♏Scorpio Rising

Scorpio rising gives little away. The manner tends to be still, contained, and watchful, with an intensity that others feel before they can locate its source. New situations are met by observing from a held position rather than by opening — the instinct is to understand the room thoroughly before revealing anything to it. This reads to some as magnetic and to others as guarded, and both readings are accurate. There is often a steadiness in the gaze that people remember, and a quality of not filling silences. The doorway is closed by default and does not open on schedule. What it offers, once it does, tends to be substantial, but the arrangement asks patience of everyone involved — including the person living behind it.
