The Scorpion — Fixed Water Sign
Scorpio is the eighth zodiac sign — fixed water, ruled traditionally by Mars and in modern astrology co-ruled by Pluto. It represents depth, intensity, transformation, hidden power, sexuality, and the cycle of death and rebirth. Scorpio energy does not stay on the surface — it drives toward the core of everything it encounters. In your chart, the house Scorpio occupies shows where you experience the most profound transformation and where power, secrets, and depth operate.
