These are comfortable, familiar transists. In ancient astrology, Scorpio was considered to be ruled by Mars, but modern astrology believes it to be ruled by Pluto. Mars and Scorpio can match intensity, but Pluto can relate to Scorpio’s desires and talents for transformation and mysticism.

Exalted:

 Uranus

An Exalted placement can be the best expression of energies. Uranus is the planet of innovation and change, and finds power in Scorpio’s transformative energies. When paired, this two can really shake things up.

Detriment:

Venus

This is an uncomfortable placement for Venus because its gentle, tender nature can struggle to handle the intense control of Scorpio. When these two mix it makes for complications in energetic expression, but that isn’t always a bad thing as it can teach us expansion in different areas.

Fall:

Moon

When a planet is in Fall placement it is considered to be its weakest expression. In this case, that is because the Moon can struggle emotionally in Scorpio’s intense depths. The Moon represents the inner world, but Scorpio is the deep dark depths of the Shadow Self beneath the surface. With this placement there is a constant push and pull for power, which results in little forward movement of energies.
