Were you born on November 15th? 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. Now let's explore the basics of your horoscope.
Scorpio Overview
Scorpio is known as "वृश्चिक" (vrishchika) in Sanskrit, which means "scorpion." Each zodiac sign is characterized by specific traits, such as the 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 sign is determined by the position of the Sun. If you were born on November 15th, then you're considered a Scorpio according to most people in the Western world. The influence of the Sun in a birth chart can vary, 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 don't like to waste time when making decisions. Some people find this trait impressive and attractive, but you may also face unexpected consequences.
- You have great courage: Natives with the Sun in Scorpio possess a fearless quality. They are self-reliant and powerful, often becoming leaders or pioneers in their field.
- You are very intelligent: Scorpios have a burning passion for learning and expanding their knowledge in various subjects. They understand that knowledge is power and eagerly seek out new information.
- You may frequently "go through the motions" of life: As an intense person, finding meaning and fulfillment in the ordinary activities of daily life can be challenging. Developing a practice of meditation 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 advancements in your younger years, your inspiration and drive will improve as you enter your 30s.
Scorpio Careers
Scorpios are tactical and precise, making them suitable for various professions. However, an urge to travel frequently 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 a high degree of 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 our mind, heart, and consciousness. Scorpios can benefit from meditating with the following mantra:
ॐ नरसिंहदेवाय नमः (Om narasimha-devaya namaha)
The Vedic wisdom texts offer many different mantras tailored for each individual based on their unique circumstances. However, some mantras are universal and beneficial for people born under any zodiac sign. One such maha-mantra, or "super mantra," 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)
