As if this permanent water sign couldn’t get much more peculiar than it already is, it also happens to have not one, but two ruling planets. While Scorpio isn’t the only zodiac sign with several planetary rulers (Taurus, Aquarius, and Pisces also have many planetary rulers), it’s crucial to recognize Mars and Pluto’s irrefutable power.
Mars is the planet of action, aggression, fight, energy, passion, sex, and war, and it is Scorpio’s ancient ruler. Pluto is known as the Lord of the Underworld in Greek mythology, but in astrology, it is the planet of death, regeneration, metamorphosis, and everything beneath the surface. Before the discovery of Pluto, Mars served as Scorpio’s planetary ruler.
Scorpio’s mystifying yet intoxicatingly passionate celestial attitude is a perfect mix of hyperactive Mars and mesmerizing Pluto, despite their inherent differences. Scorpio’s fiercely driven spirit and carnal appetites are governed by Mars, while its deeply buried nature, psychic talents, and obsessive mentality are governed by Pluto, according to their unique planetary expressions.

What ruling house is Scorpio?
Scorpio and Pluto are the rulers of the eighth house (in astrology, Pluto is still a planet). The eighth house is a mystical sector that governs the deepest levels of birth, death, sex, metamorphosis, secrets, fused energies, and connection. Other people’s property and money are ruled by the eighth house, which includes real estate, inheritances, and investments. It’s been dubbed the house of sex, death, and taxes in the past.
What is a Scorpios power?
Scorpios are masters of strategy, which is why they frequently acquire what they want without anyone even noticing that they desired it in the first place. While their persuasion skills may come across as manipulative or Machiavellian, they can be put to good advantage. Scorpios are skilled in appealing to people’s emotions, which aids them in making their points. They can persuade individuals to do just about anything they want by combining their deep emotional intelligence with their obvious appeal.
Who should a Scorpio marry?
Scorpio, as a zodiac sign, is notorious for being a difficult nut to crack when it comes to love and relationships. Treat them properly, and they’ll be the most honest and faithful partners you’ve ever had, but make one mistake, and you’ll lose their affection forever. They have a lot of clarity in their heads and expect their spouses to have the same clarity. They despise wishy-washy lovers and revere those who know where their heart and head are at all times.
Scorpions are conventional when it comes to relationships, preferring personal and committed alliances over a casual one-night encounter. Not to mention how extremely devoted they are and make terrific romantic companions. They are also incredibly passionate, in addition to these features. As a result, the partners they seek are those who will not bore them or who can gain their trust and commitment.
Let’s have a look at the five zodiac signs that go well with a Scorpion now. Scorpio is most compatible with the signs Taurus, Cancer, Capricorn, Pisces, and Virgo.
Even though the Taurus-Scorpio combination can be challenging for a relationship, if you can make it work, you’ll be able to make it last for a long time. Scorpio and Taurus are pole opposites in the zodiac, which makes them both fascinated and frustrated by each other! Scorpions admire Taureans for their stability, dependability, and total trustworthiness. They are, without a doubt, tremendously passionate and emotional partners with excellent sexual chemistry.
Scorpios and Cancerians are both emotional, possessive, perceptive, and emotional. As a result, theirs is mostly a whirlwind relationship in which both parties place a high importance on commitment. This couple is regarded as one of the best in the zodiac!
Virgo and Scorpio have quite different personalities. Scorpions, with their powerful personalities, may be daunting to Virgos, who can be cautious and introverted. Scorpions want to be in charge of their relationships, and with Virgo, they may easily do this.
The values and objectives of Capricorn and Scorpio are similar. They are both hardworking, goal-oriented individuals who place a high emphasis on safety. While Capricorn is renowned for being less emotionally available than a Scorpion, they are able to express their feelings due to the ease with which they can communicate.
Scorpio and Pisces are known to be a zodiac sign combination made in heaven. Others may be envious of this relationship since they connect on such a deep and gratifying level. Despite the fact that they are both incredibly possessive, this can be exploited to improve the relationship.
What is a Scorpio’s color?
Scorpio: The magical aura of this sign is embodied by the color scarlet. Purple, maroon, bottle green, and crimson with a hint of black are your favorites. Pale colors and pastel tints are not your style.
