  (Very Hushed Whisper) "Is She a Scorpio?"
  (Very Hushed Reply) "Who?"
  (Impatient Hiss) "Whoopi Goldberg."
  (Annoyed Half Voice) "Why are you even asking?"
  (Full Voiced Indignant Summation) "Look at the mouth drop!!!!"
  
  
  This was me not only annoying my friend whom I went to see the movie "The Color Purple" back in the 80's with, but also fully disrupting the front and back rows next to us of the full house movie theater audience. But I will defend myself by ALWAYS being able to nail a Scorpio actor or actress simply by a paritcular facial gesture that I call the "mouth drop". An emotional expression that Scorpionic sculptor Auguste Rodin captures so painfully well in my favorite work of all time in this medium, "The Burghers of Calais".
  
  
  I highly recommend you listen to this 7 minute clip from the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia that explains how this piece came to be along with a full description of Rodin's intentions:

  The people of Calais openly rejected this piece stating that the sculpture did not depict the heroes from their town during the 100 Years War, but from the viewpoint of the Scorpio by allowing us to see this most emotionally vulnerable moment as these men express their genuine emotions facing Death itself but still moving forward knowing that their sacrifice will save their countrymen - nothing could be more brave or tragically heroic. Death is something that the Scorpio is inherently aware of throughout life, and how astounding that Rodin captures 6 very different but each very painfully real reactions of a human being facing his impending mortality! I personally see the Burgher holding the key, who from this angle is directly facing us as Rodin, himself, the man, the Scorpio.
  
  Why? Behold the mouth drop!
  
  I'm always surprised how many people interpret a Scorpio's behavior as cold or Un-emotional. How ironic, since I consider this the sign to fully take to heart the palette of deepest human emotions. The mouth drop stands out to me a mile away because this one small external muscular flattening and lowering of the corners of the mouth tells me that a Scorpio has now fully been swept away by the tsunami of emotions inside him or her; YET even though they are fully subservient to their deepest feelings it is only their lower face that flattens.
  
  Through their eyes at that critical moment one can see the actual raw naked soul which now gleams with the power of Life itself as it unflinchingly goes forward to bear the mantle of its fate.
