Welcome to Scorpio. Makes me hot just thinking about it. Doesn't hurt that my bestest friend EVER is a Scorpio (November 6). Or that two of the men that I would say had the most influence on my "awakening" are Scorpios (October 31, and November 13-yes it was a Friday that year!) I LOVE SCORPIOS! (Don't worry, my Leo Baboo-you are still the center of my universe!)
Scorpio is the eighth house of the zodiac, and is the house of Birth, Death and Regeneration. It rules the reproductive system. The Phoenix is an appropriate symbol for this sign. Out of the ashes, we rise anew. (Does it surprise you that I met my aforementioned best friend on my first day at Phoenix Middle School?)
Scorpios are ruled by Pluto. I always say that my Scorpios think they know everything because their planet is on the outside of the universe and they can look in on the rest of us. They are secretive, and don't always tell us what they think (and you probably wouldn't like it if they did-the STINGER!). Mostly what they see is deeper than many people want to go in this lifetime. Scorpio influences tell us about our mystical side. Scorpios usually have a sense of deep emotion early in life, and it can take a number of years for them to figure out not everyone can feel the psychic undercurrents they are born knowing. This can make for some pretty introverted kids. They should be encouraged to express themselves in healthy ways.
Pluto is a generational influence planet. It can take between 12 and 21 years for it to transit a house due to it's erratic orbit. My generation has Pluto in Virgo, which is about setting things "right". In 1979 until 1999 Pluto became the 8th planet when it's orbit crossed that of Neptune and the generation that was born here has Pluto in it's native house of Scorpio. This is truly a placement of sweeping reform. It will be interesting to see what the kids with it do to change to present course-(mostly from the generation with Pluto in Leo-the house of ME). Wishg them luck as they flip over the tables of the moneychangers!!!
