RE: Morten St George Theory - -JKP- - 15-03-2018
Morten, the four-legged scorpions from England are different from the VMS "scorpion".
They are mostly dragons (with four, two, or no legs). They are recognizably different from the four-legged Scorpius symbols from most of the continent, the ones that look more like dinosaurs/salamanders/lizards (more like the VMS) than like dragons.
You can see pictures here of a map that shows their origins (the ones at the bottom of the blog are the most recent):

You can also see Sagittarius with crossbow information here:

D. O'Donovan also has crossbow information, but she can link those herself, as I don't know my way around her blog.
My background blog on the evolution of medieval zodiacs is here:

I have also posted about several other zodiac symbols:

There are more, but these are the main ones.
-------------------------------
You really need to look at the maps, in particular, especially some of the maps for Sagittarius and Scorpio. The locations of the ones where the origin are known use green arrows, and those where the origin is somewhat known, but not specifically, use tan arrows.
I also wrote about the zodiac symbols in 2013, but the newer blogs on each specific symbol have a lot more pictures and include the maps, so I don't know how useful the original blog is any more. Even if you look at nothing else, look at the maps on the more recent blogs.
-------------------------------------
Also, it might be worth looking at this one. It has examples of how lizards, crocodiles, and salamanders were drawn in the Middle Ages. It was a response to a post on Nick's blog by someone specifically looking at Europe, so it focuses mostly on western imagery, but since they are consistent with the kind of imagery in the VMS zodiac symbols, it is probably relevant:
