Scorpio is the eighth sign of zodiac, lasting from approximately 24 October to approximately 22 November.
Most Scorpios have an intense emotional nature. No other sign of the zodiac has more profound and enduring feelings than Scorpio. Pluto people possess a strong sense of purpose, and treat life in a very serious way, with great determination - never doing thing by halves. Usually, they work and play hard, and live life to the full. They concentrate fiercely on their objectives; they are highly imaginative, subtle, disguising their feelings and it is difficult to penetrate their outer shell.
Scorpio's powerful feelings can be directed into various different areas in life. For many, this will concern their personal life, for others, career or business takes high priority, with an obsession to reach a certain goal. With an analytical mind, capable of penetrating to the very depths of problems, their reasoning is usually right. They have a natural talent for disguising their feelings and it is difficult to penetrate their outer shell. Scorpio will not compromise, nor accept defeat. Pluto subjects can be very jealous, and often spiteful towards those who stand in their way. They can also be secretive, devious and suspicious. These qualities can apply not only to career, but to close relationships and worldly ambitions.
At the same time, people born under this sign have a great ability to adapt to life's changes, and can accept milestones, turning points or crossroads, willingly leaving one path for another should circumstances demand this. They have the strength and determination to pick up the pieces and start all over again when it is necessary. There is a strange mysticism and magnetism in the Scorpio personality, often to be seen in their eyes, which seem to delve into one's very soul. Scorpios can burn with anger and resentment if their principles are put to the test. Make a friend of a Pluto person and you have a friend for life; on the other hand - as an enemy, they can be most formidable.
Once they form an opinion - whether it concerns a person or an ideal - the fixate of Scorpio is paramount, and they will rarely, if ever, change their minds. In the Age of Aquarius, Scorpio could become highly involved with big business, with scientific research projects of importance, especially those that call for the deep analytical skill of the Scorpio mind.
