ORIGIN OF SCORPIO
The sign of Scorpio stems from the Tale of Orion. Orion was the son of Poseidon and Euryale. He would hunt every night with the Greek goddess of hunting, Artemis who ultimately fell in love with the handsome hunter. Artemis’ twin brother Apollo became angry with Orion for loving his sister so he went to his mother Hera and asked her to send a scorpian (scorpio) to kill Orion. Hera obliged and the Scorpion stung and killed great Orion. Artemis vowed never to love again and weeping asked her Father Zeus lord of the skies to put a constellation in the sky for her beloved Orion. And so he did, he not only gave a constellation to Orion but also to his killer Scorpio. That way Artemis could always see her love amongst the stars while she hunted.
Scorpio Basics
The Scorpio is an eternally intriguing creature who seems to know and guard the riddle of life and death. They either fascinate or frighten all of the opposite sex they meet. They are magnetic, lusty and endowed with mysterious powers. They can move heaven or hell with a single look. Nobody could ask for more than they offer.
Scorpio is the eighth Sign of the Zodiac. Scorpio’s interest is in discovering other People’s emotions and how they respond to the world around them. Scorpio is the Sign of Sex and Death, the beginning and ending of things, and they explore these ideas from an emotional standpoint. People born under this sign are investigative and probing, often strongly intuitive and penetrating. Scorpio rules the eighth House, a mysterious sector that rules birth, death, sex, transformation, mysteries, merged energies, and bonding at the deepest level. The eighth house also rules other people’s property and money (real estate, inheritances, investments, etc.)
The Planets Mars and Pluto rule Scorpio. In ancient Roman mythology, Mars was the God of War, and ancient astrologers assigned both Aries and Scorpio to this Planet. Pluto (and his Greek equivalent, Hades) was the God of the Underworld, and when the Planet Pluto was discovered early in the 20th Century astrologers assigned Scorpio to this Planet. Those ruled by Mars defend and assert themselves or their egos. Mars also represents our survival factor and sexuality. Pluto, on the other hand, is associated with spiritual changes, self development, transformation and power.
It is significant that this Sign has not one symbol, but several: the Scorpion, the Eagle and the Phoenix, each contributing distinctive qualities to the Sign’s nature. Like the mythical Scorpion, people born under this Sign tend to be strong-willed and wary of being controlled by others. At times they can be self-destructive, like the Scorpion who kills itself rather than letting someone else kill it. They are very determined, and once they have made up their minds, they are unlikely to change them. They tend to be stubborn, refusing to give up when others have long since got bored and abandoned a project, and getting things done when no one else thought it possible. In this way, Scorpio exemplifies the Fixed Quality assigned to it.
The Eagle aspect provides a shrewd insight possessed by most Scorpio natives… they have the ability to see what others miss. They discern hidden motives, ferreting out secret flaws and vulnerabilities. Indeed, due to the thirst for power and and mastery, those governed by this Zodiac Sign are not above exploiting the weaknesses of others to their own advantage. It has been said that counted among the most important tasks of those ruled by Scorpio is the necessity to rid themselves of the tendency to be judgmental, learning to temper their insight with compassion. Individuals who can manage this difficult assignment manifest the virtues of the Phoenix… the redemptive third aspect of this sign. Much like the Phoenix, those governed by Scorpio are survivors. In an emotional sense, they may perish in the ashes of their own destructive nature, but they can also transcend and transform. The Phoenix is regenerated from the ashes of its death, and it rises into the sky, reborn.

Ur website is amazing I’m proud to be a scorpio we shall rule this world:)
When should we start? Its a great idea.
It is not our fate to rule this world, but guide it. We are on a path of destruction and chaos. However where other signs fear and hide from this we try to understand it. Therefor it is up to us to lead the world back to the path it needs to be on and bring humanity to the next stage of evaluation.
I agree with you, Zachary. I think you meant “evolution”, but quite possibly, we, humans, are being evaluated for mass ascension. Consciousness is rising. People are waking up. Some believe too little, too late. I believe time is a well constructed illusion, necessary for the implementation of this holographic 3D perception/reflection-based experience we call life. And when we are ready… when we all finally realize that we are living in the now, not grieving and longing for the past or desiring and afraid of the future… When we truly surrender to the present moment with no attachment to time or form or identity or fear, then we shall know what being and what love are. One in the same. Word.
I totally agree with u!! And the truth shall set you free.
I agree with you
meh. i always have the feeling that scorpios are reduced to sex. right now i couldnt care less about that. i want an emotional depth and not just bodies working. other than that i am a very typical scorpio woman.
i agree with u …….110%
I am proud to be a Scorpio an absolute powerhouse sign hands down. I greatly appreciate this site for the in depth description. Gives me insight to my being and to who I am an my abilities to overcome and to triumph .

We are the mighty sign of all the zodiac signs…Opppssss “Don’t Argue”…lol
Scorpio: Your BEST of Best Friends; Your Absolute Worst Nightmare of an ENEMY.
Its much better to LOVE Us Than Cross Us….
Sit back and wait for the time to strike. That’s how we have always worked.
My ego just got a gigantic boost.. Love it.
And it all is so true.
Indeed. Scorpios are all about the passion, be it in love, or in war. We don’t tend to do things half-assed; either we’re in it to win it, or we just don’t care.
The bigger the stakes, the more we like it.

