Scorpio is the eighth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Scorpius. In western astrology, the sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. In Astrology, Scorpio is considered a "feminine", negative (introvert) sign. It is also considered a water sign, and is one of four fixed signs.

Being a water sign, Scorpio is considered highly passionate, imaginative, determined, persevering, inflexible and self-confident.

Traditionally, the planet Mars has been considered to be the ruler of Scorpio, and since its discovery, Pluto has been considered a modern ruler of this sign. Some modern astrologers consider Pluto to be a more appropriate ruler over the sign, citing the reason for Mars having initially ruled the sign being that Pluto had not yet been discovered.[5]

As the eighth sign in the zodiac, Scorpio is associated with the astrological house number 8, which is associated with natural Scorpio matters - birth, death, transformation, sexual relationships and deeply committed relationships of all kinds, and the occult and psychic matters.

Scorpio is an astrological sign, associated with the constellation Scorpius. Under the tropical zodiac, Scorpio is typically occupied by the Sun from October 24 to November 22, and under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently from November 16 through December 15. The opposite sign to Scorpio is Taurus.

Mythology
In mythology Scorpio is often associated with Orpheus, from the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Scorpio is also associated with the Greco-Roman gods Ares/Mars. The constellation is also associated with the scorpion that killed Orion.

Characteristics
Scorpio is the eighth sign of the Zodiac and associated with intensity, fruitfulness, sexuality, passion, power, leadership, tenacity, and death.

The individuals born under this sign are thought to be loyal, strong-willed, complex, capable of genius, thoughtful, supportive, protective, generous, intense, humble, quiet, brave, and emotional. Scorpios can also be jealous, stubborn, demanding, grudge-holders, obsessive (especially with sex), secretive, possessive, angry, suspicious, hedonistic, and unreliable. Also, Scorpios tend to be suicidal.

Scorpios usually can't stand surprises, lying/deceit, apathy, being analysed/questioned, being 'understood', excessive compliments, insincerity, embarrassment and passivity.

The Scorpio ego can also be the most resilient in the zodiac. You can neither insult nor compliment them to ill or great effect, as Scorpios know their strengths and weaknesses. You may not be able to insult them, but you can easily break their heart once it has been given.

The are often called the loners of the zodiac. In fact, they hate being alone, and this misinterpretation of their desire to protect themselves as aloofness is the most heartbreaking part of being a Scorpio.

Scorpio! About Your Sign...
Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac. Even when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior. They are like the volcano not far under the surface of a calm sea, it may burst into eruption at any moment. But those of us who are particularly perceptive will be aware of the harnessed aggression, the immense forcefulness, magnetic intensity, and often strangely hypnotic personality under the tranquil, but watchful composure of Scorpio. In conventional social gatherings they are pleasant to be with, thoughtful in conversation, dignified, and reserved, yet affable and courteous; they sometimes possess penetrating eyes which make their shyer companions feel naked and defenseless before them.

In their everyday behavior they give the appearance of being withdrawn from the center of activity, yet those who know them will recognize the watchfulness that is part of their character. They need great self-discipline, because they are able to recognize the qualities in themselves that make them different from other humans, and to know their utterly conventional natures can be used for great good, or great evil. Their tenacity and willpower are immense, their depth of character and passionate conviction overwhelming, yet they are deeply sensitive and easily moved by their emotions. Their sensitivity, together with a propensity for extreme likes and dislikes make them easily hurt, quick to detect insult or injury to themselves (often when none is intended) and easily aroused to ferocious anger. This may express itself in such destructive speech or action that they make lifelong enemies by their outspokenness, for they find it difficult not to be overly critical of anything or anyone to whom they take a dislike.

They can harness their abundant energy constructively, tempering their self-confidence with shrewdness and their ambition with magnanimity toward others provided they like them. They relate to fellow workers only as leaders and can be blunt to those they dislike to the point of cruelty. In fact they are not above expressing vindictiveness in deliberate cruelty. They are too demanding, too unforgiving of faults in others, perhaps because they are not aware of the shortcomings within themselves, and extravagantly express their self-disgust in unreasonable resentment against their fellows. They do, however, make excellent friends, provided that their companions do nothing to impugn the honor of which Scorpios are very jealous. Part of the negative side of the Scorpio nature is a tendency to discard friends once they cease to be useful, but the decent native is aware of, and fights this tendency

