Scorpio loves to get Involved, going down deeper, coming up dirtier, and laying bare anything that lies hidden there.

The Phoenix is the ultimate goal as a Scorpio. The mythical Phoenix is destroyed and rises above its own ashes (another Pluto trait). Life is hard. Scorpio knows how hard life can be. But when Scorpio reaches the symbol of the Phoenix, he or she has achieved the most mature, stable and comfortable life. Knowing he or she can survive anything, Scorpio at this point, doesn't bog itself down with petty arguments and plots of revenge. The Phoenix has risen above all that nonsense, adopting a “live and let live” attitude, and once again, trusting God to handle affairs of revenge and violence. The Phoenix is the most peaceful of the Scorpion symbols. The older Scorpio has usually achieved this based on all of life’s lessons.

Key Lessons I Learned:

"If you build your heart from the inside out, someone special will want to share the beat with you"

We seldom remember what WE choose to forget.

They may kick you when you are down, and they most certainly will kick you when you are up. It’s all in how you stand tall, proud and unashamed; once your feet are steady on the ground.

There is no time in this life for regrets. Everything that you experienced made you the unique person you are this moment. It is being “REAL” that eventually opens our heart.

I love life. If you always see the IF in it, there are endless possibilities.

Encouragement from the Phoenix:

Everyone needs to be encouraged…Change is hard. But sometimes it is the only thing that saves you. You must want the change, so badly. Addiction is evil. It takes hold and says, “I won’t let you go.” You have to be smarter than your addiction and say, “You may not let me go, but I am outta here.”

Same with bad relationships.

We stay because they are comfy, like an old pair of slippers. Sometimes, cleaning out that closet is the best thing you can ever do. After all, it makes room for new and better things…

YOUR NEW LIFE.

“Something magical has happened to me: like a dream when one feels frightened and creepy, and suddenly wakes up to the knowledge that no such terrors exist. I have wakened up.” ― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

"Cat people are different, to the extent that they generally are not conformists. How could they be, with a cat running their lives?" --Louis J. Camuti

If you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you.

From "Eat Pray Love"

"In life, think of mean people like sand paper. They may scratch you and hurt you, but at the end, you come out smooth and polished and the mean person is just worn and ugly. "

"I have often been adrift, but I have always stayed afloat." --David Berry
