Let’s face it, Scorpio isn’t the most popular of signs. In fact, it’s largely misunderstood and so therefore many of its symbolic meanings are inappropriately fear-based. However, it is ridiculous to look at things without the perspective that everything is interconnected and somehow serves its rightful place. Yet, like most creatures of the darkest night, the Scorpio’s supernaturally heightened sensitivity to its surroundings – intuition, subconscious and “night-vision” – all abilities to see through illusion or ambiguity and to dive straight to the truth of matters tends to put many on edge.With the death of Prince, I am now objectively able to come to terms with how much this artist influenced the zeitgeist of the 80’s & 90′ and also appreciate his mastery and power as a true wizard and alchemist of human culture.
Interestingly, during Pluto’s transit through Scorpio (1983-1995) it was primarily Prince as an artist who pressed to expose and to exemplify a whole new genre. The poster child for Generation Y, Prince used provocatively intense, yet often ambivalently sexualised artistic/mystical themes to penetrate mainstream culture and show us its carnal underbelly. His immense talent was applied to slowly force conventional society out of its sexual puritanism and to transition away from its prudish fears and taboos around sex, sexuality and gender roles. Prince’s dark, provocatively intimate themes in his song, his tantalisingly brooding manner, androgynously sexual style and an image which shed a thousand flamboyant skins, effortlessly challenged and twisted much of the status quo notions of the day.
What we will eventually come to see with Prince (or any scorpionic types), if we bother to look, is how he managed to smash through the perception of the collective dream and expose us all to a deeper aspect of our desire nature. Without passing moral or artistic judgement on his style or manner, we will agree that his effect on transforming us all out of a predisposed innocence and into a greater self-wisdom is undeniable, a necessary and vital push towards our evolution for ultimate truth.
Just a fond reflection (without too much eulogising) for the artist, formerly known as Ƭ̵̬̊..
May he forever reign in purple peace and princely paisley.

Hey Ang? Never have I read what I feel is precision accuracy of vision & a fantastically honoured soul such as the unmentionable one, bless, … I’m feeling the pressure rise atmospherically from the lack of presence that is truly more now than the earlier,…& THAT is saying something. The immense impression has most def been made & will carry on n on n on n on n on n on n on n on n on n on n on n on n Ƭ̵̬̊.
Hi Ang
Here I am thinking my husband is just a nearly negative Scorpio who only sees the bad in everything
After reading this I realize its just as you said scorps are obsessed with people’s true agendas and peoples true motives
Food for thought
Wow, I am just seeing this article in 2021.
Prince was a powerful spirit. I still miss him and his wizardry.
