So, the other day I was messing around with my birth chart, you know, just for kicks. I plugged in my birth time and place, and bam, there it was: Taurus Sun, Scorpio Rising. I was like, “Huh, interesting,” but didn’t really think much of it at first.
Then, I started digging a little deeper. I mean, I’m a Taurus, so I’m all about that stable, grounded energy. But Scorpio? That’s a whole different ball game. It’s intense, passionate, and a bit mysterious. At first, I was kind of confused. How do these two energies even work together?
I started reading up on it, just to see what the internet had to say. And let me tell you, it was a wild ride. Apparently, this combination is like having your feet firmly planted on the ground while your heart is soaring through the sky. I kind of like that. I can get behind that idea.
Then it started to get a bit more specific. They said folks with Scorpio rising tend to be pretty intense, emotionally. And relationships? Oh boy. It’s like we’re either all in or all out. No middle ground. They talked about us being drawn to partners who aren’t afraid to go deep. We crave that emotional connection, that vulnerability. And yeah, there was the whole thing about jealousy and possessiveness, but hey, no one’s perfect, right?
One thing that really caught my eye was this bit about career paths. They said we’d do well in research or medicine. And you know what? It kind of made sense. I do like to dig deep and figure things out. Maybe I missed my calling as a psychotherapist or something? Who knew! My analytical mind is always at work, I can see this being a good fit. I also like to help people, so maybe I would actually do great.
I kept going, and it just got more and more interesting. The more I read, the more I started to see these different parts of myself reflected in the descriptions. Like, I always thought I was just this laid-back Taurus, but maybe there’s more to me than meets the eye.

So, I decided to do a little experiment. I started paying more attention to how I react in different situations, how I handle my emotions, how I interact with people. It was like I was observing myself through this new lens. And you know what? I started to notice things. Like how I can be super chill one minute and then fiercely passionate about something the next. Or how I can be really stubborn about some things, but also super sensitive and intuitive in other ways.
It’s like I’m this walking contradiction, but in a good way. I’m starting to embrace it. I have many layers, like an onion! It’s a journey, for sure. But it’s been a pretty cool one so far. It is fun learning about myself. I plan on continuing this, it has been great! I am excited to see what else I discover about myself, it is almost like meeting a new me.
