Just as stalactites and stalagmites cannot be prevented from growing, once started, Scorpio cannot easily be deflected from his or her purpose.

Secret Scorpio
In side anyone who has strong Scorpionis influences is a person who is intractable and impenetrable, so the secret Scorpio usually remains a secret. All Scorpios like to keep their true nature as hidden as possible. Astrologically, a Scorpio is said to be at one or other of three stages of evolution.
A "stage one" Scorpio exercises power through emotion and instinct. The Scorpio is symbolized by the scorpion, an insect more likely, in the end, to sting itself than others.
The "stage two" type exercises power through the intellect. This Scorpio is symbolized by the golden eagle - a bird that soars higher than others.
At the final stage of evolution, Scorpio exercises power through love. This Scorpio is symbolized by the dove of peace.
Ruling planet and its effect
Both Mars and Pluto rule the zodiac sign of Scorpio, so anyone whose birth chart has a strong Scorpio influence will tend to have two drives - one influenced by the battling energy of Mars and the other by the hidden depths of Pluto. In astrology, Mars is the planet of aggression, and Pluto is the planet of magnetic forces.