Which stone suits Scorpio?
Scorpio is the zodiac’s eighth sign. Topaz is the birthstone for Scorpio. Topaz comes in a variety of colors, but the Yellow Topaz is the finest choice for people born under the sign of Scorpio. Topaz is a stone that represents empathy and tranquility. Scorpios are born on the 23rd of October and the 22nd of November. Scorpio’s ruling planet is Pluto or Mars, and its element is water.
What does Mars in Scorpio want?
Actually, I’ll go one step beyond… Scorpio is my favorite zodiac sign. I relate with it, I want for it, and I deliberately seek out the intensity of sensation and feeling that it brings.
It’s logical. My Mars has arrived. Also, with the exception of Saturn, almost every other planet in my horoscope hits Pluto in some way, giving the whole affair a Scorpio flavor.
My husband, father, and a handful of best friends all have the Sun or Moon in Scorpio, so I’m surrounded by it. I sometimes get the impression that I’m drawn to them—and they to me.
Scorpio, like Pluto, frightens a lot of people. It can seem ominous, with darker corners leading to areas you don’t want to view, think about, or admit.
It’s difficult to discuss Scorpio planets without mentioning sex, jealousy, retribution, control, power, and absolute truth. It’s especially difficult to write about Mars in Scorpio without bringing up these issues. So I’m not going to try.
I’m not going to try to explain away the unwavering desire, steadfast willpower, controlled self-sufficiency, and great hunger that come with this assignment.
Mars is about how we establish ourselves and how we go about attaining what we desire for all of us. It also has to do with our energy levels. You’re especially driven while Mars is in Scorpio, not by a thought, but by a want. Emotional power is linked to your objectives and channeled into exerting yourself and obtaining or attaining what you desire.
Due to the fact that Scorpio is a fixed sign, her energy is one of endurance. His internal reservoirs of energy are immense, and his desires are steadfast. He is unconcerned about the time it takes. While Mars in Aries will rapidly tire himself and move on, Mars in Scorpio is in it for the long haul and will budget his energy in a more controlled manner to ensure that it lasts as long as possible.
Mars has a lot to say about what motivates us to get out of bed in the morning (as well as what gets us in there the night before). Mars in Scorpio, like the other Mars-ruled sign, Aries, enjoys a good challenge.
Whereas Mars in Aries will hunt down his prey (in a sense), Mars in Scorpio will entice them to him—it can be like a tremendous magnetized forcefield.
Mars in Scorpio, unlike Mars in Aries, will not rush off to the next conquest as soon as he has landed his prey; instead, he will stay and make sure that what he has won is completely his.
Mars in Scorpio is formidable in a professional sense, as well as ideally suited to any sports activity requiring focus and stamina.
In Scorpio, Mars’ powers are also some of his worst flaws. His demand for privacy, secrecy, self-defense, and control may prevent him from openly expressing himself. He is averse to change and slow to trust, with a paranoid streak. They are the essence of the strong, silent type—and, if you’re drawn to them, extremely sexy.
Mars in Scorpio may decide not to pursue something he believes in because he believes that doing so would give someone else control. Instead, he’ll either wait till the circumstance can be managed to his advantage, or he’ll miss out completely. Cutting his nose off to spite his face, as my mother would say.
Scorpio is the sign of sex. Mars is associated with sex, desires, and desire. What do you get when you combine the two? To know someone who is insane, wicked, and dangerous? Possibly…
The issue is, while physical passion is important to Mars in Scorpio, it isn’t the only factor. It’s all about hunger, those deep-seated desires…and it’s all about pure spirit.
This isn’t sex in the conventional 5th house sense of having fun, but rather sex in the classic 8th house sense of having the capacity to transform your life and experience something very meaningful. It’s about the physical merging of bodies and emotional intensity. It can be a bit (or a lot) ominous, compulsive, or obsessive. La tiny mort indeed.
Mars represents masculinity and strength in a man’s chart, as well as how he might go about impressing a potential spouse.
Mars in Scorpio is not a flirtatious sign. He wants all of her, forever and ever, when he wants something (or someone). It can be really attractive if you’re inclined in that direction. It can be uncomfortable, to say the least, if you’re not used to it. You know you’re in trouble when Scorpio Mars looks you down.
