Scorpio (astrology)

Scorpio is one of the three water signs, the others being Cancer and Pisces. It is the third fixed sign, after Taurus and Leo. Scorpio is also considered a negative or feminine sign. According to The Astrology Bible, Scorpio's colors are deep red, maroon, black, and brown. ==Myth==

According to Greek mythology, its representation as a scorpion is related to the Greek legend of Orion and how a giant scorpion stung him to death (said to be why Orion sets as Scorpius rises in the sky). Another Greek myth recounts how a scorpion caused the horses of the Sun to bolt, when they were being driven by the inexperienced youth, Phaethon. ==Gallery==
