The
Scorpion was sent by Greek Goddess Artemis to
kill Orion according to the Greek mythology. Orion
was a beautiful giant neither mortal nor immortal
but an in between due to his parentage. Arrogant
and boastful, he incurred the fiery wrath of Artemis
and thus had to pay a dear price for it - he was
stung and killed by the Scorpion. Artemis honoured
the Scorpion for doing her bidding by placing
it in the sky. Orion was also placed in the skies
as his unusual parentage did not allow him to
go to Hades.
From the little mythology above, it is obvious
how vicious and powerful the Scorpion is and this
also holds true for its symbolized sign, the Scorpio.
With endless courage and confidence, Scorpio perhaps
has the most intense personality in the zodiac.
Born with an iron will, you can be assured that
the ambitious Scorpio will do anything to achieve
her goals. A passionate individual, Scorpio is
fiercely faithful to friends and loved ones.
Great care must be taken not to anger the resentful
Scorpio as "forgive and forget" is not
her motto in life. If you are nice to her, she
will be equally, if not more, pleasant. On the
other hand, if you are nasty to her, she will
find means and ways to pay you back, twice. Shrewd
and blunt, Scorpio can be too harsh with her words
at times.
Although arrogant and rebellious, Scorpio can
be caring and friendly as well, if they want to
that is. She is surprisingly sensitive and emotional
beneath her aggressive surface. A word of advice:
do not try to fool Scorpio as her intuitive nature
allows her to see through deception of any kind.
