Your typical Scorpio ascendant will likely have an air of mystery to them, as a fixed water sign ruled by Pluto (the planet of death, sex and the occult). Symbolized by the scorpion, this sign is known to keep its guard up, and you’ll likely find it in a Scorpio rising.
While it can be difficult to open up, once they do, Scorpio Ascendants are committed, loyal, and sensitive to the emotions of others. They may seem too intense to the wrong person; Meanwhile, others will be inexplicably drawn to its haunting energy.
“The nature of Pluto and its lessons for Scorpio risings is that they constantly evolve themselves. They have to regenerate. They even go through a series of ‘mini deaths,’ as if they were a different person today than they were yesterday,” Pelinku tells mindbodygreen, adding: “They go through ups and downs with the ebbs and flows of life. It paints their perception of what their reality is.”
And if you want to spot one, look for dark features, a serious expression, and the revealing, penetrating gaze of Scorpio.
