Scorpio for this week:

You won’t believe how talented you’re going to be at blending pragmatism and idealism in the coming days, Scorpio. You may be amazed at your knack for being down to earth and up in the clouds at the same time. Among the feats you could accomplish are the following: making money from doing what you love; acquiring crucial nuts and bolts for a long-deferred fantasy; and turning lead into gold just in time to make a big down payment on a dream boat, dream home, or dream trip.

I will have to revisit this tonight, when I have time. 😀

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

A while back I asked my readers, “What conditions would you need in your world in order to feel you were living in paradise?” I’ll report to you how one Scorpio responded, since it’s very apropos to your immediate future. “My utopia,” wrote Sandra Boyd of Vancouver, “would require me to be desired, loved, and satiated amidst messy order and cockeyed perfection.” I urge you to create that exact set of conditions, Scorpio. Get out there and cultivate the funny logic, wild discipline, and chaotic organization that will help ensure you’ll be fiercely adored.

Heh, my desire is to be standing on the edge of a hurricane of passion and feel the winds invite me into the funnel. 😀 There’s definitely more, but that would be the fun part.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
The sharks in German aquariums weren’t reproducing fast enough. Their keepers hired scientists to come up with the shark equivalent of aphrodisiacs. The most successful inducement to love was music — especially Justin Timberlake’s “Rock Your Body,” Bob Marley’s “No Woman, No Cry,” and Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It.” I suggest you play tunes like those for you and your chosen ones, Scorpio. It’s an excellent time to coax out more of the tender, romantic sides of your inner shark, as well as the inner shark of anyone you’re attracted to.

FreeWill Astrology

Ummmmm, can we get off the relationship stuff already? Although, “Slap my Bitch” seems like a good soundtrack….Although…..let me come up with an alternative interpretation: Push it, in the form of forcing the boundaries and forcing decisions that need to be made. When you don’t have a woman, you can’t cry about it, because you didn’t hold on to her properly. But if you do, I can rock your body. That work?

Otherwise this is an official “Fuck you”. 😀 Said with absolute love.

Scorpio for this week:

I believe that doing the challenging assignments I’m about to describe will put you in alignment with cosmic rhythms, and make it more likely that you will attract grace and synchronicity into your life. You are, of course, under no obligation to carry them out. That’s because you have free will, and are always at liberty to choose a path that leads you away from grace and synchronicity. With that as a caveat, here are the roles I believe you should play in the coming week if you’d like to thrive: a catalytic X-factor; a tender wild card; a friendly shocker; a nonviolent bombshell; an agent provocateur who loves all you survey.

FreeWill Astrology

Hrmmmmmmm. I think I like this assignment. 😀

Scorpio for this week:

A drunk dominatrix sidled up to me at a party and said, “Reverend, please absolve me of my sins.” I’m not officially a priest, but in the spirit of fun and games I replied, “Why, my dear? Have you seen the error of your ways?” She spread her arms wide as she bowed, hissing like a serpent through a toothy smile. “Not at all, Reverend,” she said. “I just want to clear the docket so I can go out and commit a slew of fresh, new sins with crazy abandon.” I sprinkled a few drops of her Heineken on her head and channeled William Blake: “You’ll never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough. The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom. If the fool would persist in her folly she would become wise.” And now, Scorpio, I’m channeling the same blessing for you.

FreeWill Astrology

How does one know their boundaries, if one does not seek to cross them, from time to time? Much less, how would one know where the excesses lie, or what they consist of, if one has not seen them or experienced them? There are some things I know, like how much anger I never want to feel again. How much sorrow is too much….but two things that I would actually enjoy having too much of….I want to love to excess and feel an overwhelming amount of joy. Wouldn’t it be a trip to be drunk on those two, especially for no particular reason, at all.

Scorpio for this week:

Don’t eat stale candy from a vending machine where it has sat for six months. Don’t seek advice from people who haven’t changed their minds about anything since the last century. And don’t wear clothes you acquired before 2005 or cling to attitudes you adopted before last month. Catch my drift, Scorpio? You need to evade every influence that tends to keep you frozen in the past. In fact, I’ll go so far as to say that it’s time to make yourself fully available for the healthiest kind of future shock. Halloween costume suggestions: a grinning exclamation point, a rose bud about to burst open, a welcome sign, a religious devotee dressed in white.

FreeWill Astrology

This kinda goes with what I’ve been planning, anyway. Thank you dear Rob for finally jumping on my bandwagon. I think I finally have my list done, and was not as extensive as I had originally thought. It’s amazing to look at it, and see how many issues I have managed to resolve over this last decade, knowing that I’m leaving it with very few issues. I’d also like to say, that I’m in a much better headspace today. My Scotsman and I have spent a good deal of time talking, helping me flesh out things. My downside is that my anger issues led to me injuring my training partner last night. I didn’t mean for it to happen, yes, things like this do happen, but I also question whether or not her injury would have occurred, had these issues not been present? Really sucks, and had to take a breather around the parking lot, last night, after it happened.

I am back on my Relora, twice a day this time around. My Scotsman rocks for getting home last night before me, and setting up my Airport Express, so my room can be my sanctuary. We just need to tweak a few things so the music doesn’t time out (which is odd, because my network doesn’t hiccup like that).

Tomorrow, I die again. It is my initiation, into yet another phase of my existence. I look forward to it and welcome it with open arms. I think the timing is very appropriate for me, given all that I am planning on doing in the next few weeks.

The only other things that I really need to take care of, are loan consolidations and paying off that credit card. Both, of which, I’m almost there.

