About Scorpio Energy

Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac, entering the mid-autumn death-and-rebirth cycle of nature. Co-ruled by Pluto (transformation, truth) and Mars (drive, passion), Scorpio explores the hidden depths of human experience, power dynamics, and emotional truth. As a Fixed Water sign, Scorpio possesses concentrated emotional power and unwavering determination. Scorpios possess penetrating intuition and can detect insincerity instantly. They are not interested in small talk or superficialities; they want to understand what makes souls tick. Fearless in the face of taboo or crisis, Scorpios undergo profound personal metamorphoses throughout life, rising like the Phoenix.
