Know All About Scorpio Ascendant According to Vedic Astrology

General Personality Traits

Secretive Sign:

Scorpio sign is the 8th house sign which is the house of secrets, mysteries, transformation, longevity, death, and life.

They love to research and dig deep into the mysteries of life. They are good at keeping other people’s secrets too.

Elements:

Watery signs are known for emotions, desires, comforts, dreams, and attitudes. Scorpio ascendants are water and fixed signs. Metaphorically, this water is not the flowing surface water but deep underground or ocean water bodies. This implies that all the aspects of watery signs are hidden and buried deep inside their subconscious mind. They are ruled by Mars which is a firey planet. Hence, Scorpio ascendants contain both water and fire elements. The martian fire denotes ambition. There are a lot of emotions, desires, and ambitions in them that are extremely intense.

Feminine and Masculine Energy:

This is the 8th house of the zodiac sign which is an even number. Even numbers are feminine energy. The feminine or ‘Shakti’ is a pool of intense energy and also likes to settle down in life. Hence, this ascendant sign strives to create stability and security. There is a lot of versatility in them because although the house number is feminine, the ruling lord is masculine (Mars). So they have both feminine and masculine energy at their disposal.

Intuition and Receptivity:

Scorpio ascendants are extremely intuitive and receptive. They are more into supernatural knowledge. They can sometimes intuitively know what can happen in the future, what is in store for them, how a situation will turn out, or how a person really is.

Obsession:

When Scorpio ascendants know what they want, they become obsessive to achieve that. They follow their desires so intensely that they tend to avoid other aspects of life.

Extremists:

There is no middle ground for Scorpio ascendants. It’s either black or white. They can be extremely positive or negative, depending upon their upbringing, circumstances in life and level of consciousness, they can be saints or sinners.

Transformation:
