Scorpio for this week:

It’s a good time for you to think about your relationship to human beings who haven’t been born yet. Is there anything you can do to be more conscious about making your life a gift to the future? What might you create that would enhance the destinies of our descendants? How can you conduct yourself so that you will not only help preserve the wonders we live amidst, but actually enhance them? As you ponder your possible contributions–and maybe also take practical action to deepen your commitment to them–keep in mind this thought from Lewis Carroll: “It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backward.”

I think the boy is finally catching up with me. Amazing. Hrm.

Scorpio for this week:

“Many of us don’t change until we’re in crisis mode,” notes psychologist Robert Maurer, “until our mate leaves us or we lose our job. Once that moment comes we look for a big leap to get out of pain.” Unfortunately, big leaps under pressure usually don’t work. If you really want to change, you have to accomplish it little by little, and it’s best to begin long before you’re feeling miserable, scared, or backed into a corner. I mention this, Scorpio, because it’s a perfect time to launch a step-by-step course correction that will ensure you won’t get pinched by a predicament in April. Start modifying your behavior and adjusting your attitude while you’re at the top of your game.

Read that last night before the storm of my project hit. But, I’ve been able to put that into perspective now, and all I have to do is send out the promo to The Donovan so he can post my request for assistance. Then, late last night, I got the request to do some back-end work on the Concert, which has been taken care of, sufficiently at this point.

So, onto my regularly scheduled job. And I should make an attempt to make it to the gym today.

Oh yes, my Zoomie is testing for TSG today, so everyone cross your fingers….please. 🙂

Now here’s a scary thought…

Scorpio for this week:

In the coming days, Scorpio, you will almost certainly become pregnant–if not by literally conceiving a fetus, then by germinating the metaphorical equivalent. Do you have any idea about what’s getting ready to sprout within you? I hope so, because if you do, it means you’re attuned to the secrets that have been ripening in the fertile depths. But if you don’t know anything about the new life that’s stirring, drop everything and find out. You need to be a fully conscious participant in the gestation.

FreeWill Astrology

If I’m pregnant, I wanna know who knocked me up in my sleep, they owe me.

Scorpio for this week:

Burning Man, the annual festival in the Nevada desert, is experiencing a crisis. Some long-term supporters are unhappy about the direction it has taken in recent years. Chicken John Rinaldi told the San Francisco Chronicle that it used to be a joyfully chaotic jubilee of surprising art, but lately has turned into a mindless party and “giant group hug–a petting zoo for overweight people in their mid-40s.” At the next Burning Man in August, Rinaldi hopes to restore what he sees as its radical mission. Is there a comparable development happening in your life, Scorpio? Has an institution or ideal you’ve held dear begun to decline or lose its way? I bet there is. So what are you waiting for? Go out and fix it; redeem it; revive its glory.

FreeWill Astrology

Must think on this one. Because, yet again, I seem to be about 2 weeks ahead of my Astrology boy. Hrm. Maybe he needs to drink more coffee, or invest in better uppers.

Scorpio for this week:

The python is your power animal right now, Scorpio. It’s renowned for eating large meals. By stretching its jaws, it can devour an entire deer or crocodile in one sitting, providing enough nutrition for as long as a year. Somewhat like the python, you’re now in position to ingest a huge amount of food for thought–a banquet of rich and tasty revelations. The feast will take months to digest, and will be a continual source of nourishment the entire time.

Hey poisongirl, maybe this is why your girls were so active while I was there. *eg*

Scorpio this week:

Happy Valentine Daze, Scorpio! The three love offerings I have might be a challenge for you to receive in the same generous spirit with which I’m giving them. Nevertheless, the astrological omens suggest this is one of those rare times when you can truly benefit from their bracing advice. So here are my gifts, starting with an insight from author Zora Neale Hurston: “Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.” Your second oracle comes from writer James Baldwin: “Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.” My third offering is from novelist Iris Murdoch: “Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.”

FreeWill Astrology

Ok. Well, here’s my take….Love makes you do stupid things that you’d never consider doing otherwise. Love is a sweet torture that can devour the weak-willed. And last but not least….Love can make you blind.

