Scorpions | Lady

But in her light aspect, the Lady Scorpion is a force for necessary, even sacred, destruction. She tears down what is rotten to make way for the new. She stings not for pleasure, but for liberation—her own or others’. To know a Lady Scorpion is to know that she has chosen not to use her power against you. That choice is a gift. Cross her, and you will learn why, in so many traditions, the scorpion is both a symbol of death and a symbol of profound, painful rebirth.
