The Sun in Scorpio

The Sun in Scorpio is fixed Water, and its keyword is "I create". Symbolized by the Scorpion, it rules the sexual organs and generative system. Great depth, reserve, intensity and passion in this sign, where the individual is asked to master the emotions through the use of the will. Unfortunately, Scorpions find it easier to control or manipulate others rather that to master themselves. Scorpio is the Sign of personal transformation, regeneration, sex and death, often represented by the fabled Phoenix, bird rising once every century out of its own funeral pyre. The adjustments and compromises necessary in intimate relationships are Scorpio’s test. Purification: the reduction of personality to essentials. You know how to say "No!" and to go without if need be. Intense, moody, and sometimes driven, you cut through to the heart of things. Seldom interested in refinement, you can be very magnetic. Famous people with Sun in Scorpio are Charles Bronson, Albert Camus, Art Carney, Johnny Carson, Dick Cavett, Hillary Clinton, Walter Cronkite, Marie Curie, Jamie Lee Curtis, Rodney Dangerfield, Bo Derek, Danny DeVito, Larry Flint, Jody Foster, Art Garfunkel, Bill Gates, Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Graham, Goldie Hawn, Katherine Hepburn, Rock Hudson, Robert Kennedy, Kevin Kline, Bill Maulden, Burgess Meredith, Joni Mitchell, Demi Moore, Eugene Ormandy, Pablo Picasso, August Rodin, Roy Rogers, Will Rogers, Theodore Roosevelt, Winona Ryder, Martin Scorsese, Grace Slick, Dylan Thomas, Kurt Vonnegut, Jonathan Winters, and Henry Winkler.
