Sign 8 of 12
Scorpio
Scorpio is fixed water: depth held under pressure. It is intense, private and loyal, wants the truth under the surface, and gives itself completely or not at all.
Scorpio pairs the Water element with the Fixed mode. In the tropical zodiac the Sun passes through it from 23 October to 21 November.
In the sidereal zodiac used by Vedic astrology the same 30° sit about 24° further on, so the Sun is there from about 16 November to 15 December.
