Were you born on November 13th? 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. Learn 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. Here's what makes up 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 13th, 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, but here are some general traits likely to be found in a native whose Sun is in Scorpio:
- You are impulsive: You approach life with intensity and make decisions quickly. This trait can be impressive, but it may also lead to unexpected consequences.
- You have great courage: Natives with the Sun in Scorpio have a fearless quality about them. They are self-reliant and powerful, often becoming leaders in their 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, it can be difficult for you to find meaning and fulfillment in ordinary activities. Learning to meditate can help you become more mindful and appreciative of your surroundings and relationships.
- You are likely to be more successful later in life: While you may not experience significant personal or professional advancement in your early years, you will start to see visible improvements once you enter your 30s.
Scorpio Careers
Scorpios are tactical and precise in their approach to work. They excel in managing money and can succeed in various professions. However, their frequent urge to travel may make long-term employment challenging. Here are some recommended career paths for Scorpios:
- Surgeons
- Business professionals
- Naval or military officers
- Scientists
- Chemists
- Lawyers
- Political advisors
- Administrators
Scorpios may want to avoid careers that require high charisma or charm, such as television, sales, or diplomacy.
Scorpio Mantras
Mantras are short phrases that uplift and cleanse our mind, heart, and consciousness. They provide relief from suffering and negativity. Scorpios can especially benefit from meditating with the following mantra:
ॐ नरसिंहदेवाय नमः (Om narasimha-devaya namaha)
The Vedas contain many more mantras that are effective for different people. One universal maha-mantra that benefits people born in any zodiac sign is:
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)
