Scorpios - Masters of Reason and Emotion?
This topic was created in the Scorpio forum by in_the_phoenix_wake on Wednesday, March 15, 2006 and has 13 replies.
Astrologers often point that scorpios are masters of reason and emotion. In other words, scorpios are said to have a natural aptitude for reason, to the point of being something of a logic whiz. But scorpios are also said to have a natural aptitude for intuition and empathy, to the point of being something of a psychic. Astrologers also usually point out that this is another example of our dual/contradictory nature, because reason is supposed to be contradictory to emotion and intution. But are these really contradictory? Can a scorpio be a master of both at the same time? Opinions or experiences?

Hmmm reason?? Maybe. I always think Scorpios to be way too passionate to be as reasonable as some other signs are, naturally.
Someone's in my wake?

No, well depends... WHAT are you reasoning? Emotion can't be reasoned. Don't you have to suppress your emotions when you're trying to reason? Eventually too much reasoning can be dangerous... blows reason right to hell lol
Sometimes im considered "too cold" because I reason logically too much over the emotional stuff although I can know exactly how it feels for someone to be in whatever situation but still may say a "get over it" in short to them.Kinda a look forward not back here or right now type thinking is usually what makes me not get buried with emotional stuff,I have aloftness tendancies though...which is supposed to be air sign stuff but I only have libra in pluto for my charts for air signs.
Some of you are limiting your understanding of emotion. When astrologers talk about emotion in relation to this sign they don't always just mean the capacity to feel. They're also referring to the capacity to intuit and empathize. Reason and emotion are both pathways to knowledge in this sense.
Both reason and emotion factor into any number of decisions the average person makes each day, and in a complimentary way. The synergy between them is especially evident in decisions of incomplete information. Take poker for example. The fun of poker is that you can't be empirically sure what cards your opponent has. The best poker players might use reason to calculate odds and probabilities based on the empirical evidence available to them, but they use intution and empathy to fill in the missing pieces based on information that is non-empirical.
Say my opponent bets into me, and he's holding 3 different cards face up, with 1 card hidden. If I have two pair, calling or raising his bet is an easy decision. I can reason from the empirical evidence available to me that the best possible hand my opponent would have is a single pair. I've got him beat.
Fortunately poker is almost never that straightforward. Say my opponent has a queen, a jack, and a nine showing, all of different suits, with 1 card hidden. If I have a pair of 10's, reason isn't enough to make the right decision. If my opponent has a jack or a queen hidden, he has me beat with his higher pair, and I should fold. If he has any other card hidden, then I have him beat, and I can call or raise. In making the right decision, I'll have to take into account the empirical data from previous hands, sure, but I'll also have to "feel him out," i.e. try to intuit what he might have or else try to empathize with his emotional state to sense whether he's strong or weak in this particular situation.
For those of you who didn't know, scorpios make phenomenal poker players : )
What some people forget is that life is always a game of incomplete information. Some of the cards are always hidden. Somewhere out there is an x-factor. Even the most relgiously rational of quantam phsyicists will tell you that at the most basic levels of reality as we know them, there is no certainty. The empirical information available to us is always, always, always incomplete.
Scorpios generally have keen, rational minds. But when a balanced scorpio is said to "just know," or when that scorpio is said to act "without regard to consquences" it's because he's seeing more than the eye can see.
It's because she's listening to more than the ear can hear.
Scorpio, more than anything else, is the master sign of insight and knowledge. To say that scorpios are the masters of emotion and reason is merely to say the same thing in different words.

It's because of your moon sign.
I'm kidding, shcoe : )
But I have noticed that when people claim to be truely awful at something, usually somewhere in their childhood was an authority figure who told them they were truely awful at doing that thing... and then the belief just became self-reinforcing. Anyone like that in your past?
