Scorpio may not represent the main ruling sign of shamanism which certainly is Sagittarius. But as the sign of nomad cultures it reflects the cultural circumstances under wich the historical roots of the role of medicine women and men and/or tribal priests developed. After the experience of the witch-hunt period in European history the word witch also includes the connotations of the defensive role of women and of “female spirituality” under threat from male dominated spiritual authorities (the church). Therefore Scorpio in its function as the sign of the traumatic defense system and of trauma itself also relates to the traumatic experience of female shamans, healers, doctors or even simply self-reliant and powerful women. Apart from that Scorpio through its strong resonance with chemistry is also an important factor in the science of pharmacy and in the production of medecine.
