horoscopes

Scorpio for this week:

In his book Making Sex: Body and Gender from the Greeks to Freud , historian Thomas Lacquer suggests that the clitoris may have been unknown to male anatomists until 1559. In that year, Renaldus Columbus, a professor at the University of Padua in Italy, announced his discovery of the “seat of woman’s delight,” and declared his right to name it the “sweetness of Venus.” I predict that you will soon ferret out and begin to share in a treasure that, while not quite as momentous as Columbus’, will nonetheless fill you with glee–even if its value has always been known to its original finders.

I’m kinda curious as to how he found it. *eg* With that said, maybe I’ll finally find my balance on my skateboard, today was an interesting learning experience.

Otherwise, my apologies to thegreyman, it seemed the hotel wanted to be a bitch about a few things (as normal), then I ended up running behind on everything else. So we shall have to plan for another night.

Scorpio for this week:

Recently, less than five percent of the world’s astronomers voted to demote Pluto from a planet to a “dwarf planet.” Some Scorpios were alarmed, since Pluto is the heavenly body that traditionally rules your sign. My opinion? Don’t worry. I agree with mythologist Roxanna Bikadoroff, who says there’s poetic justice in calling Pluto a dwarf planet. In fairy tales, dwarves are often magicians who possess hidden storehouses of riches and act as agents of creative transformation. They typically live beneath bridges, which are symbols of transitional thresholds, and are masters of in-between states. They bestow blessings on anyone who is able to pass their demanding tests. This is an apt symbolic description of you at your most potent, which I expect you to be during the coming weeks.

FreeWill Astrology

Funny, I thought it was absolutely hilarious that Pluto was demoted. In fact, I was waiting to see all the astrology sites go batty over it.

As for demanding tests….does this mean some strange guy will walk into my world and rock it? After all, that in itself is pretty fucking demanding. Or maybe it will be a kick ass girl….

Scorpio for this week:

What happens to buttered toast when it accidentally falls off a table? According to folk wisdom, it’s more likely to land buttered face down, and hence create a bigger mess than if it had fallen dry side down. In a research paper published in the European Journal of Physics, Robert A. J. Matthews scientifically verified that this folk wisdom is accurate. Or at least it is when conditions are normal. But conditions are far from normal for you, Scorpio. Cosmic assistance and good luck are flowing your way in such abundance that they’re rendering some laws of nature temporarily irrelevant. If you knock your toast off the table each morning for the next 15 days (and it’s quite possible you will, given how excitable you are), it’s not likely to ever fall butter-side down.

Now that’s awesome news. With that said, I can focus on fighting again. Makes me happy.

Scorpio for this week:

An artist in Santa Fe, New Mexico built a replica of England’s famous Stonehenge. But instead of using huge slabs of rock to mimic the original, Adam Horowitz erected his spectacular monument with 200 old refrigerators. Hence its name: Stonefridge. This would be a perfect time for you to draw inspiration from his efforts, Scorpio. Create your own personal imitation of a resource you love–a beautifully funky, playfully accessible substitute for a marvel that is impossible for you to own or control.

FreeWill Astrology

I’ll actually have to think on this one, check back later tonight or tomorrow.

This New Moon can set into motion deeply rooted conflicts that play out within your social world. Your values may be brought into question and it’s up to you to confirm what is important in your life. This isn’t about convincing others of your worth; it’s really about accepting yourself. If you discover that what you cherish is changing, accept this as part of your growth and evolution.

I’m not fully ready to talk about the stuff that this is in regards to, but I will say, that it’s echoing the conversation that shook my world back in November. It’s taken almost a year to process, and it’s almost ready to go into full-fledged action. I’ve actually been thinking on the next chapter in my life, and how I was going to write the opening paragraphs. They’re difficult ones, but ya know what, sometimes what we need/want, is not the easiest thing to actually go for. But unfortunately, this next chapter is something I need, in order to move on with the next stage in my life. This next year is going to be the prelude. And man, my 30s are going to be wild, but boy, is it going to be the best years of my life.

In speaking of horoscopes…

I check the one on myspace. How good is this for recent days:

You can feel the steady pressure from the storms of change as the Moon moves through your 7th House of Relationships. But this isn’t simply about a petty disagreement. Instead, you are aware of deeply rooted issues that may have stirred up your resentment. If some aspects of your life are out of control, decide now what needs to be relinquished and what is worth keeping.

