In Vedic Astrology, the Sun is the benefactor of authority, self-confidence, father figures, government, and professional status. Therefore, its transit through different zodiac signs will affect how each person expresses their ambitions and handles responsibilities.
Scorpio (ruled by Mars) is a fixed water sign associated with transformation, research, the hidden, and emotional intensity. The Sun has a very friendly relationship with Mars, so Scorpio is a very supportive sign for determination, courage, and leadership.
People may be motivated to deal with things they’ve been putting off during this transit. It can be a catalyst for deeper thinking, greater financial awareness and a readiness to make the hard decisions that need to be made. On the flip side, Scorpio’s intensity can also make some people more secretive, more controlling, or more emotionally reactive.
Let’s look at how this planetary movement might impact each zodiac sign.
