Scorpio (♏) is the eighth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Scorpius. Scorpio is considered a "feminine", negative (introverted) sign by most modern astrologers. It is also considered a water sign and one of the four fixed signs. Traditionally, the planet Mars has been considered to be the ruler of Scorpio. Also, since its discovery, Pluto has been considered a modern ruler of this sign. As the eighth sign in the zodiac, Scorpio is associated with the astrological eighth house. The Sanskrit name of Scorpio in Hindu astrology is Vṛścika.
Based on Elements within the Zodiac, Scorpio is considered compatible with Cancer, Pisces (which are also water signs) and Scorpio itself
