Scorpio in Astrology: Meaning and Traits
Scorpio in Astrology: Meaning and Traits
A deep dive into the meaning of the zodiac sign Scorpio in astrology, where we discuss some of the traits and characteristics associated with people who were born under this sign, with astrologers Samuel F. Reynolds, Kirah Tabourn, and Chris Brennan.
Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac, and it is a feminine or nocturnal sign, fixed, watery, and traditionally ruled by Mars.
This is the eighth entry in our series of episodes where we do a detailed treatment of each of the signs of the zodiac, one per episode, in order to develop a detailed understanding of their core meaning and significations.
Sam, Kirah, and Chris’s credentials for this episode are that they all have a stellium of planets in the sign of Scorpio in their birth charts.
During the course of the episode we talk about different keywords and archetypes associated with Scorpio, and also look at the birth charts of celebrities who were born with different planets in that sign.

Chris ! This was definitely THE BEST episodes you have done so far and I only wished it could’ve gone on for ever, please bring this panel again and do a sequel before the Scorpio season is over; It went so smooth and relaxing; that it almost felt like therapy to me, thanks to the three of you for a job well done.
It occurs to me while listening to the three of you talking about not letting go, and how it is quality given by Pluto? Ironically, when Pluto is doing it’s transformative work, it requires a letting go (or be dragged). Pluto giveth, and also taketh away. Thank you for the episode.
PS Austin is wrong about fixed water (Scorpio) being water in the pipes. Actually it is the water that fills the abyss.
14:00- Scorpio rising has a good bs detector- yes! Trust and loyalty is important. Armour. Penetrating gaze. Sex.
1:25:00- ish. Research
Scorpio rising! Looking forward to this episode!
26:00 I feel the word youâre looking for is Sex Transmutation. Sex transmutation is re-directing the mind from thoughts of physical expression to thoughts of another creative effort. According to Napoleon Hill (also Scorpio), doing this has the potential to⊠Transform mediocrity into genius. And that’s what sexual energy or desire has to do with getting rich and manifesting your dreams.
Loved this episode! I also have Sun, Pluto, Mercury, Saturn, and the s.node in âïž !!
Scorpio people are why 2 controlling I know both parents are Scorpions
A Scorpio â episode right on my birthday, what could be better?
I have sun moon mercury mars venus and so.node.
I am a Scorpio Sun person and I am often giving myself personal challenges to abstain from certain vices for particular amounts of time. Accurate!
what a load of tosh
Scorpios are definitely behind the scene warriors, we plot and plan almost everything, preparation is key
Nice, also in shamanic traditions, few herbivore animals (bison, antelope..) gave them selves to humans so we could survive in the winter or hard times. They let their meat to be eaten, and skin to be used for cloths. I assume the Scorpio was the one who did the "dirty" job with the bull or Taurus so we could thrive. Let that be symbolically or literally.
Interesting. I have Pluto in Scorpio trine my Sun, Moon and Mercury in Cancer and I could relate to most of this. Very informative video, thanks Chris, Kirah and Samuel.
I am a Scorpio rising and I was once told by a friend that I am like a wind-up toy and runs into a wall and turns and keeps going.
I have Pluto in the 1st conjunct the Ascendant and when you talk about paranoia the first thing I thought was: "Ohh that’s who I am!" Another thing I also recognized was control, obsession and the difficulty in letting go (I have Pluto square Venus).
It’s always great to hear this podcast!!! I learn a lot!!! thank you đ
She said Mars Pluto sun conjunct in Scorpio my jaw dropped
Such a cool episode! I have a sixth house stellium in Scorpio, consisting of Venus, Sun, North Node, Jupiter, Pluto and Moon (in that order).
Iâm so glad he brought up the Lamassu.
The Libra episode was basically about Aries and every other signâŠwish Libra episodes was actually about Libra like this episode was actually about Scorpio
Thank you for your Scorpio guidance! #scorpiogang
One of my closest friends is a Scorpio rising. I see a lot of this in her, but what really hit home was when you talked about Scorpios having trouble accepting that not everything is pre-planned or a conspiracy–sometimes, things just happen. She’s a very spiritual person and believes everything happens for a reason and really struggles when she doesn’t know why something happened to her or when she doesn’t know the meaning behind an action, phrase, event, etc. Nothing can truly be spontaneous for her. It is both a strength when she can see the deepest meanings of things and be quite profound but also a hindrance when she feels lost at sea without knowing the purpose.
