There may be some psychological disturbances, strong inner conflicts and difficulty dealing with inner impulses. There can be issues of jealousy that they may want to work on. Intensive internal psychological processes often occupy the mind, however the person may withhold much of this out of the public eye. There can be periodical explosive episodes, and progress is gained in a similar fashion. They tend to be obsessive at everything they do, which can make them more able but may create strain in some situations. They often want to change themselves, and can manage to do it during their lives. They are stubborn, but grow through pain, as their essence is actually spiritual.
They tend to attract negativity by their responsiveness to harsh energies. They can be obsessive about lies, conspiracies and misinformation. They like to dig for and unearth information, even though they themselves often have secretive inclinations. They often like to analyse and find out what people are really like and what they think deep inside. They cannot help but being deep.
These natives often bring something controversial. They may have an affinity to testing people to their core. This ascendant usually reduces fear factors. There are often strong sexual undertones to this ascendant as well, however this expression depends on the rest of the chart.
A weak moon can badly integrate with this ascendant, which can intensify sensitivities and suffering, while shutting the person from important constructive (or reconstructive) interactions. They may lack the tools to deal with their emotions, perhaps needing an external source of objectivity and perspective. There may be some self-destructive tendencies, especially when the moon shows emotional instabilities.
The values of the Sun should be examined, as it can potentially inhance unscrupulous tendencies.
Physically, Scorpio rising tends to deepen and darken the features associated with the Sun sign.

A Scorpio ascendant in a return chart can reflect a more intense period where difficulties and other afflictions take center stage. In a good chart however, this intensity may be redirected to more spiritual directions, and the individual may make real internal progress, perhaps even healing. In such cases there may be great, positive upheaval and something new may cause change for the better. This is however an exception and not its more common expression.
