Were you born on November 7th? 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 explore the basics of your horoscope below.
Scorpio Overview
Scorpio is known as "वृश्चिक" (vrishchika) in Sanskrit, or "scorpion." Each sign of the zodiac is characterized by certain basic traits. Let's take a look at the general makeup 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 3rd, then you're considered a Scorpio according to most people in the Western world.
The influence of the Sun in a birth chart will change depending on various factors. However, the following general traits are likely to be found in a native whose Sun is in Scorpio:
- You are impulsive: You approach life with intensity and don't like to waste time when making decisions. Some people find this trait impressive and attractive. However, you may also find yourself regularly facing unexpected consequences.
- You have great courage: Natives with the Sun in Scorpio have a fearless quality about them. They are self-reliant and powerful. You know how to get yourself out of difficult situations. You may be a leader or pioneer in your field.
- You are very intelligent: You have a burning passion for learning and expanding your knowledge. You eagerly devour books, articles, and other content on topics that interest you.
- You may frequently "go through the motions" of life: Because you are an intense person, finding meaning and fulfillment in day-to-day activities may be difficult for you. Developing a practice of meditation can help you become mindful and more appreciative of your surroundings and the people in your life.
- You are likely to be more successful later in life: You may find that your inspiration and drive are somewhat lacking during the first part of your life. However, once you enter your 30s, you will start to see visible improvements.
Scorpio Careers
Scorpios are tactical and precise. You manage your money well and can succeed in various professions, including those in the realms of spirituality and mysticism. However, frequent travel may make long-term employment difficult.
Recommended careers for Scorpios include surgeons, business professionals, naval or military officers, scientists, chemists, lawyers, political advisors, and administrators. It's best to avoid roles that require a high degree of charisma or charm, such as a career in television, sales, or diplomacy.

A mantra is a short phrase that uplifts and cleanses our mind, heart, and consciousness. Scorpios can benefit from meditating with the following mantra:
ॐ नरसिंहदेवाय नमः
