Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing by any means shall hurt you.
Luke 10:19

...and I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
Psalm 18:1

The most penetrating and magnetic sign of the zodiac, yet, the most misunderstood. Scorpio is the representative of both sex and death. He is the inevitable. He is the agony and the ecstasy. He did not ask to be born, but he is not sorry that he was. He is as lusty for life as he is for every experience. He does not look for trouble, but when it comes, he is ready for it. For injustice he would kill: for loyalty, he would die. He loves with the greatest intensity of all, and can hate with this same intensity. Often he is reserved because he is rich with feeling that others cannot begin to comprehend. He is hesitant to display his feelings because he is sincere in them, and if hurt, it is to the core of his being. He is everything rolled into one, and he feels the power of it, the power of sex, and the power of death, because he is life from beginning to end. He is the power that transforms. So great is his concept of right and wrong that he must adhere to his beliefs or becomes his own avenger. No sign wish for death as this sign, so great is his disappointment in his failures. Because of his strength, temptations befall him that other signs could not begin to contend with. But he has what it takes, and he has been taking persecution long enough. He is the loyalist of friends, and the fiercest of enemies.

Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac, representing sex and death. It is called watery, fruitful, fixed, feminine, negative, and reproductive. Scorpio has influence over the sex organs and the tongue. The ruling planet is Pluto.
