Roosterman No. 11; January, 2012
Scorpion-Ox Game Farm
A ccording to Alan Leo, people born with the sun in Scorpio are " very determined, reserved, tenacious and secretive. They are firm and somewhat proud, and capable of unmistakable traits of character that cause them either to be very much liked or very much disliked. They have that grit and backbone which enables them to make higher attainments than those born in the other signs. The wisdom of the serpent lies concealed in this sign, and they may become so discreet, wise and prudent as to possess a genius
that is extraordinary. It has been said " the greater the animal the greater the man," and it may be that in the animal passions there lie the germs of the spiritual force, which, when sent upwards, may achieve great and mighty things.
The Ox sign, first and foremost, is the most dependable of all the Chinese zodiac signs. The Ox person will instinctively shoulder the load in any of their relationships whether it be for love, family or friends. Most people would think that this is an unfair burden to bear, however, the Ox gets statisfaction out of the weight it bears.
Once the Ox sets its sights on a specific course of action, it would be next to impossible to make the Ox waver from its set path.
The scorpio and ox characters best describe Steve Sarmago’ s philosophy in his breeding the game fowl— a clear goal and tenacious determination. No wonder the name Scorpion-Ox.( Images and some text from Wikipedia)
