Vrishchika Rashi Nature
The Moon is debilitated in Scorpio, so feelings run deep and are not easily shown. Vrishchika natives are private, perceptive and strong-willed, with remarkable powers of endurance and transformation.
Once they commit, they are fiercely loyal. They look beneath the surface and are rarely fooled.
