Planets in Scorpio

Moon

Moon in Scorpio produces emotional responses that are intense, secretive and expressed with great passion. They are extremely emotional and highly sensitive and must learn to handle their strong, deep feelings. They are very good at hiding their true feelings however, and very few people ever know very much about what goes on inside them.

A Scorpio Moon position produces an amazing memory. Although in some ways this can be very good, it does mean that they vividly remember past events that perhaps should be forgotten.

Despite the fact that this is perhaps the most sensuous of the signs, their jealous, proud and possessive nature means that they often have difficulty in romantic relationships. They judge people quickly, and rarely give them a second chance once those negative feelings have been received. They can be vindictive and determined when it comes to getting even with someone who has wronged them.

They're always searching for new challenges, and are very determined, achieving whatever goal is set. An extremist in much that they do, they never pursue anything half-heartedly. Emotional stubbornness marks their nature and natural reactions. Even when a situation turns out to be detrimental to their well-being, they may still refuse to give it up.

Mercury

Mercury in Scorpio produces a mind that is probing, investigative and secretive. Intense thoughts and vivid imagination can either be anchored creatively or squandered in resentful attitudes. A penetrating and deep thinker, they can dig in to the core of any issue with little wasted time or effort. Their adaptability is limited in an intellectual sense because their highly emotional approach often has them prejudiced and focused on a set objective. They can be very stubborn in their mental determination and tenacity.

They are also very good at digging out secrets and getting to the bottom of complex issues. They themselves are secretive and plans and schemes are often carried on in secret. They have a way of seeking hidden truths and are so perceptive that they seem to 'know the unseen weaknesses and strengths of people with whom they come in contact.

They either say exactly what they are thinking or they remain completely silent. Often using sharp language, they refuse to mince words or show much concern for the feelings of others.

Venus

Venus in Scorpio produces a very intense romantic nature. In relationships, they are very straightforward, determined and direct, loving intensely, loyally and passionately.

They are charismatic and highly sexed, and approach the emotional experience of romance with much intensity and much feeling. They dominate and demand total involvement. Because their love desire is so overwhelming, they sometimes become very jealous and possessive of their partner. They may express this in minor ways, but tend to control and hold on to the love of their life in some way or another.

Mars

Mars in Scorpio displays powerful desires and emotions. Physical and sexual energies are remarkably powerful and enduring, but sometimes difficult to control.

They think of themselves as a force to be reckoned with; they are strong, self-reliant, extremely efficient and highly self-disciplined. Proud, strong-willed, dignified and stubborn, they have the sort of presence that is always felt by others even when they say nothing.

Whether or not they physically attractive, they tend to be especially attractive to the opposite sex. Intensely passionate and sensual, they put much of their energy into sex. Being trustworthy themselves, they expect the same from others, and they are often jealous and possessive of their sexual partners.

They're a loyal friend or a bitter enemy - they never forget a betrayal. Slow to anger, they rarely lose control, but when their fury is raised, they get even, and they can do so with frightening detachment.
