My Aries cousin will give his shirt off his back if he likes you (even if he just met you), but I attribute that to his Pisces moon (but woe to anyone who thinks they can boss him around or scam him, he'll kick your ass). I even knew a Capricorn sun who put out a lot of time and effort volunteering in his community and taking some risks in standing up to corrupt powers abusing their authority.

Again, anyone can be a champion, just as anyone can be a villain. On the Libra side I can think of Eleanor Roosevelt for champion (who defied death threats by the Klan to help promote justice for minorities, and sometimes drove to areas with a gun in her lap "Just in case"), and oppressor Librans like Vladimir Putin. Gandhi and Crowley are Librans that make me think they were a bit of both (though they each had their leanings). I think the most amazing one I've personally met in that regard was a Libra sun, Pisces moon, but he tries to avoid people these days.

One incident that amazed someone else was a neighbor I barely knew shared about hardships and wondered if worse came to worse if she could leave me her cat, and in secret (both to keep her from fearing a hidden price tag as well as to keep her from latching onto me as a sucker) I took a wheelbarrow of groceries with an emphasis on paper and cat products she couldn't get with her benefits along with $20 in an envelope, something that was an economic burden on me to do, and I'm just so glad a cop didn't stop me as he'd never believe I wasn't stealing all of it rather than secretly delivering it. (She knew it was me in large part because she hadn't told anyone else about her troubles, and that I did so while trying to be anonymous about it blew her mind.)

I could mention another who was more at the Wolf level who showed both insight and compassion (though it wasn't easily seen in him, and others feared him for good reason--but then those were mainly the people who'd do you wrong if they didn't fear you, and confused fear with respect), but I don't feel like it. I'd have to count him as a protector, though. He was that way with me, and he never demanded anything in return from me.

I guess it's just that while I don't agree that Scorpio is the most inherently protective of the zodiac (at least not when it comes to strangers), they're not all callous, either, and some do a lot of good for genuinely benevolent reasons. But then most who listed Scorpio did specify that it was for their family and associates. 'Course I can share of spiders and scorpions of Scorpio that stung everyone around them, no matter what, too, just as I can point out those who struck me as much more humanitarian than the norm for people in general.

If I think of stereotypical protection, I first think of Capricorn (in the sense of sheltering).

I see Aries and Aqaurius more as defenders than protectors, Aries defending the immediate surroundings more, and Aquarius defending more ideologies or so.

Yep. A family friend is a Scorpio, and she was right there to help when my dad was in the hospital - both her and her mother, and nobody would dare get on her bad side where a loved one is concerned.
