Famous Scorpios
Scorpio is the sign of depth: the calm face with a great deal going on behind it. Famous Scorpios tend to be remembered for intensity, focus and a refusal to stay on the surface.
The Sun is in Scorpio for anyone born between about 23 October and 21 November (the exact day changes slightly from year to year). Scorpio is a water sign, ruled by Mars in traditional astrology and by Pluto in modern astrology, and in famous lives it tends to show as focus, privacy and the power to transform: a career reinvented, a subject nobody else would touch, a performance that stays with you.
The charts first: these are the Scorpios whose birth time is on record and rated AA or A, so the Moon, the Rising sign and the houses can be trusted. Below them are more famous Scorpios by date of birth, which is all you need to know a Sun sign.
