Hey Elsa,
I know a girl with probably a lot of Scorpio who basically told me she could read minds or at least guess the tenor of people’s thoughts. She scared me profoundly and now I void her. Have Scorps been known to penetrate minds that far that they know our actual thoughts?
No Birth Data
Dear Data,
Actually I think Scorpio does have this ability for good or ill. They can certainly read mine and I will give you an example:
I spent 3 years with my ex, a man who had his Sun, Venus, Mercury and Saturn in Scorpio. We got along very well. We rarely had a conflict but he told me repeatedly (to my complete bafflement) that he thought I would be happier with someone I could fight with. Guess what? He was right.
I could go on and on with the Scorpios who have been “right” over the years so I vote yes on the question. Scorpio penetrates; there is no doubt about it.
Anyone else?
My SO has Scorpio, and I do think he can read my mind (he also has Capricorn so he is very polite about it–he never reveals what he *knows).
As an aside, I think people who brag about reading other people’s minds are rude and should be avoided. Respect privacy, people!
Two of my BFFs are Scorpios, and they’ve both proven more than once that they know me better than I know myself. Fortunately, there’s a reason they’re my bestest buds… They use their powers for good, not evil, at least where I’m concerned! 😀
we all used our powers for evil when needed
defanitely: they can read your mind, guess your thoughts,…and whatever you can wish ,… however, having a strong geminni nature and raised by scorpios and having too much sadge,… I learned that the best way to lie a scorpio is let them all at sight. They get really confused. All that you have to do is change your mind in the critical moment.
Hahaha– crazymoon, that sounds like a good plan, except it also sounds like a good way to get killed ex-post-facto.
I also find it uncanny how they pick up on sexual things, like sensing if a woman is pregnant, even if she is only four days pregnant, or figuring out if someone is having an affair, or being able to smell sex on someone, even if they’ve showered. Often they like to read mystery stories so it just exacerbates the process and they finetune their whodunnit capabilites incorporating authors’ techniques. I always swear I am going to be careful around Scorpios, but its like they create an energy field like a vaccuum which I regrettably fill up in reflex.
Unfortunately it’s usually the negative they unearth without the compassion side of it all. Vilifying what maybe shouldn’t be vilified. Painting it all black, creating demons where there aren’t any for the sake of depth.
That would follow if has an evolutionary purpose. Self-protection, a necessity of all living things. Negative assignations might reflect a deeply wounded psyche.
elsie – My daughter is a Gemini sun, Pluto rising in Scorpio.
In my experience, Scorpios probe and probe and THINK they have me figured out, creating some deep mental backstory on me, and then they spring it on me and end up being so far off the mark it’s hilarious. It might work with some people, though. They don’t intimidate me in the slightest.
Lol
and when you combine scorpio with gemini energy, not only do you have someone who can read tea leaves — but also that person can convincingly talk about his/her perceptions.btw, it’s interesting how many gemini/scorpio types show up here…
i rest my case 😉
gemini sun, scorpio moon, here)
Oh man, you guys, I’m so scared. I really fear people who can read your thoughts to the word. I usually fill it with gross, embarrassing thoughts (OCD) when I know someone can. My mind is a private place. I asked the question. Kashmiri, she didn’t brag about reading minds, it just slipped out. She was talking about a guy and said, “He’s one of the few people whose mind I can’t read.” I said, “Can you read my mind?” She said something like, “About, I can guess around what you’re thinking.” I left and hovered in a room upstairs for 10 minutes. She also guessed one time that I had feelings for someone before I knew or admitted I did. Now I avoid her. I feel embarrassed.
intuition, and guts and an uncanny sense of what’s going on underneath the surface, sure.
but actually reading someone’s thoughts? i don’t think so. usually. 😉
to clarify- “gut knowledge”
max – no offense, that is happening allll the time recently, I don’t know why or what to do. 🙁
Dina it sounds like you might benefit greatly from practicing what’s called psychic protection.
