Scorpio is the Zodiac with a big reputation for being intense, serious, complex and having transformative powers. Being the eighth sign, and influencing the eighth House, there’s much mystery, psychological depth, and taboos here, as well. Ruled by Mars and Pluto, there’s an unwavering amount of determination and rebirth that is greatly seen in Scorpio. However, like all signs, there can be a few ways that this energy manifests. By understanding the spectrum of traits that can be seen by Scorpio throughout one’s Big 6, there’s insight to be learned on the complexity of one’s mind. This also gives an opportunity for personal growth and understanding those around you on a more spiritual level.
The “big 6” in Astrology refers to one’s Ascendant, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, or Venus placement.
Being evolved means that one is more grounded and "mature" in a certain area of life. While being unevolved means that one may be out of balance or have more growth to do in a certain area of life.
Ascendant
The Ascendant (also referred to as one’s rising sign) is determined by the exact time that you were born. As this does change about every two hours, it’s important to have the correct, exact time! The time itself can help determine the degree of your Ascendant sign. The Ascendant is represented in your Astrology chart in your 1st House! The House of Self.
Evolved
The first instinct in this soul is to dive deep! As there’s a natural bias for survival since birth, when evolved, this shows in a way that allows this soul to have a powerful intuition and perceptive abilities that they can trust by adulthood. There’s a magnetic, and mysterious energy that draws others into them. From having such a deep insight and introspection on life, mixed with the harder life paths that have been thrown at Scorpio, this has made these souls very resilient and graceful in the face of adversity. Instead of running from change, they embrace it openly and are able to navigate difficult situations with ease. These challenges only fuel their transformation abilities. Scorpio Ascendants can be intensely loyal, protective, and can help others heal in their discomfort.
Unevolved
Since Scorpio is naturally intuitive and deep, when unevolved, this can show as seeming distant and secretive to those around them. They have a natural distrust in people, and the universe as a whole, which leads to their feelings of disconnect from life around them. In order to feel more secure and comfortable, an unevolved Scorpio may become manipulative to control their life more around them, as a result of resisting change. As there is such an emotional intensity here, this creates a spiritual storm for unresolved conflicts that lead to grudges being held. An unevolved Scorpio Ascendant can come across as distant, cold, intimidating, and end up pushing those around them away.
Sun
The Sun in Astrology is seen as the center of everything, just as it is seen in our solar system! It represents your inner self, and can define aspirations and what you want from life. It can also be used to focus on the source of your vitality! Your Sun sign is determined by the day that you were born.
Evolved
When a Scorpio Sun is evolved, this soul embodies the idea of transformation at their core. There’s a constant soul need to evolve and seek a deeper meaning of life in every way, and this theme continues into the kind of experiences this soul wants too. This emotional intensity is able to be utilized as a tool to turn their experiences into a power, instead of pain. There’s a fierce determination here to achieve one’s goals, to understand the human psyche, and to give their empathy to others who are struggling. At a Scorpio Sun’s best, they’re loyal, devoted, and spiritual beings.
Unevolved
Being an unevolved Scorpio Sun can come with many intensities. There can be themes of possessiveness, power hunger, and unintentional manipulation. While this soul can still see the world around them with a deeper, complex lens - this ability is used for personal gain instead of empathetic matters. When hurt, it can be expected for an unevolved Scorpio Sun to be deceptive, secretive, and to hide their true feelings from the world to avoid being hurt.
Moon
The Moon in Astrology is what can show us where we are more emotional and where our needs are. It can also provide one with what their emotional wants and powers are. Knowing this can provide more insight into ways to strengthen ourselves emotionally and know what to be mindful of for improvement! Additionally, the Moon is one of the most important aspects for children, as it shows what they need the most. The Moon is determined by the precise location of where it was in the sky when you were born.
Evolved
Talk about a Zodiac placement with a lot of emotional depth! Scorpio Moons have a deep capacity to channel their intensity into healing and for personal growth. Due to their emotional resilience, they’re able to come out of situations with a wiser and more compassionate take on life. Naturally, there’s a strong connection to understanding the subconscious mind here, which continues to add to the introspective and self-discovery side to their life.
Unevolved
An unevolved Scorpio Moon can struggle with emotional volatility that they may not even see for themselves. On this rollercoaster of emotions, there can be a natural lean to emotional extremes, and unpredictable mood shifts. As a result, this can cause emotional chaos which continues to bleed into other parts of this soul’s life. It’s important to be mindful of the feelings of jealousy, possessiveness, and control that is wanted in relationships.
Mercury
The planet of communication, learning, and writing - basically anything that involves how the mind works! Since Mercury is closest to the Sun, it will also be in the same sign or within one sign away from your Sun sign.
Evolved
This evolved placement has a natural talent for being quick-witted, sharp, and for being perceptive in a way that allows them to see truths that could go unnoticed otherwise. The way that communication is gone about here is in a way that is tactful, but not manipulative. When speaking, there is a clear passion and purpose with this soul’s words. This sign is known to be great problem solvers, and don’t have any hesitation to get to the root of any story or problem,
Unevolved
On the other hand, when this placement is unevolved, they can use their power to see all situations in a negative manner. The words of this soul could be sharp in a harmful way that allows them the upper hand in conversations. There could be an underlying intention here to gather information through conversing to later use when convenient.
Venus
The planet of love and femininity! In one’s chart, this can show how they go about romantic relationships, and how they express/see beauty and artistry. Venus is determined by where it was in the sky when you were born. Venus is in one zodiac sign for about 30 days before moving into the next sign.
Evolved
This love placement holds a great passionate side to themselves when it comes to love! This is an intense, all or nothing, kind of love. For this native to feel truly invested, this love connection needs to have a profound intensity, and have deep connections that don’t involve anything surface level. This native is incredibly loyal, empathetic, and devoted, with a craving for intimacy, emotional vulnerability, and wants to share their transformative healing powers with their partner. This is a “ride or die” love.
Unevolved
This placement would have much growing room to do before being in a healthy relationship. An unevolved Scorpio Venus would have many emotions around jealousy, possessiveness, and struggle with controlling their partner. This love can feel suffocating but it’s because this native doesn’t know how to properly express and show their intense feelings. Due to this sign’s struggle with trust in love (when unevolved), this can result in a cycle of toxic relationships that end in breakups, until healing is properly done.
Mars
Mars rules over masculinity in Astrology! This planet is all about taking action, being assertive, and one’s impulses. Similar to Venus, Mars is determined by where exactly in the sky it was when you were born. However, it usually takes about two months in a sign before it changes to the next. It also goes retrograde about every 26 months, which is why it’s important to know your exact birth time!
Evolved
This is where you can truly see Mars’ rulership come into full swing in Scorpio placements. These natives are very strong, determined, and relentless when it comes to their goals and what they want. An evolved Scorpio Mars is strategic to their approach to situations, doesn’t make rash decisions, and is willing to fight for what they believe in! This placement has perfected their mental and physical stamina, too. Their anger has become a tool for power rather than destruction.
Unevolved
In an unevolved form, Scorpio Mars can come across as controlling for power control reasons. The assertive energy here could also manifest more into aggression. Having lack of control, mixed with emotional volatility of Scorpio is a dangerous game to play with. Intentionally or unintentionally, lack of anger control can be harmful to this soul or those around them.
