As a believer of Astrology, my Sun sign Scorpio is deeply intense and emotional. I tend to feel my emotions very deeply and it can be quite the roller coaster ride for me (and others!). Of course, I am quite aware of my emotional states and I tend to dwell on them throughout the day. If I am feeling angry, frustrated, guilty or lost, I have a conversation with myself to try and understand what brought me to feel this way, why the emotions feel so intense, the facts of what happened or what could have happened differently. I go through all different scenarios. These negative emotions are the ones I tend to spend the most time on. I am trying to "solve" or fix them in my head. I normally just talk it out and then move on. Occasionally, I will talk it out with my husband or friends but mostly, I just keep everything inside.
The more positive emotions of happiness, joy and calm, I take for granted. I don't seem to notice them as much. I wish I did because I would revel in them. I tend to feel these emotions mostly after certain activities, like yoga, listening to good music in the car or waking up in the morning to a quiet house.
An awareness of my emotions will help me in situations of "Talking Tough" because if I can get a better grasp of what I am feeling before I hit the point of getting very upset, I can handle the situation better. I can take some steps back, take a few deep breaths and try to look at it from a different perspective. If I can't do that, I need to remove myself from the situation until I feel I can be more objective about what is going on and can communicate on a calmer level.
