Planet: Pluto

Pluto's energy may be subtle, but its results will hit you like a ton of bricks. This Planet is about transformation, regeneration and rebirth. Things aren't pretty with Pluto, but they do get done. Pluto says 'out with the old and in with the new,' and we'd better be ready for it. If we're not, this Planet will simply have us wallow in our misery. Pluto asks us to transcend that which we know, redeem ourselves in the process, and come out stronger as a result.

As children, Scorpios seem to be wise beyond their years, sometimes called ‘old souls.’ Old and wise beyond average, Scorpios often have all the answers, they also often have trouble finding what they need to be happy.


Passion, desire and power go hand in hand for Scorpios. The biggest challenge is life is often the choice between the love of power and the power of love. They can be extraordinarily deep emotionally, which is sometimes hard to handle for those around them. Different from all other signs, they live, love, and work to a different beat. Scorpio often wears a mask to hide their true selves, and you can live with one for years without ever really knowing them. Scorpio can be very faithful in love and relationships, but have a bad falling out with one, and it is more than likely that they wont forgive.


Scorpio loves winning, but they have to worry about their attitude, which can make or break them. There are 3 levels of self evolution for a Scorpio. The first is the Scorpion, the least evolved, and most drawn to using their powers the wrong way. This is where the criminal element of Scorpio can happen. After the scorpion is the eagle, which is successful and highflying. This level for a Scorpio is able to rise above adversity and change bad times into good. The highest level of self evolution is the Phoenix. A Scorpio who has reached this level is detached and very powerful. They are wise and act as leaders to others. Often, a Scorpio will go through all levels in their life, not always in sequential order.
