Pluto is the traditional ruling planet of Scorpio.
However, modern astrology also assigns Uranus as the modern ruling planet of Scorpio.
Here's why:
* Traditional Astrology: Scorpio is associated with power, intensity, and transformation. Pluto, with its association with death and rebirth, aligns well with these themes.
* Modern Astrology: Uranus represents innovation, rebellion, and change. These qualities also resonate with Scorpio's drive to break free from limitations and explore the depths of the human experience.
While Mars does have some influence over Scorpio, its primary association is with Aries. Mars governs aggression, action, and assertiveness, which are key characteristics of Aries.
Therefore, while Mars might contribute to some Scorpio traits, it's not its primary ruler.