Imagine that the white light that glows from the goodness of your being surrounds you, protecting you. Your energy is your own, despite what any crackpot tries to tell you (sorry, not putting down your pal).
Thanks, kashmiri. She’s not my pal either. I’ve had problems with psychic protection most of my life. I was way too open to all kinds of influences. Plus when I want to “cleanse” the light outside of me, I usual do it by opening. Closing up feels kind of unnatural. I tried to feel this girl out, she doesn’t feel particularly psychic to me, but like a detective, she seems like she has unexpected leads and can do unexpected things. I was pretty intuitive, but can’t read minds thought for thought. My intuitive friend tells me nobody can. Plus thanks for sympathizing.
Well, it seems to me that the intent and effort to read thoughts is a psychic invasion akin to rape. People don’t have a right to access your “inner room” unless you invite them in. Some Scorpios might be a *little* bit good at this, but if they’re announcing it, it’s a way of intimidating and taking power. (Especially from easy marks – you might be one – you said you fear people who can read your mind and they can probably smell that a mile away.)
In my experience, the people who are truly talented, psychic, smart, proficient at whatever thing they’re proclaiming they’ve mastered aren’t the ones going around announcing it. Even in casual mention. It’s the wannabees who want to go around showing off what little dexterity they have.
She scared me profoundly and now I void her.
Hrmm. Do I want to know what that means?
I learned that the best way to lie a scorpio is let them all at sight. They get really confused. All that you have to do is change your mind in the critical moment.
Ah, but the thing is, is that one knows a Gemini is going to keep changing their mind anyways, so there’s hardly any point in believing (or disbelieving) anything they say. “I’m going to join a commune of goat lovers and move to rural Iowa.” “Ok, whatever. Have a good time.” Next day: “Never mind that, those people were horrible; I’m going to join a commune of urbanite Mennonites that live in New York City and drive wagons everywhere.” “Ok, whatever. Have a good time.”
In my experience, Scorpios probe and probe and THINK they have me figured out, creating some deep mental backstory on me, and then they spring it on me and end up being so far off the mark it’s hilarious. It might work with some people, though. They don’t intimidate me in the slightest.
In my experience, people are always trying to create this deep complex backstory about how I’m trying to intimidate them, control them or manipulate them. It’s really pretty hilarious because that sort of thing would require that I care, and of course, I don’t. I am most likely not even paying attention, since it probably isn’t particularly important. Here today, gone tomorrow.
Have Scorps been known to penetrate minds that far that they know our actual thoughts?
Sometimes; this is known as ‘good guessing’. On the other hand, from my point of view, most people communicate the obvious over and over again, but in the social world we live, we’re either supposed to overlook that, or too wrapped up in ourselves to notice, or paying attention to unimportant stuff, like whether Geminis are messing with your brain. (Hint: of course they are!)
We rarely had a conflict but he told me repeatedly (to my complete bafflement) that he thought I would be happier with someone I could fight with and guess what? ::smiles:: He was right.
Yeah, it kinda sucks when you’re dating somebody who would be happier with someone else. Such is life.

[‘So, do we get another round of SCORPIOS R T3H 3VIL in blogland or like what?’]
Interesting. It ate my comment.
max
[‘Hrmm.’]
Max is nice to see you back. I was trying to figure out where you went, but you’re a bit slippery. 😉 ha ha ha
um, ‘it’s.’ heh!
I meant I avoid her, Max. Deducing and getting subtle cues is fine, this means a person can often be wide of the mark of what you’re actually thinking. Good guessing isn’t precise when it comes to the material of your thoughts. When someone makes a claim they can read minds, the possibility scares me so I kind of submit to something like Murphy’s Law, they know more about it than I do so the worse/weirder circumstance is more likely. Aka, if someone says they can read minds, I don’t dismiss it as bullshit, I’m like, shit, to what extent? Is it possible to read the mind fully? Does Scorpio have the largest in on this? And of course, now I have no way to hide from this girl if the worst possible is in fact true. I don’t think we’re trashing Scorpios or thinking that they give a shit necessarily, merely inquiring into their abilities if they decide to train them on you/if they can help not doing it.
max – no offense, that is happening allll the time recently, I don’t know why or what to do. 🙁
No offence would be taken. I wrote the comment. I hit submit. It came back to the page with a bunch of comments added from the time I originally loaded it… and no comment from me. Huh. So I duped the page in another tab. Same as the original tab. Huh. Hit reload. No joy. Huh. Backed up in the original tab until I got back to the box with my text in it, saved the text, and then hit submit again. New page: WordPress told me I had already submitted the post.
So, it got into the database, but wasn’t displaying. Then I posted the second comment.
Obviosuly your DB isn’t screwed, so that’s something. Email notifications and page updates seem to be lagging (unless you did something to make that post appear) but eventually arrive. That suggests that there is a lag somewhere between DB and update process or possibly a lagging http server that isn’t flushing cache properly.
The first thing I would do, having no idea about the specific internals of your system, would be to check uptime, load levels and free disk space on your host. High load levels indicate a runaway process or an overloaded host (go to tech support, do not pass go), a shortage of free disk space indicates you need more disk space (got to tech support, do not pass go), and a long period of uptime suggests calling tech support and asking them to kick the machine and reboot. Or at least restart the http server. If those are all fine, you then check to see if any updates have been rolled into the system between now and a point back there where you weren’t having problems. If there have been, unroll (see tech support, or undo any updates you did). If you get here, and none of the previous has fixed the problem you may have a bug. May. Depends on what you get on the previous.
The above is generic but a start.
What happened to the top post BTW? (Jesse in the Gym) It’s in RSS but vaporized here. I was trying to read it. :/
Also: any clues on why everybody is dropping dead right now? I know of, amoungst various friends, of six dead people in two weeks.
Max is nice to see you back. I was trying to figure out where you went, but you’re a bit slippery. 😉 ha ha ha
Why, thank you! I just tend to wander off. I was hectoring rich people via various economics blogs, and that sort of thing.
Aka, if someone says they can read minds, I don’t dismiss it as bullshit, I’m like, shit, to what extent? Is it possible to read the mind fully? Does Scorpio have the largest in on this? And of course, now I have no way to hide from this girl if the worst possible is in fact true.
People, in my experience, ‘broadcast’. So do animals and other living things. Distance limits, except in special cases, and then I can hear them from a loooonnnngggg way away, which kinda sucks. In short: vibrations! Woo. Woo. I wouldn’t know and don’t want to know how to read actual thoughts (as opposed to feelings) because that would give me a headache. On the other hand, I have sun conjunct neptune so I’m supposed to be like that.
However: once upon a time, I was sleeping (during the day, round 2 pm) and dreaming. In this here dream I was on some kind of seabed. A brightly-lit and comfortable sea bed, excepting it was also a cave. (It was a dream.) In the ceiling of this cave were various holes, and coming down through the holes were golden (as in shiny and yellow) chains which were attached to the seabed floor. (It was a dream, right?) I decided that I really would like to breathe air again, so I started climbing up on one of the nearby chain. I climbed up through the hole.
A brief bout of disorientation later and I was in… Chicago. I was in Chicago, in a tall office building, looking out over a lake. And I was wearing a business blouse. And a skirt. And I had tits. And I was wearing panties… at that point the lady who owned that body got very upset at someone intruding, and I was very upset about intruding, although I was interested in taking the hardware for a spin (it just popped into my head, man, er, her head… someone’s head), which was why this lady was upset, quite understandably. I managed to shock myself awake by diving back down the hole. Really an unpleasant experience (sorry, lady!). So I was stunned awake and muttering about not climbing any golden chains again, because that was really weird. Never happened again.
Anyways, what you seem to be talking about is people invading our head. It seems to me that would be noticable and kinda weird and painful/unpleasant. So if she was doing something like that, I’m pretty sure you’d notice. I don’t think you notice at all if you were broadcasting loudly, most people don’t seem to.

