What Does Scorpio Mean?

Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac, and this constellation is represented by the scorpion.

In astrology, Scorpio is a fixed water sign which resides in the ninth house of Mars - its ruling planet. It's also believed to be co-ruled by Pluto.

Scorpio corresponds to the organs of reproduction in the human body.

What does Scorpio mean?
A person who is born on any day between October 23 and November 21, including these two days, is considered to be a Scorpio.

A person who is born on October 23 is said to be born on the cusp between Libra and Scorpio, and a person who is born on November 21 is said to be born on the cusp between Scorpio and Sagittarius.

Scorpios possess some great character traits:

• They are very determined and sometimes forceful people, which helps them flourish in their chosen careers.
• Scorpios are emotional and intuitive - which they get from being a water sign - and these attributes are great for maintaing long-term relationships.
• This sign is passionate, powerful and exciting, which normally means Scorpios are popular and intriguing people to associate with.

Scorpios also have some negative attributes:

• They have the potential to get very resentful and jealous, especially when they are in a relationship.
• Scorpios are obsessive and compulsive people, which other signs in the zodiac can find extremely irritating.
• This sign is sometimes known for its secrecy and obstinate behaviour. Again, these are traits that don't endear Scorpios to others!