Not that I’m cynical about love, I wallow in it as much as possible (as most of you have noticed), but I despise Val’s Day. But I will say this, for this time of year….Why spend one day being sweet and romantic to a lover, when you have 364 other days to show it as well? And plus, it makes getting into nice restaurants, like my fav, a pain in the fucking ass.

Scorpio for this week:

For the first time in thousands of years, grass is now growing year-round in Antarctica. Winter temperatures have risen nine degrees Fahrenheit in the last thirty years, allowing wild lawns to spread where there were once ice sheets. I see a comparable metamorphosis for you in the coming weeks, Scorpio. A once-barren or frozen landscape in your psyche will show signs of vibrant life. A part of your world that has been inhospitable will welcome you

FreeWill Astrology

Funny, and to think I thanked my Evil Fraternal Twin for facilitating the spark that brought me back to life. *giggles* And everything else that has been reminding me what it’s like to be living inside. Talk about timing.

Scorpio for this week:

I beg you not to do what Robert Chamberlain did in his room at a Motel 6 in Chenango, New York last May. Please don’t buy 14 jars of petroleum jelly and smear the stuff all over yourself, the walls, and the furniture. On the other hand, Scorpio, I do recommend that you become as slippery as possible in the coming week, metaphorically speaking. Don’t stay too long in one place, don’t commit yourself to long-term plans, don’t get stuck in dogmatic perspectives, and don’t get pinned down, period.

FreeWill Astrology

Hrm, I wonder if KY would work better? And what if I like being pinned down?

Sometimes, I think Brezsny is a wee bit behind….

Scorpio for this week:

Around the age of 17, students in Denmark take a standardized test that determines their educational fate and, ultimately, their career path. In an article in National Geographic, raconteur Garrison Keillor noted that teens who earn the very highest scores are eligible for the most prestigious occupations in Danish society: doctor, psychologist, and midwife. I urge you to remember the latter fact throughout 2005, Scorpio, because it will serve as a mnemonic device for my big prediction, which goes as follows: You will grow smarter in the coming year whenever you cultivate your power to heal, whenever you expand your understanding of the nature.

Scorpio for this week:

The entrance to my local post office is an odd set of double doors. One of the doors is of normal width, but the other is bizarrely narrow, like something out of Alice in Wonderland. The only way I can use it is to turn sideways and squeeze through it. I believe this is an apt symbol for the metaphorical door you will have to negotiate in the coming week, Scorpio. As you approach it, you may feel bothered by its illogical and inconvenient construction. You may even be inclined to take it personally, as if it were an affront to your dignity. Avoid those reactions. Just turn sideways and squeeze through as best as you can, suppressing the urge to bitch and complain. That will prepare you perfectly for the weird but good luck that awaits you on the other side.

FreeWill Astrology

Gee, how right. Though, ditching assumptions out of my head and not taking things personally is a massive goal for me. I try to temper it with a good dose of cynicism, but it doesn’t always work.

In other news, I’ve decided what I’m going to do with my hair. Fuschia, with black streaks. In attempting to be somewhat useful today, I went shopping. I’m starting to hate Vicki. I have $100 to spend, and nothing fit. Not to mention I was mauled by 6 sales people, one of them twice. Seriously, if anyone has the inkling to start making lingerie, to Vicki’s standard of sexiness, for small breasted women – I’ll convert. I guess I’ll have to hit her website, thankfully I can use the card there. I did find one bodice I liked, but I didn’t have the $98 to cover the rest, and they didn’t have a smaller one. I also found an Anthropologie in that mall, which is nice. Means I don’t have to drive over to the Nuovo Riche area and pay extra for location.

And, in two weeks, I’ll be able to afford registration for my conference in Philly. The BossMan has a new position for me, which will pay nicely, and I’ll be able to afford a couple other weekend trips. One of them will be up to meet up with the Evil Twin in Chicago, the other will be later in the year to somewhere cold. Where I’ll go in-between, ya got me. If anyone has any ideas, or just wants to head off somewhere with me, just let me know. This next year is my year of the Vagabond (with restrictions based on work availability). Depending on how well this job works out….moonbird, we’re going to Italy. Both poles of the country.
