“It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)” is a jazz tune composed in 1931 by Duke Ellington and Irving Mills. In accordance with your long-term astrological omens, I propose that we make that song title your motto in 2010 — the standard you’ll keep referring to as you evaluate which experiences you want to pursue and which you don’t. Please proceed on the assumption that you should share your life energy primarily with people and situations that make your soul sing and tingle and swing.

Yeah, I’m late, happens when you have distractions. *eg* That said, I think I’m going to agree with my boy Rob, here. I’m finding that the directions I need to go in, and the universe seems to be pushing me towards, are ones that make me dance. They seem to be the directions that make the most sense to me, and seem to be the ones that end up most profitable. Glad I ditched the baggage and can see the signs as they come. Now, if only I could hit the point where I can start sharing the wealth with those, who also deserve it.

“Behind every face, there are a thousand faces,” says film director Bryan Singer, who worked on two of the X-Men movies. He deals with professional actors, who specialize in revealing the myriad faces beneath the surface. But I think his assessment applies to lots of people, especially you Scorpios — although it must be said that you do have mad skills at hiding all the action going on beneath your surface. This Halloween, I urge you to make a break with tradition and show five or six of the real you’s lurking below your poker face. Costume suggestion: be inspired by Joseph Campbell’s “hero with a thousand faces.”

Or the 7 Faces of Dr. Lao? The question becomes, which faces to show? The lover, the sage, the mother…..etc, etc, etc? I know one face will be the veil walker, another will be the warrior, given my station within ritual the mother will also be present. The Judge, mayhaps?

As far as this year has gone, it has been interesting. I am seeing many new colours emerge within my community. Some I like, some I don’t. There have been several judgements made, I’m predicting that more will come before year’s end. Transition is full of that, and this is a time of transition. I’m still considering where I want to go next year, or at least what progress I want made. I’m this close to telling the leasing agent for the space I’m looking at, to withdraw my interest. I understand what they’re trying to accomplish, but I’m feeling that there is too much stumbling and not enough thought occurring. That, and she keeps upping the cash-in-hand number, at this point it stands at a number that would crush my business, and that I will not have happen. I have options, I have made my contacts, so something will happen and I will be ok. I half think she’s trying to torch my chances. Which goes back to my many faces…I am very much like Mystique, able to shift as needed, yet still remaining true to the core.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

The astrological vibes suggest that you open yourself wide, try everything, and give freely. I urge you to adapt as your motto an exhortation that once came out of the mouth of the seven-year-old cartoon character Dennis the Menace: “Hey! Wake up! Let’s go everywhere and do everything!” More than any other phase in many moons, Scorpio, this is your moment to make YES your battle cry. The world is asking you to be bigger than the old you, wilder than five blood oaths put together, and as strong as the full moon rising over a mountain.

FreeWill Astrology

Hrm, sounds fun!!!! But can the rest of the world handle an unbridled Freak? If not, oh well. 😀

That said, in order to make this business flourish in the manner it needs to, I need to run full steam ahead, I need to have the outlook that attracts what I need. I called the leasing agent and said, “What exactly do I need to have, on hand, for this to work?” She told me, and I said that I will talk to my bank and have my financiers call you. This will work.

Otherwise, I am feeling quite well, surprisingly. The fan didn’t spread shit too far around, which is nice, makes clean-up much easier. Found out last night, what exactly was making the “railing is falling off the wall” sound, and it was just my neighbor and his goalie pads on the way to hockey practice. Signed the lease, today, for my current space to stay there till everything is taken care of with the new space – or I find another space. Now all I need are a few yoga instructors (send them my way please, if you know of good ones who like to work with small classes).

The important things are falling into place, for my life, that makes me happy. The rest are just details.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Your circumstances aren’t as dire as you feared, Scorpio. The freaky monster in the closet is bored with spooking you and will soon be departing the premises. Meanwhile, one of your other tormentors is about to experience some personal sadness that will soften his or her heart toward you. There’s more: The paralysis that has been infecting your funny bone will miraculously cure itself, and the scheduled revelation of the rest of your dirty secrets will be summarily canceled. I hope you’re not feeling so sorry for yourself that you fail to notice this sudden turn in your luck. It may take an act of will for you to wake up to the new dispensations that are available.

FreeWill Astrology

Well, considering I never feared them in a manner that could be considered ‘dire’, that’s good (does this mean I’m turning into an optimist?). All of my tormentors are my own emotions, if the emotion of anger can soften, that would be great. I am seriously not used to dealing with him anymore, as I managed to kick him out of my life for a bit.

But wait! There’s more!!!!

I do really need to laugh right now. Call me a convert, but in the past couple of years I have really learned how to laugh and enjoy myself, not taking serious the things that weren’t serious. It has been great, and I have found the healing properties of a really good laugh. As for the revelation, well, I haven’t had the a-ha moment on that one, and I’m still waiting for it. But I guess that will happen when it happens, no sense in rushing it because it will come at the exact moment that will be beneficial to me.

As for noticing, glad someone sent me the memo, because I’ve had too much cloud cover to see much of anything lately. Been trying to take the space to acclimate, but hey, doesn’t always happen the way I want it to, oh well. I can only work with the options I have available to me, and sometimes that doesn’t provide me with the most optimal of results.

