Scorpio rules the dark side of our nature and there's always something hidden beneath the surface. They're very upfront when moved to be, but when they're not in the mood to spout forth, they're more than happy to sit in the shadows where no-one can get at them. They only really take the stage when they're all-powerful.

Their house is that of the life-giving forces and, therefore, rules the genitals. That's why so much is written about the sexuality of the Scorpio. However it also rules the bowel: the waste area.

Scorpio people should really pay attention to the roughage in their diet. If not, stomach cramps, indigestion and flatulence could be their number one enemy.
