Black Astrology : SCORPIO THE SCORPION...

SCORPIO CHILDREN...

Scorpio babies are extremely observant. They come into the world and be- gin at once to record an emotional diary of experiences that they will retain throughout life. Since most of these children will also develop friendly, cheerful personalities, it is their parents and those who ultimately share intimate relationships with them who come to understand that Scorpios have far more complex natures than their outer personalities suggest. As part of their celestial heritage, Scorpio children are endowed with remarkable strength and recuperative powers that help them overcome such disadvantages as lack of physical nourishment, lack of material comfort, physical illness, and other hardships that life can sometimes impose. What is most difficult for these children to overcome is emotional deprivation and disappointment. It is parents who promote healthy emotional bonds who are most likely to produce well-adjusted Scorpio children.

Most Scorpio babies develop definite personal preferences very early. For reasons that are often unfathomable to anyone but themselves, they seem arbitrarily to choose one thing over another -and certain people over others. But an element of mystery is characteristically a part of every Scorpio personality, even young Scorpio children. As they get older, they find that trying to solve as well as create puzzles and mysteries is an intriguing way to spend their time. The mystery factor in their nature can be happily satisfied when their parents are thoughtful enough to provide some sort of cupboard – or perhaps special nooks and crannies – somewhere in the house where these little ones will be able to hide their secret treasures, and, when in the mood, even hide themselves. Such places need not only give the appearance of secrecy, but they must also be places of absolute safety where children can in no way endanger themselves.

Though it does not guarantee intellectual achievement, there is a well- developed keenness for discovery in all Scorpio children. As infants, they are fascinated with toys and gadgets with detailed features and intricate movements. When they get older, this fascination will become the urge to know exactly how and why things work. As soon as they have acquired the necessary physical skills to get around on their own, they will strike out to explore unknown territory from basement to attic. As they get older, they can develop just as much enthusiasm for intellectual discovery, delighting in solving mysteries and puzzles. They will also be delighted when their parents take them on "mystery trips" to new places and to enjoy new experiences.

One of the most wonderful things to a Scorpio child is nature itself - perhaps because nature, after all, is the greatest mystery of all. Not surprisingly, the biological and psychological studies attract more than a fair share of Scorpio students. Since many Scorpios grow up to be avid gardeners and landscapers, parents will not be off the mark when they encourage their Scorpio child to grow seeds in a pot and, later, gradually let them plan and plant gar- dens of their own. Scorpio children are also apt to demonstrate mechanical skills, which means they are very adept at getting into and out of cupboards and closets, and prying the lids off or unlocking various containers. Along with mechanical dexterity, they often possess artistic talent as well. It is truly worthwhile for parents to encourage their growing Scorpio child with a variety of arts and crafts, as well as exposure to art and music.

As aforementioned, Scorpio children tend to form definite preferences. Even very young Scorpios seem to take an unaccountable and instant like or dislike of people, food, and various other experiences. What is worse, once they have formed such opinions – or, for that matter, become engaged in some disagreeable habit such as sucking their thumbs or waking up at 2:00am expecting food or attention – it is almost impossible to get them to change. There is a strong stubborn streak in the Scorpio nature. On the positive side, however, their stubbornness can translate into impressive stick-to-itiveness when it comes to important projects and other commitments later in life. This type of assiduousness is responsible for successful attainment of goals, as well as enduring relationships.

Scorpio children are not necessarily shy, but when proud parents want to show their offspring off to friends and relatives, it would be wise to observe the baby's initial reactions to the sight of unfamiliar faces. If signs of un- happiness begin to appear, parents can be pretty sure such distress will not disappear for any amount of cajoling until the baby is back in the nursery and out of the limelight. Scorpio children, like Scorpio adults, usually prefer being able to observe people from positions in which they themselves can remain unseen. Letting toddlers, for instance, observe company from the hallway or another room – entering it only if and when they feel comfortable doing so – is one way to avoid traumatizing those who are feeling reluctant to socialize.

