You must have all heard about Scorpio's need for revenge. Right at the end of the 1990's transiting Pluto was forming a square to my natal Sun (self) in the seventh house of relationships. I met a man who controlled, used and abused my life for 3 years. I have always been fascinated by men with complicated natures, but what is it about Scorpio that wishes death on another person? I doubt he really meant what he said, but in the heat of the argument he intended every single word.I am not trying to paint Scorpio’s character black, but why do Scorpio's wish such horrible "fates" on others. Psychologists believe that revenge is an essential factor in the interplay between victim and perpetrator. Scorpio's revenge is usually motivated by the powerful feelings of hatred. In couples relationships it can be a common theme especially during a difficult and painful separation. I was reflecting upon the possible reasons for his imaginings of a terrible fate inflicted upon my dear soul. The usual list of Scorpio keywords come to mind, and in no particular order of preference:
1. Revenge (and revenge is a dish best served cold)
2. Need for Justice and being handed out the right kind of death to justify all the deep feelings of pain they feel inside – Eye for an eye. You will feel the extent of how much I hurt, etc.
3. A powerful need for vengeance when feeling deeply wronged by someone
4. Regaining a sense a power. Scorpio needs to feel in control
5. Being Humiliated/Scorpio has an intense amount of pride
6. A gut reaction against trauma, shame, denigration and loss
Most people believe the best form of revenge is taking back your life, and living it to the full. Being the best you can be. Knowing my Scorpio ex - his vote would be for a long, slow and painful death scene, and to be loved and hated by a Scorpion male, there really is no other feeling like it in the world.
