Everything about Scorpio Astrology totally explained

Scorpio is the eighth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Scorpius. In western astrology, the sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. In Astrology, Scorpio is considered a "feminine", negative (introvert) sign. It is also considered a water sign, and is one of four fixed signs.
   Individuals born when the Sun was in this sign are considered Scorpio individuals. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun is in Scorpio roughly from October 23 to November 21, and under the sidereal zodiac, it's currently there roughly from November 16 through December 15.

Astrological qualities and associations

Being a water sign, Scorpio is considered highly passionate, imaginative, determined, persevering, inflexible and self-confident.
   Traditionally, the planet Mars has been considered to be the ruler of Scorpio, and since its discovery, Pluto has been considered a modern ruler of this sign. Some modern astrologers consider Pluto to be a more appropriate ruler over the sign, citing the reason for Mars having initially ruled the sign being that Pluto hadn't yet been discovered.
   As the eighth sign in the zodiac, Scorpio is associated with the astrological house number 8, which is associated with natural Scorpio matters - birth, death, transformation, sexual relationships and deeply committed relationships of all kinds, and the occult and psychic matters.
