Humans have had millennia to really think about these signs and the different correlations to them. There’s so much that even the ones I am presenting aren’t even close to everything involved with the sign in question. There’s so much more like what body parts, what tarot card, flowers, crystals, you get the idea. Use this as a jumping off point and do your own research. I am sure there’s a specific pizza associated with each of these signs too. So here we go. The eighth zodiac sign is Scorpio.
The Scorpio constellation has been recognized since Babylonian times. In Greek myth, it’s associated with the scorpion that killed Orion- yes, the one with the belt- by stinging him in the head.
Let’s be real. Scorpions (the creature) are gross and creepy as all get out. They are essentially desert lobsters with a stinger. They are almost impossible to kill without smashing them with Thor’s hammer or Wile E. Coyote’s anvil. Scorpios (as in the zodiac sign) are eerily similar to their symbolic creature. They are mysterious and full of poison. They are nigh indestructible except by heavy smashing objects.
Scorpios are all about the business at hand. What that business actually is can be anyone’s guess. There’s no idle chatter with a Scorpio. Oh no. They are sizing you up and mentally tying you to crimes you haven’t gotten around to committing. The fact they can read other people like a book makes them extra cautious about exhibiting anything personal about themselves. They alone know what crimes they will commit and they want to keep it that way.
That being said, because of their observant natures, I am told they tend to be very considerate and passionate lovers. If you have the chance to sleep with a Scorpio, do it! Just be careful of their sting. Unless you are into that sort of thing.
