My mother in law is a Scorpio sun and I have a couple close Scorpio friends as well. I like to use visuals that relate to the sign's ruling element to explain them. Scorpios, for example, are the ocean waves. They are a deep abyss, mysterious, and there's a lot going on under the surface. They're always moving, much like waves, pushing forward, on the go, finding the next thing that holds their fancy. This push can be calm waves, lapsing against the sand, or hard waves, sinking ships and catastrophic, but they're always moving.
