Mars rules this sign, so here it is in its own sign and strong. These people have a strong mind, considerable determination, and hold respected positions; they may become owners of property. They are proud, vengeful, and critical. They may show aptitude for occult sciences or find success in secret, hidden work. These are energetic, confident people who suffer from insults, fire, and battles.

Here, Mars is in its second, nocturnal domicile, visiting Pluto. It will give you a strong will, softened and balanced by intellect and heightened sensitivity. You will be characterized by a love of struggle or even harsh and severe trials, but with a certain detachment. For example, on the battlefield, you would likely observe from above or from the side. Usually, the harsher the circumstances you face, the stronger you become. You likely have excellent strategic and tactical abilities; your actions are typically clear and deliberate. You may simply sense when and where to strike. Since Scorpio is a water sign, it gives you strong intuition. You may also be distinguished by very high clarity of action, and it is nearly impossible to defeat you. This is one of the strongest positions of Mars. Additionally, your expressions of passion are usually explosive. Generally, your will seeks to achieve the impossible, and in this pursuit and passion, you often care little for yourself. Sometimes, you may even cross the boundaries of what is allowed. Your will may manifest in experimenting on yourself, your essence, soul, or body (medical and spiritual experiments thrive on such energy). You are generally not capable of living in peaceful conditions because then you would feel “bursting” from within, as Mars here visits Pluto, which gives you otherworldly activity. If there is no opportunity to express this energy, you may either suppress yourself and engage in self-destruction (when your aggression turns inward) or lash out at those around you. At times, you may be inclined to destroy everything around you because little satisfies you. You likely perceive life as a field of struggle and seek places to apply your strength. In spiritually undeveloped individuals with a “broken” Mars, cruelty, a tendency toward sadism and vengefulness in defeat, and a “hardening of the heart” may appear. Many rebels against the existing order have also been born with Mars in Scorpio. Often, Mars in Scorpio gives a drive toward professions related to danger or death. You could make a good tester or stunt performer. You may also exhibit paranormal abilities or even magical talents.

A life full of struggle and anxiety. Danger of violent death through secret enemies. Dangerous wounds. If Mars and Scorpio are in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house — much sorrow through women. With a square or opposition to the Moon and Mercury (and with a conjunction to the Moon) — an arrogant, unsympathetic character. With a conjunction or trine to Jupiter and Venus, the negative signs are significantly reduced. Intense feelings, courage, resilience. Even death does not frighten them on the path to their goal. Their motto: “all or nothing.” Strong sexual needs with a difficult Saturn — sexual deviations. Vindictiveness. With a strong affliction in aspect — rudeness, cruelty, a desire to dominate others.

Catherine Aubier. Astrological Dictionary

Actions are secretive, well-thought-out, and precise. Ability to remain in a state of aggression for a long time without expressing it; vindictiveness. A constant spirit of rebellion. Excellent focus, but aggression can sometimes be destructive.

As always when the ruler appears, the sign feels self-confident; with poor development, it is false. Mars gives Scorpio a sense of colossal inner strength and especially hypnotic abilities. At the same time, this strength demands application, and in the lower octave, it is mostly destructive. Scorpio consumes both itself and others, and there is little they can do about it, especially when defeated. Here, development is very difficult because Mars in Scorpio gives an inner sense of correctness even (and especially) when actions are destructive. Indeed, the Martian Scorpio is a natural black teacher, designed to destroy dead forms. As they develop, however, they begin to feel the need to work more subtly and learn to distinguish between the dead and the decayed from the living and growing, which are often closely intertwined. The axe method gives way to the chisel, but not immediately: in difficult moments, there is a strong temptation to return to the well-tested simple but reliable tool. Mars complicates Scorpio’s perception problem, focusing their attention only on what is accompanied by a strong energetic flow; everything else they perceive with difficulty and, most importantly, internally value little. This temptation remains with them for a long time until a final switch to higher energetic flows occurs, though even then, slips are possible. The problem of active behavior is also tied to the rise in energy levels: a Martian Scorpio cannot act weakly; they act strongly — or not at all, but in principle, they can regulate the height of the flow. Similarly acute is the issue of their inner life; they must learn to finely distinguish their lower programs from higher ones and strive not to destructively annihilate the former but to transform them into the latter. The idea of completely and thoroughly reforming oneself, eradicating evil entirely, is, in this case (and in general), unrealizable.

Mars in Scorpio

Intense emotions, ironclad courage, and unwavering resilience. The highest peaks of spiritual achievement or the abyss of moral downfall—everything hinges on wisdom and motives. Richness of ideas, boldness, energy, especially in difficult situations. Strong sexual needs, magnetism. Benefit from marriage. Relationships recognize only friendship or enmity; compromise is hard to achieve. Silent and secretive. Possible rudeness, cruelty. Dangerous enemies. Possible legal troubles, solitude or confinement, failed journeys, accidents, actions against one’s will.

You possess an exceptionally strong will, pursuing goals with passion, persistence, and determination, fulfilling desires fervently. You are capable of absolute focus and striking self-discipline. Once a decision is made, you are unshakable. No one can sway you. You become obsessed with your desires. Your intuition is highly developed, and sometimes you act without knowing why. Yet you remain secretive—others may not immediately sense the intensity of your intentions as you act calmly and restrained. You often manipulate people, compelling them to do what benefits you rather than them, without displaying aggression.

You dislike confrontations and conflicts, but if faced with active resistance, you become a dangerous opponent. In such moments, something primitive and primordial emerges in you.

Typical ailments: hemorrhoids, fistulas, venereal diseases, stones, gout, blood poisoning, lice, streptococci, abscesses. Illnesses are severe, accompanied by fever.
