Being in the second degree can mean that these souls are having their second experience in the mastery of the water element as symbolised in their character. These souls know they cannot be peaceful unless their surroundings are tidy and well arranged. They are like a stream of water which cleans and sweeps away all unneeded debris while it is flowing, leaving a countryside refreshed and harmonised.
On the negative side of their nature, Scorpios may be as destructive as water when obstructed in its movements. They can become quarrelsome, erratic and restless when they find themselves in an environment which they cannot control. Frequently they appear to be unreasonable because they are unable to perceive that the orderliness mattering so much to them may be of little importance to other people. They need to cultivate the idea that it is not important who creates orderliness so long as there is the harmony for which they wish. If they have to tidy after untidy people in their home or place of employment, they should learn to do it for their own satisfaction and in the realisation that it is essential to their own peace, instead of undertaking it with the idea that other people will appreciate what they have gone.
Unfortunately, Scorpios frequently expect others to desire the same conditions as they want, and so unwittingly they create disharmony in their personal relationships. This causes them a lot of distress because their desire for peace is so great that they grieve about the upsets which can occur, afterwards holding within themselves resultant feelings of grievance. They often have difficulty in relinquishing the very things which disturb their peace of mind, until they learn to understand the meaning of their life: they begin to live more wisely when they understand their life lesson.
Inward holding of grievances invariably has an effect on the physical body. The inharmony tends to affect the part of the body most weakly aspected in the astrological position. For these people this is the hips, sexual organs and base region of the spine known as the coccyx, with a corresponding effect in the parts most closely related such as the legs and spinal column. Injuries in these vital parts may result in the development of conditions known simply as diseases of the nervous system and considered to be difficult to cure, as the illnesses are difficult to diagnose until the onset is well marked by symptoms of recognisable deep-seated illness.
Calcium Sulphate has a very subtle action in the physical body, as it is needed to aid in the dispersal of outworn or unneeded blood cells. A deficiency can bring about skin complaints and conditions resulting in thin, watery discharges. It is sometimes needed in conjunction with Natrum Sulphuricum if there are illnesses associated with kidney, liver or pancreas. It has the reputation for being especially helpful for people in the later years of life. It helps the system absorb and make proper use of the calcium which is essential for the health of the bony structure and teeth.
When the system of the Scorpio subject is slightly out of harmony, it tends to lose some of the Calcium Sulphate from the connective tissues, resulting in irritating small conditions such as gumboils, ulcers, abcesses, or other things which show the system is being loaded with unneeded waste deposits. These people have a tendency to worry excessively about their health. Sometimes they develop 'phobias' about themselves: if this happens, they ought to be persuaded to take a course of their astrologically indicated tissue salt, as this will cleanse the system and aid in the balancing of other chemical substances, thus restoring greatly needed peace to poor Scorpios who otherwise can go through life as somewhat bewildered and irritable people.
The spiritually aware Scorpio soul living under the second degree of the element of water is usually of a quiet, reliable nature, a peacemaker who wants orderliness because it gives him (or her) a feeling of security, beauty and harmony.
