Scorpio Quick Facts
Scorpios are one of the three water signs (Cancer and Pisces are the other two). The Scorpio is symbolized by, aptly, a scorpion symbol.
The Scorpio’s modality is fixed, meaning they’re stubborn in their behavior and thoughts. Outside parties must extend a considerable amount of energy to change the Scorpio’s opinion or behavior, but it can be done. A Scorpio is not one to take leadership like a Cardinal sign or be overly accommodating like a Mutable sign.
This sign is ruled by Pluto and Mars, which are at odds with each other. Mars is the planet of self-initiative and focused determination. Someone ruled by Mars wants to create their identity on their own terms and would push away any indication that another person is helping carve their identity. For a Scorpio, the Mars ruling planet means they’re independent — sometimes to a fault.
Pluto, on the other hand, is the planet aligning the rulee’s connection with greater cosmic forces. Those ruled by Pluto want to see “signs” that their decision is correct before fully committing to one. The Scorpio under Pluto would halt their self-determination to make room for their intuition.
You can see how these two forces within the Scorpio conflict. The internal Pluto-Mars battle means the Scorpio comes off as inconsistent or even erratic at times. Their disposition changes from energetic motivation to a wait-and-see method of approaching life.
