Scorpion

A scorpion — small, venomous, striking from hiding — often touches false friends seizing chances to undermine your prosperity, with loss if you fail to kill it. The dream may ask who close to you is poised to sting your interests, and whether you can move decisively against the hidden threat before its concealed venom does its harm.

Miller 1901
