Scorpio (October 23rd - November 22nd) is the sign of intensity par excellence.

It is also one of the signs of the zodiac that is the most attuned to paranormal happenings. Scorpios are indeed fascinated by fate, death and taboo subjects. What is forbidden is precisely what attracts them.

Scorpio is often labelled as the sexual sign of the zodiac, although Taurus is a far more physical sign than Scorpio, but Scorpio can take sexuality to a different level, beyond the physical.

Once a Scorpio has firmly decided what he wants to do, nothing, but nothing will deflect him from attaining his goals. Scorpio's sense of commitment and determination are second to none.
Famous Scorpios include the late Roy Scheider, Charles Bronson, Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Grace Kelly, Charles De Gaulle, François Mitterand, Theodore Roosevelt, Albert Camus, Johan Strauss, Marie-Curie and Marie-Antoinette.

Keywords: Intensity, Passion, Secrecy and Regeneration.

Scorpio Quote: 'We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained'. Marie Curie

Your ruling planet, Pluto, was 'Hades', the 'God of the Underworld' in Greek mythology, representative of depth psychology, the unconscious, sex, death and rebirth, and all forms of uncontrolled power. Secretive and mysterious, you are extremely energetic and courageous in the extreme, your determination gives you great power of self-denial. You have a sharp, analytical and penetrating mind, which draws you to dig out 'what lies beneath' the surface, probe into 'hidden things' and 'bring them to light'. Intense, passionate and loyal, you have powerful emotions and feelings running at a very deep level. Such intensity wrongly directed can cause havoc, and like the Scorpio, you may show a sting in your tail. At worse, you can be manipulative, vindictive, or even destructive. You have powerful power of attractions, which you may use to your own ends, helping you in gaining power. Life - both private and professional - is lived to the full, with a strong sense of commitment, passion and intensity to everything that you do.
