notice his mars in 8th house, square pluto.... Heavy stuff, an astrologer friend of mine once described mars square pluto as, "boxing gloves with barbed wire wrapped around", this is the fist penetrating death of death. I felt very close to his themes and inner sanctum, with my mars aries, scorpio ascendant and saturn in scorpio, conjunct pluto in libra.

I would say Jeff Buckly's music had a deep scorpionic aura and mysticism to it, with a heavy dose of neptunian romanticism. The feel of "Dream brother" and the lyrics to "I woke up in a strange place" haunted me most... definately a ghost now

His Dark Materials is brilliant. I recommend them to anyone - I also love Harry Potter, probably my fave books ever, not really sure if its my scorpio rising side that it appeals to though.

When it comes to songs, I think good Scorp rising songs are probably:

Wild Horses - Rolling Stones
Heaven can wait - Meatloaf
Two out of Three Aint Bad - Meatloaf
Back to Black - Amy Winehouse
On My Own - Les Miserables
And I am Telling You - Jennifer Hudson
Desperado - The Eagles
Make You Feel My Love - Adele
Live and Let Die - Guns 'n' Roses
Patience - Guns 'n Roses
Something - The Beatles
Machines - Biffy Clyro

(in case by some absurdity you don't know any of those songs, you need to check them out right now. Seriously. Why are you still reading this? I said RIGHT NOW!)

Is perception really reality when you are tricked into having sex with some(body) other than you intended partner?
What are the limits to doing whatever you want? Going from being in complete control to being suicidal, even homicidal?
Experience the agony of tasting what you desire and realizing it was an illusion of or that as real as it seemed and felt, it is non-the-less a bottomless pit , not something you can ever really possess , it just doesn't fit in with the rest of your life and obligations. Human Contract shows
Some things are to be experienced and felt deeply, then "let go ", and/or kept secret for the sake of worldly success as one must get on
with the business of living
within well defined rules of engagem
