It's my birthday, time yet again to round up all my fellow Scorpios so we can mill about and generally point out why we are better than the rest of you.

Sorry imperial you're right, wrong link....

Hopefully that one is OK!!

My rising sign is Libra.

All my other planets are in Scorpio too, bar the ones that can't possibly be (like the outer ones where they remain in a sign for 100s of years)

I may have been slightly obsessed with this sort of thing back in the day

NuggetofPurestGreen · 12/11/2015 13:08

Virgo rising. The description on that link is scarily accurate even though I don't believe in any of this

ThenLaterWhenItGotDark · 12/11/2015 13:08

I will dig out my Plain Truth Zodiac later, so funny, though us Scorpios are apparently all so vile we will get murdered.

Bonywasawarriorwayayix · 12/11/2015 13:11

Yay us! Scorpios are so brilliant that DS decided to arrive 14 days overdue so he could be one too Grin

FattyNinjaOwl · 12/11/2015 13:11

Just done that for my end of October Scorpio DS. He is Gemini rising.

With this Ascendant, you come across as nervous, expressive, lively, adaptable, with a good sense of humour, bubbling, playful, sociable, clever, whimsical, independent, intellectual, flexible, ingenious, fanciful, imaginative, charming, cerebral, and you are into everything. You may also be capricious, unfocused, quirky, superficial, indiscreet, opportunist, unmindful, selfish, sarcastic or mercurial.

This pretty much sums him up.

My dd was born two weeks ago today on the 29th, she was nine days late and i was over joyed she made it well into Scorpio territory!

Her original due date was the 19th- making her a Libra which I was hoping to avoid as mil is a Libra and we really don't get on, she's the opposite of me, I'm an Aries!

silverstreak · 12/11/2015 13:21

It's cool isn't it?! I really think there's some truth in it... I know the cynics are all like "oh yeah, every person on the planet is one of twelve personalities, reeeally likely..." But with the addition of a rising sign and then accounting for the variable of nurture, why not? Personalities are kind of like our spirits aren't they and spirits can't exactly be defined or explained very well by an exact science.... We're all affected by the energy of the universe, man....

Ollie check out DDs (&mils!) rising sign, there may be hope!! Wink

HaydeeofMonteCristo · 12/11/2015 13:26

Hi fellow Scorpios!

Of course we are the best. I am a Scorpio and so is DD - we totally rock.

My dh is Aries worra and our "best friend" couple (so to speak, we're not in school obviously) are a Scorpio/Aries combination. It's an interesting one, to be sure.

Brian - C, of course. Anyone who says otherwise is only pretending to be a Scorpio.

Another Scorpio question - what is your favourite book?

Mine are: The Count of Monte Cristo (top Scorpio choice, as it has revenge and grimness in it), 1984, Brave New World, The Handmaid's Tale and Wuthering Heights. Oh and Papillon (a Scorpio himself).

HaydeeofMonteCristo · 12/11/2015 13:28

have just found out that I am Gemini rising too.

HaydeeofMonteCristo · 12/11/2015 13:31

GLUING LEGO! You monster Hawkeye!

AnyoneFucoffee · 12/11/2015 13:34

Scorpio here
Taurus DH
Leo DS
Aries DD

Our house is a barrel of laughs sometimes Grin

AnyoneFucoffee · 12/11/2015 13:36

ALemonyPea we're birthday twins :)

Wilding · 12/11/2015 13:39

November Scorpio here! My DM and DSis are too.

We are the best star sign by far Grin

Bettercallsaul1 · 12/11/2015 13:40

No, you are not at all unreasonable and absolutely correct in all you say! (needless to say, fellow Scorpio speaking Grin)

badtime · 12/11/2015 13:45

No no no!

The rising sign is only part of the story. You need to find out all the planets etc. Put your details in here, and gaze in wonder at all the new astrology!

I'm mostly Scorpio, but my moon is in Taurus and Leo rising.

And whoever said Scorpio are Gryffindor, just no. Those little goody-goody show-offs are obviously Leo; Hufflepuff is obviously Taurus, which suggests that JKR was using the classic 'fixed sign' symbolism.

Ravenclaw are obviously a water sign, which would make them Aquarius (although IMO they seem more Libra) which means that Scorpio is Slytherin.

(Please note, I don't really believe in all this, but I used to be really into it so know quite a lot about it. However, I do think the signs, elements and modes are an interesting way of looking at personality types).

ALemonyPea · 12/11/2015 13:53

Coffee, we have the double joy of a Friday the 13 birthday this year Smile

ThenLaterWhenItGotDark · 12/11/2015 13:54

Aquarius isn't a water sign!

Pipestheghost · 12/11/2015 13:56

A sting in the tail? You bet ya!
WineCake to all of us Smile

Pleurepaslabouchepleine · 12/11/2015 13:56

Mine is tomorrow too !!!!!

INeedSomeHelp · 12/11/2015 13:59

Another Scorpio signing in - birthday was on 4th

scarfaceace · 12/11/2015 14:00

Ah, fellow Scorpios! We ARE the coolest sign ever - any other sign that wants to argue must surely know they can't ever win (we know that they are jealous Envy) and we will remember forever that they doubted us and will get them back two-fold when they are least expecting it! There you have it! Grin

badtime · 12/11/2015 14:03

Doh, I meant air.
