For many Native American Indians, the majestic eagle reflects the power of their all powerful Great Spirit and that of humanity's connection to the Divine. She reflects the unique ability to live within the realm of the spirit, and yet remain connected and balanced within realm of the earth.
The Native American Indian concept of balancing spirit with matter, connecte to Scorpio, is an archetypal (universal) theme that has continually reverberated throughout the vast halls of human history.
By way of small example... the 3rd century AD Christian theologian, Origen, spoke of this balance between spirit and matter.
Origen felt that this was the highest good and example as shown through Jesus Christ: the ability to simultaneously place one foot firmly in the heavens and the other foot solidly on the earth...
The Eagle - Experiencing The Fullness Of Life Among virtually all of the many Native American Indian tribes, the feathers of the majestic eagle are considered to be among the most sacred of all healing tools. It's said that the eagle represents a state of grace achieved through hard work, understanding, and a completion of the tests of initiation.
Applying this to Scorpio, it's only through the trial of experiencing the extreme lows in life, as well as the extreme highs, and through the trial of trusting one's connection to the Great Spirit, that the right to use the essence of Eagle medicine is earned.
The eagle is able to soar high above the earth and, thereby, sees the broader tapestry of life.
As a living and powerful archetypal symbol of Scorpio, the eagle is a vivid reminder for Scorpio to take heart and gather courage in their fierce battle of personal fears. The image of the eagle teaches Scorpio to broaden their personal sense of self, and the eagle encourages Scorpio to go beyond the limited horizon of what is visible from the ground.
Short Boring and Mind Numbing History Lesson Regarding Scorpio's historical association with the symbolism of the eagle, it's impossible to say just how far back in time this particular connection goes... everyone writing about it just glibly claims that it goes back to antiquity and then quickly moves on...
For example, Rabbi Joel C Dobin, DD in his fascinating book, Kabblistic Astrology, simply informs the reader that in ancient times, Scorpios were (personality-wise) depicted as being either eagles or serpents.
If I had any good sense, then I'd simply follow course by telling you that the Scorpio connection to the Eagle goes back to antiquity and then move on. Chances are that you'd "buy it" and be more than satisfied.
Ezekiel's Wheel Within the Middle of the Wheel (circa 593 BC) Granted, this is just my (wild) guess... but Rabbi Dobin may likely have been referring to the well known vision of 6th century BC Old Testament prophet Ezekiel - the "wheel within the wheel":
"As I looked, a stormy wind came out of the north: a great cloud with brightness around it and fire flashing forth continually, and in the middle of the fire, something like gleaming amber. In the middle of it was something like four living creatures. This was their appearance: they were of human form. Each had four faces, and each of them had four wings... As for the appearance of their faces: the four had the face of a human being, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and the face of an eagle...
As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them. As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of beryl; and the four had the same form, their construction being something like a wheel within a wheel. When they moved, they moved in any of the four directions without veering as they moved.
Their rims were tall and awesome, for the rims of all four were full of eyes all round. When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose. Wherever the spirit would go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. When they moved, the others moved; when they stopped, the others stopped; and when they rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. (Ezekiel 1:4-10, 15-21)
Jewish scholars have historically tended to interpret Ezekiel's wheels in a grand cosmological sense, with some rabbinical traditions teaching that Ezekiel was referring to the wheel of the Zodiac. The four astrological elements of the Zodiac form a cross represented by the four creatures: Lion (Leo - fire), Eagle (Scorpio - water), Man (Aquarius - air), and Ox (Taurus - earth).
Several modern Old Testament scholars however believe that the referrals to wheels in Ezekiel were much later insertions. This is in part because the wheels indeed appeared to smack of the much later cosmology of the Greeks.
However, what these modern Old Testament scholars didn't appear to take into consideration was that Ezekiel had his grand vision while living in Babylonian exile. The Babylonians (and possibly the Hebrews influenced by the Babylonians) already, by the time of Ezekiel, had a fairly well developed Zodiacal cosmology.
I should note that many UFO fans believe that Ezekiel's "wheel within a wheel" vision was actually a UFO sighting. But even if it was a UFO sighting, then he would have been using images to describe it with which he was familiar.
