Scorpio is ruled by the planets Mars and Pluto and is represented by a Scorpion or Eagle. These are strong representations of the Scorpio; Scorpios are all about concentration and power. They are like a pool that is small in width but almost endless in depth; you could fall into them, underestimating how deep they are. It's universally understood that these are people who are different.
Scorpio is a feminine sign; there is something romantic and sweet about these people, which is contrasting to the reputation that they uphold. I do not dispute that Scorpios are intense - they have a lot going on inside, but they’re not all cloaks and daggers, secrets and hidden agendas.
Because things can become so overwhelmingly dark for them, they cherish the relaxed moments in their lives and not giving a damn what others think, which is essentially what they work towards. I think all Scorpios have “phases” in their lives and transformations that they go through in order to achieve the best version of themselves. While Capricorns represent death, they represent the process of dying and the afterlife. It’s that planetary effect; in Greek mythology, Pluto is the god of the underworld.
The transitions that Scorpios go through are painful for them, but like the mystical Phoenix bird, Scorpios will always be reborn from the ashes. They have an inner, unwavering strength and resilience - these aren’t the kind of people you want to fuck with. They’ve suffered so much internally that they have learned to become strong. Perhaps this inner strength is why bad luck tends to follow them like a dark shadow.
The thing with Scorpios is that they do not disregard or try to avoid the darker side of life. These are the kind of people who would try to swim to the bottom of the ocean to see how deep it goes; they’re always testing their limits and they’re not afraid to go where no one else will. Sometimes this behaviour can become self-destructive, but in a way they need to break themselves apart to know their own inner-workings and how to put themselves back together.
Even though they’re passionate, they are also pretty laid-back people at the same time. They understand that life can be ugly and, in this sense, can be very accepting people. You will feel like you can divulge any kind of information about yourself to your Scorpio, and that they will accept and understand it. They’re probably the best people to go to if you’ve murdered someone; as long as you have a good enough reason, they’ll help cover it up. Scorpios do not see the world black and white, they understand those incredibly murky grey areas better than anyone.
And this is an incredible quality about them; Scorpios rarely feel the need to pretend to be anything but who they are and this attracts many people to them. They have this magnetic energy, no matter what kind of person they are. They can seem meek and shy or sexy and aloof - in either case, people will be watching them from afar, wondering about their lives.
They have a need to control which can be suffocating when you’re close to them. When I say “control”, it’s not usually other people as much as it’s themselves. With Mars influencing them, they can see the world like a battlefield much like an Aries, but instead of fearing physical conflict, they fear psychic ones. They put so much value in the power of their minds, they can become fearful of people trying to take that independence from them. They can be overprotective of their vulnerable side and as a result come off as cold and untouchable. It can also make them critical of people who do not meet their high standards.
There is literally so much to say about this sign and still so much more to discover. Very much like onions, they have a lot of layers and the more you peel back, the more it makes you cry…(stupid joke, I’m sorry.) Scorpio’s are strong, emotionally understanding, controlling, powerful…there are so many words to describe them, but they all vary as individuals, no two Scorpios are alike. They have amazing qualities just as they have terrifying ones. One thing I can attest to is that a Scorpio is the kind of person you want having you back; if you’re a true friend or lover to a Scorpio, there is nothing they won’t do for the people they love.
