 It is the Scorpio
 |  |  The ruler of Scorpio is Pluto.
          Prior to the discovery of the
          ninth planet, Scorpio was ruled by Mars, which is still considered co-ruler.
          The sign of cosmic purpose, Scorpio is considered to be the success
          sign. Self contained and self centered,
          concentrated Scorpios usually succeed in whatever they set out to accomplish. Personal Traits Scorpions are known for their
          intense and powerful natures. They
          are willful, proud and calm with an electrifying undercurrent of seething
          intensity. Purposeful and animated with force, they project a magnetic
          personality. Scorpio does nothing in half measures. An all or nothing
          attitude permeates their entire life. When fixed on something or someone,
          the scorpion perseveres. Scorpio never settles. Life is meant to be
          lived to the fullest or not at all. Scorpio will rarely be found in
          the center of activity, but will always know just what is going on of
          concern to him. Their tenacity and willpower
          are enviable, their depth of character
          and passionate conviction admirable, but it is their deep sensitivity
          that makes them the best and most loyal friend. This same quality makes
          them the most treacherous of enemies.  When they harness their
          abundant energy constructively, their self-confidence tempered with
          shrewdness, and their ambition coupled with generosity toward others,
          they excel at whatever they undertake. Scorpios are demanding of others,
          but never ask someone to do what they would not do themselves. They
          can be fanatically focused and work till they drop.                            
 
          Positive Traits Scorpio imagination and intuition
            are excellent. They possess refined critical perception and strong
            analytical ability. In addition, they seem to demonstrate a natural
            healing power. These abundant gifts allow Scorpions to penetrate the
            most profound subjects. They are serious folk, but quite charming
            to people they like, and when social events call for it. On the positive
            side, they are hard workers and are willing to help others as long
            as they are willing to help themselves. Main positive traits:
          Motivated, passionate, resourceful, investigative,
          penetrating, aware. 
 Negative Traits Their sensitivity, and pride allow
          them to be easily hurt, quick to feel insult or injury, even when none
          is intended, and easily roused to heights of anger. An angry Scorpio
          is a sight to see. Scorpio seethes, and doesn't give it up. Their tragic
          flaw is their immense pride. Once wronged, once Scorpio's pride has
          been diminished, the game of courtesy is over. Many Scorpios possess
          a suspicious outlook, and need to know the reasons behind everything.
         Main negative traits:
          Intolerant, violent, jealous, resentful, distrusting,
          secretive, tempermental. 
 Profession Their inner intensity can
          result in the ice-cold restraint and detachment of the surgeon, the
          concentration of the research scientist and the heroism of the soldier.
          Any profession in which analysis, investigation, research or dealing
          with the solving of mysteries are present appeals to Scorpio. Their
          secretive natures make them natural detectives. Police, espionage,
          the law, physics or psychology are attractive professions to the Scorpio.
            As writers and orators they
          excel. The Scorpio character
          is the one you see up on the podium delivering fiery speeches. They
          succeed because they communicate the power of their convictions. 
 Lucky Stones  
 Topaz           Citrine Topaz can be found in a variety
          of colors, depending on the proportions of water and fluorine impurities
          (yellow, clear and blue being displayed here). The mineral is a silicate
          of aluminum. Alternate Stone is Citrine .In
          ancient times, it was believed that citrine could bring a sense of balance
          and well being to the wearer. It should be cleaned in warm soapy water
          with a soft bristle brush. Citrine can fade in the sun. For

 Advise for the Scorpios Your worst fault is you are too
          adaptable to the people with whom you come into contact. Having an ambition
          is the only thing that can save the Scorpios. As a rule they go through
          a great deal of trouble and often privation in their early years. Heart
          is their weakest organ and they should take care that it is not overstrained
          in work or exercise. 
 Origins in Mythology Look towards the constellation
          Scorpios, and you shall see one of the greatest stars visible to the
          human eye. There, at the very heart of the great scorpion is the brilliant
          Antares! This red giant, is some four hundred times larger than our
          own sun. Such intense energy burning at the center of this distinct
          constellation corresponds well to the driving passions which rule over
          those born in this period. In Scorpio lore the placement of
          the Eagle in polarity to the Scorpion is very important. Most Scorpios,
          if they dare be so revealing, would confess of an ongoing internal
          conflict between two distinct aspects of their nature. For individuals
          with a strong Scorpio influence, this may feel sometimes as a civil
          war of the self. This is not an abnormal psychological state. 
 Scorpios are a mystery to humanity, shrouded in fear and misunderstanding.
          Left to their own, they are comfortable in the low lying realms of the
          world. If provoked, however, they will strike with a deadly vengeance.
          The Eagle soars. On great wings this ruler of the wind rises above earthbound
          limitations. From this lofty perspective, the Eagle sees a world others
          may never dream. Within the spirit of every Scorpio resides this dual
          nature.
