You can use this act of self-sabotage in order to destroy the image others hold of you, in order to break down a relationship and break free.
RULING PLANETS: Mars and Pluto
Scorpio was traditionally ruled by Mars, the God of war. Mars’ energy is strong, powerful and takes no prisoners. As a result, you are some of the most powerful and influential people we know. Scorpio’s other ruling planet is Pluto which is the furthest planet away from Earth hiding in the darkest depths of the universe. You can be an air of mystery to all other signs as you don’t reveal yourselves or your personalities to anyone you don’t trust. However, after getting over the initial mis-trust and once someone has got on the right side of you, you will never let you go! You will be their lifelong friend or partner until the end. All or nothing, until death do you part. A Scorpio’s power is also acquired by living close to death, because it makes you feel more alive. Being on the edge of destruction motivates you to live life for today. They have an urge to control and steer everything in your lives. However, sometimes things can fall apart, but you are amazing in crisis. If it’s an attack, accident or trauma, you will be there handling everything so smoothly as if this has happened to you before. If your world ends up crumbling around you and you hit rock bottom, you have an immense ability to transform yourself and turn the situation around. You are invincible people.
ELEMENT: Water

However, when you fall in love with a friend or partner you fall hard and deep. You feel like you never want to let them go, so can become slightly possessive of them. All you want from life is to have deep emotional connections with the ones you love. You don’t do surface or superficial relationships…you are real. Due to your high regard for built up trust, if that trust is broken revenge will be on the cards. And punishment can come long or slow, as you know how to play a waiting game. You have a natural ability to see weakness in people and can use it to your advantage if needed.
