The descriptions on how Scorpios look like can be influenced and affected by the qualities associated with the Decan into which the Scorpio individual falls.
A subject born within the First Decan (October 23 to October 31...also known as the Scorpio Decante of Scorpio) is rather typical of the above description, but generally somewhat slim of build and short to medium in terms of height. Here, the nose is often sharp and pointed with the gaze being extremely intense. The skin is typically darker than normal and the tendency to put on weight is more pronounced as the years go by. There may well be an accented libido associated with this Decan, which makes its natives...and others...very much aware of a sexual and sensual appearance. It would not be uncommon for these subjects, on a personal level, to receive unwelcome...or even gross...attention from people and if they dress too provocatively, may be inviting situations they could well do without.
A subject born within the Second Decan (November 1 to November 10...also known as the Pisces Decante of Scorpio) falls under the influence of Pisces and the associated characteristics of that Sign, which tend to soften and refine both the physical features and the personality of Scorpio. Here, the build tends to be somewhat broader. In addition, the face is also broader and more square with larger eyes. The neck will be fairly thick and long while the legs may be somewhat bowed. Natives of this Decan may be tall or even very tall. In fact, the overall impression is of an individual who is slightly overweight but relatively good-looking. Scorpio natives who are governed by this Decan and who were born in the 1940s and 1950s may not necessarily adhere to this physicial description due to the confusion caused by the Neptune semi-sextile influence. In addition, the traditional strong will, determination, secrecy and drive that is characteristic of this Sign may be less pronounced, with its natives likely to be the most artistically inclined of the three Scorpio Decans.
A subject born within the Third Decan (November 11 to November 21...also known as the Cancer Decante of Scorpio), whether male or female, is likely to inherit some of his or her mother's features. In many instances, however, this may not be nearly so evident until middle age or later. Here, nearly all parts of the body will tend toward roundness. Natives of this Decan are usually medium tall and the nose is almost always aquiline. There is also a tendency toward restlessness with this Decante and an inclination to be overly sensitive to the personal environment.
