Sun in Scorpio

Scorpio is a «feminine», «watery» sign ruled by Mars, the planet of resolve. People with the Sun in Scorpio have an attractive, refined, seductive appearance. They are strong in character and can act secretly and contrarily. They may be cruel, may go about their work thoughtlessly or be occupied with work that they regard as a waste of time. They will earn money through activity connected with water and (or) poisons. They will be trained in the use of weapons or in fighting. These people have great strength of will and can work very persistently. They are resolute, inquisitive, and interested in all kinds of psychic knowledge. They are persistent, but at times shy and reserved. Accidents occur in their lives; they are suspicious of those around them, and their own behaviour is not necessarily honest. They are stubborn, restless, energetic. Their speech may be sarcastic. They are reformers of society and are occupied with activity of a revolutionary character.

Scorpio is the sign of purification and rebirth, and therefore such a person likes to part with what is bad in himself, to change himself for the better. According to B. V. Raman, they are very bold and daring, and sometimes reckless. The sign of Scorpio exerts a coarsening influence upon them. They are adroit in work with their hands and may be good physicians and surgeons. These people have an aptitude for military activity. People born with the Sun in the sign of Scorpio are good as critics, musicians, researchers, and possibly as spies or people occupied in some kind of secret work. Since Scorpio is ruled by Mars, they can manage property fairly well. Life near water is beneficial for their health. They may become specialists in the field of music or teaching. They exert an exciting influence on those around them. (Tom Hopke)

The Sun in the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) strengthens the interest in the opposite sex. (Sri Govind Swarup Agarwal)

The Sun in Scorpio gives difficult relations with the father, injuries and diseases, especially if it is in the first house. In a woman's chart this gives strained relations with the husband. They have many expenses and lose wealth. They are ready to fulfil their desires by any means. The Sun in the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) becomes very weak and passive. It is not hard to imagine what happens when the fiery Sun falls into the water element. These are simple people; they have no pride. Pride is destroyed when it falls into water. (Mahesh Dharmadasa)

A person born with the Sun in Scorpio will possess a fierce character, will be frivolous in work, will earn money by actions connected with poison, or his earnings will do him no good; he will be extraordinarily skilful in handling weapons. (Varaha Mihira, «Brihat Jataka», chapter 18)

Results of the periods and sub-periods of the Sun in the sign of Scorpio

For natives with the Sun in Scorpio the period of the Sun will be difficult. The person will be separated from the parents to whom he is strongly attached. He will suffer greatly because of this, since such a separation  will become permanent and may occur through death. In this period he should also be extremely wary of infections, especially those that may appear through wounds from sharp and cutting objects. Also in this period the danger of poisonings and fires is great — their probability is considerably higher than at other times of a person's life. (Dr. Shanker Adawal — The System of Dashas)
