The old books say
Scorpio, October 23 to November 21.
The Scorpion, ruled by Mars in the old books and Pluto in the newer ones, which tells you the tradition could not agree on how to handle it. A water sign, credited with intensity, loyalty that runs to the bone, and a stare. Its people are said to keep secrets well — their own and yours — and to forgive nothing and forget less. The books call it magnetic, from a safe distance.
Astrology, reported rather than endorsed — the astronomy is the part of the book that is real.
