Quintessentially Scorpio!

What makes Scorpios the unique, mysterious and often perverse creatures they are? I have no idea but below you'll find a brief overview to sate your curiosity.
Dates: Oct.23 - Nov.21
Symbol: The Scorpion
Element: Water
Cross/Quality: Fixed
Polarity Negative
Colors: Red & Black Ruling Planet: Pluto/Mars
Cross/Quality: Fixed
House Ruled: Eight
Opposite Sign: Taurus
Gem Stone: Opal
Body Part: Reproductive Organs
Note: Someone was kind enough to point out to me that there may be some confusion over the listing of Opal as Scorpios gem stone. The birthstone for Scorpios born in November is indeed Topaz (though Citrine is commonly used) and, for those born in October, is Opal. The listing I have pertains not to the stone associated with a given month but rather to the stone associated directly with the sign, which is Opal - just as Autumn colors are associated with October/November but the colors associated directly with Scorpios are (most commonly) red and black. I hope that makes sense.

Astrology.com says:

Scorpio is the eighth Sign of the Zodiac, and you shouldn't take that lightly. You shouldn't take Scorpios lightly, either. Those born under this Sign are dead serious in their mission to learn about others. There's no fluff or chatter for Scorpios, either: these folks will zero in on the essential questions, gleaning the secrets that lie within. Scorpios concern themselves with beginnings and endings, and are unafraid of either; they also travel in a world which is black and white and has little use for gray. The curiosity of Scorpios is immeasurable, which may be why they are such adept investigators. These folks love to probe and know how to get to the bottom of things. The fact that they have a keen sense of intuition certainly helps.
