As the oft-misunderstood eighth sign of the zodiac, Scorpios — named for the constellation Scorpius, a scorpion — are known for being passionate and powerful, as well as ambitious and alluring.
Born between Oct. 23 and Nov. 21, those under the water sign crave strong, powerful connections and control.
"Scorpios are 'all or nothing' kinds of people," celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas told PEOPLE before adding, "They ooze sensuality effortlessly."
It's a fitting sign for celebrities like Gabrielle Union, Kendall Jenner and Drake, who all embody the ambition and passion of those born under its ruling planet, Pluto.
