♏️ You've got Scorpio in your chart and I wanna teach you how to understand that magnetic, transformative, psychological and healing energy of yours AND what it reveals about your life's purpose.

🤓 Even if you don't have a single planet or your rising sign in Scorpio, you have Scorpio occupying one of the houses in your chart.

❤️‍🔥 If Scorpio falls into one of your career houses (2nd, 6th or 10th or MC), the planetary ruler of any of your career houses is in Scorpio, your north or south node is in Scorpio, Mars or Pluto is in one of your career houses OR your moon or rising sign (AC) is Scorpio, pay close attention because you're on this planet to experience metaphorical death, rebirth and transformation over and over again in your life.

Not sure and wanna know ALL the things about your purpose? Book a Purpose Astrology Reading with me.

Reminder: I practice astrology using the Whole Sign house system, which means every sign occupies one of the 12 houses in your chart.

If you use Placidus or another house system based on the angles in your chart, you might have some signs that don't have any house cusps (aka intercepted) and other signs that have 2 or more.

I invite you to take a peek at your chart in Whole Signs to see how it resonates and then choose the one that feels most true to you and your life experiences.

🦂 If you're ready to learn all about Scorpio, its struggles and superpowers and how you can use it to live your life's purpose, let's dive in.

 

🧐 Let's get to know Scorpio

♏️ Scorpio is the eighth sign in the zodiac.

Quality: It is a fixed sign, which means it comes in the middle of a season. Fixed energy is the energy of perfecting what's already been initiated. 

Element: It is a water sign, which means it's emotional. Water signs are emotional, intuitive and healing.

🥰 Scorpio's supportive expressions: transformative, magnetic, healing, investigative, truthful, passionate, powerful and deeply psychic

🤪 Scorpio's sabotaging expressions: jealous, possessive, extreme, obsessive, suspicious, paranoid and manipulative

Planetary Rulers: Mars (traditional) + Pluto (modern)

Planets in ScorpioEach planet behaves differently in different signs.

Check your chart to see which planets you have in Scorpio ♏️. Then, scroll down to read all about how that planet acts in Scorpio AND how that supports you aligning with your life's purpose.

Also...any aspects to a planet (lines on your chart connecting it with another planet) flavor that planet's expression, so if you feel less Scorpio-like, this may be why.

☉ Sun: The Sun signifies ego, core sense of self and your greatest expression of purpose. It lets you know what you need to feel satisfied + fulfilled in life.

With your Sun in Scorpio, you are a magnetic, mysterious and healing presence for others.

You derive great satisfaction from understanding the way others think. You need to know their hidden motives and demand the truth.

You're here to be an invitation to healing and transformation for others.

People will either be inexplicably drawn to you or they will feel repelled by your powerful presence...and none of it has all that much to do with you.

☾ Moon: The Moon signifies emotions and intuition. It lets you know what you need to feel safe + secure to do your purpose work out in the world.

The Moon hates being in Scorpio. It's at its fall here. The Moon represents the mother, home and family, while Scorpio represents all that is deep, dark and taboo.

With your Moon in Scorpio, your emotions are intense and passionate. You feel things deeply and this includes your intuition.

You're highly psychic and deeply connected to death and the dead.

To feel safe and secure in the world, you want to understand everything and everyone. You need to find the ultimate truth. You might even try to control people and circumstances to feel safe.

Use your intuition to guide you on your purpose path, more than you use your logical mind. You have a built in radar and when something is right or wrong for you, you feel it deeply.

Trust yourself. Trust your BS detector. Trust the way something or someone feels.

☿ Mercury: Mercury is the planet of thought and communication. 

With your Mercury in Scorpio, your mind is DEEEP and readily goes places others find too scary. 

You have the gift to communicate and hold space for things that others see as too controversial or taboo. 

People can share their most private thoughts and experiences with you without feeling judged or like they have to worry about you and your reaction.

Use your gift to make others feel safe, seen and witnessed in their scariest, most raw or traumatic experiences to provide healing and transformation.

♂Mars: Mars is the planet of action, courage and bravery. 

Mars likes to be in Scorpio. It's at home. Mars and Scorpio are both focused, passionate and driven to take action on their deepest desires.

With your Mars in Scorpio, you're motivated to investigate and get to the bottom of anything you feel passionate about. You can't get enough and can even become obsessive, at times.

Use your passion as motivation to drive you forward on your purpose mission. If you're not passionate, your motivation will disappear.

When you find yourself doing things that don't ignite your passion, find other ways to stoke that fire within you, so you don't give up and move on before the task is complete.

♀Venus: Venus is the planet of money, harmony, relationships and beauty.

Venus doesn't like being in Scorpio. It's at its detriment here. Venus wants something lighter, like money or beauty. Scorpio wants something deeper, like intimacy and truth.

With your Venus in Scorpio, you crave true intimacy in relationships. You want your partner to bare their soul to you and show their most vulnerable side.

Because Venus also represents money and love, you could make money and really love doing purpose work that involves things like occult practices, healing arts, psychology, intimacy, death, investigation, research, transformation, trauma healing and sexuality.

♃ Jupiter: Jupiter is the planet of opportunity, success and expansion.

With your Jupiter in Scorpio, the taboo things in life feel like adventure to you. 

Truth is integrity for you and when you're not aligned with your truth you feel out of sorts and disconnected from the most authentic parts of yourself.

As you heal and transform yourself, opportunities to align with your purpose work and create success become magnetic to you.

♄ Saturn: Saturn is the planet of discipline, responsibility and hard work.

With your Saturn in Scorpio, you need supportive structures to tend to your mental health and well-being.

It's important that you seek out opportunities to heal and transform, as though it's your job. Saturn demands discipline from you and if you're unwilling to show up and do this work, Saturn will bring challenges, limitations and delays, to ensure you do it.

Once you heal and transform yourself, you will have the embodied wisdom to be seen as an authority for others in your purpose work.

♅ Uranus: Uranus is the planet of change, disruption and innovation. 

Uranus loves being in Scorpio. It's exalted here. Uranus and Scorpio love to go beyond all things surface into the depths and far reaches of the human experience.

With Uranus in Scorpio, you are an innovator in all things Scorpio, such as occult practices, healing arts, psychology, intimacy, death, investigation, research, transformation, trauma healing and sexuality.

You see things in a new and forward thinking way, which can benefit all humans. Be willing to be a rebel and disruptive force to serve the betterment of the human experience.

♆ Neptune: Neptune is the planet of spirituality, fantasy, compassion and unconditional love.

With your Neptune in Scorpio, you are highly psychic and intuitive. You're deeply sensitive to the more subversive and scary side of humanity. You have great compassion that can be a healing and unitive force for all humans.

Be sure to take care of your tender heart and tend to your own healing, first and foremost.

♇ Pluto: Pluto is the planet of transformation and energy alchemy.

Pluto likes being in Scorpio. It's at home here. Pluto and Scorpio are both investigative, transformative and magnetic.

With your Pluto in Scorpio, you are here to be a transformative and healing presence on this planet. 

Tend to your mental health and well-being. Do mindset work to overcome your fears, extreme thoughts, jealousy and intensity, so you can become a powerful manifester of your deepest desires and dreams.

Your thoughts tend to focus on people's ulterior motives, all things taboo, extreme perspectives and power dynamics.
