What is the zodiac sign of Pablo Picasso?

Pablo Picasso’s zodiac sign was Scorpio.

Picasso was born on 25 October 1881 in Málaga, Spain. In the Western tropical zodiac, dates from approximately 23 October through 21 November fall under Scorpio, making Scorpio the standard astrological answer for his birth date.

Picasso’s birth date is sometimes confused because his birth certificate was issued several days later, on 28 October. That later administrative date does not change the date of birth generally recorded by biographers or the zodiac classification. Scorpio is also distinct from Sagittarius, which begins around 22 November, and Libra, which ends around 22 October.

Astrological signs are cultural classifications rather than scientific measurements of personality. In astronomy, the Sun’s apparent position on 25 October is associated with the constellation Libra or Scorpio depending on the coordinate system used, but popular horoscope traditions use the tropical zodiac. Under that commonly intended system, Picasso was a Scorpio.
