Health concerns: Scorpio and its ruler Mars, rule over the organs of excretion (large intestine, colon, rectum, anus, bladder, urethra, ureters), sex organs, endocrine system, elimination of toxins, antibody action, production of White Blood Cells, and resistance to disease and infection. When Scorpio/Pluto are in a challenging relationship to other planets/signs, Bowel disorder (colitis, diverticulitis), hemorrhoids, bladder problems (acute cystitis), sexually transmitted diseases, contagious diseases, hormonal imbalance (prostate and ovarian difficulties), and severe disability may be some of the possible ailments.

Advice from Scorpio: Some naturopathic doctors believe that the key to health is keeping our hormones balanced—naturally. The hormone, Estrogen, receives the most media attention when it comes to menopausal. Scorpio, hands down, rules sex so there is a reminder to develop a healthy sexuality. Repressed sexuality works against our physical and emotional health. The result of the sex act can be creation of a new life. However, if fertility is thwarted, there may be problems with hormones on a physical level; or a problem with repressed sexuality on an emotional level.
