2017 Canadian $3 Zodiac Series: Scorpio Swarovski® Crystal & Silver Coin

2017 Canadian $3 Zodiac Series: Scorpio Swarovski® Crystal & Silver Coin

Passion rules strong-willed Scorpio (October 23–November 21), who is known to be decisive, determined and driven. Highly inquisitive, they are naturally inclined to dig beneath the surface to learn more—and once Scorpio has decided on something, it's next to impossible to make them see or feel differently!

Beware of the sting of Scorpio's wrath when betrayed: Scorpio is calm and collected on the surface, but they won't soon forget when someone hurts them emotionally. Fortunately, that same passion means they won't shy away from fighting the good fight, either, and will not quit! Trust Scorpio to be a resourceful leader and a dedicated friend who will bend over backwards to ensure the happiness of their loved ones.

Scorpio shares a ruling planet (Mars) with Aries.
The symbol (glyph) for Scorpio is a rounded "M" with a scorpion tail stinger.
Signs said to be most compatible with Scorpio: Taurus, Cancer and Pisces.

The perfect birthday gift for the resourceful, brave, passionate, and assertive Scorpio!
