You may have noticed that there are many Web Rings and Cliques one the 'Net for various astrological signs but I have yet to find one truly suited to Scorpios.

Cyber Scorpios is intended to represent Scorpios in all their glory and diversity - dedicated to bringing together a large selection of weblogs (a.k.a. Blogs) and online journals that reflect that which is quintessentially Scorpio.

Have you ever wondered if other Scorpios share your interests? Your unique flair for design? Is there a Scorpio in your life that you long to understand better? Then this is the ring to surf!

Note: If people are truly interested in an active community/message board type thing, please let me know. I would be be happy to add forums, directories and such - in time, Cyber Scorpios could be more then just a Web Ring, it could be an interactive center for Scorpios on the Internet - but until I see a serious amount of interest I just don't have the time to dedicate to it. I welcome all thoughts and suggestions (pertinent to CyberScorpios) and am looking forward to watching this community grow. Thanks!

What makes Scorpios the unique, mysterious and often perverse creatures they are? I have no idea but below you'll find a brief overview to sate your curiosity.

Note: Someone was kind enough to point out to me that there may be some confusion over the listing of Opal as Scorpios gem stone. The birthstone for Scorpios born in November is indeed Topaz (though Citrine is commonly used) and, for those born in October, is Opal. The listing I have pertains not to the stone associated with a given month but rather to the stone associated directly with the sign, which is Opal - just as Autumn colors are associated with October/November but the colors associated directly with Scorpios are (most commonly) red and black. I hope that makes sense.

Scorpio is the eighth Sign of the Zodiac, and you shouldn't take that lightly. You shouldn't take Scorpios lightly, either. Those born under this Sign are dead serious in their mission to learn about others. There's no fluff or chatter for Scorpios, either: these folks will zero in on the essential questions, gleaning the secrets that lie within. Scorpios concern themselves with beginnings and endings, and are unafraid of either; they also travel in a world which is black and white and has little use for gray. The curiosity of Scorpios is immeasurable, which may be why they are such adept investigators. These folks love to probe and know how to get to the bottom of things. The fact that they have a keen sense of intuition certainly helps.

It's the Scorpion which symbolizes Scorpios, and it's no accident. Much like the Scorpion would rather kill itself than be killed, those born under this Sign are the ones who are in ultimate control of their destiny. It is life on the Scorpion's terms, too, since these folks promote their agenda (they are quite the executives) and see to it that things go forward. Others may find this overbearing (it can be) and even self-destructive, but that's the beauty of the Scorpion: these folks have tremendous regenerative powers, much like the literal Scorpion can lose its tail and promptly grow a new one. Fearless Scorpions rarely lose, per se, they just keep on going, since they are stubborn and determined to succeed (this Scorpio trait is in keeping with the Fixed Quality assigned to this Sign). Scorpios work as hard as they do so they can someday sit back and feel satisfied with themselves. These folks are intense, passionate and filled with desire. They're also complex and secretive, so don't expect to get much out of them, lest they become suspicious and exit stage left. It's best not to bet against Scorpios, either, since these folks are surprisingly resourceful.
