The Sign of the Scorpion in Scorpio Horoscope

In the past, Astrologers assigned the planet Mars to rule the 8th house in the Zodiac.

In modern Astrology, Pluto has overtaken Mars in its predominance to rule the sign of Scorpio.

Another peculiarity assigned to Scorpio is its double sign, the Eagle.

A Scorpio horoscope checked on a monthly basis reveals Scorpio's opposing natures - they are ready to take action but are difficult to assign tasks to.

A Scorpio horoscope reveals those born under this sign as the silent strategists who wait before they pounce.

Therefore, they have the rigid will-power to wait things out once they have decided they want something, and they always want power, but behind the throne. 

This sheer willpower is also their downfall because they are inflexible.

Although they long for power, the Scorpio is not materialistic, nor are they ceremonious.

They prefer to be the unseen power orchestrating the leadership. He does not aspire for power or fame and is willing to serve those he has pledged to serve.

Revenge is another name of the Scorpio. Avoid a vengeful Scorpio. Scorpios do not rest until they have collected their due.

A Scorpio horoscope frequently admonishes that they should cool their heels before taking any drastic action. 

Ruled by the element of water, they are seductive, passionate in love, and in everything that takes up their interests.

They are ready to take on challenges that will nurture their growth.

On the negative side, they can be intensely moody, overly possessive, and are prone to fits of jealousy; this can be gleaned from their horoscope. Scorpio women are feared for their intensity, yet revered for their beauty.  

Jealousy and possessiveness make The Scorpio incompatible with Taurus; their aggressiveness will defeat their effort to tie up with an Arian.

If a Virgo has to deal with a Scorpio, he/she must bend some conventions to get in the latter's good graces. Woe to anybody who stirs up a Scorpio in his home ground.

They can be violent. Take up that Scorpio horoscope for the date before dealing with them.

A Scorpio horoscope does not mince words to say that a Scorpio does not go to any lengths to please people they do not like.

Even to friends, they can be brutally frank and critical, but they are not the type to stab you behind your back. Give the Scorpio the credit for his efforts to bring out the best in people.   

Ask them to make a judgment, they can pass one well after careful thought and analysis of the facts presented to them.

Since they are focused, they can achieve their goals, but they fail to miss the small details that matter.

They are ready to work anytime, even if it literally means that they have to dirty their hands or go on their knees. Their sense of purpose is a driving force that enables them to take pressure without breaking down.  

Those under the Scorpio sign do not fall in love easily, but once they do, they love deeply and faithfully.

Lucky are those they love and marry for the Scorpio man and woman love their families best.