[‘Doesn’t really help, does it?’]
My mom is a mega Scorpio and she always seemed to be aware of how I was doing and if something was ‘up’ with me.
I’m not saying she was ALWAYS exactly right about everything–it’s true that she could tend towards the overly protective, paranoid side on occasion but overall her hunches seemed correct about people.
Having quite a bit of water in my chart, I am familiar with this sort of intuitive energy and don’t think it’s intimidating. However…I can see if someone said something about it in an intimidating way, (i.e. I can read your mind) or other scare-tactic sounding narrative, then that would be another thing.
I think in general people are afraid of what they think people can detect in them. And intuition/psychic knowledge is also an unfamiliar and touchy topic to most people…but it’s getting more mainstream lately.
I think in any dealings with people it’s important to know a person’s boundaries and what makes them uncomfortable and be respectful. Everyone has moments when they slip up and just say something dumb or rude but if we were all really careful all the time then no communication would take place, I think. That’s what I have to remind myself when I get nervous about what comes across to others.
I operate almost exclusively on my intuition, and it is definitely confusing at times but I try to trust myself. I am practicing balancing Virgo-esque logic (something I’m supposed to be learning) to help sort of level off the influence of all the intuitive/Neptunian stuff.
Lastly…no one knows what is really most helpful to you and/or what is in your mind better than you do. So screw ’em.
max – most the tech stuff in your comment went waaaay over my head. Here’s the part I do know.
On the disappearing post, it went live in error (briefly) so I took it down.
On disappearing comments, I use a spam filter and as I understand, it is driven by the collective… all the people who use the filter. It works pretty well but is sometimes aggressive for reasons I could not explain. I do know others using the same filter experience the same but all in all it’s pretty effective so I just endure these periods.
So your comment is not disappearing, it’s going into the trash and I have to dig it out.
I am close to the computer a lot of the time but on always so it it is possible your comment can sit in there for some hours or even days if I am really off the job but this is also rare.
On the lag, I do not control this… but I know the mechanic on the site did set comment to delay and post in bunches to speed the loading of the site overall so there you go.
That is everything else knows! :0
I feel like I pick up on the obvious. I agree that people do ‘broadcast’ themselves most of the time and if you are observing this and noticing certain things about their behavior and the things they say, by deduction, experience and logic you can usually know what someone is thinking. I have Scorpio and Gemini and I can read people most of the time, not all of the time, like when projecting gets in the way. I would not call it reading minds, I believe that someone does have control over what they broadcast, if someone is telling you what you are thinking and they are right, I do not believe they have invaded you privacy or your head, they have simply picked up on, through your own behavior, what is going on in your head. A simple observation is all it is to me.
Max I’m sorry your friends’ friends keep dying. I’ve experienced a similar thing with friends’ relatives in the past few months. They’re going down like bowling pins. 🙁
Maybe it’s Pluto’s transition…though I don’t remember this happening when Pluto went into Sag.
Thanks for being on the job all the time, Elsa. I appreciate it.
You could take a metaphysical angle on the topic of whether someone can know what you’re thinking. Swedenborg and lots of spiritual writers claim that after death, you can’t hide your thoughts from others anymore. You appear exactly as you are. This sounds right to me, and I figure I should get used to it now. As a Neptunian type (with little Pluto), I love the idea of seeing CLEARLY, and being seen clearly.
That being said, just last week, I was working closely with a Scorpio and had petty, critical thoughts about her. I hoped she wouldn’t pick up on it, but I’m pretty sure she did. The problem was mine, not hers. And because I sensed she was catching on, it helped me wake up to my own little jealousies and deal with them.
As for whether someone can actually invade another’s mind…yikes. I guess I’ve experienced that as well, from a BF with an exact Moon-Pluto opposition. The merging part felt exhilarating, as if he could really recognize me to my core. The flip side of this was that he did seem to want to trigger me, to feed off my emotions. I didn’t comply, in fact I just couldn’t, and he moved on.
