Esoteric Scorpio: Your Key To Relationship.

Transformation: Motion away from Separateness.

The opposite sign Taurus, the color red-orange, is the sign of selfless devotion and deep understanding of the meaning of love. Yet, without a suitable object to shower their love on, a Taurus has a tendency to excessive self-indulgence, and to manipulate material resources for purely personal pleasure. Because of an overvaluing of worldly goods and money stemming from a lack of self-worth, Taurus’s lesson is to learn to allow the affectional impulse to flow freely, by giving and receiving love without attaching any conditions.

As a Scorpio the affectional urges have become mixed with the passionate or physical components of love. The lack of self-worth issues have evolved into self-destructive urges, but also a deep understanding of the meaning of regeneration through sacrifice and death. The task is to manifest the regenerative side of love, and not allow the passions to dominate when giving and receiving love. The whole work is the atonement — at-one-meant — to express pure affectional love by sacrificing the passionate nature, to rise, purified from our own ashes. Without our love nature expressing freely, unmixed with the sexual affections, unconscious self-destructive urges emerge. Then, the lack of self-worth issues of the Taurus, are expressed in the Scorpio as the abuse of power, a win at all costs. This is the desire for power over others, with little thought to the ideals of fair play or honor — and little chance of atonement.

Atonement and regeneration are synonymous, just as power and sacrifice, orgasm and death, all require a letting go of a sense of separateness, a merging with the other, including the divine. The dichotomy for Scorpio is that all personal power is based on the concept that others are separate, and therefore sexual objects. Yet, the separateness is merely our perception, whereby our abuse of power separates us from truly experiencing the other and thereby avoiding our own transformation.

Our sense-of-self devised by our power over others, keeps us safe. It causes the sense of separateness, from mixing the affectional love nature with a sexual overtone. True merging with another, without personality transformation, is the most difficult task for a Scorpio. If a Scorpio’s reality is based on sexual power over others, then you would be motivated to keep those false perceptions growing in order to keep your personality powerful and alive. So, experiencing personal power is a disguise to remain separate yourself. Since for a Scorpio, sacrificing power usually means suppressing individuality, that would feel like a dissolution of the sense-of-self, and this would create great inner conflict.

True power can not be experienced without transformation, the destruction of personality and its sense of separateness. Personality requires power to exist. Personality transforms and loosens its grip, by the exhaustion that ensues from perceiving power as being personal, until surrender takes place and balance ensues. Although this results in a loss of ego, it is the beginning of regeneration, the movement away from separateness. In this weakened state, sacrifice takes place, and with its resulting expansion of power moves into a state of Oneness. Then all power is perceived as spiritual — leaving you free to give unconditionally.

Giving unconditionally is a heart issue — not understood by the intellect. It takes a psychochemical change to make the shift brought about through surrendering the process to the One Self. It acts as a subconscious signal that shifts the sense-of-self through a chemical process, out of the illusion of power being personal, into regeneration and atonement. This is brought about by our affections being purified of their passionate perceptions until we have taught ourselves to use power to transform our false perception.
