Constellation Scorpius/ Scorpio
Orion, Apollo, Diana and Antares
In the great Zodiac belt in the sky, Scorpio sits opposite the constellation Orion, the great hunter, which lies between Taurus & Gemini.There are a couple of versions of the story of the demise of Orion. One points to the Scorpion, punishing him for his boastfulness of being "able to defeat any opponent". Another version says it was Apollo that sent the Scorpion to protect the chastity of his sister Artemis (Diana). Yet another version says it was still Apollo, but the motive was jealousy- Artemis and Orion were good friends, and brother Apollo was very posessive of his twin sister.
Either way, the Scorpion was set about as far away in the sky as it could be from Orion to prevent further conflict.
Antares: Heart of the Scorpion
Antares (Alpha Scorpii), a Red SuperGiant is the most visible star in this constellation, marking the heart of the Scorpion. The name comes from Greek for "against Ares(Mars)" because of its magnitude (brightness) and reddish color. Interestingly enough Scorpio's ancient and modern Vedic ruling planet is Mars (god of war), which is also the ruling planet of Aries. Both Aries and Scorpio are known for fiercely combative or competetive behavior.

Pluto: Lord of the Underworld
Glyphs for Pluto- Planet & Sign
The modern, Western Astrology ruler of Scorpio is Pluto, discovered in 1930 by American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh. (Mars is the Ancient/ Vedic ruler, also the ruling planet of Aries, but, hey why share a planet when you can have your own?)Pluto (Greek= Hades), is lord of the Underworld and wealth (plutocrat, plutocracy). He rules the land of the dead, buried treasure and taxes. Once you were in Hades (also the name of the place for the Dead & lost souls), there was no going back. Only Mercury, the messenger, had a "Get out of Hades free" card. Pluto and Scorpio both require that we release an old form, experience a "death" of some form. In return you get something far greater than what you had before. This sure beats the alternative: a life gone necrotic and rotting from the inside out. Release the need for control and you gain new abilities, a new range of freedom and a new life. It's all about transformation. You are still you, and yet you are completely different...renewed.
There are at least three glyphs or symbols widely used for Pluto. (A man of many sides!)
Astronomy
One comes from the initials for Percival Lowell, who first theorized Pluto's existence. This is the only symbal used in astronomy.
Astrology
The other two are used in astrology. There is an American version and a European version. These two symbols are used only in astology, but astrologers will sometimes use the Percival Lowell glyph too.

Your Planet: Pluto
Picture: Pluto & Charon, courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech
All right, Scorpie, your planet has taken some hard knocks this year.
A small group of Yahoos over at the IAU have really mucked it up! Heck, if we can't even decide on a universal glyph, how can we agree on a definition? In this lens we will stick with "planet" because we are talking Astrology, and because I have a soft-spot in my heart for fellow Kansan Clyde Tombaugh, Astronomer and discoverer of Pluto. All I can say is thank goodness he passed on before all this whole hullabaloo!
It's so bad a new derrogative has sprung from the issue: "Plutoed" - to "pluto" is downgrade, demote or remove someone or something from a prestigious standing. Don't worry, Scorp-o, this is just a small phase in a larger cycle. You know who you are, and that is all that matters.
The problem is that, like you, Pluto is complex, mysterious and (sometimes) distant (but he likes to keep his partner close! Read on about Charon.). He is reluctant to reveal his secrets (if he ever does).
Just in the last year the Plutonian mini-system was discovered to have 2 small sattelites or moons!
His original "moon", Charon, is more of a partner in a binary plantary system. The two actually revolve around a focal point OUTSIDE of Pluto, centered somewhere between the two bodies.
The slowest, most distant and smallest of the planets, Pluto takes about 240 Earth years to come full circle around the Sun. (Though for a short stretch he does slip inside of Neptune's orbit.) It's safe to say, most of us will not live to see our own "Pluto return".

"Cuspie Crichton"
This is the day the Sun makes its move from Libra into Scorpio. People born on these days, or more specifically at zero degrees of a sign are commonly referred to as "Cusps".
That makes it a little trickier to find folks that actually are true Scorpio on that day. One must have the exact time of birth to make that deterimination.
Planets in Scorpio:
Sun - and BARELY there at under 00 degrees, 09 minutes. A whole bunch of stuff in Libra. Though he may frequently come off more more like the Scales of Justice, he is really a Scorpion on the Soul level. One look at his titles will reveal his Scorpionic self.
Quotes:
"It's not easy to cut through a human head with a hacksaw."
"We all live every day in virtual environments, defined by our ideas."
"Readers probably haven't heard much about it yet, but they will. Quantum technology turns ordinary reality upside down."

"It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child"
"Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children."

Georgia O'Keeffe: The Poetry of Things
By Robin Black Miller (Los Angeles, CA USA) -
This is the companion catalog to the O'Keeffe exhibition at the Phillips gallery in Washington, DC, and is a wonderful volume on O'Keeffe whether or not you were fortunate enough to see this exhibition. What impressed me most about the exhibition (and the book) is how intelligently it was put together. It examines O'Keeffe's development as an artist by tracking both her philosphy and her influences, and some rarely shown works were chosen to represent this in the exhibition (and are reproduced in the book). Of all the books on O'Keeffe that I've read, and of all the exhibitions I've seen of her work, this one by far does the best job of explaining both the artist and her work.

