In astrology Scorpius is the eighth sign of the zodiac (the constellations through which the Sun and planets move as viewed from Earth) and governs the period from about October 24 to about November 21. (The Sun is actually in Scorpius only from November 23 to November 30, the shortest time the Sun spends in any of the zodiac constellations.)
