Scorpio at a Glance

• General

  • Funny; Able to see deeper into most subjects than most others; Scorpios find humor in the darkest situations

  • Super Intense: While known to be “dark”, this sign would better be described as intense or even focused

  • Driven: I pity anything standing between a Scorpio and their intended target

  • Suspicious: Ruled by the more cautious side of Mars and deeply intrigued Pluto, Scorpio can’t get away from questioning the world around them

  Symbol

  • The Scorpion

  • Scorpions are arachnids with an exoskeleton, prominent pincers, and an especially notable stinger on their tail; these all help to defend the animal from attack

  • Scorpius is the constellation for Scorpio; in mythology, he was clandestinely sent to kill Orion in payment of his hubristic attempt to kill every animal on Earth

  • The two were placed on opposing ends of the Zodiac to serve as examples of excessive pride

• Element

• Water

• their emotional intensity; they’re feeling it, so you need to, as well

Hades with Cerberus at his side

• Ruler(s)

  • Mars, Guardian of Agriculture, Protector of the Roman People

    • We covered him in Aries, so we will focus on Scorpio’s modern ruler:

  • Pluto, King of the Underworld, God of the Dead, God of Riches

  • He is most comfortable when in the dark and mysterious Underworld

  • He is the lord of the transformative process of death

  • Rulership over riches explains Scorpio’s tendency to gain and distribute wealth for themselves and others

• Hidden Trait

  • Absent-minded; You’d lose track, too, if your brain was a browser tab, constantly in refresh

• Deadly Sin

  • Lust; sex is often tied to Scorpio, but lust applies to desire, itself. Scorpio isn’t gluttonous; they only want what they can’t or shouldn’t have

• Crime if Arrested

  • Conspiracy for murder, Unlike Virgo, they wouldn’t go through with it. Also unlike Virgo, they would definitely get caught or even turn themselves in due to boredom.

• Loves

  • Danger; perhaps its Mars’ hold on them, having them see that rush of living on the edge

• Hates

• Being deceived or tricked; they’re the ones who are supposed to do the manipulation, alright?!

• Will

• Completely open up; this only applies if they find you special, helpful, or otherwise useful

• Won’t

• Open up at all, especially if you’re unfamiliar to them (or are of no use to their goals)
