Zodiac - Scorpio

Description

(2009) 9"x12" pencil, ink, watercolor, silver leaf, photographed and framed in Photoshop

Even though the star stone for Scorpio is sometimes designated as opal, I decided on something that would have more of a color impact and went with the dramatic black of onyx. The idea of opal still lingers in the shades of green of the page and in the waves that surround the central image. In the end I was surprised how "Slytherin" my Scorpio looked, but for the fixed water sign that's not too bad an association.

Personally I consider Scorpio my shadow sign: while the sun hung out in Leo for my birth chart, most other planets lurked around in Scorpio, including the moon.

*sigh*

I don't know how I missed this in your gallery.

It is always good to meet a Leo that has a good grasp of this sign. As a scorpion myself, I have found Leo to be one of the hardest signs to understand and be understood by.

In a way these strong signs are equal and opposite mirrors of one another. <3 I can see why it would feel especially like a shadow sign.

(I have the same situation with Aquarius; I have both a Scorpio stellium and an Aquarius stellium that really makes me feel like a closet Aqua much of the time.)
