Take Exam (Pay Later)Scorpio (Vrischika): The Abyss
The Essence
Scorpio is the radioactive core of the zodiac. Ruled by Mars (and Ketu), it is the energy of death, sex, and transformation. It is the only sign that is comfortable in the dark. Scorpio understands that civilization is a thin veneer over primal chaos, and it specializes in navigating that chaos. It does not want to be liked; it wants to be feared and respected. It is the psychological X-ray.
