The eighth sign of the zodiac, in Greek mythology Scorpio was sent by Gaia to sting Orion as punishment after he boasted that he could easily rid the earth of all creatures. Both were placed in the sky as constellations by Zeus where they appear to pursue each other across the night sky.

A symbol of benevolence and protection in ancient civilisations, the scorpion's raised stinger wards off enemies.
