What the Sun in Scorpio describes
With the Sun in Scorpio, your identity is forged through depth, change, and the urge to look beneath the surface. Small talk bores you. A real conversation, a true problem, the actual reason behind a reason brings you to life. You feel things deeply and open up slowly. Your trust must be earned, and once it breaks it is very hard to rebuild. You sense other people's real motives and pick up the unspoken as soon as you walk into a room. You can fall apart and rebuild yourself many times in one life. Crises tend to clarify you rather than break you. Your growth is loosening your grip on control and letting trusted people see your softer side. People often tell you things they have told no one else.

Frequently asked
What does a Scorpio Sun mean?
That the Sun stood in Scorpio when you were born, a fixed Water sign ruled by Mars. The Sun describes identity and direction rather than mood or manner.
Is a Sun sign the same as a star sign?
Yes. The popular term for the Sun's sign is the star sign, and it needs only your birth date.
Does a Scorpio Sun need a birth time?
No. The Sun changes sign about once a month, so the date is enough unless you were born within a day of the boundary.
