The Octopus is considered to be the most intelligent of the world's invertebrates, sharing extraordinary qualities of transformation and adaptability. Like a chameleon, these beautiful creatures can change colors to match their environments in order to hide from predators or catch their prey. In addition to mimicking surrounding colors and textures, they can also make themselves iridescent or white, like a shimmering ghost of the sea. An octopus's brain-to-body ratio is the largest of any invertebrate, and they have a massive amount of neurons in their brains and tentacles, which shows just how sensational they truly are.

If you feel connected with the Octopus, you may be the type of person who has an uncanny ability to move through life with gentle grace, as you find it easy to adjust your movements and handle any situation with ease. There is a high level of intelligence in how you choose to interact with others; you share a kindness and confidence that stems from your heart. You are also deeply protective of those you love.
