Scorpio is the 8th sign of the zodiac, and its ruling planet is Pluto.

If there is one word that best sums up the Scorpio personality, it’s intensity. They love power and passion, and the quickest way to make them leave is to be bland or boring. While they may not necessarily seek a traditional leadership role, a Scorpio is naturally dominant and has a way of taking charge of things. They can reinvent themselves like no other sign, being ruled by the planet Pluto, that rules birth, death and regeneration. They may come across a bit icy, but rest assured there’s plenty of fire below the surface, and plenty of secrets they may never reveal. Naturally curious, they excel at careers involving investigating or solving great mysteries in medicine, such as Scorpio Marie Curie.
