The two ways it runs
When it flows
You move through changes that would sink other people. You are at home in the deep water where things end and begin again, and you can pass through a loss of one kind or another and surface renewed. People trust you with what is hidden, because you do not flinch from it.
When it strains
You get pulled under by the depths instead of passing through them. Change can feel like a loss you will never come back from, or you circle the dark places and cannot find the surface. The same depth that lets you transform can become somewhere you get stuck, gripping what needs to be released.
Where this differs from mainstream astrology
The twelve signs sit the same way in both the Sefer Yetzirah and the later Golden Dawn system, so Scorpio’s letter (Nun) and path are not in dispute. What the Golden Dawn moved was the seven planets — which is where kabbalistic astrology quietly parts from almost every modern book.
