Ruled by Mars and Pluto Scorpio is characterized by a strong instinct and violent impulses. His unconscious forces are often too powerful to be controlled and express themselves in a disorderly manner causing deep existential anguish. Only in the dialectic Taurus-Scorpio may fail to understand fully the nature of this sign where the sense of death and life are closely linked. While its opposite sign, Taurus, symbolizes life in its most simple and concrete, and sex, for example, is experienced as a means of procreation, in Scorpio turns into erotic sex, intercourse is experienced with aggression, curiosity, but also with fear, as soon as the pleasure and death come together.
The Scorpio is expanding aggressively, but also to mental and intellectual field. Often intelligence is very sharp, unconventional, if not revolutionary. Unlike the Taurus, quiet, diffident and "restrained", Scorpio loves the risk and audacity is even more openly as the situation is difficult and dangerous. Corresponding to the eighth house of the Zodiac, which is that of death, but also the ability of resurrection, Scorpio can destroy and desecrate what is traditional and compliant, to revolutionize and build something totally new. Pluto, along with Mars, ruler of the sign, symbolizes not only the seed that fertilizes, but also the unconscious forces that seek ways to express themselves in a creative and original. Who is strongly influenced by the Scorpion is often a maverick,
intelligence open to any stress, even the least orthodox, and with a will to power and intuition almost demonic in some, can become a weapon to use to your advantage and just so crystal clear. When forces are prevailing aggressive and instinctual life of the natives of the sign and characterized by the struggle and is extremely competitive which can lead to violence and cruelty. If, on the contrary, the instinctive forces deep can be controlled and regulated, Scorpio can get to a high level of sublimation. However you can also find people who reject and repress the instinct and sexuality falling prey to anxiety and strong feelings of guilt. Constant fear can make them unhappy and deeply troubled. Anatomically, Scorpio is associated with the genitals and anus.

The woman of the sign. Like humans, much importance to eroticism. Often it is very seductive, and seems to be made to live longer and overwhelming passions rather than a short marriage that might appear to her, the long, monotonous.
