♏ Scorpio

fixed water · Sun in Scorpio: October 23 – November 22, 2026 (computed from the ephemeris)

Scorpio is autumn past the point of return: fixed water in the season of decay, when the year's work is to take things apart and conserve what matters. Traditional astrology gives it to Mars — the fighter turned inward, strategic instead of loud — and the moderns added Pluto without changing the reading much: power, depth, a refusal of the superficial. The Moon is in fall here; feeling in this sign is never casual.

The strength is a loyalty and focus that survive what would end other bonds. The shadow is control — the grip that outlives its reason. The classical body-map is blunt about the sign's territory: the organs of sex and elimination.

In the tradition

Every fact above is read from the same dignity tables the chart engine uses — the reference cannot drift from the math.

The three decans

Two systems, honestly both: the Chaldean faces walk the seven classical planets in slowest-to-fastest order continuously through all 36 decans; the triplicity decans hand each third to the ruler of the next sign of the same element.

The axis, and the sign's kin

Scorpio faces Taurus across the wheel; the axis is about keeping and releasing: what the hand holds against what must be let go to stay alive.

Same element (water triad): Cancer · Pisces. Same modality (fixed cross): Taurus · Leo · Aquarius.
