Traditional Dates

Astrologers hold that the sun is in Scorpio from October 24th to November 22nd.

Actual Dates

The Sun actually passes through the constellation Scorpio between November 23rd and November 30th.

The Sun spends such a short time in Scorpio because in the actual sky, there are thirteen zodiac constellations. Between November 30th and December 18th, the Sun passes through the constellation Ophiuchus, which is not recognized as a zodiac constellation by astrologers.
