Classified and top secret, getting to the inner realm of this sign is not easy. Oh, certainly Scorpio is passionate - no doubt about it! As the fixed water sign of the zodiac, it illustrates the qualities of strong and abiding attachment. Scorpio, ruled by Mars and Pluto, serves to bring healing and transformation and misses nothing. However, Scorpio can hide beneath a cool, calm exterior, and while sensing everything, show nothing.

Symbolized by the Scorpion and Eagle, Scorpio represents the power to destroy and to regenerate. Scorpio is erotic, sensual and incisive, but can be an extremist and unrelentingly vengeful. And Scorpio explores and investigates until the core is exposed, illustrating exceptional research abilities. But there can also be an obsessive quality with Scorpio, and repressing emotions or holding onto pain can be difficulties arising with Scorpio. Yet Scorpio provides the energy necessary for birth and rejuvenation.

Where you find Scorpio in your chart, there is intensity and strong feeling, and this is the part of you where healing qualities reside.
