Scorpio The Scorpion
October 23 – November 21
Born to transform. Born to descend. Born to return with what was hidden.
A fixed water sign, ruled by Mars and Pluto.
The Sun moves through Scorpio from approximately October 23 to November 21. The season of Samhain. The veil at its thinnest. The world turning toward the dark, the ancestors close, the mystery of death and regeneration alive in the land itself.
In ancient Mesopotamia, the scorpion-people guarded the gates of the underworld, the threshold between the living and the dead.
In Egypt, the scorpion goddess Serket protected the dead on their journey and guarded the canopic jars that held the organs of transformation.
Scorpio carries that guardianship. The one who stands at the threshold. The one who knows what lives in the dark and is not afraid to look.
Ruling Planets: Mars and Pluto
Mars, the planet of will and desire. Pluto, the planet of death, transformation, and the power that rises from the depths. Together they govern the drive to go beneath the surface and emerge changed.