Gemini Scorpio moon/asc here. I’m a reader and am most definitely able to discern a lot about people. I learned a while back to control that and when I read it’s very intentional. I have great boundaries and don’t walk around overloaded with information because I don’t look unless I need to know. If someone asks me to read them I can and will. If someone is approaching me for friendship or a job or some other thing that would affect me, I consider it my right to determine whether I want to associate with them and in what way. Otherwise I wait for an invitation to look very deeply.
Some things still come across but I am very respectful of people’s right to privacy from my probing scorpio rays. 🙂
Thanks, you guys. So basically the verdict is that Scorpios deduce what people broadcast, that they read feelings/are intuitive rather than read thoughts?
dina-i’ve never met someone who could read thoughts word-for-word, and i don’t know that’s really possible, particularly for someone who doesn’t want to be read.
i do readings, and i’ve consistently found that when someone specifically doesn’t want to be read by me, i get nothing. even someone who does but tends to be emotionally guarded is more difficult to read. that’s not the same as whatever people broadcast openly without thinking about it.
i think you have no reason to fear this person, although i don’t know you’d want to hang around her, either. she doesn’t sound all that nice.
it’s also been my experience that strong emotions are the easiest to read. so if you’re concerned when you’re around someone who you’re uncomfortable with, staying emotionally calm and centered, and visualizing a protective sheild around you that only positve energy can come through, should help.
🙂
“Scorpions likes to dig in your secrets and don’t respect any boundary.”
Don’t paint us all with that brush. It’s not true of me. I have very good boundaries and respect those of other people.
Sheila, about your comment as being killed ex post-facto (sounds so good, really ha ha ha) I have to say you, they know you will change your mind, as Mazx said, they forget you (at least evolutionary scorpio) because they know perfectly nobody is perfect. Scorpions likes to dig in your secrets and don’t respect any boundary. I have mercury at #12 house almost scorpio and I don’t respect any boundary in THAT side of my personality about other’s people thoughts, I am psychologist (oriented to psychodiagnostic) and I can tell you never ever is enough about knowing other people mind and thoughts, feelings and so on. Scorpios can read a mind? I think they can get a flavour or taste about your intentions, however read a mind as a book…may be it is a difficult thing.
I have Merc conjunct Neptune in Scorpio. In 2000 I thought I could actually read people’s minds & got pretty paranoid about it, went on psych meds & was told I was probably schizophrenic.
It went away after a few years & I’m neither on meds or have that issue anymore.
That’s cool, Lupa. I definitely don’t think that all Scorpios dig regardless of boundaries. What I’ve found about a Piscean friend of mine, which may be true of Scorpios is that she receives a lot about people intuitively, but she keeps it to herself. People have the choice to respect people’s boundaries through silence if they can’t block their impressions. With her, this can get annoying when I want to know and she won’t tell me.
“If you get this guy figured out, he’s history. I have seen you do this. If you can exhaust him… if he’s got nothing left to probe and his whole psychology is revealed, well at that point you are done like dinner. You leave because there is just nothing left to interest. He is this and this and this and that’s all. That is the scope of the guy – it’s as far as he can go.”
Elsa, when you talked about your friend who has Scorpio, it reminded me of what this girl said. She liked a certain guy because he was difficult to probe, while apparently most people are not to her (which was scary to me of course).
hmmm. I don’t think anyone can read anyone else that accurately, but some can can get quite close. I think Scorpio/Pluto types are very observant and perceptive…they pick up all the clues people ‘broadcast’. I wouldn’t call this a mind reading capability though, just highly developed observation skills. Pisces/Neptune can do something similar but the approach is different. They tend to absorb the vibes coming in from all around them, they equilibrate for a while, and then a thought bubbles up. Pisces tends to be more passive too, being somewhat unable to tune this stuff out, or even oblivious that they know something ‘sensitive’ in the first place. It just flows in and they drink it up. Whereas pluto types seem to actively look for clues and analyze them rigorously – like a detective. Different approach but results appear similar.
