(1950)Joan Crawford in QUEEN BEE (1955)Katharine Hepburn in SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER (1959)Mary Astor in RETURN TO PEYTON PLACE (1961)Miriam Hopkins in THE CHASE (1965)For men:WW2, the war on Gaza, most other wars.... Stalin, Bibi, Mussolini, Castro, Hitler (not right-next-door "Libra Rising" suggested by some charts), Goering, Putin, Napolean, the list goes on and on for homicidal dictators. (Even Reagan & Thatcher, for godssake!)Not that all Scorpio Risings are evil, mind you. But it does seem to be the star, if the dark star, of the zodiac.Scorpio Risings are often great cooks, writers, directors, film stars, and often fly effortlessly to managerial positions (regardless of whether or not they even want them!). And the writers have the capacity to comment on the human condition more insightfully and articulately than anyone else (from Dickens to Orwell) -- but we shouldn't be shocked if, in practice, they wind up on the other side of the fence.But Scorpio Rising is sooooo manipulative, that it can border on sociopathy for many of them. And seeming warm and considerate is part of it.Which is why Scorpio Risings either get along great (the professional courtesy of sharks) or hate each other unrelentingly.On one hand, Scorpio Rising is terribly human -- but not always in good ways: the Knowledge of Good & Evil (that fruit in Eden) exists in all people (which distinguish people from God's other creatures) but shrewdly intelligent Scorpio Rising carries this knowledge more consciously than other people, thus allowing them to make the correct (or incorrect) moral choice more precisely.And let's just say they don't always make the right one.They can enhance the world with their gifts immeasurably, but they can also lay waste to nations.<img src="https://winstonchurchill.hillsdale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Berryman39-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />But it often takes a comparatively good one to expose a bad one (Christina versus Joan, for example).I once had an office job where I was targeted by a coven of Scorpio Risings -- clever and funny, all of them actually liked me (really, they did) in some strange fashion, but they were out to get me -- and to get me in a serious way. Only Jesus (and The Devil) knows what went into my personnel file. They were obsessed with me -- for whatever reason -- and turned me into the toilet of the building (with the worst gossip you can create about somebody) and they were out to get me fired (if not arrested). Projecting all of their sins onto me with an undiluted focus.As a non-Scorpio Rising myself, I was hapless to defend myself.I was told to take it as a compliment, but it involved very few compliments. (Even my "friends" there, knowing full well I was being targeted, turned on me fully).But it's important to note that the only reason I survived it at all was because of two supervisors and a legal department head -- all three of whom were also Scorpio Rising -- who did what they could, of their own volition, to protect me... It took Scorpio Risings (one of whom died in the process) to figure out how to combat other Scorpio Risings.<img src="https://enlightio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/scorpio-rising.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 579px" />"People respect the strong, and the strong have to win.
