it's more of a general description of the "type" of scorpio you are, are you ruled by your desires and lower nature (revenge, sexual, anger), or the next stage using your intensity and passion to benefit your fellow man, or are you someone who has totally transcended the difficult events in your life (hard to describe and even HARDER to get to lol) where the scorpio influence is in your chart is where you will express these issues. for example i have scorpio sun, ascendant, venus and neptune. the sun is in the twelfth house and venus and neptune are in the first. so the scorpio issues for me will play out through 1st house areas of body, personality, how others see me. scorpio is the sign of extremes and even as a young child i had wide swings in my weight as i fixed food for myself alot and one period i invented the sugar sandwich and got real chunky and also had periods where i has not much food and was real small.
