Ruled by both Mars and Pluto, there’s no surprise that Scorpio is a sign of deep intensity. The river of emotion runs deep for Scorpio and its waters are dark, and foreboding yet oh so mysterious and enticing. 

Scorpio is extremely sensitive and feels emotion pretty intensely which in turn makes them reluctant to wear their heart on their sleeve. Despite being very loyal and honest themselves, they’re quite suspicious of others and don’t tend to trust very easily. 

 Scorpio isn’t just secretive when it comes to emotional vulnerability, these fiercely competitive creatures also understand that keeping their next move in any plan can give them the competitive edge. Scorpio is very determined when it wants something and can be quite ruthless in its pursuit.

 There’s a certain allure to Scorpio that’s hard to define, they have personal power and natural magnetism that fuels their ambitions and often brings them great success. 

 As a natural ruler of the 8th house, sex plays an important part in Scorpio’s life. Their ferocious sexual appetite is legendary and it’s often said that sex with a Scorpio with raise the bar so high, you may never match it again. 

 When a Scorpio does eventually learn to trust their partner, they’ll be extremely loyal and devoted. When they fall in love they fall hard and completely, they’ll slowly peel back all your layers (that includes clothes) until they understand every single thing about you. 

 Scorpio’s intense desire to know everything about a person or a topic can also verge into obsession, a bit intrusive and penetrating if you’re the subject but also very effective when it comes to investigating stuff. 

 Scorpio’s are excellent detectives so don’t try to pull the wool over their eyes, they take kindly to any kind of deception or betrayal and are quite well known for their vengeful need for payback when slighted.
