Astrology Facts

Scorpio is a Water Sign, like Pisces and Cancer, and lives to experience and express its emotions. Although feelings are crucial to Scorpio, it shows them very differently than other Water Signs, preferring to keep things close to the chest. However, you can be sure that a Scorpio will keep your secrets, no matter what they are.

Pluto, planet of transformation and generational change, rules Scorpio. This slow moving planet gives Scorpio its cool, calm demeanor and its decidedly mysterious appeal. People often say Scorpios are intense, and this is because they're very in touch with how the universe works. Some Scorpios may even seem much older than their chronological years as they move through this lifetime. They make great leaders because they're so dedicated to whatever they're doing and, often, these natives are capable of making large-scale world changes with their verve and penetrating ideas.
