What is "vrishchikam"

Vrishchikam is the fourth month of kollavarsham, the Malayalam Calendar. This translates to Scorpio in the Western Calendar.

Vrischika is also the Hindu astrological sign. Its lord is Mangala or Kuja (equivalent of Mars in Western astrology). Vrischika people are very intense and known to be passionate. Typically very goal oriented and known to be hard on themselves. They can never forget the humiliation or insult caused to them. Outwardly they display absolute control over the emotions. In other words they may be seething inside but outwardly none can suspect anything of that sort.
