The Sun is in Scorpio from about 24th October to November 23 every year. Those who are u born on the cuspal dates i.e. dates on which the sun leaves one sign and enters the other are advised to confirm their sign by reference to ephemeris of the year they were born in.

Scorpio natives have a strong and dominating personality. Their will power is strong, but they have (unless they are enemies of some kind) a kindly disposition. The native gets into temper quickly and when enmity develops with some one, he is vindictive and never forgets and grudge. However, long time may elapse, the scorpio native takes the revenge and he does so not so much by frontal attack as by any means fair or foul and mostly by underhand means- subtle strategy and conspiracy. Beware of the scorpio man whose enmity you may have incurred. His outward manners may belie his inward nature. He will hit you in a secret manner.

He is not only subtle but also energetic. He has a keen and penetrating intellect. He has a great driving force. His mind is analytical. He is also skillful and patient. He is shrewd in business matters. He has literary abilities and creative talents. The most suitable professions for the scorpio born are music, art, department of public health, as doctors and particularly as surgeons, scientific pursuits, architecture, executives in industry, officers in the military and navy, chemists, heads of institutions, mechanical engineers, machinists, sales managers etc. In journalism and literature, they succeed more as critics. They have to take care that in their occupation, they are not too brusque with their inferiors.

They are rather sexy and inclined to have a number of love affairs. They are intense lovers but their attraction is more for the physical craving than for pure love. It is probable that there may be a sorrow in this respect in the first part of the life and the native may marry the second time. If this sorrow is not due to the death of the husband or the wife, it may be connected with the death of some other deeply loved one. If the native marries well- more for the sake of one he marries rather than for incidental advantages of money, position etc., he is likely to have a happy and comfortable home.

One characteristic feature of the natives of this sign is that in the first half of their lives, they have to struggle for power and position and there is not due to recognition of their merits. It is only in the latter half of their lives that they occupy high positions. Examples of this are Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Mrs. Indira Gandhi and many others.

Financially they do well. But they like to make a lot of money all at once- which may not be. They have to be patient and persevering in building their finances and careers in which they succeed. The natives of this sign have a number of children. The native will also have brothers, but one of them is threatened with an accident.

They are liable to fevers and hurts. The weak parts in their anatomy are the groin, the bladder and the organs of generation. They have to take care of the pelvis and the throat. These people are more prone to catch infections and contagious diseases than people born during other signs.

Scorpio persons would do well to marry persons born when the Sun is in Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces.
