In astrology, Scorpius (or Scorpio) is the eighth sign of the zodiac, considered as governing the period from about October 24 to about November 21. Its representation as a scorpion is related to the Greek legend of the scorpion that stung Orion to death (said to be why Orion sets as Scorpius rises in the sky). Another Greek myth relates that a scorpion caused the horses of the Sun to bolt when they were being driven for a day by the inexperienced youth Phaeton.
Scorpios are mysterious because they are profound thinkers, secretive, passionate, and constantly a step away from the public. Scorpios quiet matches with the lethal Scorpion which symbolises Scorpio their sign. Like Scorpions, they have an atmosphere of "danger" surrounding them due to their intensity and compulsive desire for seclusion. However, this is only one aspect of the Scorpio mentality. They can be motivated employees and entrepreneurs who are capable of overcoming tremendous hurdles. They also place a great importance on their personal relationships and friendships, and they work hard to promote the best in people they care about.
