Scorpion Baby Zodiac

Scorpion (Latin Scorpio, Scorpius, Scorpius; IAU name Scorpius, abbreviated Sco) is a constellation of the ecliptic. Scorpio is an imposing constellation in the southern sky. A sinuous, bright chain of stars forms the well-known asterism, which reveals the shape of a scorpion with claws and erect stinger. Due to its southern position the constellation can be found from central Europe only in summer, just at the southern horizon. North of the 40th parallel it is only partially visible. It is located near the center of the Milky Way and therefore contains a large number of star clusters and nebulae. 

The ecliptic passes through Scorpio, so the Sun, Moon and planets pass through the constellation. Thus it belongs to the signs of the zodiac. Due to the precession motion of the Earth's axis, the time of the Sun's passage has shifted compared to ancient times. The sun currently stays in Scorpio from November 23 to 30. This is the shortest stay in a constellation during the year.  The constellation was already known in Sumerian times and was associated with the goddess Išḫara. The modern meaning of the constellation dates back to the ancient Greeks. Scorpio is one of the 48 classical constellations described by Ptolemy.

The Chinese saw the constellation as a powerful but benevolent dragon whose appearance heralded spring. Pre-Columbian cultures also saw a scorpion in the constellation. The Maya used the term zinaan ek (stars of the scorpion). John Barantine of the Point Observatory in New Mexico sees a representation of the May 1, 1006 supernova in the constellation Scorpio in a stone carving made by the Hohokam culture in North America. The constellation has changed somewhat due to the establishment of the boundaries of the modern constellations that are in effect today. Scorpio lost with the star γ (Sigma Librae) its southern scissors to the constellation Libra, but got from the constellation Angular Measure its main stars α (now N Scorpii) and β (now H Scorpii) in addition.
