Scorpius

23 Oct – 22 Nov

Scorpius, the scorpion constellation. The constellation consists of 16 points, most notably its hook shaped stinger.

Scorpius pre-dates the Greeks, and is one of the oldest constellations known. The Sumerians called it GIR-TAB, or “the scorpion,” about 5,000 years ago.

Scorpius remains at the horizon of the night sky year-round, requiring an unobstructed view southward to see clearly.
