Belonging to a specific zodiac sign, from which it receives the influence that defines its personality, is determined by the position of the Sun, which represents the ideals of the ego understood as a conscious part.

In psychological astrology , Scorpio represents the sign in which the subject’s urge and curiosity towards everything that cannot be rationally and scientifically explained is most felt. That this attraction is experienced as a conflict of two equal and opposite forces is not to be taken for granted, on the contrary.

One of the goals of those who belong to the sign of Scorpio according to evolutionary astrology is to make use of both forces using both cerebral hemispheres to make their creativity concrete and real.

It may seem strange to associate the sign that most of all has been linked to the idea of ​​destruction and the duality of Love and Death, Eros and Thanatos, the generating force of creation, yet this statement acquires meaning when Death is understood as transformation and passage. necessary for the renewal of life. This meaning is explained by the I Ching the Book of Changes in the hexagram 23 – PO – The crumbling, formed by Mount on Earth, that is, by five broken lines with a whole above.

In the Second Book we read: “This concept, taken together with that of the next sign, shows the connection between decay and resurrection. The fruit must decompose before the new seed can develop. The tendency of the sign to sink is very strong .

The two nuclear signs, as well as the primary sign below, are KKUNN (the Earth, formed by three broken lines), whose movement is downward.

In contrast, the primary sign above, KENN, (the Mount), stands still, devoid of movement. This leads to a loosening of the structure. The tendency of the five (broken) yin lines is to cause the (whole) yang line to fall above, as they sink, and thus to withdraw its support from below. Here too the fundamental tendency of the Book of Changes is expressed: the luminous principle is represented as invincible because in its sinking it creates new life like the seed of wheat that sinks into the earth. “

Hence, the destructive tendency of the sign of Scorpio can be understood as the need to seek decay to trigger the new birth process.
