Scorpius, zodiac sign

ZODIAC CONSTELLATION

SUN PASSES only about one week, late November

The zodiac's briefest stop: the Sun clips only the Scorpion's claws and is gone within a week, the shortest visit of its yearly round. Astrology grants Scorpio a full month; astronomy grants it seven days. The difference is a neat little lesson in how the calendar zodiac and the real sky drifted apart.
