Scorpio is the eighth sign of the Western Zodiac. In Greek mythology, Orion was a man who boasted that he was a more skilled hunter than Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. Her twin brother, Apollo angrily sent a scorpion to do battle with Orion. The scorpion stung Orion and killed him, and both Orion and Scorpion were lifted into the stars for mortals to remember.