Forcing a Scorpio child to do anything is definitely not a project for which parents should be willing to volunteer. Those who attempt it will need the patience of Job and the wisdom of Solomon to sort out the winners from the losers in a contest of wills with a Scorpio of any age. By the time these children reach school age and beyond, their typical reaction to strangers is to fearlessly meet them head-on, with a look of frankness and curiosity.

Mars, the planet of dynamic energy, rules Scorpio, and this sign is co-ruled by Pluto, the planet of depth and intensity. Thus one of the most singular elements of the Scorpio nature is a certain intensity that comes out in different ways. It offers, for example, the potential for developing remarkable powers of concentration and focused activity. two assets that are often at the heart of Scorpio's success in life. However, this intensity can also be demonstrated on an emotional level, and it is on the emotional level that Scorpio children can experience some problems.

It has been pointed out that many Scorpios possess cheerful, friendly personalities, but the difficulty with such personalities is that they do not always give an accurate impression of either the sensitivity or the depth of their feelings. Those born under the other water signs (i.e., Cancer and Pisces) are also emotionally sensitive – and make no secret of their feelings. But the more self-contained Scorpios do not want their sensitivity to be obvious. These children have long memories when it comes to emotional upsets. The unfortunate thing is that those who can help them through a crisis or loss may not always be aware of just how deeply these children have suffered if they cannot get them to discuss their feelings. When there has been no obvious crisis or disappointment, adults may not even realize these children are upset about something.

Jealousy, possessiveness, and vengefulness are other destructive emotional attitudes they can develop. On the positive side is the fact that the same emotional strength responsible for their obsessive behavior can also be responsible for their remarkable power to overcome adversity. Scorpio’s intensity is often demonstrated in their singular streak of competitiveness. When they are engaged in contests of any kind, they will not take kindly to finishing in any other place by first. Parents can certainly help to modify this potential tendency during the early stages of their pre-school and school-age Scorpios, guiding their children to grow up wanting to be successful, but never at the cost of losing a friend or compromising more important values.

Although Taurus (Scorpio’s opposite and complementary sign) is most often associated with stubbornness, this particular trait is equally entrenched in the Scorpio nature. For this reason, it is important for parents to avoid engaging in a contest of wills with their offspring. These children must learn early and unmistakably that rules and regulations will be consistently enforced, and that punishment is certain when they ignore these restrictions.

Another significant element in the nature of the Scorpion is the need to gain control or a position of power. This can be exhibited in many different ways. Later in life, it may be through politics, religion, or intellectual achievements that they will get a certain amount of power and control. Parents can take advantage of this trait by encouraging their teen-age Scorpios to turn the need for control toward themselves…attempting, for example, to control the development of their physical bodies through proper diet and physical-fitness programs.

These children can develop an awesome determination and physical strength, which in turn can make them formidably skilled athletes. They enjoy being in the environment of a lake or seashore, whether as permanent residents or just on vacations. They should be encouraged in their preference for being near water and also in their participation in water sports, especially swimming. As one of the water signs, it is a natural part of their celestial heritage.

Their competive spirit is another significant element that tends to make Scorpio children strong athletes. With practice, their movements become swift and accurate. Sometimes their retaliatory instincts have to be curbed. Even in play they can become so completely absorbed by what they’re doing that they have to be reminded it’s only a game. Scorpios often to feeling that their biggest competitor is themselves. As a result, when these children begin to mature, they have a tendency to take up bodybuilding, physical-fitness programs, and sports or activities such as running or jogging, where essentially the participant is ultimately competing against himself.

As adults Scorpios represent some of the best gourmet cooks in the zodiac (Cancers are the best). As young children they can be taught the art and skill of being a chef or good cook. Even before they are old enough to handle this type of activity, they are likely to demonstrate surprisingly mature tastes when it comes to their personal selection of foods. They have fondness for re-doing things. If, for example, they are offered an opportunity to paint and paper a playhouse – or perhaps build one from scratch or even construct one out of discarded boxes or other suitable materials – they can show quite a bit of imagination and talent…
