THE MIDPOINT FOR CAPRICORN AND VIRGO FALLS ON THE SOUTH SCALE: IT CAUSES MALEVOLENCE, OBSTRUCTION, AN UNFORGIVING CHARACTER, VIOLENCE, DISEASE, LYING, CRIME, DISGRACE, AND DANGER OF POISON. IT IS WELL TO REMEMBER HERE THE ASSOCIATION OF THIS STAR WITH A SCORPION'S CLAW, USED FOR MAKING LOVE AS WELL AS FOR SLAYING ITS PREY. IT DOES NOT LET GO UNTIL ONE OR OTHER MATTER IS COMPLETE AND ONLOOKERS ARE NOT SURE WHICH OF THE TWO ACTS ARE IN PROCESS. SOMETIMES EVEN THE SCORPION SEEMS TO GET IT WRONG ALONG THE WAY! IT FREQUENTLY SHOWS UP ILL-ASPECTED IN MANY UNFORTUNATE SITUATIONS, FROM DOMESTIC STRIFE AND MISCARRIAGES OF JUSTICE TO PSYCHOPATHIC KILLINGS THAT STARTED OUT IN THE GUISE OF LOVE.
