Scorpio

Scorpio, the eighth sign, represents transformation, death, and rebirth. Ruled by Pluto (and traditionally Mars), it is the most intense sign of the zodiac, dealing with the taboo, the hidden, and the profound depths of the human psyche. Scorpios are Fixed Water, meaning their emotions are deep, enduring, and powerful. They seek intimacy and truth at any cost, often acting as natural psychologists. While they are fiercely loyal, their shadow side involves possessiveness, paranoia, and a desire for control to prevent betrayal. The Scorpio path is one of constant metamorphosis, learning to release their tight grip on power and trust in the regenerative flow of life.
