Scorpius

Legend has it that a scorpion killed the great hunter Orion by stinging him. The Gods then granted Orion’s dying wish that he never be in the sky at the same time as the scorpion. This is why, if you believe such things, that Orion is the dominant winter constellation while Scorpius the Scorpion dominates the summer nights. Scorpius is a Zodiac constellation, with those born between Oct. 22 and Nov. 21 falling under this astrological sign.
