Physiology: The uro-genital area and sometimes the kidneys.

Rising Sign: (Ascendent or First House Cusp): Intense, magnetic, quiet and secretive, vindictive, tenacious and reclusive.

Personality Traits of Scorpio: Our many happy returns for those of you who are born under the sign of Scorpio - probably one of the most misunderstood signs of the Zodiac. This deep and quietly tenacious sign is ruled by the planet Pluto and has two symbols that best represent it. The most common one i.e. the scorpion reflects the vindictive nature of this sign but the eagle symbolizes the soaring heights sought by this Sun sign group.

Even the vindictive quality can be sublimated into research and getting to the bottom of anything if it is understood properly. Scorpios are some of the best friends you could have, but do not cross them as they neither forget nor forgive easily! In love, especially if Venus is in Scorpio, they like to have long term relationships and have difficulty coping with breakups because they get so deeply involved.

The Years 75-76, 82-83, 1991-92, 2000-2001 and 2006-2007 were major testing periods for Scorpios. The best way to cope with such periods is to go along with it and make voluntary changes in the areas you feel you are being tested.

Scorpios need to be more moderate, not to take things too personally and so intensely, and to travel away from their environment from time to time to gain some objectivity.

A Spiritual Period for the Next Several Years

Neptune inspires by first reflecting events which bring some sadness and confusions in your life. Neptune has been adversely affecting your Sun sign from the last few years for a few more years. However, this is an excellent period for being more creative and less security minded only. Spirituality will be emphasized in your life now especially if you have only been focusing on material values before.

After 2012, you would have re-evaluated your values and found out who your true friends are and what your priorities are. Just be careful of escapist tendencies and alcohol which this transit may stimulate. Use this creative and spiritual period to help others, coaching and indulging in your musical talents.

Stressful Period for Your Age Group in 2011

When Mars makes an adverse aspect to your Neptune, this transit reduces the immune system of the body and you are more prone to scandals, out of wedlock pregnancies and other nightmares scenarios. 

Depending on the age group listed below, you are also more prone to stress related illnesses including the flu and generally need to be careful that you don't set yourself up for a nightmare period. Be extra careful when signing any documents, investing in stocks on going to psychics or tarot card readers (astrologers are a bit more dependable!).

You also need to be extra careful with the ocean (drowning incidents) or being kidnapped! Of course this doesn't happen all the time but at least don't put yourself in that position. False accusations, feelings of betrayal and being a victim of scam artists is also a hallmark of this transit.
