I have to agree with the stereotype that Scorpios love revenge. I fit just about every stereotype there is for a Scorpio male.
So I'm asking my fellow Scorpios, how do you calm those angry waters? It just really gets the best of me sometimes. I hate feeling that I have been slighted.
I do my best to use that energy in a positive way. I don't do anything violent or illegal. But I do get really angry over the smallest things.
Example, my bank wrongly charged me a fee and took 2 weeks to correct it. I was fuming about this. I do not like people messing with my money, no matter how small the error.
And today I am fuming about a neighbor who continues to let his dog crap in our backyard, even though he has been warned 2 times. It is a big dog and he is making a mess of our yard.
I feel that the neighbor is violating my right to choose what happens on my property. The logical thing is to just report him, but I keep thinking of ways to really make him sorry.
How do you calm yourself?

I agree with lilbitade. I am a scorp too and god , the thoughts of revenge i get, they make up about 50% of my fantasies.
But one day i read somewhere : when u reach the heart of hatred and revenge, u find nothing there.
And i learnt my lesson. Humility is one of the biggest lessons of life which the earlier u learn the better. From experiences also i have learnt that revenge looks good only in sidney sheldon novels. In reality if u bottle up so many revenge feelings, they r just going to harm ur health and beauty :-). I really have controlled my feelings to a large extent. U don't have to act God and avenge every injustice done to u. have faith in karma. Scorpio is such a passionate sign that when they put their energy to positive use, it can move mountains.
One thing that really tamed me: if i am really upset about something or someone and i am getting all sorts of third degree torture thoughts in my brain , i let them come but don't act on them . whatever i have to say or do i first wait for the next day by which time the thoughts have passed and i am able to think rationally again.
We are scorps, better than ordinary ppl, so don't expect too much out of others, learn to tolerate them. The best have to co-exist with the ordinary. so whatever they do, don't take it very seriously, it just does'nt suit us.

Being a Scorpio is wonderful, we're the creme de la creme of the zodiac. But with our emotions that go can go from one extreme to another in seconds, control is a must. I have taken to meditating on a regular basis. I have several cd's that I use to help relax me. You just have to take the time to calm down and go about releasing your emotions in a controlled manner. You could also try something like yoga. If all else fails, do what I did...buy a punching bag to use when you feel like your are going to lose control. Not only is it a good way to release anger safely, it's a good workout too!

I love to think about getting revenge but usually my planning gets me to cool off and I wind up letting it pass or I try some of those anger management ideas (like taking a walk... wound up a half mile from work one day to cool off). Usually just blowing up to the point I can't risk anymore, and that's it... But I've learned a lot more humility in the last few years and stuff that used to aggrivate me are less so now...
..and if don't pass, my idea of soothing records when I'm mad is usually the same that gets others to get angry.... Got to be stuff like rock groups Slipknot or harder (godsmack,hatebreed,etc.)
Unfortuneately or fortuneately... my cd collection has those cds just for the right times:-)

I think that I fit the stereotype of a Scorpio female.. And I have to tell you that I LOVE getting revenge. But it all depends on how far you are willing to go to get that. I'm vindictive but I'm not a psychopath or a stalker or anything that's even remotely dangerous. But I find that if i'm with someone that's not a Scorpio they tend to mellow me out. So if I even think about doing something that'll land me in jail, they snatch that thought right out of my head. So I guess that it's the people that you are out with. i tend to be the one that everyone has to chase down so I won't get into any trouble.

Just like yourself, I am a stereotypical Scorpio male. But my biggest thing is procrastination. I do have some temper problems. Is what I do do calm myself is, work. If I can take my mind off of my problems, then I'm alright for a while. And time seems to fly when I'm not mad about something. But yeah, work.. I usually like to work with my hands. Building, painting, drawing, something..... Hope that helps...

I am a Scorpio female and HATE to feel slighted as well. I do love getting revenge, but I do it on the down low and I make sure it is something that won't actually hurt someone too bad. I say stay up late one night and pee on your neighbors yard at about 3am. They will never know but you will be able to have a dam good laugh.

Well one thing that calms me down is listening to music, or screaming at that person that is making me mad. Although i live revenge sweet revenge the consicuences aren't really that nice, (even though revenge i do isn't against the law of anything like that).

You could always get something to pick up the sh*t and throw it back in his yard; better yet, at his doorstep. If that doesn't work, videotape the dog in your yard, then call the police. If that doesn't work, sue the jerk and use the videotape as evidence. Better to do things this way than to take things into your own hands. If you do, YOU might be the one to go to jail, and your purpose to put the idiot in his place will be defeated.

I agree with you here, I dated a Scorpio and he went Psycho when I broke it off. Trust me, I had good reason, he cheated, drank, did drugs incuding steroids, & always picked fights. He stalked me for a couple years. I filed many police reports, and he was charged with stalking me. I stay away from Scorpios at all costs.
Whatever you do, don't do drugs or alcohol, cuz they make the hate way worse!!
