The Zodiac - Scorpio

Pluto, and Mars, Rulers of Scorpio

The ruling planet of your personal chart is the one that rules your Rising Sign.

However, if Scorpio is your Sun Sign, its ruler, Pluto, will also play an important role in your psychology.

Pluto

Pluto Lord of the Underworld, governs the unconscious mind, as well as hidden riches. Secrets, intense emotions,
soul truths and sudden endings and beginnings are also ruled by mysterious Pluto, the most recently discovered
and most distant of the planets. It gives magnetism and an almost X-ray insight into others' motives. Its position
at birth shows where change and soul growth can occur.

Because it is the furthest planet from the Sun, Pluto takes so long to travel through one zodiac sign that you share
its influence by sign with your whole generation, as you do with Uranus and Neptune.

Mars, the Ancient Ruler of Scorpio

The god of action and of war, portrayed with helmet, shield and sword, Mars rules strength, courage, leadership,
decisiveness and sexuality, as well as rashness and aggression. The wolf and the woodpecker were sacred to Mars.
The dynamic 'red planet' which belongs to him stands between us and the outer solar system.

The fiery and dynamic planet, Mars, rules your will power, sexuality and drive. Its sign and house position, as well
as the links it makes to other planets, show your energy and motivation. It is the action planet, revealing where,
and how, you are assertive, as well as your courage - and aggression. It also rules your sex drive and your general
libido.

In a woman's chart it shows what kind of man she is drawn to.

In a man's chart it also describes his type of masculinity.
