Scorpio quick reference
The Scorpio cusp boundaries
A Sun sign changes at the actual ingress of the Sun into the next 30° tropical zodiac sector, not at midnight on one permanent calendar date. Birth year, local time, and location are needed to place a boundary birth on the correct side of that instant.
- Entering Scorpio
- The opening boundary is between Libra and Scorpio.
- Leaving Scorpio
- The closing boundary is between Scorpio and Sagittarius.
- Month-and-day lookup
- The conventional range is a useful first pass. The Sun sign finder flags both sides of each changeover for exact follow-up.
