What Mars in Scorpio means for you
Before Pluto was discovered, Mars was the ruler of Scorpio, and it still works well here.
Your drive is concentrated and patient. Once you have chosen a goal, it is very hard to stop you.
You rarely show your plans. You prepare, wait and act at the right moment. You keep anger under control until someone crosses a line. Then it can be cold and thorough. You never forget who supported you and who did not.
This Mars is also good at rebuilding. After a loss, you start again, often stronger and more yourself than before.
Scorpio is one of Mars’s own signs. Mars works at full strength here.
Love
Your desire is deep and private. You want complete closeness and a partner who can handle your intensity. Loyalty is not negotiable for you. You may become jealous when you feel insecure, and testing someone can feel safer than asking. Ask anyway. Honesty is the closeness you are really looking for.
Work & money
You are suited to serious work that needs deep concentration: surgery, research, investigation, finance, crisis management and psychology. You can concentrate for hours, and you finish what you start. Office politics make you strategic. Use this skill to protect your team, not to win small conflicts, and people will trust you with a lot.
