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 )
