The Zodiac Sign of Scorpio begins on October 23rd or 24th, but it does not enter its full power until about seven days later. From then, Scorpio is in full strength until November 21st or 22nd, after which it gradually loses its influence over the next seven days due to the transition period, known as the "cusp," of the upcoming sign, Sagittarius.

Scorpio is symbolized by two creatures: the scorpion, with its potent sting and ability to survive in harsh environments, and the eagle, embodying vision and power to soar above the mundane.

Those born under Scorpio often embody inherent contradictions, capable of both great virtues and deep flaws, making this period their chosen battlefield. Until nearly the age of twenty, they may appear pure-minded and virtuous, but their nature can take dramatic turns, potentially leading to the opposite direction. Historically, some of the greatest saints are said to have been born during this time.

Scorpios have a powerful magnetic presence, and as speakers, they can move their audiences emotionally, often beyond logic. Known as the searchers of the zodiac, their thirst for knowledge is insatiable, spanning from spiritual insights to intellectual understandings.

In crises, Scorpios remain cool and determined, traits that contribute to them being successful surgeons. Known to be hardworking to the point of workaholism, they demand much from themselves and others, and they have little patience for weakness.

Adaptability can be a fault for Scorpios, who may lead dual lives: one for public view and another for themselves. They are often more effective as advisors in business or politics rather than leaders.

They excel in mediating disputes and reconciling adversaries. With immense personal magnetism, they attract both strong friendships and enmities; their formidable personalities allow them to prevail in difficulties.

The influence of sexuality is significant in their lives. While they are highly attractive to others, Scorpios with strong will and ambition can control their desires. Relationships with them are complex and transformative, with marriage and long-term commitment typically being important. For Scorpios, love is a deeply passionate and lasting feeling, generally focused on a single individual.

Scorpios should cultivate ambition, which can lead to their success, as they are prepared to make tremendous sacrifices to achieve their goals.

They tend to be dominant in relationships and are often reserved about their true emotions. Despite not always intending to be mysterious, their enigmatic nature often surfaces. Scorpios respond to betrayal with sharp sarcasm or a desire for revenge.

At home, Scorpio men may be authoritative and expect to lead, but their strong influence often earns them forgiveness. Eventually, their interest in the mystical may grow, leading to the development of psychic abilities and success as artists, writers, or philosophers. Scorpios have a natural inclination toward philosophy, studying nature, and analyzing character traits vividly.

Usually, persons born in this sign have, or make, two sources of income. They often have to go through a great deal of trouble, difficulty and sooner or later success and fame nearly always find them.
