The zodiac is a belt-shaped area of the sky that stretches roughly 8 degrees north or south (as measured in celestial latitude) of the ecliptic, the Sun’s apparent passage across the celestial sphere throughout the year. The belt of the zodiac contains the paths of the Moon and the visible planets.
The zodiac in Western astrology and earlier astronomy is split into twelve signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each sign occupies 30 of celestial longitude and generally corresponds to a star constellation.
These astrological signs are used to create an ecliptic coordinate system, which uses the vernal equinox position of the Sun as the origin of longitude and the ecliptic as the origin of latitude.

A Sun Scorpio is what?
The Sun in Scorpio is ambitious and frequently participates in extracurricular activities to kick things up a notch. I respect Scorpios for their unwavering commitment to their goals. When you as a Scorpio find your niche, you may let go of the impulse to devote everything you have into what you’re doing.
