Vrishchika (Scorpio)
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
Vrishchika (Scorpio) spans 210° to 240° of the sidereal zodiac. It is a fixed water sign ruled by Mars, symbolised by the Scorpion. The Moon is debilitated here at 3°, which is why Vrishchika Moon is read as emotionally demanding. The sign's signature is depth under pressure: it goes toward what others avoid.