Music & Film by Bjork
Vespertine
Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Ever since Björk's vital, effusive 1993 debut, her music has been increasingly intimate, gently private, and concerned with seclusion. It's typical then that Vespertine's first single is called "Hidden Place." The studious solitude is rewarding, though. Vespertine is a lush, gorgeous swell of midpace electronica, symphonic strings, and Björk's uniquely alien, spectral vocals. There are fantastical wonders here..."--Ian Gittins

"Where to begin with such a musical treat such as this? Describing how much I adore this nifty little arrangement is near impossible because my love for Bjork blinds it so much. It was a few days after Christmas in 2003 when I saw Bjork's debut album "Debut" for sale and bought it on the off-chance that I would like it. Little did I know that I was about to embark on the most profoundly amazing musical experience of my life..."

Selmasongs: Dancer In The Dark (2000 Film)
Amazon.com's Best of 2000
Inspired by the film Dancer in the Dark's Broadwayesque emotional sweep, Björk stretches herself with orchestral mood swings and a darker, more experimental palette. The result is the most difficult record she's made since her Sugarcubes days, but a few listens reveal the thrilling heart of a truly multifaceted and immensely brave composer. --Matthew Cooke

Secret Love, or Silent Treatment?
All or Nothing.
All right, Scorpie, I'm about to reveal one of your DEEPEST SECRETS here because I have X-ray vision into your soul AND it is GOOD FOR YOU that others know this about you: You're the "All or Nothing" type when it comes to about everything, but especially LOVE.You hold it all back until you know it is completely safe (or you just feel you may explode because you are ripe for a transformative experience) and then you "entereth with all abandon".
Now, I know you're the private type, but I see the numbers and ya'll are coming by in DROVES. This is one of my busiest lenses---and yet NO ONE has taken the time to show a little LOVE for this Lens in the Stars at the top to let ALL of Squidoo-Land know how sweet and wonderful you all really are, and what a great spot this is! I keep coming back and spiffing up your lens for you and do see a few have rated in the poll below, but that is it. Have I not made you feel safe and loved here? Ouch. You're breakin' my heart.
Ok, so maybe you don't want your "Secret Garden" getting too crowded, or too many folks having the inside scoop but, ya know, I could've started with Aries, just like everyone else does since it IS the first sign in the Zodiac after all. Instead I chose to start with you, dear Scorpio. --thought I'd start somewhere else, give those Rams an attitude check AND make YOU feel special. I do adore you Scorpie, and hope that you'd show just a little love too. It's a small gesture, a simple click of the mouse, but it means so much.
Our love here need not be a secret but, if it makes you feel better, we can use fake names and pretend to be "casual acquaintences" out in public.
Thanks, Loves!

Take Control of Your Universe
Amazingly functional Keyboards named for your Constellation - Scorpius!
Well, or at least your PC/ MAC or Media Center. Great wireless long-range keyboards eliminate the need for a clumsy satellite called a mouse with a built in trackball or joystick -
take your pick!
I love mine!
Be sure to get your AAA batteries. (Keyboard requires 2)
Yes, 1 set of batteries are included, but who knows what kind of condition they're in?
Rechargeable NIMH batteries are the way to go: extra long life and it stops the cycle of waste! You'll always have freshly charged batteries on hand - no more guessing about those loose cells that have been lying about in some drawer for who knows how long that can't be recharged. Save money and prevent waste!

Ione Scorpius N2T USB Keyboard 2.4GHZ Mce Trackball
LOOE THAT MOUSE! Put some DISTANCE between you and that MONITOR - This has a BUILT IN TRACKBALL plus 10-key (a MUST for me!) and you can sit as far as 30 feet away from the USB dongle plugged into your PC/ MAC or Entertainment Center. Tons of hotkeys too!
I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD! I use it with BOTH the DESKTOP and LAPTOP units! USB Dongle means no extra cord clutter. This small slimline keyboard will slip right into the case with your 17" Laptop. Requires 3 AAA batteries. Excellent usage sensor power saving feature extends battery life.
Amazon Price: (as of 11/10/2009)
Wireless Ione Scorpius P20 Keyboard 2.4GHZ 30FT Joystick
GAMERS PARADISE! Like the one above (P20) no 10-key here, and the trackball is replaced with a small joystick.

Amazon Price: $12.99 (as of 11/10/2009)
Ultra Products 6AAA NiMh Rechargable Battery ULT31791

Here they all in alphabetical order!
Some birth times are unknown, so the charts will be cast (set) for noon that day. For the most part planets will pretty much work out the same, except for possibly the Moon which moves very quicky, changing signs about every 2 1/2 days. The Ascendant (ASC or Rising sign) will be unknown as are the Houses.
Most of these are thanks to astrotheme.fr, a wonderful French site.
Be aware a few glyhps (symbols) look a little different in the European style: Neptune looks like a rounded Trident with a small circle below, and Pluto looks like a crescent moon cup over a small upside-down Venus glyph.
The Gemini glyph will look like some kind of Celtic knot design.
I will note which charts are in the European style.