While Venus tells you your relationship style and what you find appealing and makes you feel good, Mars’ sign is frequently transferred into the type of partner she falls in love with entirely, swinging back and forth in her chart.
With Mars in Scorpio, she could be attracted to males who have the Sun, Moon, Venus, or Mars in Scorpio, or who have one or more of these planets in the 8th house or in close proximity to Pluto. If you’re susceptible, there’s nothing on the planet that compares to the magnetic pull of a Scorpio-influenced man. (Men with Venus or the Moon in Scorpio have a similar effect on women with Scorpio personal planets.)
When dealing with emotions as intense as those of Scorpio, safety is important. You never tell them how you truly feel while Mars is in Scorpio; this leaves you vulnerable and under someone else’s control…even if a part of you wants to succumb to a little of it. If they truly liked or desired you, they would want to learn everything there is to know about you. You want someone who is willing to go above and above. You want someone who will expose their flaws to you, as self-contained as you are. That is the Scorpio conundrum.
Allowing them to know how much you want them exposes you to rejection. Whether you don’t tell them, you’ll be the only one who knows if you’ve been rejected. Naturally, the risk of rejection is much higher because the level of encouragement is much lower. Doesn’t make sense, does it? To Scorpio Mars, it does.
You may believe that you would sell your soul for complete control, but the truth is that if you had it, you would be bored…and seeking for a new challenge.
Mars in Scorpio necessitates integrity, honesty, and fidelity because he craves so deeply. There are no grey regions. This is a no-holds-barred, deal-breaking, black-and-white situation.
He despises being played, despite the fact that he is a brilliant manipulator and game player. If he thinks you’re fooling around, he’ll wait until you make a mistake. Once you’ve lost his trust, you’ve lost it for good.
If he thinks you’re hiding something, he’ll dig until he finds it- until he gets to the bottom… and until he has proof to back up what he already believes. He can find control and power over the outcome in the data.
Finding out about your treachery through a third party is his worst nightmare scenario, as it jeopardizes not only his trust, but also his sense of power. This could lead him into shadowy area. That’s a place where vengeance fantasies are allowed to run wild.
Mars in Scorpio isn’t a sign that makes it easy to make friends thereafter. It’s a case of all or nothing. Sure, he’ll hold out for a little longer, but once he realizes it’s done, he’ll cut cleanly and totally. It’s as if it never occurred. It’s as though you never existed. Total obliteration.
All of this appears to be really stressful. Yes, it is. Your Mars in Scorpio mate is irresistible- and well worth the effort- if you are so inclined- when Mars in this sign is used well. When Mars in Scorpio is in balance, the desire to control is replaced by a desire to commit—and with it, a lifetime of loyalty. I should know because I am one, married to one, and it is what I seek.
Does this describe you? If you’re a Scorpio man or a man with a Scorpio Moon, you might be nodding hesitantly. If Mars is conjunct, square, or opposing Pluto, you may be irritated by my revealing your secrets.
If you have Mars in Scorpio, but this isn’t you, what are your options? Remember, when I write these, I’m writing about the archetype—energy in its purest form—unaffected by outside factors. Examine what other planets are in opposition to your Mars; these will either soften or exacerbate it.
If you have Mars in Scorpio, as I do, you’ll be on the verge of your Mars return, a re-boot of everything Mars.
For the rest of us, see what aspects of your life Scorpio rules in your horoscope. This is where you’ll gain a bit extra oomph, focus, energy, and drive…you’ll go after what you really want with zeal and dedication…
Because Mars goes retrograde between April and June, he will spend the majority of the year in only two signs: Scorpio and Sagittarius. As the dates approach, we’ll have more to say about it.
Does Pluto rule Scorpio?
Pluto is Hades, the Scorpio ruling planet. If you’re familiar with Greek mythology, you’re probably aware of the connection between Hades and Pluto. If you aren’t aware, Hades is the deity of the underworld. That explains why Pluto (the ruling planet of Scorpio) is linked to death and transformation.
What is Mars in Scorpio attracted to?
The female with Mars in Scorpio is roused by a man with a compelling personality. She is drawn to males who are ardent and passionate, usually those who are quiet and moody.
