What is a Scorpio really like?
Scorpio, the scorpion: still waters, very deep, and you know exactly how deep. The machine's library weighs Scorpio heaviest on intense, private and loyal. It is a water sign, and a fixed sign: you hold the line once it is drawn. The Sun is in Scorpio from October 23 or 24 to November 21 or 22.
The Math
Calculated facts only, worked out the same way the machine does it.
- Sun in Scorpio: from October 23 or 24 to November 21 or 22. The exact day changes with the year; the machine works it out for your birth date (calculated 1950–2030).
- Cusp days: birthdays from October 22 to 24 (the Libra side) and from November 21 to 23 (the Sagittarius side) have fallen on the cusp in some years. Without a birth time, the machine names both signs on those days.
- Element: water. Modality: fixed. Sign 8 of 12.
- Wheel geometry: same element (most compatible): Cancer and Pisces. Friendly sextile (great match): Virgo and Capricorn. Opposite (the magnetic one): Taurus. Square (least compatible): Leo and Aquarius.
