Scorpio is the 8th sign of the zodiac. Scorpio is a fixed sign, it's a water sign. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto although it also has, or in the pre-Pluto days, been ruled by Mars. The water side of Scorpio shows it's about emotions, it's about how you feel, and the fixed sign means that you have to feel the same, you have to offer them consistency. This is why Scorpios are so intense, so passionate, so honest and so absolutely ruthless against people who are hypocrites. Pluto is the God of the Underworld: Scorpio doesn't need things nice, it needs things honest and true. It needs you to pay the price for your actions: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. That is why some people find Scorpio ruthless. You'll either find Scorpios wonderfully, wonderfully honest or you'll find them downright scary.
