However, you will soon become an expert at dealing with these crises and you will discover an ability to attract other individuals who treasure your ability to face life honestly. In fact you're an excellent counsellor as you're insightful and not frightened of tackling the minefield of emotions which surround subjects such as death, sexuality and metaphysical experiences. Ironically while you demand soul bearing from others, there is a secretive side of yourself, which if violated can spark the scorpion in you.

Possibly the loss, or absence, of a strong male during your childhood meant that you were given too much freedom and lacked appropriate parental guidance. It's also possible that in your mind you feel that you were not given enough freedom. Given your need for individual freedom, you may have felt trapped. Either way, as an adult, you struggle to curb a tendency to lash out whenever someone else or circumstances appear to stop you getting or doing what you want. This can result in a feeling of being isolated or separated from loved ones or society. However, it's more likely that your own wilful nature is preventing you from achieving your goals in life.
