A sovereign bearing...
Embassies are grounds within a country considered to be foreign: subject to the foreign laws and protections of the country they represent. Consequently, to enter the embassy of your own country while visiting another, is to enter your own sovereign land. This is commonly understood to be the foundations for what is known as 'diplomatic immunity.
Through Scorpio 12, we might expect to find a sense of sovereign bearing... one is the example, the representative, the ambassador of a sense of independence. Or, we might find a sense of being in a foreign land, of not fitting in like a native son, yet carrying oneself with a dignity in accord to one's own homeland.
"An embassy ball' also suggests a gathering of dignitaries, perhaps from many lands. The 'ball' would be a gathering of the elite and therefore, not open to all.
Depending on how Scorpio is conditioned by other horoscope considerations, we might find a strong sense of barriers between social strata. Think of the glass ceiling women endure in their efforts to ascend professionally.
The barrier theme is echoed in all of the fixed sign 12 degree symbols. Take a look and see if you can see how.
