You are a very observant person, constantly paying attention to the subtleties of your surroundings. You have a special sensitivity that allows you to perceive the essences of people and things, and through this you are able to understand them better. This ability is based on your openness to the other, and as a result, you have a strong sense of the group. This makes you willing to sacrifice your own ego in order to do what is right, and you are also very loyal to the people you are close to. Sometimes you are perceived as unreliable or untrustworthy, due to your tendency to be opportunistic or to neglect your social obligations. However, this is only a superficial characteristic. The real reason for your behavior is psychological, and lies in the fact that you are always looking out for the well-being of the group. However, you sometimes lack self-assertiveness, which makes you difficult to deal with when you are faced with superficial decisions. Moreover, you have a very flexible mind, which is able to merge the different aspects of society into a cohesive whole. This makes you quite successful in social settings, and you enjoy friendships, partnerships, networks, and corporate liaisons. Your emotional health is deeply invested in a desire to be part of a community, and you often find yourself longing for a kindred spirit. Since you are aware of this, and your tactfulness allows you to navigate the waters of love with relative ease, you may be content to go from affair to affair without ever settling down. You are skilled at charming and being charmed, and you are especially adept at invoking feelings of pleasure and anticipation in others.

As a result of the influence of Scorpio rising, you have a powerful, forthright nature with a penchant for possessiveness, be it material, mental, or spiritual. Your own mind proceeds from a fairly skeptical, steadfast viewpoint, and though you oscillate between objectivity and subjectivity, you are curious and critical in a constructive way. You have the mental potential to be a gifted investigator and diagnostician. You also exert a strong attraction and can be quite charming, so you are bound to be a social success. You possess rigid and unilateral determination, a capacity for self-control, and the ability to face challenges with stubbornness and energy. You are sensual and sensitive, and love and lust will be vital to your destiny. Because you seek intense emotional experiences and your instincts sometimes control your feelings, your love life will not be bland or banal.
