Yes, there is a way to import and use SCSS variables in the <style> tag of an Astro component. Astro supports CSS preprocessors like Sass out of the box. Here's how you can do it:

1. First, make sure you have Sass installed in your project:

npm install sass

2. In your Astro component, you can use the lang="scss" attribute on the <style> tag to enable SCSS processing:

<style lang="scss">
  // Your SCSS code here
</style>

3. To import an SCSS file with variables, you can use the @import statement at the top of your <style> block:

<style lang="scss">
  @import '../styles/variables.scss';

  // Your component styles using the imported variables
  @media (max-width: $breakpoint-mobile) {
    // Your media query styles
  }
</style>

Make sure the path to your SCSS variables file is correct relative to your component file.

This approach allows you to use SCSS variables, including in media queries, within your Astro component's <style> tag.

For more information on using CSS preprocessors in Astro, you can refer to the CSS Preprocessors section in the Astro documentation.