St. Irenaeus If you can't buy into that version, then the connection of Scorpio with the eagle may have its roots going back to the late 2nd century AD when St. Irenaeus (circa 120-202 AD) first associated the four living creatures found in Ezekiel (see above) and the Book of Revelation — a man, a lion, an ox and an eagle — to the four Gospel writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
"Around the throne, and on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind: the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with a face like a human face, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle. And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and inside. Day and night without ceasing they sing, 'Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty, who was and is and is to come.'" (Revelation 4:6-8)
As pointed out at Sacred Destinations (great catch on their part): Other early Christian theologians making this early association included St Jerome (circa 347-420 AD) and St Augustine of Hippo (circa 354-430 AD). However, all three writers applied the symbols to different evangelists, based on their various interpretations.
St Jerome's version, however, was the one to finally stick: Matthew (man), Mark (lion), Luke (ox), and John (eagle).
Very early Christian art (9th century AD depicted here) shows this continuing association of St John and his unique Gospel with the eagle, symbolizing the spiritual heights to which St John rises in his Gospel. St Matthew (man - top left), St Mark (lion - top right), St Luke (ox - bottom left), and St John (eagle - bottom right).
A man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle... do you perhaps perceive a potential pattern appearing at this point?
Best Guess This is just my best guess... but it's most likely that at some later time astrologers (many of which throughout the past 2,000 years have themselves been Christian) naturally appropriated this rich symbolism for themselves.
Notice here in this traditional Renaissance Tarot of Marseilles Trump card of "The World" that the four astrological elements are depicted. They are represented by the four fixed Zodiac signs: Leo - fire (bottom right), Scorpio - water (top right), Aquarius - air (top left), and Taurus - earth (bottom right).
End of the boring history lesson...
Back To Scorpio and the Eagle - What Are the Odds Need I say - that not all (or maybe many) Sun Sign Scorpios are able to fully, faithfully, and consistently access this noble and healing energy of the archetypal eagle?
In fact... having my own Sun in the sign of Scorpio, I suppose I have to grudgingly admit that if you've ever been on the receiving end of a typically Eagle type Scorpio during a brief and/or momentary "lapse"... then it's probably easy to feel that the archetypal concept of a healing Eagle Scorpio is nothing more than wishful thinking... it's not...
The Eagle
"He clasps the crag with crooked hands; Close to the sun in lonely lands, Ringed with the azure world, he stands.
"The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; He watches from his mountain walls, And like a thunderbolt he falls."
Tennyson (Mars, Uranus, Vertex conjunction in Scorpio in the 5th house)
back to the Eagle's Nest and Scorpio

Scorpio and The Eagle's Nest
This section of Dr Z's Astrology Planetarium is devoted solely to material regarding the ancient, dark, mysterious, and often misunderstood 8th sign of the Zodiac, Scorpio (with affinities to the 8th House and Pluto)
Did you know that Scorpio is the only Zodiac Sign traditionally associated with more than one symbolic image:
the Scorpion
the Eagle
and the Phoenix
In modern times astrologer Linda Goodman imaginatively added in the non-traditional grey lizard, astrologer Alice O Howell added in (believe it or not) the dove, and multiple sources point to the serpent being the most ancient Scorpio association. Of course... none of these serpent advocates ever provide verifying documentation of this ancient association. And since a 12 sector Babylonian Zodiac - that included Scorpio as a Scorpion in a starring role (via the star Antares: alpha Scorpii) - appeared no later than 5th century BC, they must be talking really ancient.
Scorpio, a fixed water sign, is co-ruled by the planets Pluto (modern ruler) and Mars (ancient ruler).
As one of the archetypal shadow Signs of the Zodiac, Scorpio often gets more than its share of "bad press" - so it is my desire that all members of the Zodiac circle will come and explore the paradoxical heights and depths of energy contained within the ancient, mysterious, and dark sign named Scorpio.
Scorpio and Sex What's the real deal about Scorpio's association with sex?
Scorpio and Pegasus Read all about the hidden connection between Scorpio and Pegasus at Dr Z's Sun Sign site. Tell all your friends that you were born under the sign of Pegasus.
Yes, my friends... each and every Zodical energy, including Scorpio, has its own unique and honored place within the circle of experience and life.
