The Scorpio, is the second sign of the Water triplicity and it is the eighth tropical zodiac sign.
This sign is very powerful, but also a secretive sign and it is ruled by Mars (action; passion) but now it is also considered to be ruled by Pluto (obstruction; transformation; regeneration). The key phrase for the Scorpio is "I desire".
The Symbols for Scorpio are the scorpion, a ground-dwelling killer with a poisonous sting in its tail and the eagle, a far-seeing predator soaring above petty problems into the spiritual
sky. Scorpio's real involvement is not primarily based on love or even pleasure, but on the control and understanding of human emotions and the role they play in the mysterious processes of life and death.
Though Scorpio natives may not spend their lives pondering the mysteries of life and death, they are inquisitive and probing, fascinated with how things and people work. Mental and physical powers of recuperation are remarkable - and truly evolved (eagle) Scorpios can learn to use their power to help and inspire others.
Scorpio characteristically seeks to uncover the truth or to transform raw materials into things of great power and beauty. Relationships are not exempt from this probing, so anyone involved with the Scorpio type must prepare for profound changes in themselves, their mysterious partner and the relationship itself.
Secret Parts ruled by Scorpio
Each sign has an external, internal and structural ruler ship. Externally, Scorpio rules the nose and nasal bones, the pubic area and genital organs. Internally, it rules the gonads, hemoglobin, bladder, prostate, descending colon, sigmoid flexure and rectum. It has influence over the vocal cords and larynx. Structurally it rules the pubic bones, os sacrum, coccyx and nasal bones. This sign also influences the thymus and thyroid glands,
liver, uterus, menstruation, sweat glands and the endocrine glands in general.
Scorpio rules the excretory system and the reproductive organs , so those with Scorpio active in their charts suffer headaches, infections and fevers, along with various illnesses to do with what used to be called the secret parts.
