I removed the following text,

It is also known as Scorpio, especially in astrology, and in fact this form is by far the more common word for scorpion in Latin, but is not preferred by the IAU.

and substituted a simple statement that the name "Scorpio" is used in astrology. The phrase "...especially in astrology..." is inaccurate and misleading, since "Scorpius" is used by all astronomers. --User:Bcrowell

This page states that the Azure Dragon contains several of the same stars as Scorpius, yet I cannot find on the pages for the Azure dragon, or either of the other three costellations that make up the Four Symbols, what other Western constilations overlap with certain Chinese constillations. Perhaps this is something that out to be added? 66.24.236.62 23:29, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would this be useful information? It might make interesting reading

Not on Scorpius (constellation), certainly. Instead refer to Scorpio (astrology). Said: Rursus 19:57, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do not recognize the version of Orion, in which Apollo kills him; there is a single version in which Apollo sets up Artemis to kill him, but that's not quite the same thing. In any case, Orion (mythology) should be helpful. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:17, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
