Were you born on November 22nd? If so, then according to Western astrology, your zodiac sign is Scorpio, the sign of the Scorpion. This means that when you were born, the Sun was in the stars that make up the constellation known as Scorpio. Let's dive into the basics of your horoscope.
Scorpio Overview
Scorpio is known as "वृश्चिक" (vrishchika) in Sanskrit, which means "scorpion." Each sign of the zodiac is characterized by certain basic traits. Here's a breakdown of the Scorpio sign:
- Sign of the Scorpion: Scorpio natives are intense and secretive. They may react harshly if provoked.
- Ruled by Mars: Mars is the planet of war, explosions, sudden events, and land. Martian individuals are hard-working and self-confident.
- A water sign: Those with a Scorpio moon are perceptive, artistic, and sentimental.
- A fixed sign: Persons born under this sign are steady, predictable, and slow to change.
- A feminine sign: This makes the native receptive, sensitive, and empathetic.
- Scorpio's preferred gemstone is red coral: Scorpios can also benefit from pink and white coral as well.
Traits of the Sun in Scorpio
In Western Astrology, a person's sign is determined by the position of the Sun. If you were born on November 22nd, then you're considered a Scorpio according to most people in the Western world. The influence of the Sun in your birth chart will vary based on several factors. However, here are some general traits commonly found in individuals with the Sun in Scorpio:
- You are impulsive: You approach life with intensity and don't like to waste time making decisions. Your decisiveness may impress some, but it can also lead to unexpected consequences.
- You have great courage: Natives with the Sun in Scorpio have a fearless quality about them. You are self-reliant, powerful, and may even be a leader or pioneer in your field.
- You are very intelligent: You have a burning passion for learning and expanding your knowledge in various subjects. You eagerly devour books, articles, and other content that interests you.
- You may frequently "go through the motions" of life: As an intense person, finding meaning and fulfillment in day-to-day activities can be challenging. Engaging in meditation practices can help you become more mindful and appreciative of your surroundings.
- You are likely to be more successful later in life: While your inspiration and drive may be lacking during the first part of your life, you'll start to see visible improvements as you enter your 30s.
Scorpio Careers
Scorpios are known for being tactical and precise. You excel at managing money and can succeed in various professions. However, your frequent urge to travel may make long-term employment challenging. Some recommended careers for Scorpios include surgeons, business professionals, military officers, scientists, lawyers, and administrators. Roles that require high charisma or charm may not be the best fit for you.
Scorpio Mantras
Mantras are short phrases that uplift and cleanse our minds, hearts, and consciousness. They have the power to relieve suffering and negativity. As a Scorpio, you can benefit from meditating with the following mantras:
ॐ नरसिंहदेवाय नमः (Om narasimha-devaya namaha)
The Vedas contain many mantras that are effective for different people in unique situations. However, some mantras are universal. The following maha-mantra, or "super mantra," is beneficial for people born in any zodiac sign:
हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे (Hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare Hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare)
