Lots of Scorpio = Intimidating/Unapproachable??

This topic was created in the Scorpio forum by cappy129 on Thursday, June 27, 2013 and has 9 replies.
Hello. I'm an 18 year old female, Capricorn Sun. I've noticed that people often stare but I'm rarely approached by others. I have a Scorpio ascendant as well as moon, venus, and pluto in Scorpio. They are all conjunct. I also have the Mars Square Pluto aspect. Has anybody else with prominent Scorpio placements sensed intimidation in others?

I often scare people at work.


Lol by your actions or your presence? What are your placements?
hello, I am also new to this forum and have a Scorpio ascendant.
I like to think of Pluto this way:
imagine a door to your soul. maybe it is wide and open, with bright colored flowers around it.
nestled quietly in the shade, every flower fills the air with fragrance.
but when Pluto rules the chart, others don't often see the flowers draping your doorstep.
they see a tall, gated fence around you and don't know how to get in.

in your mind you say: "I am totally approachable, friendly. I would love to meet someone, anyone to talk to--"
but others don't necessarily see that.
they see composure. they see distance.
they feel a barrier or strong energy surrounding you, a sense of "look but don't touch, I'm fine where I am."
and there is an odd, sexual undercurrent that always seems to linger, even if they are the same sex,
& even when you feel unattractive and don't want to be seen.
you wonder, "what is wrong with me?"
you feel lonely. and being so-Scorpio, you over-analyze
and dissect
& pick yourself apart.
you pick others apart, too.
some find a strong dislike of you... even when they don't know you. & you sense this, too, don't you.
most often there is interest, but Pluto traps people in this way.
it's like passing sight of a scorpion in the sand, tail raised-- hypnotizing!
but no one dares approach, even if they want to.
they say the ascendant is "the mask," or "persona" of you.
and-- yes, it is quite easy to feel like the "outsider" in the world.
but nothing is wrong with you, & the important people in your life will come into it when they are meant to.
you should be proud of your mask
and the strength & precision Pluto has given you.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. This is exactly how I feel. I knew the scorpio ascendant conjunct Pluto in the 1st would be intimidating, but I always thought the Venus and Jupiter conjunct ascendant would soften the hard appearance a bit? It doesn't seem like it though because people never approach me. It's kind of funny but a bit sad.

i intimidate men a lot ~~ i wonder if it is the aries rising more which is quite quick and direct
i go places on my own and do lots of stuff on my own by choice ~ my dad was a very masculine Aries male and i am genetically like him. i have no time for being dependent on others for money or anything else. i see women who cant move without a man
physically i look very feminine....long reddish hair and big breasts and i even dress very womanly Big Grin but i have that *dont approach me vibe* i guess

Hmm, this is interesting. I had always thought that Aries and Scorpio women were the most intimidating. However, i've noticed that most of my Aries friends are really flirty and guys love it and flock to them because they're so open. I also dress very womanly and i'm extremely feminine as well as very independent. I used to think that guys just didn't like me, then some of my guy friends told me that guys feel like they would have to be on their "A game" to approach me. Maybe Scorpio influence just causes us to have an unapproachable appearance.
I think it does, yes.
both a blessing and a curse, perhaps.
I even find myself a little intimidated by others of Scorpio-influence. smile of course, most of them are Scorpio suns.

HaHa! I am Leo Sun/Aries Moon and nothing but fire in my personal placement but one. Not to mention I am just under 6'2 and large breasted. As I a woman I don't know if I give off the vibe of no bullshit and and well NEVER be the lesser or controlled that I either scare the crap out of men or totally turn them on. Funny, never had a Cap approach me. smile I don't get those women who are clingy and need a man in their lives. My Aqua mom is like that. LoL I am not a man brasher at all, just very independent.
