Scorpio

Scorpio is a fixed water sign — traditionally ruled by Mars and, in modern astrology, also by Pluto. The combination produces someone whose mode is INTENSE — Scorpio doesn't do casual, doesn't do surface, doesn't do small talk. People with strong Scorpio placements tend to be private (you'll know a Scorpio for years without knowing what they actually think), perceptive (they read what isn't said), and capable of profound transformation when they choose to face something. The shadow side: jealousy, control, a tendency to test loyalty, holding grudges that calcify. Scorpio rules the reproductive system and runs from approximately October 23 to November 21.
