Soar, O Scorpio🦂
( Honoring the Scorpio Woman )
Mystical, powerful, and otherworldly,
You operate on a plane of existence
To which few have access.
In many ways, Scorpio, you're an enigma
Unto yourself, scarcely understanding
Your own magic abilities.
Accept the fact that you funnel knowledge
From a source so deeply intuitive,
it can't be explained in earthly terms.
The real question is, will you use your
Powers for good or evil?
A water sign, you're an emotional being.
When your feelings are hurt, your instinct is
To strike back with double force, delivering
The poisonous sting of the scorpion.
You can do damage, but you're also
Capable of blessing people with the
Guidance of an "earth angel."
Legend has it that Scorpios evolve
Through three phases of consciousness:
From scorpion to serpent to high-flying eagle.
When you cultivate the ability
To soar above your reactions,
Your true powers are unleashed.
Holding people's hands through turmoil,
Walking them through hell till they reach Nirvana,
Unlocking their pent-up life-force libidos—
You do it without a single crack in your
Emotional veneer; do you practice this?
As such, people regularly come to you
With their deepest confessions and crisis.
You respect confidentiality
With the loyalty of a CIA agent,
And will never leak a friend's biz out as rumor.
As the zodiac's famed sex symbol,
Physical attraction is top-tier.
As frisky as you can be, you're also
Capable of long bouts of chastity.
Sex is spiritual and all-encompassing,
And you've likely been burned by giving your
Affections to an unattainable lover.
You're wired to bond fully, intimately, and
Addictively with a mate. For that reason,
You'd be wise to pick a partner who
Loves you enough to inject you into his veins.
And so, your ruler is Pluto, the master of
Mystical transformations and hidden powers.
Your gifts are spot-on intuition, fierce loyalty,
Resourcefulness, and creative genius.
Your issues are suspicion, guardedness,
Addiction, and obsessing.
Your saving grace is your keen ability
To read people's needs and pre-empt them.
Your path is to guide people through their
Fears, secrets, and taboos in order to
Cause a transformation.
Now soar, O Scorpio, soar!

Eventually, I hope this will be the start of a tribute to women through the entire western Zodiac.

There is a lot of Scorpio in my houses. I am a cusp birth on the Libra side. Curiously my father was a cusp birth on the Scorpio side. These little synchronizations that always emerge, if you've an eye for them.
I know what you mean about the Scorpions sting. Recognizing the source of hurt comes from within, not others, as they touch on areas which we need to grow, recognizing that lashing out is defense of ego, needing to enforce the illusory construct of self and separation from others, is how one finds the blessings of opposition and hardship. True enlightenment takes the form of love and calm abiding. You coin it beautifully here.
"When you cultivate the ability
To soar above your reactions,
Your true powers are unleashed. "
That is what I call discipline, pure and simply.
Your write has a mature meter, unhurried and a Zen cognizance I found thoroughly enjoyable to absorb. Finely penned tribute, Jade. You're going to run through the Zodiac? That would be terrific.
With sincere regard,
Daniel

Oh sorry Jade. I corrected my comment probably the same moment you were replying to it. Ships passing in the electronic mist, as it were. Thank you for giving me the heads up about the Author's Note.

You helped make my day with your comment, my friend, so it’s a pleasure. I don’t know how long it will take to do the series, it won’t be done on any timeline. Just - when the spirit movers.💇🏻♀️

"When you cultivate the ability

... to act, not re-act - a place of power indeed.
Loved the write. This cancerian here will be peeping out from his shell in anticipation of other poems in the series - and I know they will be worth the wait :))

Josh! I pegged you for a Cancer! I told Johnny I felt you were because of your sensitivity.

Yes, well spotted, but I'm wondering also if being born on 4th July adds any kudos ? :))

This was absolutely beautiful.
As a Scorpio woman I approve 👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️

Why do I feel like this was inspired by the conversation between PoetsRevenge and myself regarding Scorpio women. They are definitely a force to be reckoned with, and this is very well-written, Jade.
A few notations: Just as a Scorpio is an enigma, i.e. - water sign with a land animal. Scorpio is dually ruled by not only Pluto, but Mars as well. Our "issues" are actually challenges for us to overcome and control - challenges prompt all signs to evolve beyond the earthen quarters their flesh inhabits.
Lastly, Libra and Scorpio hold a special bond because the Scorpion relinquished its claws that Libra could don scales and exist.
Again, well done!

Thank you, my Sage, for your excellent & insightful comment replete with the notations.
And, since her name has been brought up ( as a Scorpio woman ), I hope PoetsRevenge will grace us here to give her thoughts on this, her sign.

This is really insightful and inspiring, and I love your own unique takes, like this line,
'You'd be wise to pick a partner who
Loves you enough to inject you into his veins. '
The topic of Scorpio came up in discussion of the confessionalists and Sharon Olds, I had read that she was a Scorpio along with Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. I just found that a fascinating fact. It's great that there is interest in astrology and that it is a theme. I'm working on a Scorpio piece as well. Thanks for writing this it's great :)

Why thank you, dear sister, for such a wonderful response & for the listing!
I never knew that Olds, Sexton & Platt are all Scorpio! And all three are women who’s poetry I love! So thank you for letting me know that factoid!💌
