Scorpios like being in too deep to back out now. There's something intense and irrefutable about it. The higher the stakes, the more impossible the escape. This is why you won't walk away from the heavy entanglement that the Mercury/Venus sextile portends on December 11th. You know that you're playing with fire, but infernal fire is the kind of flame that anyone born under Pluto is looking for. It's where you come alive. Thankfully others don't have the temerity that you have, which means that they will turn around and go back the way they came on December 29th, thereby leaving the prize to you.
