Water sign · Fixed
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21 · Ruler: Mars (Pluto in modern astrology)
- Intensity
- Depth
- Transformation
You get to the bottom of things and of people. Nothing interests you halfway, and you know how to be reborn.
Symbol and myth
The scorpion sent by Artemis (or Gaia) brought down the hunter Orion. A sign of deep autumn, it knows that everything that dies prepares a rebirth.
Strengths and challenges
- Mistrust when you feel exposed.
- All or nothing: nuance can cost you.
In relationships
You live your bonds in depth: total loyalty, passion, a need for truth. Superficiality bores you.
At work
You go deep into subjects: uncovering what is hidden is one of your talents. You hold on where others give up.
Scorpio ascendant
You intrigue: an intense gaze, a magnetic reserve that makes people want to know more. Facing the unknown, you observe a lot and reveal little: you prefer to understand what is at stake before showing yourself.
