Neptune in Scorpio

Scorpio is fixed water, ruled traditionally by Mars and in modern astrology by Pluto, and Neptune crosses it in roughly fourteen years, marking a generation. The ideal attaches to what is hidden: this generation is drawn to the occult, to psychology, to sexuality and to altered states, and it is comfortable with material others find dark. The cost is obsession and deception, since a fascination with power and secrecy invites both, and intensity gets mistaken for depth.
