Hi Ami, I love this article. I’m a new member on the Mars in Scorpio page on Facebook and have Leo Sun, Moon and Venus.
You’re right, I love to be sweet and cuddly, happy and innocent with my mate. I ask her how I ”
perform ” only because the biggest turn on in the world is a woman who is sexually satisfied. I love to impress a lady, and treat her like a princess when in love.
But on the down side is when it all falls apart. It is very hard for me, as I’m sure it is for everyone, but I take loss particularly hard.
Recently my wife and I had some issues which lead to her leaving and I didn’t handle it well. It’s been almost 3 months and I would say 90% of the days have been a volatile explosion when we talk. Maybe that is more the Mars in Scorpio. Her Mars is Capricorn and Mercury in Pisces so we don’t communicate well.
When she made the decision to leave, it was the most hurtful thing to go through I remember the painful shock to my heart. She wanted space to work herself out and she regrets it to this day. I feel like she wants me back, she will always love me but when I ask if she wants to work on it or try, she always says no and that too much has happened. I tend to agree, but she is so fragile and innocent, I can’t help but want her too. She has no family, I was her everything and now we are apart, she feels like she has noone which breaks my heart.
I’m a bit lost myself.
Aww Welcome Dave! I am so glad you came on. I am so sorry to hear about your wife. You can post your synastry in my Forum if you want.
