Were you born on October 27th? 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 delve into the basics of your horoscope and learn more about what being a Scorpio entails.
Scorpio Overview
Scorpio is known as वृश्चिक (vrishchika) in Sanskrit, which means "scorpion." Each zodiac sign is characterized by specific traits, such as their symbol, planetary ruler, element, nature, and gender. Here's an overview 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 zodiac sign is determined by the position of the Sun. If you were born on October 27th, then you're considered a Scorpio according to most people in the Western world. The influence of the Sun in your birth chart will depend on various factors. However, here are some general traits likely found in natives with the Sun in Scorpio:
- You are impulsive: You approach life with intensity and dislike wasting time when making decisions. Your decisive nature can impress and attract others, but it may also lead to unexpected consequences.
- You have great courage: Natives with the Sun in Scorpio possess a fearless quality. They are self-reliant and powerful, often taking on leadership roles or pioneering in their field.
- You are very intelligent: You have a burning passion for learning and expanding your knowledge across various subjects. You understand the power of knowledge and eagerly absorb information from books, articles, and other sources.
- You may frequently "go through the motions" of life: As an intense individual, finding meaning and fulfillment in ordinary daily activities can be difficult. You might feel like you're on autopilot and yearn for a deeper connection. Practicing meditation can help you become more mindful and appreciative of your surroundings.
- You are likely to be more successful later in life: While you may not experience the desired personal and professional growth in the early stages of your life, things will start to improve noticeably once you enter your 30s.
Scorpio Careers
Scorpios are known for their tactful and precise nature. They excel in managing money and can thrive in various professions. However, their frequent urge to travel may make long-term employment challenging. Recommended careers for Scorpios include surgeons, business professionals, naval or military officers, scientists, chemists, lawyers, political advisors, and administrators. On the other hand, roles that require high charisma or charm, such as television, sales, or diplomacy, may not be the best fit for a Scorpio.
Scorpio Mantras
A mantra is a short phrase that uplifts and cleanses the mind, heart, and consciousness. By practicing mantra meditation, we can experience relief from suffering and negativity. Scorpios can particularly benefit from meditating with the following mantra:
ॐ नरसिंहदेवाय नमः (Om narasimha-devaya namaha)
The Vedas offer many mantras customized for individuals based on their unique circumstances. However, some mantras are universal. The following maha-mantra, or "super mantra," is beneficial for people born under 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)
