Scorpio is the name of a constellation that is interpreted as representing a scorpion. It is also called Scorpius or The Scorpion.

A constellation is a group of stars that appear near each other in the sky—especially a group that has been given a name. Scorpio is considered one of the 12 zodiacal constellations—constellations that appear within a particular portion of the sky called the zodiac.

In astronomy, the zodiac is the band of sky along which the paths of the sun, the moon, and the planets appear to move.

Despite its basis in astronomy, the word zodiac is mainly associated with and most often used in the context of astrology, the nonscientific practice in which the positions of heavenly bodies at certain times are thought to influence or be correlated with human behavior and events. In astrology, zodiac refers to a diagram (often a circular one) representing the zodiac belt and showing the symbols associated with each of the 12 constellations or sections, which are called the signs of the zodiac. Scorpio is one of these signs. It is situated between Libra and Sagittarius and is considered the eighth sign of the zodiac.

The other signs of the zodiac are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

The position of the sun in a particular portion of the zodiac at the moment of a person’s birth is thought to correlate with their personality. This is what people are referring to when they talk about their zodiac sign (or star sign or often just sign). People whose sign is Scorpio are those born between October 23 and November 21.

The word Scorpio can be used as a noun to refer to someone who is born during this time, as in I was born in early November, so I’m a Scorpio. The word Scorpionic can be used to mean the same thing. It can also be used as an adjective form of Scorpio.

Example: I’m a Scorpio, so people assume I’m a jerk, but that’s just a stereotype.

People with the sign��Scorpio are traditionally considered to be those born in the range of October 23–November 21. However, interpretations vary.

The first records of Scorpio come from the 1300s. It comes from the Latin word �����ǰ��辱ō meaning scorpion.

Scorpio is associated with the myth or Orion, who was said to have been killed by a scorpion. The constellations Scorpio and Orion are opposite one another, and Orion is said to flee as Scorpio rises in the sky.

In astrology, the different signs of the zodiac are thought to be associated with certain personality traits. Traits associated with Scorpio include tenaciousness and envy. Scorpio and the other signs of the zodiac are often used in the context of a person’s horoscope. The word horoscope can refer to a diagram of the heavens that maps the relative position of planets and the signs of the zodiac. It can also refer to a prediction based (or said to be based) on a person’s sign and the location of other celestial bodies at the time they were born.

I think Scorpio’s are some of the most loyal and consistent people you can find.

Just don’t date em until they’ve matured and learned how to self reflect. Once they get that down they’re even more amazing.

All it takes is five minutes for a Scorpio to figure you out, but it usually takes people a lifetime to figure them out. ♏