What a great episode.
Sun, Venus, Mars and Mercury in Scorpio. Full house? Rising Leo and Capricorn moon.
I didnât realize my signs were malefic til now. Iâm a Scorpio sun, Aqua rising, Mar and Venus in Cap in the 11th house but my moon is in Aries in the 2nd, Saturn is the same. And I have Jupiter in 1st. My sun is also in the 9th and Jupiter is in Aqua. Mercury and Pluto are in Sag but in the 10th house. So I feel like itâs a constant teetering between the two but more on the malefic side.
I want to be in the Pisces one!!
So I have a Scorpio moon and three Gemini placements mercury, Venus and Mars with a conjunction between Venus and Mars being inconjunct to my Scorpio moon. I notice that Scorpio can be so in their mind about some thing, and Gemini can be that same way. They both can take thoughts and ideas and turn them into some thing that theyâre just not. Itâs almost as if Gemini is so up in the air that they lose their sense of reality and Scorpio is so deep and immerse that they lose their sense of reality.
You know Scorpio are so mysterious and private – qualities I love so much about them – this episode is sooooo amazing! Thank you all for sharing your incredible insights.
1:44:35- YES. I’m a Scorpio rising with a big stellium in Leo, and I want to be the hidden power behind the throne, as well as on the throne in the spotlight.
As a Gemini sun- scorpio moon & Pluto⊠I felt this entire episode âŠdeeply especially the Gemini vs. Scorpio part- that entire section literally explained my daily struggle. Imma tired!
I am a Taurus Rising with 4 planets stellium in Scorpio; Sun, Moon, Venus and Neptune. I feel that Scorpio’s traits are more prominent in my personality and life. Isn’t it weird?
Among the types of warriors that Scorpio represents there are also the terrorists and the resistance fighters. I won’t give examples of the former type, but the most famous founder and head of a resistance organisation is certainly Charles de Gaulle who was a â.
Scorpio starts their war when everything is already lost and they fight to rise their nation from the dead. In the case of De Gaulle it was completely literal. I also find it kind of funny that his two enemies, Hitler and PĂ©tain, were both Taurus â.
My ascendant lord is Pluto, and I have great aspects to mars (men) and Jupiter (luck). As Pluto is danger and death, I never feel afraid in dangerous situations involving men. I walk alone downtown and in my neighborhood at night and feel like I embody the saying "I am the night". Physically, I feel very safe and relaxed with sketchy characters and just with men in general.
Conversely, my Pluto is squaring Venus, and the only time I’ve been slapped was by a woman, and the only times I’ve been in car accidents have been with women.
Great conversation! Thank you for sharing your insight. Curious why there was no mention of Uranus in Scorpio?
I have my sun on Libra but have a stellium in Scorpio in 8th house and I feel fully indentified with scorpio
I can definitely confirm the Jupiter in Scorpio tendency to deal with difficult stuff through humour. I really think I can’t be totally serious if something bad happens, I start to notice the funny side almost immediately. I also really like dark humour. Thank you for another very insightful episode, I loved the comparisons with different zodiac signs!
As having Scorpio stellium in the 4th house I’d KILL to be apart of this conversation. Depth? DEPTH?? I need to start my own podcast lol thank you for this.
22:22 "resurgence of life cycle" – I love what Sam is talking about here, with Scorpio’s being conceived during Aquarius season.
For water signs…especially planet Mercury, information is distilled. Not a quick uptake like Aries or Gemini. Processing takes time but you end up with a purified result.
Leo…the Sun shines…Scorpio…Pluto cleans up after.
Pisces needs to believe…results for good or ill.
Gemini says, "I want to go to Turkey."
Scorpio rushes out to buy them a travel guide.
Both Scorpio and Capricorn have transformational capabilities.
I’m Sun Scorpio , Moon Taurus and Ascendant Aquarius , They are all Fixed signs
my bf has his sun, moon, and rising in scorpio (along w mercury and venus), while i am a virgo sun, sag moon, and leo rising. we are definitely compatible. i love that he showers me with love and affection, fulfilling my need to be appreciated. we have so much in common and i feel we will be together for a long time. great episode!!!