November 20 is my birthday.Totally knew nothing to do with Scorpio – Sagitarrius cusp.Thanks to this site…now i know. It’s unbelievable they way everything here is soooo me!!!!! Love it.:-)
People are so stupidly ignorant and jealous of ‘Us, they abuse the ‘great things we do for them. Mankind has needed our ‘help since the Beginning, but they push us to the End. Then, what are they left with? I’m a Scorpio and I’m Proud. November 1st-11:26 am Born. Most of my Life, people have stomped on me and judged Me, for just Being Me. They are the Ones, that Lose….sorry Envies. Respect what was Lent to You, to Help You. Disrespect it…..then it’s a whole different ballgame, One where You lose….not Us. Hats off to the site;)
We want the world in our hands only to give it right back to the people because we are selfless. Search what sign is more likely to jump on a grenade and see what you find. We want no recognition cause we prefer behind the scenes. We are erotic and sexual because we are a from the age of chivalry. We call a spade a spade and hate when people sugar coat things. Only sign to chase the demon in a nightmare instead of running. The hate you receive from people is because people hate the good traits you display. We’ll fight literally to the death. Scorpios get ready to to step up because the world is on a path that needs people who aren’t afraid to see how bad things really are. But it’s up to us to make it for the better and avoid the extreme part of our nature. Others watch out cause scorpio zone is here. And I’ll break your cheek bone if come at me wrong. Later scorp soldiers
This has confirmed my faith in the “bigger picture” and in the cosmos in motion. Astrology (the stars) hold your destiny but you have the power to change it by communication. I’ve risen from the ashes and I hope to bring the world into this higher state of existence so that they might see the beauty of it all. Thank you for this website.
To bad nobody in here seems to see the scorpio’s weakness, not only are most of us short tempered, we are so sure about our knowledge of people that we can’t handle it when peope act out of the ordinary. even though we have great minds, can see straight trough lies, our lightning fast mood changes immobilizes the scorpio. ofcourse being a scopio is awesome, some times I feel like the scorpio’s powers are more like super powers. but that makes our weaknesses greater to.
I love being a Scorpio!
Scorpios do it with a sting!
Time to rule for sure. If we all came together it would be easy, but the bloodbath for the throne would be horrible.
I love this i cant believe how spot on it is!!!
Zachary, well said. You must be Phoenix or at least ready for it. I know I am.
im a scorpio born october 30 1989 which puts me in the year of the snake which is 2013 year of the water snake right? i feel as if i have uncontrolable amounts of potential inside me and it feels like im about to explode with change and i reallybelieve i am on this planet to do something big, really big. and i believe i can, up until now ive been the quiet one in the group, never know what to say just listen and take it all in i feel like im about to finally come out and shine, can anyone help me on where i can find info on my exact birthdate
Im a Scorpio through and through. November 13 1968. I also tend to be my own worst enemy. A great freind, neighbor, brother, co-worker. But if my generousity is being taken advantage of,…..well, I become terrible! Probably why I live alone! HA-HA! God, I love being a Scorpio!
Scorpios are angry, jealous, vindictive people, full of inner turmoil. They will never rule the world because they can’t seem to master themselves. I’m a Leo sun and a Scorpio moon and I really do love my Scorpio traits (psychic, mysterious aura, deep, dark eye) from my moon sign, that sign has many negatives. Not only that, Leo’s will always rule the world:) It is the mightiest sign of the zodiac.
Correction: Leos not Leo’s
Your scorpio moon is cool. But you need to have a scorpio sun to even be in this discussion.
I’ve got a virgo moon you don’t see me reading on Virgo. I know what it is, but thats it.
I personally think that having a scorpio moon has nothing to do with being a true scorpio, unless you have a scorpio sun as well. And you’ve spoken like a typical leo. Leos don’t rule over anyone, not scorpios not even sagittarius or aries and definitely not aquarius or capricorn but they like to think that they do. It seems like it makes them happy or something.
You will not
You might have some fun for some time but its the virgos who make the systems and paths operational, especially the cute ones like me who are also scorpio moons ( meaning that once i loose it in typical scorpio way, I loose it bad, since my virgo side will make sure of that 
) and kumbaya spirit will rule the world like it once was. This is why people turn to vegan compassionate ways, use more free/libre/opensource software like Android Linux or Ubuntu Linux for desktops… or Libre Office a dropin replacement for Microsoft office 
We are the borg of compassion and love. Your willing to rule the world will be assimilated
Actually Scorpio Moons actually exhibit more “typical Scorpion” traits than that of a Scorpio Sun. As you know, Scorpio is an emotional water sign and those attributes and traits are readily more powerful and exemplified in Scorpio Moons as the moon dictates, dominates and governs your emotional state. A Scorpio Sun native isn’t a push over by any means but a Scorpio Moon native WILL be your worst enemy if given a reason to be such.
Then I guess we can both agree that there is a difference between being a sun scorpio and a moon one and also a difference in their traits.
I am virgo sun / scorpio moon. It sucked until I found true meaning of Nature/God in vegan way and heart of hearts communication. And compassion and tiny house movement / live on boat type of freedom from materialism loving crowd
I’m a Scorpio Moon and I agree that we are more Scorpio than the sun sign scorpios. It’ll be hard for sun signs folks to digest for a while but im sure Scorpio moon folks know what im talking about. I’m a Capricorn sun and Scorpio moon and im
My b’day is on Oct 27 and I’m 150% PROUD TO BE A SCORPIO!!! This site is totally awesome
