Heavy karmic overload,
misunderstood and very old.
Condemned to stand the underworld,
accused, short fused in passionate hell.
Water murky dark and deep,
quick acid tongue at emotional peak.
Alone by choice but lonely still,
deepest longings that will not quell.
Destined rebirth in rings of fire,
evolving spirit climbs ever higher.
The sternest testing of the zodiac,
self destructs when under attack.
Sex and death in a steady diet,
born again out of ash of fire.

Scorpio is the most extreme testing of any of the twelves metal.And guess what? If you are young enogh to of never passed Scorpio's testing before.That what you're supposedly destined to become on your next go round. I'm close to the Libra cusp in Oct., so I understand that sign from memories and traits we share to a degree.Look out Wanda! But,if ya been a good lill' girl soul and already ran the heavy Scorp test ,you'll jump on to one you've not accoplished as yet instead.If your entering,let me know so I'll delete this,K?

LMAO I got SUCH a kick out of onerios' comment, because I know her well. She's a scorpio, and I kept reading this going "huh... sounds like her". LOL Great job with imagery and putting the sign out there without being obvious. You've definitely nailed it.

I'd risk a guess that you are one,or married to one maybe.

Wonderful!!!
An interesting write, Suseann, I am not even trying to guess at the mystery. Not any good at mythology though I do know some. This is beyond me.
You have let your imagination fly and come down with a load of beautiful imagery that is wonderfully versed. The spiritual undertone is exciting too.
Good luck in the contest.

WONDERFUL!
Yes we all do raise up and continue even as we had sunk very low at times.

hiding in consuming fire
That is one fire raising god, sounds of Zeus and Horus tied together, .....the sphinx is a reborn creature,
Thor is another legendary predator , I have to check that out..
great mystery here. -
Lemme guess this sign...
Hmmm...can we say SCORPIO much?
And the planet happens to be Pluto...well, Mars too if you take into account Greek lore and consensus. 
Nice work. -
Partly so,but not the sun sign.Close.

I thought of mars the planet and the god, seems like a late spring time here! And of course a March birthday. Nice suspense to all this!! Thanks for sharing!
