Scorpio (♏) (Greek: Σκορπιός, "Skorpios", Latin: "Scorpio") is the eighth astrological sign in the Zodiac. It spans the 210-240th degree of the zodiac, between 207.25 and 234.75 degree of celestial longitude, an area which the Sun transits on average between October 23 and November 22 each year, linked to the constellation Scorpius.
In Sidereal astrology, the sun currently transits the constellation of Scorpio from November 16 to December 15 (approximately).
The sigil ♏ stands for Scorpio's ruler Mars/Mors.[2]
