What does the Sun or Moon in Scorpio mean?

Scorpio is a fixed water sign ruled by Mars, and it reads as the refusal to be satisfied with the polite version of an answer.

A Scorpio Sun runs about a month, roughly late October into late November. A Scorpio Moon lasts about two and a half days and often reads as feeling things privately and intensely, with less patience than usual for small talk.

Fixed means it does not let go easily, and water means it works through feeling and instinct rather than argument. That depth is the strength; the cost is that holding on to a grievance is very cheap here in the short term and expensive later, and the timing of putting it down is yours.

Traditional astrology gives Scorpio to Mars, and Undersky reads the seven classical bodies in the tropical zodiac, so that is the ruler used here.
