Saturn cools what it touches. Saturn restricts what it touches, both by house and sign. Scorpio energy is that of base passions. Scorpio is a roaming tiger, proud, majestic and most especially, primal. One may be intellectual. One may be empathetic. However, if one is not primal, one will be driving with blinders. One will go off of the side of the road, as it is a road hazard to the functionality of life. Astrology is about balance. Life is about balance. That is, if you want to live it well.
