Horoscope for Scorpio 17 April 2006 ~ 23 April 2006
You need to keep busy doing things that you both enjoy. Think twice before you say something you might regret later. Take care of any pressing medical problems that you or one of your parents may be suffering from. Outdoor sports events should entice you.

There are several stories about the origins of mooncakes and the myths and legends behind the Mooncake Festival.
One of the more romantic myths is that Chang-Er, the most beautiful woman of Chinese mythology stole the elixir of life that her husband had obtained with great difficulty from the Royal Mother. The story goes like this: Long ago, the earth was in a state of havoc because there were 10 suns in the sky, and these were the sons of the Jade Emperor. Rivers dried up, the land became barren, and many people died. Seeing the death and destruction caused by his sons, the Jade Emperor took this matter to the god Hou Yi. The Emperor asked Hou Yi to persuade his sons to rise up away from the earth to end the catastrophe.
When Hou Yi asked the suns to leave the sky, they refused. Made angry by their defiance, Hou Yi, a great archer, launched arrows at the suns, shooting them down one by one until his wife Chang-Er pleaded with him to save one sun to keep the earth warm and bright. Knowing that the Jade Emperor was furious at the slaying of his sons, Hou Yi and Chang-Er were forced to stay on earth. Chang-Er was unhappy, so her husband tried to win back her favour by gathering herbs that would give them once again the power to ascend to heaven. Chang-Er remained angry, however, and ate all the herbs herself. She flew up to the moon, where she remains alone, living in the Moon Palace.
THE candle casts deep shadows on the screen,
The Milky Way dims and morning stars fade.
Chang-Er must regret stealing the elixir,
As she broods in loneliness night after night.
The Tang poet, Li Shang-yin wrote the above verse on Chang Er's sad story three thousand years later, and the story of Chang-Er's flight to the moon has persisted since among the people of the world. There are several versions of this story, but this is the more popular version. On the 15th of the 8th lunar month every year , when the moon is at its brightest and loveliest, Chinese people around the world look at the moon and remember Chang-Er and her legend. The occasions is celebrated as the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival.
