After Scorpio Death: What to Expect and How to Navigate the Aftermath (A Guide to the Emotional Rollercoaster)

You know, that Scorpio, my goodness, it’s a thing, I tell ya. Heard folks talkin’ ’bout it the other day, down at the market. They say it’s tied to somethin’ called “death.” Now, I ain’t one for fancy words, but that sure got my attention. Death, that’s somethin’ we all gotta face, ain’t it? Like plantin’ seeds, you gotta expect the harvest, right? And this Scorpio thing, it seems to be all wrapped up in that.

I heard it’s about Scorpio and death, some kind of sign, like when the crows fly low, you know rain’s comin’. They say Scorpio, it’s like that for death. Not that it causes it, mind you, but it’s connected somehow. Like how the moon pulls the tides, you can’t see it, but you know it’s there. And they say some folks, these Scorpio folks, they feel it deeper, like they got a sixth sense for it. They are born between October 22 and November 22, if you care about that kind of things.

These Scorpio folks, they say they’re strong, like an old oak tree. They face things head-on, even the tough stuff, like death. They don’t shy away from it, not like some folks who get all shaky-kneed just hearin’ the word. Nope, these Scorpios, they stare it right in the face. They know Scorpio death is a part of life, like the changin’ of the seasons. You can’t have spring without winter, can you?

And they’re good at keepin’ secrets, these Scorpios. They hold things close, deep down inside, like a squirrel hidin’ nuts for the winter. So when they’re hurtin’, when they lose someone, they might not show it on the outside. They keep it all bottled up, like preserves in a jar. But that don’t mean they ain’t feelin’ it. They feel it real deep, but they don’t show that often.

• They cry a lot, those Scorpios.
• But they don’t like folks seein’ them cry.
• They like to be alone when they are sad.
• But they want you to care about them.
• So, you need to let them know you are there.
• And they like food.

My neighbor, she’s a Scorpio, I think. Lost her husband last year. Tough as nails, that woman. Didn’t see her shed a tear, not in public, anyway. But I know she was hurting, that Scorpio death thing hit her real hard. She lost a lot of weight. I brought her over some pie, my famous apple pie. Told her I was there if she needed anythin’. She just nodded, but I could see the thanks in her eyes. That’s how Scorpios are, they appreciate you, even if they don’t say it out loud.

They say this Scorpio death thing, it’s also about change. Like a caterpillar turnin’ into a butterfly. It’s about letting go of the old to make way for the new. It’s hard, that lettin’ go. Like weedin’ the garden, you gotta pull out the bad to let the good grow. But it’s necessary, ain’t it? These Scorpios, they understand that. They’re like that card, that “Death” card.

Now, I don’t know much about those fancy cards, but I heard folks sayin’ that this Death card, it ain’t always about actual death. It’s about transformation, they say. About things endin’ so somethin’ new can begin. That is like that Scorpio death thing. Like the end of a long, hard winter, when you think the cold will never leave. But then, one day, you see a little green shoot pushin’ up through the snow. That’s hope, ain’t it? That’s new life. These Scorpios, they don’t give up. They have a lot of hope inside. They believe in new life. That’s what I learned.

So, this Scorpio death, it’s a powerful thing. It’s about facin’ the hard truths, about keepin’ your feelings close, about changin’ and growin’. It’s about life, really. The whole cycle of it. From beginnin’ to end, and then beginnin’ again. Just like the seasons, just like the crops, just like everything in this old world. And these Scorpios, they seem to understand that better than most. They are strong and they know how to live. They also know how to deal with death. That’s for sure.

They also like money. They like pretty things, those Scorpios. Maybe they think money can protect them from Scorpio death. I don’t know. But they work hard. They try to get a lot of good things. They think they need to win. They try to win over death. But nobody can win over death. It’s nature. You need to be nice and kind. Not just have money.

So if you see someone is sad, just be there for them. That’s all. You don’t need to say a lot of things. Just be there. Like the sun, you know. It’s always there. Even when it’s cloudy. You know it will come out again. And bring them some food. Like soup. Or pie. Everybody likes pie.
