Your SmartScope for October 2008:

Keep things simple this month, Scorpio! You're going to be facing some stress in the upcoming weeks, so at the beginning of the month, kick back and relax as much as possible. Things pick up and by the 14th you're going to wonder if you're in over your head with something. Give yourself more credit though! You're far more in control than you think you are. Towards the end of the month, and especially after the 23rd, everything will calm down again. Try to take a lesson from this month: you can handle far more than you realize.


About You, Scorpio:

The Myth: In Greek mythology, Scorpio represents the scorpion sent to kill the hunter Orion. There are multiple versions of this myth. In one, Hera (the Queen of the Gods) sends the scorpion after Orion. In another, the Greek god Apollo sends the scorpion after Orion because he is jealous of the attention the goddess Artemis is giving him. To make amends after Orion's death, Apollo helps Artemis place Orion's image in the sky.
Cool Fact: When characters appear together in the same myth, they often are assigned constellations near each other in the sky. But not Orion and the scorpion! Their constellations are actually on opposite sides of the sky from each other, and every night when Scorpio begins to rise from the horizon, Orion begins to sink to the other side of the sky - as though he's still running away from his attacker!
As a Scorpio, you might be... determined, secretive, passionate and sensitive
Careers a Scorpio might like: Detective, surgeon, scientist, lawyer, psychologist, business owner
