Georgia O’ Keeffe is the archetypal Scorpio. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Ascendant, Jupiter and the Part of Fortune all crowded around her Ascendant and opposite a painterly Neptune in Taurus. She took nature (Taurus, Kore) and transformed it into something deeper, darker and more confronting.
Like Persephone, beguiled by flowers, once picked, they took her on an erotic journey into a deeper, darker place. Georgia admits to being terrified, but courageously moved forwards none the less (Scorpio is ruled by Mars) and her Furies brought her to a place of inner torment (her breakdowns) and to a barren, foreign land (which of course was not barren but stripped down to the bare essentials as desert landscapes are), where she found solace in solitude, nature, and her art. Scorpio, like Mars-ruled Aries needs seclusion to express themselves.
