Hi JKP,
That link you posted doesn't work for me, it comes up with an error message.
I agree that geographic context is very interesting for the Sagittarius influence, which I personally feel is more indicative than the Scorpio one.
The reason is that Scorpio tends to degrade into all manner of mythical beasts, as most northern Europeans had no idea of what a scorpion looked like. Instead of staying true to the historic image, it tends to fracture and everyone started making up their own mythical beast for a bit.
But Sagittarius is usually fixed.
In part this is down to the mythology. Chiron the centaur is easy to draw (any fool can put a mans body onto a horse), but the Scorpio myth is so garbled that all we can say is that a big nasty monster was created to bring a God down a peg or two. So the monster tends to evolve, depending on which myth you heard first and what the local tendency was. He's been an eagle and a dragon as well.
So, IMHO, any change to Sagittarius is far more significant than any change to Scorpio. Scorpio is a secondary identification - if we can find a good time/region for Sagittarius, then we look at the other zodiacs for the same time/region to cross reference the link.