They are fortunate in that their strong reasoning powers are tempered with imagination and intuition, and these gifts, together with critical perception and analytical capacity, can enable the Scorpions to penetrate to profundities beyond the average. They have a better chance of becoming geniuses than the natives of any other sign.But charismatic "twice-born" characters such as they can sink into the extremes of depravity if they take the wrong path, and the intensity of their nature exaggerates their harmful tendencies into vices far greater than the normal.
Rebelliousness against all conventions, political extremismto the point where hatred of the Establishment makes them utterly unscrupulous terrorists. Brooding resentment, aggressive and sadistic brutality, total arrogance, morbid jealousy, extreme volatility of temperament, these are some of their vices. At the other extreme is the procrastinator, the man or woman who is capable of so much that they do nothing and become indolent and self-indulgent, requiring extravagant praise and flattery from those whom they make their cronies.

Being so gifted, they can find fulfillment in many employments. Their inner intensity can result in the ice-cold self-control and detachment of the surgeon, the concentration of the research scientist, and the heroism of the soldier. Any profession in which analysis, investigation, research, dealing with practicalities, and the solving of mysteries are relevant, can appeal to them. So police and detective work, espionage and counterespionage, the law, physics or psychology may attract them, and they can become masters of the written and spoken word. They may be most persuasive orators and find fulfillment as diplomats or preachers and, if they make the Church their profession, their inner intensity can express itself in the spiritual fervor of the mystic or the thaumaturgy.

Scorpio is the symbol of sex and Scorpios are passionate lovers, the most sensually energetic of all the signs. For them, union with the beloved is a sacrament, an "outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace.". Their overriding urge in loving is to use their power to penetrate beyond themselves and to lose themselves sexually in their partners in an almost mystical ecstasy, thus discovering the meaning of that union which is greater than individuality, and is a marriage of the spirit as well as of flesh. They are thus capable of the greatest heights of passionate transport, but debauchery and perversion are always dangers, and Scorpios can become sadistic monsters of sensuality and eroticism. Their feelings are so intense that even when their love is of the highest, and most idealistic kind, they are nevertheless frequently protagonists in tragic, even violent romances, "star-crossed lovers".

General Characteristics
No one could legitimately accuse the pure Scorpio of being dull and pedestrian. He/she possesses tremendous energy and, often, ambition. The old astrologers taught that some of the characteristics of this zodiacal sign were best symbolized by the eagle. Scorpios, they said, have all the fleshly appetites of the carnivorous eagle, liking to tear and rend the prey that they snatch from earth and then to fly high, hovering far above the rest of us, and to detach themselves from the boredom which lies below. In other words, however concerned with their strong appetites Scorpios may be, they are also likely to turn out to be high flyers, men and women whose inner strength can overcome all the problems of everyday existence - including, it is worth adding, those that arise as a direct consequence of indulgence in the delights of the flesh.

There are strong relationships between the sign of Scorpio and the planet Mars and (if modem astrologers are to be believed) Pluto, and pure Scorpios display many of the good and bad characteristics associated with these planets. Thus, they are authoritative, brave, energetic, innovative and creative. If, on the other hand, a Scorpionic personality manifests some of the more negative aspects of the planets, he or she can be cruel to the point of sadism, a brutally destructive individual who says 'evil be thou my good' Even their best friends would be unlikely to refer to pure Scorpios as 'instantly likeable' or 'full of charm', yet their energy and drive make them useful- although dangerous - friends and allies. Better to avoid Scorpios than to abuse their friendship by disloyalty.

Character
Scorpio is the eighth sign of the Zodiac and is represented by the scorpion. Your emotions are very strong and you keep them under strict control, but they bubble under the surface only to erupt over some small thing when others least expect it. This is because you hide your inner turmoil so well that on the surface everything looks normal. You are very secretive and feel that knowledge is power, so you ask probing questions to find out about other people to help you control your immediate environment. Scorpio is associated with the sexual organs and you have the reputation of being overly interested in sex. With a Scorpio Sun you have amazing determination and once your mind is made up you will not turn back on any decision. You are fascinated by all things hidden and will do your utmost to find out about other people's secrets. Your strong emotions and jealous nature result in you always seeking revenge if crossed. Because of this you are capable of great destruction, more than any other sign, and at the very least you can be very cutting and sarcastic. Your deep and hidden feelings mean that you are prone to brood and if someone hurts you, you will never forget. You have a powerful magnetism that makes you very popular and attractive, especially to the opposite sex. When in a relationship you make a passionate lover and a loyal friend as you have a natural psychic ability that helps you to connect emotionally with those around you. Other people either love or hate you, nothing in between, and you are also very extreme yourself with your likes and dislikes. You give the impression of being cool and cynical because of your reluctance to express or show your feelings but underneath you are extremely vulnerable. In a relationship you need constant proof of affection and are not suited to a partner who is undemonstrative. You tend to have a few very close and trusted friends.

