Vrscika
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Vṛścika.
In Vedic texts, the Vrscika month is called Urja (IAST: Ūrja), with which a female goddess is also associated called Urja but in these ancient texts it has no zodiacal associations. The solar month of Vrschika overlaps with its lunar month Agahana or Mangsir, in Hindu lunisolar calendars. The Vrschika marks the end of the autumn season and the start of the winter on the Indian subcontinent, and is preceded by the solar month of Tulā, and followed by the solar month of Dhanu.
