• Lizard: The slick, cool, and confident lizard can usually be found basking in the sun, absorbing the sun’s rays as though they were beams of invisible vitamins. The Scorpio sign of the zodiac is the ruler of this magnificent creature and can relate to its deeper, mystical qualities. Symbolically, Lizards are totems of transformation and can be called upon for prophetic and psychic experiences. Obviously, this does not mean that you have to go out and get yourself a Lizard (unless you really, really want to!), but you can buy (or make) yourself a totem or reminder of this enigma of a specimen. A figurine, photograph, painting, or carving will do just fine. What matters most is the connection to the vision.

• Butterfly: The exquisite and evasive butterfly…this beauty of a creature is also rules by the Scorpio ‘water’ sign of the zodiac. Besides its magnificent splendor, the butterfly also possesses a mysterious side to its nature. It is one of the few species in the universe (might even be the only one) that goes through a complete metamorphosis of self. And if that wasn’t enough, it is an organism that propels itself on solar power. Yes, solar power. Did you know that it has to warm itself to 81 degrees before it can fly? If you did, good for you. I didn’t know that. It is the butterfly’s spirit, magic, and playfulness that has the power to bring enormous joy to one’s life. It is the ideal symbol for someone who needs a reawakening of the heart…or simply a spiritual trip to dreamland!

• Owl: The wise, watchful, and silent owl is associated with the night, the moon, and the dark mysteries of life. Another Scorpio ruled aviator, the owl’s incredible sense of sight and hearing makes it a hunter like no other – silently able to swoop down and catch its prey completely off guard. The Owl is a great totem to have around when exploring the deeper realms of the subconscious or studying ancient wisdom such as that of astrology or kabbalah. It can help one be silent, watchful, precise, wise, and powerful.