Gemini rising trine pluto 🙂
Yup, you hit the nail on the head, Ana. For this reason, I consider Pisces more “psychic”/intuitive because they can’t help the true information that they are bombarded with. Scorpio definitely has the psychologist/detective side. A Scorpio that doesn’t appear psychically potent to me does probe shrewdly, but it doesn’t creep me out as much. It’s hard to tell.
How much Pluto do you need to be a Pluto type?
I’m a Gemini with Mercury trine Pluto and Neptune sextile Pluto.
Oh Lupa please! Ok, I assume it is a generalization – I believe in personal freedom responsability and so on, However I think the scorpion forces compells to unveil hidden things, sometimes the hidden things are beyond boundaries.
Hello
On psychic protection… If you can do a one second meditation, ie flip a switch into a meditative state…then visualize that you are putting on a protective suit. zip it up so that it covers you from head to toe. visualize that the suit is full of hundreds of tiny wholes that will let your light out but will not let others darkness in. Next you quickly build your light energy inside your core and then visualize it shining outward through the tiny wholes.
I was taught this many years ago and have used it from time to time when I have intuitively felt threatened or vulnerable to another’s dark negative energy.
Give it a shot. I find that it works quite well.
all the best from spinner
spinner I like that! I do my own thing in different ways but it’s always nice to hear how other people pull it off.
Thanks, I usually pretend to shut my chakras down or curl up into a tight ball of mercury, all of which don’t play out that well given that maintaining clean energy requires you to cleanse and be open.
max – most the tech stuff in your comment went waaaay over my head. Here’s the part I do know.
Sorry. Uptime: amount of time the machine has been running. Minor bugs can cause a machine running for a long time to gradually clog up. Load: how active the CPU is. If the CPU is using 96% of it’s time when it’s idle, and then the machine gets hit with big network demand (lots of page views, say), the machine will start choking and stuttering and spilling your drinks. Free space (I think) is fairly obvious: if you’ve got 100 megs stored, and 1000 megs free, you’re in fine shape and fragmentation and the like shouldn’t be a problem, if the reverse were true, the machine would slow down trying to find places to write things out. (On a clear disk, you can see forever.) None of that has anything to do with your problem, I can see, but now you are edumecated.
On the disappearing post, it went live in error (briefly) so I took it down.
H’ok. Been hitting lots of dead entries on TT, was wondering: is it me, or is it Memorex?
On disappearing comments, I use a spam filter and as I understand, it is driven by the collective… all the people who use the filter.
You have a Bayesian Spam Filter. They work really well compare to older filters. Much easier to maintain.
It works pretty well but is sometimes aggressive for reasons I could not explain.
From the link above:
Bayesian spam filtering is susceptible to Bayesian poisoning, a technique used by spammers in an attempt to degrade the effectiveness of spam filters that rely on Bayesian filtering. A spammer practicing Bayesian poisoning will send out emails with large amounts of legitimate text (gathered from legitimate news or literary sources). Spammer tactics include insertion of random innocuous words that are not normally associated with spam, thereby decreasing the email’s spam score, making it more likely to slip past a Bayesian spam filter. This is also a tactic used by advertising-oriented web pages, who also place ‘random word’ pages in their sites to alter the behavior of web page spiders (scripts that add sites automatically to a search engine) for search engines.
I probably quoted too much. I am probably quoting too much here. Alas. Not worried.
I do know others using the same filter experience the same but all in all it’s pretty effective so I just endure these periods.
So your comment is not disappearing, it’s going into the trash and I have to dig it out.
Aha: so you DO know what the problem is! Anyways, the filter can be reset and forced to relearn, or tweaked to make it slightly less aggressive. I expect it does not like large quoting chunks from comments higher on the list. Noted.
I am close to the computer a lot of the time but on always so it it is possible your comment can sit in there for some hours or even days if I am really off the job but this is also rare.
Else, hon, it’s fine. I wasn’t worried. It’s a blog, no biggie unless it make the thing not work at all.
On the lag, I do not control this… but I know the mechanic on the site did set comment to delay and post in bunches to speed the loading of the site overall so there you go.
