The Scorpio Zodiac Profile |
Dates:
October 23rd through November 21st
Scorpio is the eighth Sign of the Zodiac. After Libra's
intellectual exploration of other people, Scorpio's interest is
in discovering other people's emotions and how they respond to
the world around them. Scorpio is the Sign of Sex and Death, the
beginning and ending of things, and they explore these ideas
from an emotional standpoint. People born under this Sign are
investigative and probing, often strongly intuitive and
penetrating. As the eighth Sign, Scorpio also rules the eighth
House: the House of Sex.

The Sign In Depth
The Astrological Symbol of Scorpio is the Scorpion. Like the
mythical Scorpion, people born under this Sign tend to be
strong-willed and wary of being controlled by others. At times
they can be self-destructive, like the Scorpion who kills itself
rather than letting someone else kill it. They are very
determined, and once they've made up their minds they are
unlikely to change them. They tend to be stubborn, refusing to
give up when others have long since gotten bored and abandoned a
project, and getting things done when no one else thought it
possible. In this way, Scorpio exemplifies the Fixed Quality
assigned to it. They are one of the Power Signs (the others
being Taurus, Leo and Aquarius). Scorpios tend to have their own
agenda, and work intensely to achieve their desires. People who
wish to change a Scorpio's mind often have trouble because they
can never be sure what their motivation is; Scorpios are too
complex and sometimes secretive to be understood easily. Within
the Zodiac, Scorpio is opposite Taurus, the Sign of Possessions.
While both Signs can be possessive, Taurus is concerned with
personal property and Scorpio tends to be about community
resources and group investments. They are very resourceful and
self-confident.
Scorpio is ruled by the Planets Mars and Pluto. In ancient Roman
mythology, Mars (and his Greek equivalent, Ares) was the God of
War, and ancient astrologers assigned both Aries and Scorpio to
this Planet. Pluto (and his Greek equivalent, Hades) was the God
of the Underworld, and when the Planet Pluto was discovered
early in the 20th Century astrologers assigned Scorpio to this
Planet. Under Mars' influence, Scorpio is the behind-the-scenes
tactician while Aries is on the front lines. Scorpio's modern
ruler, Pluto, represents Death and Endings; it's the Sign of
rebirth and regeneration. When the Scorpion loses its tail, it
regenerates a new stinger, and Scorpios can be reborn the same
way after they suffer losses. In addition, Pluto is a strong
Planet. It teaches a valuable lesson: while Scorpio has a
tendency to be possessive, Pluto pulls things away.
The Element associated with Scorpio is Water. Water Signs are
emotional: they tend to respond to the world through emotion,
rather than physical action, practicality, or intellect.
Scorpio's motto could be "still water runs deep." They
may repress their emotions, but underneath they are lusty and
perceptive. At times, though, Scorpio's water can be stagnant,
depending on whether they use their energy in a positive or
negative way. They may be vengeful or vindictive and unable to
get past personal slights. Scorpios are motivated and loyal, but
they are often misunderstood and people may see them as
dictatorial or sarcastic. If they have an ulterior motive, they
can be overbearing, but in a subtle, sly, or manipulative way.
Scorpios are both mystical and scientific, a combination that
makes them very aware of what is happening around them; they are
a Sign of great depth. If they aren't careful, though, their
passionate nature may lead them into self-indulgence or
compulsion.
The myth of the Phoenix is strongly associated with the Sign of
Scorpio. The Phoenix is regenerated from the ashes of its death,
and it rises into the sky, reborn. The most highly evolved
Scorpios aspire to be the Phoenix or Eagle, rising above the
ordinary world and into something extraordinary. Suspicion and
jealousy can pull them down, but passion and awareness can help
them rise above this.
In their leisure time, Scorpios enjoy competition and challenge.
They aren't satisfied with moving along at half speed or
lowering their abilities to allow people with lesser skills to
beat them. They enjoy difficult pursuits that challenge them to
excel, and they refuse to settle for being anything less than
the best. In love relationships, Scorpio is caring, devoted, and
possessive.
Scorpio rules the reproductive organs. People born under Scorpio
may be more susceptible to infections and fevers than people of
other Signs. Scorpio's colors are powerful and strident, like
Scorpions: black and red.
The great strength of the Scorpio-born is in their determination
to see things through to the end. They refuse to allow boredom
to turn them away from projects, and they are committed to
accomplishing what they set out to do. Their passion and
strength makes them one of the most powerful characters of the
Zodiac.