Scorpio for this week:

Sculptor Luis Jimenez was renowned for making large pieces with political themes that incited controversy. In “The Barfly,” created during the Vietnam War, he depicted the Statue of Liberty as a drunken floozy. “Vaquero” shows a Mexican cowboy riding a bucking stallion and waving a gun. It not only satirizes the pretentious statues of military leaders on horses that are often found in parks; it’s also a reminder that the original cowboys of the American West were Mexicans. “It’s not my job to censor myself,” Jimenez said. “An artist’s job is to constantly test the boundaries.” Whether or not you’re an artist yourself, Scorpio, your next assignment is aligned with Jimenez’s approach: Don’t censor yourself as you test the boundaries.

FreeWill Astrology

Heh, boundaries eh? That seems to be the topic du Jour with me. Of course, there goes the polite way to explain boundaries. 😡 Just kidding. I promise I’ll be nice.

Ok, I just have to comment on this stuff. This is my myspace horoscope for today:
Although you might seek romantic involvement, your need for self-determination is quite strong now. You cannot let others steer your car, even if you want them to drive it. No matter what kind of logic you apply to your current dilemma, you still may not be able to figure out the best course of action because of your internal conflict over the situation. Go ahead and do what feels right, but don’t focus on the long-term goals just yet.
I find it highly interesting, especially when coupled with what my Tarot card is:
Temperance – May you find transformation. Deck: Old English.

Normally, this stuff really is just a distraction, or some potential advice to be filed away for use at some later date when it actually is applicable. But given the recent headspace I’ve been in, this one actually came as a surprise in being fairly dead on for the current times. I know what feels right, right now, and I’m definitely following it, because I feel more growth will come to me as an individual for doing so. And that is the basis of my choices in pursuing my life. I want to grow, I want to see where my potential can take me and see what I can reach with it. I’ve been fairly stagnant for the last 4 years or so, but have been lucky enough in the recent years to come into contact with people who stoke my inner fires and remind me of what I originally wanted to do with my life. In this last year, I’ve had the benefit of the Morrigan stepping in and throwing stuff at me to get me to go in the direction I need to go. I have been extremely greatful to her for that. She’s made sure that the people who need to be in my life have entered, and I’m greatful that I was able to be conscious enough to recognize them and bring them in. This upcoming stage is going to be a slightly difficult one, but I’m proud to say that it will be weathered and things will be the best as a result. But in conjunction with the Tarot card, the transformation that I’ve been going through in this last year, is obviously not over. I have transitioned to where I need to be to complete the process. I guess that might be why I absolutely fell in love with Jean Grey’s character in X-men 2. It’s about being able to destruct, and rebuild with what needs to be there, vs what is wanted.

Scorpio for this week:

Physicists at Washington University in St. Louis have found that introducing disorder into certain messy situations may actually spawn order. It happened as they worked with a network of interconnected pendulums that were all waving around chaotically. When they brought random forces to bear on the tumult, the pendulums locked into sync. The physicists’ results may not necessarily imply a universal law you should invoke in every circumstance, but it does happen to be applicable to you right now. The more unpredictable, effervescent, and even unruly you are–especially in the face of confusing circumstances–the better chance you will have of generating elegant success, and maybe even some beauty, truth, and love as well.

Heaven help everyone around me. 😀 I love being free to be me!

Scorpio for this week:

The Colorado state legislature tried to pass a law requiring public schools to put wholesome food in their vending machines. But the governor vetoed the bill, declaring that schools need the revenue from nutrient-free chips, sodas, and candy bars to finance their sports programs. Besides, he said, kids would much rather snack on junk food than the healthful fare. If you’re faced with a similar choice this week–whether to do what’s good for you or else indulge your vices and seek out meaningless experiences that provide no fulfillment–please go for the former option. The astrological omens suggest that this is a turning point, for better or worse, in your relationship with your bad habits.

FreeWill Astrology

This is kinda funny given the circumstances at the moment. However, I don’t believe there is such a thing as a meaningless experience. Otherwise, yes, there is a turning point ahead of me, and the direction I’m looking is definitely in a more positive direction.

Scorpio for this week:

Many people regard Evangeline Lilly, star of TV’s Lost, as an exceptionally attractive woman. When she was younger, that was a problem for her. “I spent many nights crying myself to sleep,” she has said, “wishing I was ugly because of the way men leered at and disrespected me.” In my studies of human nature, I’ve found that most of us, like Lilly, have had a tormented relationship with our most extravagant assets. Fortunately for you, Scorpio, you now have an enhanced capacity to be at peace with and thoroughly enjoy the potent effects your beauty and power have on the world.

FreeWill Astrology

Hrm. Well, given that I never had that problem as a child, not quite sure which direction to take this one. I am at peace with things right now. My ability with words and touch has brought me much happiness and peace. Things Saturday and last night proved that much to me.
