What is the legend of the Scorpio?

Answer 1

Scorpio, means "stinger of a scorpion" and stands as a sign of the sun.

When the ancients looked up into the sky, in one of the darkest parts of the Milky Way they saw stars that formed the shape of a Scorpion, as if emerging from a crack or crevice, its 'stinger' raised, ready to attack. In the ancient world it was thought that the dark crack from which the Scorpion was seen to emerge, was an opening into the Underworld. To the ancients the Milky Way wasn't just a host of stars, it was the seed ground, from where souls originated. It was from the Milky Way that the spirit of mankind descended into the material or mortal realm.

Scorpio is the middle sign of the autumn triad and is therefore a fixed sign. By the time the Sun moves through the constellation of Scorpio autumn is at its height.

In Greek mythology, the Scorpio is featured in the myth of the giant hunter Orion and the Goddess Artemis.
