Nature and traits
Vrishchik (Scorpio) is a fixed water sign ruled by Mars. People with the Moon in Vrishchik are often intense, perceptive, determined and deeply loyal, with feelings that run far below the surface. They are not satisfied with appearances and want to understand what is really going on. Once they commit — to a person, a cause or a goal — they rarely let go. Research, investigation, medicine, psychology, finance and crisis work often suit them. Their growth lies in trust and forgiveness: letting others in, and allowing old feelings to transform rather than be held.
In Vedic astrology "rashi" usually means the Moon sign — the sign the Moon occupied at birth, in the sidereal zodiac. It is often different from a Western sun sign.
