Hey guys! Wow, this must be the 1st post that I actually start with a greeting to you. Anyway, I’m quite a superstitious person, although I don’t believe in like walking under ladders give you bad luck or if a black cat walks by you get bad luck or something those kinds of old wives tale. Although ghosts or spontaneous combustion have not yet been proven scientifically, there is no reason for me to believe it is untrue. Maybe we just have not discovered the secrets for such phenomenon. But I’m not going to talk about ghosts or spontaneous combustion today but instead on the field of astrology.

There are 12 constellations in the zodiac. The best and the one that I’m most familiar with is constellation of Scorpius, the scorpion. In astrology, people born between the 23 of October to the 21 of November are grouped into the star sign of Scorpio. I happen to be 1 of those people (no surprise there)

Now I’m going to try to attempt to write about Scorpios using my limited knowledge and wikipedia. Scorpios are 1 of the fixed signs in the zodiac (others include (from wikipedia) Taurus, Leo and Aquarius). It is ruled jointly by Mars and Pluto. It is also water sign (others include (from wikipedia) Cancer and Pisces). Scorpio is the most powerful star sign in the zodiac. They are known to be proud, mysterious, determined and jealous. They are also very passionate people and loyal.

Scorpio is symbolized by the Scorpion. Intense and emotionally perceptive, you pick up on unspoken words and speak the language of gesture. Deep, mysterious and magnetically attractive, you yearn for emotional intimacy. If hurt, you really sting -- and you don't forgive easily!

As opposed to the 'roiling seas' seen in other Water Signs, a better motto for Scorpions would be 'still waters run deep’.

Haha I thought I said that I was like this before. Hmm looks like there might be some truth to this horoscope thing. Well that’s pretty much what I can think off about my sign. You can go to astrology.com to check it out if you really want.

Overall, I would like to believe that these things are somehow true. However, it is not practical as most of the predictions that you read about are so vague. I like the idea of fate though, that we are destined for something but I can attribute that to the type of books that I like to read. Maybe its just positive reinforcement. That sometimes when you get the prediction that holds true in your life you take the horoscopes seriously even though the other 40 times the prediction didn’t occur. Its almost like gambling, when you win a hand and so you convince yourself that you are feeling lucky even though you have lost a lot of games already. Or maybe after reading these astrology sites that describe your sign, you begin to subconsciously think that your 1 of them because us humans strive to be the norm and hence dislike to be an anomaly. So maybe I’m not proud or mysterious, or magnetically attractive but after reading this maybe my personality adjusts to these adjectives. Maybe its because I take the comfort in knowing that I’m not the only person who are a combination of those traits and there are many people, other Scorpios that are like me. Who knows?
