Scorpios are Stupide.

In my not so humble opinion.

A lot of emotion, but not so much talent, really...Act like they're entitled to express these so-called "emotions" which require them to get their neurotic knickers in a twist about the smallest darn little thing which nobody else gives a crap about...whilst being blase about the big things in life...I haven't got time!

And they're massively overrated.

I agree that the rest of the chart helps paint a picture as to how it's felt by others.

With 3 personal planets in Virgo, 3 planets in Capricorn and Cap ASC, I'm sure people feel my Scorpio MC-Pluto in Scorpio conjunction differently than say, a triple Scorpio.

Perhaps air is indeed selfish, water inconvenient, and soil evil. Who knows?

In my chart:
----Sun opposite Pluto - orb of 6 degrees
----Moon in Gemini in 8th house
----Moon bi-quintile Pluto - orb within 1 degree
----Mercury quincunx Pluto - orb within 1 degree
----Mars trine Pluto - orb of 8 degrees (it's a bit wide, but it seems to manifest)
----Saturn square Pluto - orb of 4 degrees
----Uranus sextile Pluto - orb of 4 degrees
----Neptune sextile Pluto - orb of 3 degrees
----Pluto in Scorpio
----Pluto conjunct Ascendant - orb of 3 degrees
----Ascendant in Scorpio

My Scorpio placements seem to manifest as more evolved, because I'm now older and more mature. At least from what I've noticed, I feel like I'm more intense than others.

After everything I've been through, it has all hardened me and I believe people can tell I've been through a lot just from looking at me. Granted, I'm not sure how true that last part of information is, but in general, I feel like my intensity is reflected through my stare of all things. When I look at people, it's not the way I used to and I can tell. It's hard for me to describe the difference though. The best I can describe it is it feels hardened, maybe more focused.

What I say just feels heavier. Sometimes it's the conversation topic and other times it's how I choose to respond to it. Paired with my Mercury in Aries, the strength in my tone comes across as more forceful and aggressive at certain moments and I'm currently going through the Pluto square to my Mercury. Pluto is having a powerful influence on how I choose to communicate, but I don't think it's all from Pluto. The transit is just exposing the consequences of being overly private and secretive and keeping almost everything to myself.

In some ways, it's probably not easy to talk to me, so I'm sure my intensity makes some people uncomfortable. With all my depth and complexity, It's possible I come across as too serious, because I'm definitely not simple and light-hearted often enough. On the other hand, I'm trying to work on this and without much success thus far.

Anyway, without more direct feedback from other people on this topic, there's not much I can say about this. This post is mainly about my own personal observations.

What about how the scorpio/plutonic person feels?

For me as plutonic, when I let out my pluto energies, like when arguing passionately about something, or when I let out my 8th house aries stellium venus when flirting with someone, I feel an intense energy that makes me uncomfy! Like, I am stabbing myself with needles, that how it feels. Especially when I'm flirting, I get this intensity in my eyes for ex , and I feel it myself, its very uncomfy... I feel dirty, prickly and intense.


Also I feel like a huntress, like I'm magnetically trying to make my prey come to me and I'm about to pounce. Or I'm like a spider, I,m creating a web (opportunities) for the other person to fall into me.

The huntress feel, Its not a nice feeling. I would love to be more like a passive venus sign, who is laidback and airy

It can be very frustrating.


But in my experience, I have found that this is only true if someone's Scorpio and Pluto is very aspected.

e.g., My best friend who then became my boyfriend is a Cancer with a Scorpio rising and his Pluto was conjunct his Ascendant.

He always asked me which of the two energies (Cancer or Scorpio) was more prominent and I found that they were almost an even ratio.

However, the Pluto conjunct Ascendant reared its head in ways that would make one seem was more powerful, when his Cancer was just as powerful.

He was secretive. I later found out that my suspicions were correct in thinking that he had feelings for one of his girl friends. He hid from me the fact that he liked her and couldn't fess up to it. He deceived me when he lied that it was her idea to go out to dinner with him when him and I were together, meanwhile he was texting her things like he missed her so much and that they should get together soon. He was VERY emotional (being a water sign) and because he was at the whim of his feelings, he was deceitful and almost self-serving...DESPITE being as kind as he was as a friend and his Cancerian qualities.

Case in point, I find that it depends on how Scorpio is aspected in one's chart, not just on their sun sign or another position of Scorpio. But that's all astrology!

Generally...Scorpio energy alone is very intense and I always give use the aphorism "still waters run deep" to describe this energy.

I tend to agree with you Lerena, when I feel the intensity related to my Scorpio placements it feels intense in an introspective way. And yes, more evolved. I know this can also manifest in judgements that are quick, sometimes harsh but usually spot on. For instance, Bluesky's gross generalization of all Scorpios', as if he or she is all knowing or is privileged to insight no other mortal would have access to strikes me as hysterical, juvenile at best. These are the types of people I enjoy *#$&ing with because they're such easy targets. In fact Bluesky, this may explain your past experience with us 'stupid' Scorpio's-the feeling may be somewhat mutual.

Not in my observation though. My friend has a Scorpio Sun with no aspect to Pluto. She's secretive about everything. Every time she tells me something, she'll make me swear not to tell anyone. If I hear about something and asked her about it, she'll launch into interrogation mode: "Who told you.. why did he tell you this... under what circumstances... what exactly did he say... etc". Once she sent me a chart and then made me delete it after looking at it although it's public info. She gets all paranoid.

Another Scorpio friend (I can't do her chart because I forgot her exact DoB)... you ask her any personal qn she snaps at you.

I've Pluto trine Ascendant, quincunx Sun and I'm not so secretive.

