About Scorpio

Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign. It is ruled by Mars (traditional) or Pluto (modern) and associated with the 8th house. The Sun is in Scorpio from late October to late November, which is the middle of fall in the Northern Hemisphere. Scorpio is associated with transformation, deep emotions, and the mysteries of life and death. It represents the process of letting go, the decay that precedes rebirth, and the secrets that lies hidden beneath the surface.

The polarity of Scorpio is Taurus, which is Fixed Earth. The Taurus-Scorpio axis is about resources, survival, and sexuality.
