Saturn in Scorpio

Scorpio is fixed water, ruled traditionally by Mars and in modern astrology by Pluto. Saturn here gives real staying power in difficulty: these people endure what would flatten others and keep their head when control is what a situation needs. Trust is extended slowly and withdrawn permanently. The cost is rigidity of will, a habit of holding everything privately, and a suspicion of dependence that makes shared money and real intimacy harder work than they need to be.
