The Moon in Scorpio: The Moon is emotions and Scorpio is the sign of extremes and
jealousy. Any questions? It goes without saying that these emotions have to be channeled
into the right direction or there may be a few minor problems. On the positive side, this
placement increases the emotional need for great sex.
Mercury in Scorpio: gives a subtle mind that is always looking for secrets or
something hidden. This is a great position for a detective or therapist. Mercury in
Scorpio is also great for finding weaknesses in opponents --- or anyone else, for that
matter. And talk about a sharp tongue! The have an instinct for saying the one thing to
shake anyone else up. Even if they don’t say it, they are thinking it. Not a bad
placement for a writer of murder mysteries.
Venus in Scorpio: Venus is what makes us happy. Scorpio is sex, obsessions, and
obsessions with sex. Relationships are seldom light and breezy with this placement of
Venus. If you have this one, you can love partners or hate them, but it is always with
passion. Nothing half-hearted here. Scorpio is the sign of the "underworld" and
those with this Venus, at some point in their lives, will be attracted to pleasures or
people that society considers illicit or downright illegal. Ironically, they can come out
of it renewed, like the mythical Phoenix, rising out of its own ashes. That is, if they
are lucky.
Mars in Scorpio: Let’s say that the President of the United States has
Mars in Scorpio, and aliens attack from outer space. The first thing they would do is
reach for the thermonuclear weapons. Now let’s say that there is a fly buzzing around
their head and disturbing them. The first thing they do is reach for the thermonuclear
weapons. Mars is the fighting ability, and in Scorpio, it is either on or off. Nothing in
between. People with this placement have to learn moderation in battle.
Jupiter in Scorpio: In the area of religion and philosophy, there is a tendency
to be attracted towards all things hidden and mysterious. One woman I know of who has this
placement became successful as a private detective. Jupiter is where we are
"lucky". Well, at least it is where we feel good and secure (Saturn, by
contrast, shows what we NEED to feel secure, what we FEAR not having) so we can relax
there and get things done easily. Jupiter in Scorpio can give us "luck" in
dealing with other people’s money and resources, in having these available for us
when we need them.
Saturn in Scorpio: has an above average need for a sexual relationship. But
there is also a fear (Saturn) of being overwhelmed by the other person, so Saturn in
Scorpio people will do things to pull back. Like picking a fight just when things are
going great. Or that wonderful Scorpio trick, being mad (or, though they don’t like
to admit it, AFRAID) about something and picking a fight about something else. And you, of
course, have to make the connection.
Uranus in Scorpio: The planet of the unexpected in the sign of sex and death.
The last time Uranus entered Scorpio was 1975, just about the time that the AIDS epidemic
started.
Neptune in Scorpio: The illusion of this age (1956 to 1971) was that people could
be reborn (Scorpio) through drugs (Neptune). There was also great concern about pollution,
with very little action taken. Neptune changes minds. Action comes later. In this case,
Uranus and Pluto followed Neptune into Scorpio and that’s when we got environmental
protection laws.
Pluto in Scorpio: happened from 1984 to 1995. This generation will be obsessed
with all things sexual (who isn’t, but they will be even more so). Even more,
however, they will be the generation to bring about a biological revolution, including
human cloning.