I want…

Scorpio for this week:

“Dear Rob: Three and a half weeks ago, I had a dream that I was an archaeologist excavating hell. I took comfort in the fact that I was just a visitor, not a permanent resident, but my stay there was . . . well, hellish. Whenever I found an interesting artifact buried in the hot dirt, it would spontaneously ignite. I narrowly avoided getting burned again and again. Anyway, my actual waking life has pretty much felt like that ever since the dream. Yesterday, though, I felt the torment lifting. And then last night I dreamed of floating in a fireproof boat along an underground molten river of lava that eventually took me out to a green meadow under blue skies. Whew! -Sizzled Scorpio.” Dear Sizzled: Your journey parallels that of many of your fellow Scorpios. Welcome back from hell!

FreeWill Astrology

I can’t really say that I’ve felt like I’ve been in hell, although my insomnia has been a bit of a bitch lately. Sorting through my recent emotional growth has also been interesting, even though I’ve found it to be a roller coaster of awe-inspiring proportions. I think the one downside, has been trying to reconnect with those close to me. I feel that slipping away from me in ways that highly disturb me, but at the same time, this overwhelming freedom of a new beginning is creeping its way towards me.

For those I haven’t told (which is quite a few), my WT has decided to call our relationship quits, for some reason that eludes me, and which he won’t elaborate upon. It kinda pisses me off, because I see no reason for it, and he was trying to use my desire to see him grow in his life, as me pushing him away. Anyone who feels they need to throw family away for something like that, isn’t worth my time. And it sucks that it had to end this way, but I guess that’s just the way life goes. I’ve been making progress on my “clearing my conscience” post, that will occur on my b-day. So, I guess I should fill you all in on that…

I am coming to the close of another decade, and with that comes the shedding of more skin. In order to do that, I will be shedding my burdens. That is, all the grudges I’ve carried through my 20s. What this means, is that I will be posting an alphabetized list of people I hold grudges against, the grudge, and whether or not it is something I consider worthy of terminating a friendship over. Thankfully, at this point, there’s more positive than negative, least, from me. I understand that some of these might come as a surprise for you all who are on the list, and hopefully, for those of you, with whom I wish to start over, you will be willing to do so with me. Obviously, given whatever time needed to digest what I have to say. For those of you who wish to remove me from your life, I accept that choice and won’t hold it against you. There are just some things we cannot do, for whatever reasons are our own. At any rate, this will be posted on my birthday, so you have time to prep if, for any reason, you think you are on this list. There will be no commentary allowed, I will not discuss things, they will just be.

Scorpio for this week:

Eskimos of Siberia are perplexed by the changes in their climate, wrote Usha Lee McFarling in the Seattle Times. Thunder and lightning used to be exceptional events, but now they make regular appearances. Bizarre, balmy winds breeze in out of the south. Elders who were once skilled in the art of reading the sky to foretell the weather are at a loss. “The Earth is turning faster,” said one hunter. I suspect, Scorpio, that you’re having a comparable crisis of faith on the personal level. For you, the Earth may not only seem to be rotating at a speedier clip, but also at a different angle. One of these mornings, you may even see the sun rise in the west. But your situation isn’t necessarily as disturbing as the Eskimos believe theirs to be. For all you know, the signs are portents of rebirth.

FreeWill Astrology

Ya know, for the last 10 years I’ve been in the process of rebirth, and that day is coming in less than a month. The only thing, which is starting to worry me a bit, is exactly how do I want to be reborn? I can feel the changes, especially the major ones in the recent months. Things calling me to other places and turning me upside down and inside out to the point I’m not sure which direction I should go. I know the direction I want to go, but I also know that right now, that is not the direction to go. Least, not right now. I’ve looked at the map, and there’s another street ahead of me that will lead to the same spot, so I think I’m going to wait for that turn. BUT, is it better to wait, hang out at the corner for a bit and see who I meet up with, or continue on till I come to the next intersection? I’m excited, but at the same time, there is trepidation in the decision. My default reaction is to take what I can get now, as more than likely my wait will be too long of a wait. Or is that the point? I have no fucking clue, but the excitement is killing me.

Scorpio for this week:

You will soon be dealing with a challenge you have faced before: how to synchronize your two major archetypes, the lover and the warrior. As always, it will be a daunting task. You will be asked to cultivate the tender, considerate instincts of the lover within you while simultaneously feeding the fiery discipline of your inner warrior. I know you can do it, Scorpio — even if it seems impossible from where you’re standing right now.

FreeWill Astrology

Heh, one of the main reasons why my dating life is non-existent. Dating distracts from training, which distracts from a happy Saille, not to mention the drama involved is overly ridiculous. Wouldn’t it be nice, to have a relationship where I could train with no distraction. We both exist, grow with each other and enjoy each other’s company without the distracting conflict (no conflict is boring though, just don’t want the crap that’s distracting).

Anyway, on to the actual topic of the horrorscope…having done this before, and analyzed it over and over in my head, the duality of myself is one that I absolutely adore. Particularly this one. I’ve never understood those who claim “I’m a lover, not a fighter” because they aren’t mutually exclusive of each other. If you love something, you fight for it, whether it be in maintaining a delicate balance that allows the love to grow and be nurtured, or passionately taking up a cause deemed worthy of promoting. The downside, is the blindness that can occur within that passion, failure to see the negatives and appreciate them as much as the positives. Kind of a a twisted version of failing to see the trees for the forest, instead of the opposite way around. I consider myself both, and love exploring the topic of love, ecstacy, passion and enticement. Like war, love is as much as a chess game, putting the pieces in a position where they can naturally fall into place, biding time for that perfect moment where everything will line up and the plan either succeeds or fails. The ability to navigate the unseen and unaccounted for situations, and use them to the benefit of oneself, instead of allowing them to be a detriment.
