Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Scorpio Sheep

The eighth Western sign, Scorpio, symbolizes late middle-age in a human lifetime, around the mid-50s. Often this is the time of a human's greatest impact, when they ascend to leadership or dominance, and perform at the height of their intellectual and social powers. Scorpio thus represents great potency as a zodiac sign. These are determined people: charismatic, demanding, highly sexual, hilarious, explosive. They have a profound sensitivity to the full spectrum of existence, from tragedy to ecstasy. Scorpio's element, Water, is always associated with variation, and the Fixed modality of Scorpio brings the forceful potential of Water into sharp focus. Thus, while Scorpios may fulfil many destinies, they are always likely to bring unbridled intensity to their endeavors. For long term security, it is vital for Scorpios to turn their passions outward and allow others to benefit from their depth of vision, rather than suffering under the weight of their talents and perception alone.

The eighth sign of the Eastern zodiac, the Sheep (or Goat), is the very definition of the artistic temperament. Sheep natives tend to be effortless in their command of creative expression, and to have a sixth sense for negotiating the most challenging of conceptual terrains. In person, they are delightfully social, sparkling conversationalists with limitless generosity and an infectious love of idyllic surrounds. Here and there, the Sheep personality is prone to being somewhat erratic. If anything, inspiration is more likely to strike at midnight than midday. Sheep natives are no strangers to crippling self-doubt, and are extremely sensitive to being overborne by threats or pressures. Ultimately, though, if people born under this sign are able to build resilience and find the tranquility they need, the love and kindness they infuse into their work and lives is a gift to all who experience them.
