Scorpio October 23-November 21 Scorpios attempt to achieve full power in social roles. This could be a dominant force in the family, workplace, or reaching the peak of their creative achievement. Ruled by Pluto, they are powerful, dark, and fateful. The co-rulership of Mars make Scorpios direct, and agressive at times. When their emotions get out of control, it happens violently and often with sarcasm and intended for revenge. Scorpios are often serious, and hardworking. They approach everything with intensity and passion, always giving 100%. Many born under this sign become workaholics. Scorpios are naturaly secretive and hide their emotions, which makes it hard for others to detect their personality. It is very hard for them to share their inner feelings with anyone. They need to be aware of tendencies toward self destructive and overly controlling behavior, addiction, and attachments to either people or ideas.
