Water sign ruled by Pluto.
You like things to run according to plan. If you make your mind up to do something, then that’s exactly how it’s going to be. You’ll persevere from beginning to end, whatever the project. It doesn’t matter whether it is painting a house, changing your job, or pursuing that dream person you see on the bus every morning: what matters is singularity of purpose.
Sometimes single-mindedness can become too rigid, and you can fall into the trap of missing out what’s going on elsewhere. You need to walk a fine line between being purposeful and obsessive. Fixating on a goal can make things pretty intense all round, as you end up living and breathing nothing else. Money means a great deal to you, and you must have it a lot, if possible. A life of poverty would be too much to ask of you! This is where your determination is put to good use, for you have the ability to save and accumulate, and from such seedlings oak trees grow.
Your feelings can swell from small ripples into absolute tidal waves. That’s fine so long as they find expression, and don’t become dammed up inside. If this happens – that is, if you allow repression to take hold – your frustration will eventually spill over and innocent people will suffer. But the ultimate victim will be you: self-recrimination corrodes. But you know all this, don’t you? Still, there’s no harm in repeating the obvious!
Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto and correlates to the principle of death and rebirth, or regeneration. With your intense willpower you have the ability to totally change your life around at any given moment. Once you feel like something has outgrown it’s usefulness you can quite easily just disregard it and find something new to take it’s place. Whether it is a relationship, a value or an object, you seem to know instinctively when it is time to move on!
Two animals are used to represent Scorpio, the eagle and the scorpion. The eagle is capable of reaching great heights because he has mastered his lower nature and overcome his passions and the temptations of the sensual sphere. The eagle has risen above the physical world because he has regenerated himself. The scorpion, however, represents those who have not regenerated their thoughts and actions and are still living degenerate lives. They use their cunning and strike when least expected. These are the ones who satisfy their passions regardless of consequences.
