The Symbol of Scorpio: Death and Scorpion

10 year1On October 24th, the sun entered Scorpio and began a one-month journey. Scorpio in tarot card corresponds to death card. In the early days, Scorpio's dominant planet Mars was related to the attack card in the Tarot card, but now its dominant planet Pluto is related to the decision card in the Tarot card. Scorpio belongs to the water sign, and the water in the tarot card describes the typical scene of human emotional life.

Death and destruction, the symbol of scorpions

The origin of western astrology is related to Babylonia, Cartier and Egypt, where scorpions have horrible poisonous needles. A brief review of scorpion's life will soon show why it is associated with death, destruction, rebirth and metamorphosis.

Scorpions can grow to 7 feet long. They have six feet. When they tear their prey apart with their first feet and suck juice from it, their second feet hold it tightly like a powerful and beneficial pliers. Finally, the gods assigned two claws of the scorpion to Libra in the zodiac, symbolizing the measure of justice and the bondage of marriage, while the remaining four claws were used for walking.

Scorpion venom is divided into two types, one is blood toxin that causes pain and swelling, and the other is neurotoxin that causes nerve paralysis and death. The reproductive process of scorpions is that after mating between females and males, females will kill and devour males. After pregnancy, the female scorpion will give birth to the offspring of the swallowed husband, completing a cycle of death and rebirth.

Mars and castles

Scorpions are terrible enemies. In astrology, Mars represents a warrior, so naturally, Mars is related to Scorpio. In traditional astrology, Mars is the god of war and Zeus's right-hand man. Mars is also related to sex, symbolizing sexual desire.

In Tarot's castle card, we can see a cylindrical castle, which was probably destroyed by lightning. Scorpion attacks are as unexpected and painful as lightning. In tarot cards, we see that because of human arrogance, angry gods attack human beings with poisonous needles, just like Zeus attacks his opponents with skyfire.

Pluto and decision

Pluto, the Roman god, was the ruler of hell and the underworld. Pluto also represents death and rebirth. Most religions and gods talk about the decision to move from one life to another. Indeed, after contact with hell and the underworld, all mankind has been fundamentally changed. In mythology, Pluto and the decisive board of directors represent the transition from one existing state to another.
