About Dan Rather

CBS Evening News anchor whose 24-year tenure and aggressive reporting style made him one of the most influential journalists.

Dan Rather the Scorpio

Scorpio does not do shallow. A fixed water sign traditionally ruled by Mars and modernly by Pluto, Scorpio is drawn to whatever is real and hidden: the actual feeling under the polite answer, the thing nobody says at dinner. Small talk is a chore; the conversation at 2am is where Scorpio comes alive.

Drawn from the birth date alone: without a birth time there is no Rising sign or houses, and a planet that changed sign that day shows both signs.
