Love & Relationships
Scorpio matches extremely well with Cancer, another Scorpio or Virgo.
Relationships with Pisces rarely ever last long term.

Scorpio’s Passions:
Scorpio’s are passionate about everything-work, play, and most of all love.
Scorpio’s love to wear sunglasses to hide their intense look; these people love to stare and hide behind the glasses to make it harder for someone to notice.
Scorpio’s long for new vistas and are always looking for new challenges.  They can take on many at the same time. They have very good instincts, very intuitive and are very good at keeping secrets. 

Interesting…
One of the strangest patterns in astrology is the death of a relative in the family within either a year before or a year after the birth of a Scorpio. When a Scorpio dies, there will be a birth in the family within a year before or after. It happens at least ninety-five percent of the time.

An In Depth Look at Scorpio’s

Those born between Oct 23rd and Oct 31st:

These are the Scorpio’s that are the most loyal and dependable.  They are capable of being influenced by others around them.
Those born between Nov 1st and 10th:

 Are more friendly and chatty and therefore a little less tactful.  They are the nicest of the Scorpio types. But they can be hurt more easily than the other types of Scorpio’s.  Although all Scorpio’s are very sensitive.

Those born between Nov 11th and Nov 22nd:

These Scorpio’s are the most ambitious.  Ambition knows no bounds for them.
The constitution of these types of Scorpio’s especially, is the strongest. It is hard for them to have to give in even when undergoing great strain.  One might compare them to a power station; they appear to generate a little extra energy just at the last minute, when most needed to finish the job.

Virgos are an earth sign, ruled by Mercury they are organized, creative and ready to take on the task at hand. When I think of the Sun entering Virgo, I think of the first day of school and new beginnings. Virgo cooks like to be prepared! My Mother in Law is a Virgo. She and I have shared many happy hours in the kitchen and she has helped me to become more organized, encouraging me to make notes and write my recipes in a folder rather than keeping them in my head.

One of my favorite recipes from her kitchen is this wonderful German Farmer’s Breakfast, also known as Bauernfruhstuck.  It’s a hearty meal and great served with fresh fruit and coffee. I love to serve this to my family and guests; once your guests enjoy this dish, they will feel like family too!

Recipes for Bauernfruhstuck vary, but each version uses eggs, breakfast meat or cheese, onions and greens. As with all Bauernfruhstuck the measurements of ingredients can vary with your tastes. Enjoy!

Bauernfruhstuck (German Farmer’s Breakfast)

Ingredients

2 large red potatoes, washed and quartered lengthwise

2 Tbsp Ghee or cooking oil

1 small sweet onion chopped

freshly ground pepper to taste

1 cup cooked ham, 1 inch cubed

1 bunch chopped Spinach

1 bunch chopped Arugula

4 eggs, whisked

1/2 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese

Directions

1. Boil the red potatoes in a saucepan of lightly salted water for 10-15 minutes until partially cooked. Drain, rinse with cold water to cool. (These can be cooked the night before.) Cut into 1-inch squares. Set aside.

2. Heat the Ghee (or oil) in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the onions . Increase the heat to medium-high and gently brown the onion , stirring frequently, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Push the vegetables to the side of the pan; add the potatoes and additional ghee (or olive oil) to the pan. Brown the potatoes for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the ham to the potatoes and cook, stirring frequently until the ham is heated through, 1-2 minutes.

4. Reduce the heat to Medium. Mix all of the onion, potato and ham together and mix in the spinach and arugula. Add the eggs, stirring to distribute the eggs among the vegetables and ham. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.

As soon as eggs begin to firm up, remove from heat.

Serve immediately!
