Scorpio in Astrology: Planets, Rising Sign, Transits
Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac, a fixed water sign ruled by Pluto and traditionally by Mars, spanning approximately October 23 to November 21. In a natal chart, Scorpio’s placement reveals deep emotional intensity, transformative potential, and a natural affinity for the hidden or mysterious. When multiple planets gather in Scorpio, forming a stellium, this energy is concentrated and calls for gentle self-awareness rather than forceful change. Reading Scorpio tendencies means honoring your own depth without judgment, and using its fixed, watery nature as a source of resilience and insight.