As for the story you shared... truth is when a man wants to cheat, he will be secretive, no matter whether he has Scorpio/Pluto or not. Are you guys still together?

I find their need for retaliation when they get hurt a bit ridiculous. Also their need for control is too much for me. And sometimes they tend to be paranoid (which they have in common with Taurus), but they do have a brilliant sense of humour and we get each other usually. I'm quite plutonic myself though, so that helps.

To all posts above, yes pluto energy will manifest differently from person to person. We all react differently to the energies, both as chart owners and those we interact with reacts differently.

My twin pluto opposite sun brothers both are different (but same themes) even though they are twins and have the same exact placements. How the energies shapes us (or how WE shape the energies more correctly) vary from person to person

Well this will not stop us from asking thise type of questions, thats for sure (me included )

IMO, this would & could only be from my own life experience; my desire to control and be secretive is solely as a protective mechanism. It's true that others could and do find it ridiculous, even I do, but it doesn't matter to me in the moment. My Scorpio energy can feel like a cross to bear: I would give anything to be able to detach and 'see the picture'. There are plenty of occasions where I've known the benefit of Scorpio characteristics and they have benefitted me well. But there's always a sense of self-imposed isolation that can be a double edged sword.

I’m “heavy on the Pluto” and I truly feel people find me odd, fascinating and scary as hell. Some people seek comfort in me while others downright want to go to “war” with me and that’s something I can sniff out pretty quickly! I’m very different from my mom who is a Scorpio Sun, Moon, Mercury opp. Pluto. She’s quite...serene, quaint and not as “in your face” as I seem to be. Both of us are very private and we both get royally p-d off if you try to pry too much! I have a deeper, darker and goofier sense of humor than she does and one can easily ruffle her feathers. She LOVES animals, especially birds, and they seem to love her just as much. I freakin hate birds with the passion of 1000 Dark Lords!

She had a tough upbringing and I’m fairly certain her dad used to beat the crap out of her. She mentioned something once very briefly, but I noticed it wasn’t a topic she wanted to discuss much more than that.

I also had a tough upbringing, for different reasons and circumstances.

Hmmm...I'm usually pretty laid back about people in general, but with Scorpios, I tend to love or hate them (and they're the same with me). I personally think the energy is overrated, though I've seen the potential for it to become amazing.

Let's see...one was a stalker, but a rather clumsy one, and I easily rid myself of him. He had this bizarre notion that we were soul mates even though I gave him reasons why this could not be so.

Another was like a big brother who was kind to me. He was very secretive. I felt safe with him, though many were scared of him (he could freak people out with his acting crazy which was an act of intimidation, but I often laughed at seeing it, covering it if I had to). I'm glad to say that his girlfriend didn't show me the usual jealousy many females do when I'm around their guy (and safe enough, I had no romantic interest in him, or he in me as far as I could tell).


Another was my BFF until she died. She and I were almost astro-twins with only 3 days between our birthdays (I don't know her TOB however). She was bullied and I was not (though I was shunned), and when I was around she was bullied a lot less (I had a rep of being unpredictable and crazy, potentially violent though I mostly shrugged others off worried more about quality of friends than quantity). She was an addict and I was not. I suspect that her Scorpio aspects made her more moody and easily hurt than I was. She'd tell me what she'd want to do and I'd usually find a way to do it, no doubt because I had a much more positive attitude than she did.


One was a neighbor who was very secretive, but after a bureaucrat played a dirty trick on her she was facing the loss of her home, and she confided in me just enough so that I could take her cat if she became homeless. I secretly, as the urge struck me, took a wheelbarrow of stuff over to her backdoor after midnight (so glad that the cops didn't see me as they'd never believe it!), which included stuff for her cat as well as the stuff food stamps can't buy. I was secretive about it both for her security (as those who bear gifts often have a hidden price tag attached, and I know I get nervous and often refuse charity for that reason), and for mine (didn't want her to decide I was a sap she could soak for more). But she knew it was me because she had told no one but me her troubles. She was intensely loyal after that, and once she got an assistant manager (and later manager) job at a health food store, she got me the employee discount on the strawberry spritzers I loved so much (but could so rarely afford).

I knew one Scorpio who was a genuine Phoenix risen from her own ashes. She was a nurse and she and I argued a lot at first, but got to a place of mutual respect, picking each other's brains a lot on moral, ethical, and spiritual issues. Her life story would make an intense drama, but she didn't share it with many, and for that reason neither will I.


I knew another Phoenix who was a coroner. Same as above.

And then there's my mother who is still a Spider/Scorpion, but I hope she might become an Eagle or even Phoenix one day. I kinda lost hope on that one, but the last time I was with her made me think it COULD happen.

I'm resisting the temptation to share of others with Scorpio heavy charts, some amazing, and some terrible.

As for what the energy is like? Maybe it's because I was raised with so much of it, or my Pluto heavy chart (and Scorpio Jupiter plus Scorpio cusp for sun, Pluto and that stellium), I'm just not dazzled or impressed or scared of them as many others seem to be. I don't think they're as strong as many think they are, though the few who are will be much stronger than about anyone else...I think Scorpio has to "die" in a way before they can gain that strength, and hence the name Phoenix for them, though those raised in a very good environment might become the protective and honorable Eagle without anything too dramatic happening to bring it about. Those who overcome their egos and their (secret) fears are fascinating people to talk to, but those are fairly rare as well.

Other than myself & two of my children, I have had very few experiences with Scorpios-Kind of strange. It's been so interesting to read these varied experiences and observations. But in most all of the more negative ones, I recognized how easily I could "go there" if chosen. My Mars is in Leo so it would be a dramatic show... and I may have done that a time or two!
