They seek exciting new experiences and are very creative. Due to Scorpio’s influence, these individuals are likely always looking for a new adventure and excitement.

However, the darker influences of Pluto can cause this need for control to turn into manipulation of others.

- As the farthest (former) planet from the sun, Pluto has also been given a reputation of being very dark and mysterious, which is probably why it has such an affinity for Scorpio.
- If you have Pluto in Scorpio, your mysterious and secretive tendencies likely become even stronger. Just remember to make an effort to open up to the people closest to you to show that you trust and value them.
