Scorpio
Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac, representing a scorpion with a venomous sting. It is associated with the element of water, the planet Pluto, and the colors red and black. People born under this sign are said to be passionate, secretive, intense, and transformative.
Scorpio has its origins in a Greek myth about Orion, the mighty hunter who was killed by a scorpion. According to the myth, Orion was the son of Poseidon and Euryale, and was the most handsome man alive. He was also a hunting partner of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and the moon.
Orion was arrogant and boastful, and claimed that he could kill any animal on earth. This angered Gaia, the goddess of the earth, who sent a giant scorpion to challenge him. The scorpion and Orion fought a fierce battle, and eventually the scorpion stung Orion on his heel and killed him.
Artemis was grief-stricken by Orion’s death and asked Zeus to place him among the stars as a constellation. Zeus agreed, but also placed the scorpion in the sky as a reminder of his fate. That is why Orion sets as Scorpio rises in the sky, and they are never seen together.
Scorpio is a powerful and mysterious zodiac sign that reflects many aspects of human nature and destiny. It is a symbol of passion and intensity that can drive people to achieve great things or to destroy themselves. It is a symbol of secrecy and transformation that can hide deep emotions or reveal hidden truths. It is a symbol of death and rebirth that can end cycles or start new ones.
