Heaven Star
Having lived with a scorpio and being a fire sign there's a difference in the energy (for want of a better term), she was more outpsoken in relation to (9 times out of 10) emotional things (ex's/lovers/parents/friends etc.) whereas fire signs I think are just generally energetic about everything and it just happens to be when they get angry/determined/aroused (times when you're likely to notice the scorp intensity) it is expressed there too.
For the record - emotional does not equal passive. Ever. Think about it, you have strong emotions you're unlikely to be passive about them or anything related to them. I've even seen aggressive cancers! It usually takes quite a bit but they've got an aggressive streak (if you really want to try I'd suggest taking a dig at their family or that teddy bear they've had since they were born
sweatdrop )
Long story short - scorpios are without a doubt, absoutely a water sign. Those emotions run so deep I get scared just thinking about it! Honestly if you compare Aries to Scorpio you've got two whole different types of intensity/energy there
biggrin As to the aquarian thing - sometimes you've got to wonder if aquarians even have emotions or if they do it's not usually openly expressed...not really a water thing...
And finally the sagg thing - I really don't think they're air signs. They lack the tact to be, technically, good communicators and, seriously, have you met a saggitarius??? They think but...not like air signs, once again it's a different energy.
I'm gonna have to agree with Star on this one.
My mum is a Scropio, and I have quite a few placements in my chart with Scropio, and it really isn't the same.
In my experiance, when someone hurts them emotionally, that's when they get all evil.
Aires can get really mad, really fast. And so I'll agree that there is both a large amount of passion in both of the signs....but it isn't the same.
I can't really explain it...it's just the way they work I suppose.
Also, Aquarius is mostly about thinking origanal, and while I might agree that Piceas also is noted for that...it's the same concept..it's not the same.
All of the water signs are said to be kinda loners sometimes...which is something Aquarius (mostly) can't live with. They LOVE being around other people, and getting attention. They usually don't get too emotional (guys especially) and tend to be...uh...a bit different sometimes, which would probably make them pretty uncapatable with Cancer, which must I remind is another water sign.
And considering the signs of the same element are supposed to get along...I don't think that would go too well.
Really, I think the zodiac is okay as it is, and I don't really see what the point is in changing it now when it's been this way for a while now.