It’s quite zippy. Everything is gud. Gweat. Wunnerful!
That is everything else knows! :0
Perhaps I have added a miniscule amount of useful info to your t-shoot, and if not, I tried!
Max I’m sorry your friends’ friends keep dying. I’ve experienced a similar thing with friends’ relatives in the past few months. They’re going down like bowling pins. 🙁
Maybe it’s Pluto’s transition…though I don’t remember this happening when Pluto went into Sag.
Thank you! I don’t remember any such thing either. I could Mars versus Pluto or something, but Pluto doesn’t kill you. Saturn or Mars will kill you. Dunno. Odd.
It went away after a few years & I’m neither on meds or have that issue anymore.
Ah. I wish. But no: I’ve ‘heard’ things all my life, and pay it no never mind. If I am physically distant from people and paying no nevermind, the silence is a little odd. Otherwise, it’s just like smoke in the air; you can’t see it, but you can smell it. (‘Who farted?’)
Apparently, most people do not experience this; no wonder they run around like maniacs all the time, blundering into people and losing the plot (or more accurately, never finding the plot in the first place). On the other hand, most people are fairly dull, so it’s not like you’re missing anything.

[‘Hi, V! Enjoying the view?’]
michelle – both parents Saturn-ruled so interesting angle there. 🙂
(I love babies and pregnant women!) 🙂
Well I’ll be keeping this in mind….
I’m due around Nov. 15th so I just might end up with a little Scorpion.
It’ll be interesting since he/she has a Capricorn for a dad and an Aquarian Mom.
I’m a scorpio. Most descriptions of scorpio’s personal trait correctly describe mine. I have deep sense of intution, but no one can read my mind, let alone my real motives.
I don’t think it’s mind reading or “peering into someone else’s brain” per se. I think some people are just better at observation and uncovering hidden motivations than others.
An example: I walked up to my coworker once and asked her if she was pregnant. She was – in the very early weeks — and she was also astonished that I knew. “Are you a witch?”
Well, no. But her face had changed. Her eyes were heavy and she just looked worn down and somewhat bloated – and had looked that way for a couple of weeks. She could have easily been PMSing but The Look wasn’t going away.
You can observe lots of things. Body language. Eye contact. Blushes. Facial expression. You can compare the way that these vary depending on who’s being addressed/spoken to.
I don’t know. I guess there are varying levels at which someone can intuit something. Some people wouldn’t know “something is wrong” unless you hit them over the head with a brick. You could be crying sitting right next to them.
It’s all about observation, I think, and the willingness to be focused on other people, and the desire to fit all the clues together like a puzzle and examine the reasons for the behavior.
The only sign that can beat a Scorpio at their game is a Pisces.
“The only sign that can beat a Scorpio at their game is a Pisces.”
Disagree with that. Anyone can beat Scorpio at their game once they know how.
Compassion trumps always.
Easy for the 8th houser to say! 😉
Max, if you’re still there, your dream was fascinating. I’ve always been bummed that I couldn’t experience this life through any other skin but my own (which is why I read a lot). If I could direct my dreams, though… hmm. Did you do this?
On this topic, too, have a stellium in scorpio with pisces sun and pisces rising. I take for granted what has been written here… interesting. A few years ago, I was in a class with a co-worker where we were to choose a working group to be in for the remainder of the year after a small social gathering. My co-worker tried to get me to join his group, and was miffed when I didn’t. I had pinpointed each of the people in that group in a negative way for work, and took it for granted that he could see that too. I turned out to be right later in my details, and he treated me like I was a psychic. I just picked up on the obvious. He really regretted it too, because he had to do ALL of the work out of a group of six.
Point of clarification… Scorpios don’t read minds, we have no interest in what goes on there. We read hearts and only because we need trustworthy information.
To us it’s all about establishing a pure connection and the heart doesn’t lie. The motive isn’t to manipulate, but rather to integrate.
There can be a lot of shadow on that.
