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.

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.

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.
