Scorpio is the eighth astrological sign of the zodiac. Scorpio is a water sign. Sometimes people assume Scorpios are one of the Fire signs because of their strength and passion. Scorpios have layers like an onion. Scorpios are incredibly emotional, imaginative, and intense. Not a person to mess with as their sting can be fatal. Scorpios like time to themselves, and they methodically deal with life. Scorpios always have a plan and will hold grudges for an exceptionally long time.

Origins
According to Johanna Woolfolk, The Babylonians called this constellation MUL.GIR.TAB – the ‘Scorpion’, the signs can be literally read as ‘the (creature with) a burning sting’. In some old descriptions the constellation of Libra is treated as the Scorpion’s claws. Libra was known as the Claws of the Scorpion in Babylonian.
Greek Mythology
Scorpio, in Greek Mythology, comes from the story of Orion. Orion is a giant of a man who was the son of Poseidon and Euryale. He was thought to be the most handsome man alive at the time. Artemis and Orion were hunting partners. Orion went to Mother Earth and asked her to create a giant scorpion, which then turned on Orion, stung, and killed him.
Traits
Scorpios are passionate, and if they do not like you, they will inform you of that fact. Scorpios love sex; they are physical and intimate, intense, and do not enjoy casual. Scorpios want an interpersonal connection. Persistency is a common trait of a Scorpio, and if they set their mind on something, nothing gets in the way. Intelligence is ordinary, and thinking outside of the box is expected as they come up with alternate solutions to problems. Scorpios are charming and fun to be around.
