Reading the symbolism
Trust, privacy and meaningful commitment recur in Scorpio interpretations. Decide what you need to know and ask a specific question. Depth in a conversation comes from listening as well as from disclosure.
Strengths and a useful pause
The traditional profile emphasizes focus, persistence and emotional depth. A useful point to notice is holding a suspicion privately instead of checking it. Try recalling a particular situation before deciding how closely the description fits.
The ruler in context
Pluto; traditionally Mars supplies another layer of symbolism in this profile. A birth chart also includes the Moon, rising sign and other placements, so a Sun-sign description leaves many details open.
