Do you also read through the descriptions of Scorpio Ascendants and don’t feel like they suit you at all? Do you feel like you are way too quiet and shy to be considered a Scorpio Ascendant? Read on to find out what you might be missing.
When I first discovered astrology and my birth chart at the end of 2017, something deep in my soul lit up. It felt like someone was peering through my window knowing me so incredibly well. How could the planetary constellations explain so much of how I functioned?
Today, it makes sense to me. In fact, I think it’s pretty naive to state that the planets around us don’t affect our personal life in any way – after all, we’re just tiny people living on a sphere and we’re surrounded by some much (!) bigger spheres. But coming from a „working class“ family, spirituality was never a household topic. I believed there was either christianity/religion or atheism – and I had to choose one of the two. Consequently, this exploration was my first impulse to go down the „rabbit hole,“ as they say.
However, there was one particular placement I never really identified with as of about a year ago – my Scorpio Ascendant. How was I mysterious??? Sexy??? I was quiet and shy, yes. But sexually magnetic? Provokingly intense? Quite ironically my path led me to shadow work. And the more I investigated my shadows, the more shockingly obvious it became:

The Scorpio Ascendant & Its Mystery
I have heard so much about this ascendant and to be completely honest, I was sceptical for a long time. A scorpio ascendant is supposed to be “intense”, “magnetic”, and, dare I say, even sexy! I have never viewed myself as intense, magnetic or sexy. But I continued to do more research ascendant and how they affect a person. I found out that your ascendant is not something that you are actually aware of. Your ascendant describes how you first react with the world and how the world perceives you. It’s similar to a romance in a cliché movie, the main character’s love interest acts and looks like a bad boy but is actually sweet and prefers to knit than drink. With this insightful information, I stopped thinking about who I am and more about who people think I am at a first meeting.
I noticed that people do look at me weird when they first meet me, like they don’t know what to make of me. This always confused me because I never thought there was anything out of the ordinary with me. I have also noticed that boys do seem to pay attention to me in a more, perhaps, affectionate way than other girls. It’s not that they like me or anything, sometimes they don’t even notice me that much, but when they do notice I seem to be interesting and mysterious.
I became more and more excited after these revelations and began to explore how I react to the world. I am very quiet at first and I do mean very quiet. I feel no great need to extend myself and say hello if I don’t know you personally. This is because I have to observe you for a time at first, which is terrifyingly scorpio. I observe my acquaintances for awhile and act slightly stand offish but not because I’m looking down on them. I’m trying to figure them out and their motives. After all, they must want something if they’re talking to a complete stranger like me right? (I never realized how naturally suspicious I was till this post….). I also admit to seeing life as a battlefield and repeatedly creating “strategies” in order to survive and win (Sounding really scorpionic at this point)
So um WOW. I just went from unconvinced to shock and amazement. I never really saw a connection between me and this ascendant but there are just so much similarities. But I am so glad that I took the time to investigate this because not only does it explain me but also what I can be. I shouldn’t be afraid to wear clothing that’s a little sexy, I’m a scorpio ascendant! It gives me this confidence and pride that I didn’t feel before and can’t explain. This is why I love astrology; it allows me to learn about myself, good and bad, and how I can make myself a better person.
My Scorpio Ascendant has always been there but it has been oppressed and suppressed. Starting to consciously discover this powerful aspect of me has been one of the most rewarding things of doing inner work. Ever. Maybe it is because I am a late bloomer, but this unfolding makes me really excited for ageing and discovering even more about my hidden sides. And maybe we Scorpio Ascendants are not shy but just REALLY observant after all?
What are your experiences with the Scorpio Ascendant? I would love to hear them!!
Lots of Love, Frauke ♥
Late bloomers are a Scorpio trait as well. Surprisingly Scorpio people are very ‚in their own head‘ and need someone who understands that side to pull them out of that mode from time to time. (USA)
