Scorpio is the eighth sign of the Zodiac that stretches from October 24 to November 22. Called 'Vrischika' in Hindi, Scorpio is a feminine negative fixed water sign.

Scorpio is symbolized by the Scorpion. Intense and emotionally perceptive, they pick up on unspoken words and speak the language of gesture. Deep, mysterious and magnetically attractive, Scorpios yearn for emotional intimacy.

People born under this sign are the most intense and passionate of the signs. Though they appear calm and quite but their anger can burst anytime like a volcano. This ferocious anger often ends up making lifelong enemies. Scorpions are loyal as friend but a fanatic foe. They possess very strong intuitive power that helps them judge people. Scorpions also have immense degree of willpower and are highly tenacious, but are equally sensitive and therefore get easily moved by emotions of others.

Scorpions are the least understood signs of the entire twelve. Usually the Scorpio persons are of a secretive, timid, retiring nature, one who does not talk of his affairs. But there is also another type of Scorpions who are always ready to argue holding their point and during this they can become very cruel. They usually have an explosive temper. Such temper is often harmful for the health.
