Empathetic Like other water signs, Scorpio is known for having great empathy for others and an innate understanding of emotions. If you were born with Uranus in Scorpio, you can use your empathetic powers to navigate your path toward innovation and spiritual transformation.
- Because you have a great understanding of how people feel and what people need, you can more easily figure out how the traditional ways of society aren't working for people.
4
Intuitive Like other water signs, Scorpio has a strong sense of intuition. When the planet Uranus passes through this sign, its natives have an intuitive sense of what society needs to better the lives of everyone. These folks have a unique ability to see and understand the world that gives their ideas a lot of force and power.
- Because of this strong intuition, someone born with Uranus in Scorpio often has a knack for being in the right place at the right time. They know exactly what is needed to shake things up and aren't afraid to jump right in and make it happen.

6
Independent Folks born with Uranus in Scorpio hunger for freedom—real freedom, an existence unbound by society's restrictions and the limitations of polite society. They certainly play along with society's rules when it suits them, but they also aren't afraid to go against the grain and stir things up a little if they think that's what's necessary to achieve what they've set out to do.
- This drive for freedom and independence affects these natives' personal lives as well. They might prefer looser, more casual relationships to a single life partner. Although, if they do choose to tie the knot, you can definitely count on them to be loyal—it's just not a decision they're going to take lightly or rush into.