Words used to describe Scorpio
Intense, determined, powerful, magnetic, bold, forceful, mysterious, secretive, psychic, introverted, strong-willed and penetrating.

Scorpio Eye
Look at the eyes. They can be green, blue, brown or black, but they'll be piercing with hypnotic intensity. Most people feel nervous and ill at ease under Scorpio's steady gaze. You'll have to break the spell and look away first. He'll outstare you every time. It's a foolproof identifica­tion of the Pluto personality. Scorpio eyes bore deeply into you, mercilessly, as if they're penetrating your very souL They are.

Scorpio Voice
Next, listen to him speak. The tone can be velvety soft, husky or sharply cutting, the speech slow and measured or clipped and staccato, but what he says will never be self-effacing. Scorpio has total ego. He knows what he is and he knows what he is not, and nothing anyone else thinks will change this knowledge. Insults roll right off his back, and compliments don't move him a fraction of an inch. He needs no one to tell him his vices or his virtues. At best, he'll calmly agree with your appraisal; at worst, he'll suspect your motives.

Love
You are seeking a partner who is mysterious enough to maintain your interest and who can share and understand your deep emotions but not be controlled into submission. Someone to know completely and possess but not destroy.

Sexuality
Scorpio is the sign that rules sexuality and the powers of lust. But their passion is only as deep and profound as it is because it is connected with the ultimate gift of sex.....life. And these are the beings unafraid to face either life or death and that fearlessness translates into their sexual expressions. They can reach the highest highs or the lowest lows in whatever passion they pursue and they are the most intense, uninhibited and dynamic lovers in the zodiac. It comes with deep attachment and needs and a driving urge to come to terms with the enormity of life.

Relations with other element signs
Water signs are seen as being complementary to the earth signs who provide them with the stability that they need to develop, whilst the water signs allow the earth signs to work more effectively. Although water signs are often, according to astrological theory, attracted to fire signs because of their ardent, passionate character, in general water signs will eventually find fire signs much too rude, outspoken, and honest to be comfortable with them. Water signs are supposed to have strong adversity, even hatred, for air signs, whose personalities they regard as shallow, uncaring, cold, and excessively worldly, though sometimes an air sign can balance out the traits of a water sign (thus creating a great friendship).

Exaltation
Scorpio though the house of Mars, yet generally accepted for fruitful.

Career
You have great reserves of energy that need a daily outlet otherwise it would be all too easy for you to turn to a life of crime. Because of this you need to be emotionally involved in your work and you are willing to work hard to obtain financial security. You also work better under at least some pressure to keep you emotionally fulfilled. You do well in areas involving anything hidden like mining, psychology, detective work, chemistry, surgery or plumbing. Also, anything requiring muscular skill or aggressive enterprise like police work or as a bailiff will help you to release your energy in a controlled way.

Careers
Police, Detector, artist, scientist, lawyer, athlete, singer, acting, football player, Optus World worker.


Pluto Rules the Sign of Scorpio

This is the most common glyph for Pluto. It is associated with spiritual changes, self development, and political power. A person under the strong influence of this planet will experience many different upsets in their life, such as rebirths (transformations and regenerations of both the spirit and the mind). It exerts tremendous force in bringing about changes and plays a key role in identifying spiritual lessons during a lifetime.

Plutos energies are very intense and when unleashed they can actually change an entire life, for good or evil, so much so that the person seems caught up in a whirlwind until the phase passes and leaves a complete set of new ideas, ideals, or morals instilled in the very core of their being. It also has a purifying energy that allows one to rise to higher levels of awareness. Before this rise can come about one must consciously seek to eliminate anything that would hinder them. Sometimes Plutos energies are perceived as destructive but they are, rather, a reflection of energy being returned to itself; this effect has often been associated with the subversive elements of society and with the underground.

Due to the slow orbital journey it is seen as a generational influence, as with most of the outer planets, its natal house position has a much greater meaning. Its influence is neither mild or subtle, it destroys the old and builds the new. Bold in its actions.

On the downside: Power abuser, distructive, the darker side of magic, selfserving, fanatic,.
Your good qualities include: Keeping a spiritual outlook, ability to dicern the truth.
Aiding the transformations that will allow your maximum soul growth will be your lifes work.