So, an act of will? Maybe some good meditation this weekend. Give me something to look forward to, that includes tranquility and relaxation. Where to go from here? Forward.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

The Indian guru known as Amma has hugged over 30 million people during her three-decades career. I’ve known people who’ve received blessings from her, and they tell me that she can magically undo your karmic knots with her spiritual power, freeing you from having to suffer indefinitely for the bad decisions you made in the past. Amma rarely does a complete unraveling of all karmic knots in one sitting, however. Your negative conditioning might be holding you together, after all, and a sudden super-fix could cause you to fall apart. That’s the situation I suspect is true for you right now, Scorpio: You’ll be wise to undo some, but not all, of your karmic knots.

FreeWill Astrology

Working on it. I know I’m reaping some of the rewards for what I have done, and oh boy am I grateful for that. Just keep on the path.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

What life will you be living at noon on September 1, 2014? Who will you be? How thoroughly will your dreams have come true? What kind of beauty and truth and love and justice will you be serving? Will you look back at the time between August 27 and September 21, 2009 and sigh, “If only I had initiated my Five Year Master Plan at that ripe astrological moment”? Or on September 1, 2014 will you instead be able to crow, “I can truly say that in these past five years I have become the president of my own life”?

FreeWill Astrology

Hrmmmmmmm. I think the latter will be the case, as things are growing right now and I’ve made a pretty firm commitment to move forward instead of staying in one place. Gonna be a fun ride, and I’ll enjoy every minute of it.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

It’s not a favorable moment to get your honey’s name tattooed on your forearm. Maybe in November, but not now. On the other hand, it’s an excellent time to determine whether your lover is willing to have your name tattooed on his or her forearm. In the coming weeks, I also encourage you to figure out which of your allies would give you half of their fudge brownie and which wouldn’t; which authority figures would be inclined to give you precisely what you want rather than see you walk out of their lives; and which of your associates are too jealous of you to be truly helpful. Be cagey about how you apply the tests, Scorpio. See if you can subtly gauge where everyone stands in relationship to you.

FreeWill Astrology

Hrm……This makes things highly interesting!!!!!!! I can answer some of these definitively in regards to some people, others…..not so much and will require more testing. But the real question to ask…..Who would give half their brownie and not have to consider the act???? Hmmm???

But I think another culling would be a good idea. The next chapter of my life is in full swing and it’s starting out quite well. In fact, I’m overly amazed at how easily everything just moved into place. Now it’s up to me to pursue the rest of it and continue moving forward with all my plans and the life changes tossed my way. I’m quite excited about everything.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

In behalf of all the other signs, I’d like to express our gratitude for the jumpstarts you Scorpios give us. The jolts aren’t always bliss-inducing, true, but in retrospect we often say, “Thanks, I really needed that.” We also appreciate the debates you embroil us in. They force us to take stands on issues we’ve been wishy-washy about. Our gratitude also goes out to you for those times you help us lose our excessive self-importance. It’s hard to cling to our pretensions with you around, and it’s easier to get to the root of the truth. Keep up the good work. Continue to be your warm prickly self even in the face of protests from faint hearts. Know that at least some of your fans out here respect the way you push us and trick us and inspire us to go places we don’t even realize we’ll benefit from going.

FreeWill Astrology

Good, I can go back to being a bitch (though I admit that I’m learning when I need to, and when to be my cuddly cute self). That said, has anyone coined the phrase ‘migraine season’? If not, I’m doing so right now. I thought I was going to handle hell week really well, then started feeling like I was getting the stress flu. On the way home from work today, went to pick up fixings for my potluck contribution and wham! I want to puke now. So I’m downing my huge 16 oz cup of coffee, then going to bed. I have the a/c on, in case the heat is contributing to it. Monday I’m forcing the Doc to break my neck and that should help.

All that said, I hate college students. I’m sorry if you’re reading this and you are one, which, please take notes. If you are going to choose to live in an off-campus apartment complex, please realize, many of your neighbors are not college students. Most of us work for a living, full-time and have careers, or some job that requires us to hold a schedule. Don’t assume we all have Wednesday morning off and have a party Tuesday night that lasts till 3am. Also, when someone who lives near you, informs you of a slight peculiarity of your location (such as living on a hill and sound waves echoing, cigarette smoke rising – ya know, normal things that you should have learned in hs chem and physics), please remember that they are being polite. Take a note and be respectful, don’t run from said neighbor every time you see her, because you don’t want to face the wrath of your incompetence.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

There goes your exaggerated respect for warped chunks of complications. Here comes an opportunity to make a break for bubbly freedom. To take advantage, Scorpio, you’ll need to travel much lighter. So please peel off your armor. Wipe that forty-pound sneer of doubt off your face. Bury your broken-down theories by the side of the path, and donate all your unnecessary props to the birds and the bees. Strip down, in other words, to the bare minimum. Where you’re going all you’ll need are your good looks and a big fresh attitude.

FreeWill Astrology

Gods, if only I knew that before I left. Anyway, this is catch up as I missed it last week. (oops) But I do like the hiking-type references, very apropos for the trip over the weekend. That said, I kinda did. And it seems to be working for the best.
