Scorpio can be best characterized by its intense, passionate, emotional
nature. Scorpio has two symbols, the scorpion and the eagle. This is
because Scorpio often experiences the polarity of the lowest of the
low, and the highest of the high.
When a Scorpio learns a
lesson, they learn it at the very core of their being. There may be
lessons in jealousy, envy, right use of power, and the transformation
called death.
Scorpios make excellent detectives, knowing who is
telling the truth or hiding a secret. At the same time, a Scorpio with
a healthy attitude can keep your secret. They help you through issues
of emotional abuse, listen non-judgmentally to your dark thoughts, or
counsel you through the grieving process.
Many jokes have been
made about Scorpio's sexual prowess. Intense energy combined with deep
emotion certainly lends itself to the birth cycle!
Scorpio's
spiritual task is to be what might be called a world disciplinarian.
They see energy being used that is not in harmony with the cosmic flow
of the Universe, and then they speak up to put the situation or person
in order. To do this in a non-manipulative way, they must be vibrating
at a high soul frequency that is represented by the eagle.
Scorpio rules sex, death, and taxes. It rules dentists, reproductive organs, and venereal diseases.
Scorpio Jewelry and Gifts
The Eighth House, Life, Death & Money
 The Eighth House, ruled by Scorpio, represents birth, death, deep emotional connection, fears, and inheritances. The astrology joke is that the eighth house rules sex, taxes, and death - a fertile ground for fears and obsessions!
The Eighth House is also where we merge with something greater than
ourselves. In sex, you merge with another such that two becomes one.
With taxes, you merge with the collective unconscious of what USA
readers might call the great Uncle Sam tax god. In death, you go beyond
all boundaries and merge with Oneness. In a relationship, the eighth
house talks about how you share your body, your time, your possessions,
and so forth with your partner.
It represents your partner's income, accounting, insurance, and
financial planning. Depending on the planets you have in this house, it
may indicate steady income, or constant windfalls and debts.
Emotionally, this area is ruled by the planet Pluto (death,
obsessive-compulsiveness, power, regeneration, elimination). The eighth
house is where you go into the swamps of those intangible fears. The
eighth house helps you to get in touch with the deepest feelings that
you carry below the surface.
Pluto
 Pluto is the Ruling Planet of Scorpio, meaning that its energy reflects the same type of energy as the Zodiac sign. Pluto is one of the planets that make astrologers shudder because it represents our deepest darkest subconsious, and is considered somewhat malefic.
Dark red in color and consisting mostly of ice, Pluto exasperates
astronomers as well. Its orbit is eccentric; instead of traveling in a
circle like the other planets, its orbit is oval, and is sometimes
closer to the sun than Neptune. And is it a planet or not? While we've
been taught for decades that Pluto is our planet farthest from the Sun,
it was recently declassified and is now considered an asteroid instead!
Astrologers continue to consider it a planet when doing interpretation.
According to mooncatsastrology.com,
Pluto is "raw energy... cataclysm, disaster and annihilation, as well
as ecstasy, monetary windfalls, revolution, rebirth and renewal. He
represents what we both fear and desire - the cycle of life, death and
rebirth, the secrets of the universe, the occult mysteries, the
explosive interplays between men and women, the miracles of life."
Pluto is a higher octave of the aggressive planet Mars. When Pluto
transits a planet in your chart, you may experience a cataclysmic
transformation, a death to life as you knew it!
Just keep in mind that you are always growing and changing. No
matter how stressful, Pluto's influence remains one of transformation.

Top Five Astro-Events for October
By WolfStar, NeptuneCafe
1. Saturn trines the U.S. Pluto on the 8th as transiting Pluto forms a trioctile to the U.S. MC on the 24th. This double influence indicates that American power and status is being forcefully deployed around the world. All month long, watch for metamorphic shifts in economic, political and military forums in accordance with U.S. leadership.
2. Transiting Uranus is trioctile the U.S. Scorpio Ascendant all month, and is exact on the 14th. The prominence of the Uranian vibe in October suggests volatility in the stock market along with radically shifting changes in the national health care plan. Look for surprising developments in technology, an increase in paranormal experiences, and a rapidly escalating international crisis, probably about Iran.
3. Mars enters Leo with a bang on the 14th by making a quincunx to Pluto. Mars will remain in Leo until June 2010 since it enters its retrograde cycle in this sign. Through the end of this month Mars and the Sun will be in a close square pattern, creating a confrontational atmosphere. Ultimatums, arguments, and open hostility will be the norm.
4. Saturn enters Libra on the 29th, beginning a three-year phase emphasizing the value of relationships, diplomacy, and civility in human discourse. In the American political theater, Saturn is returning to its natal place, where it has taught politicians the importance of cooperation and compromise. A wave of reconciliation with the rest of the world is just beginning.
5. The Sun and Ceres are conjunct on the 31st while also conjunct the U.S. Scorpio Ascendant, perhaps indicating a breakthrough in health care reform legislation following contentious debates (square Mars). Also possible is a national sense of mourning: prominent Ceres suggests a major rescue or first aid operation following some emergency or catastrophe. Watch what your children eat on Halloween.
