Scorpio (October 23-November 21):

Everyone’s life is a hero’s journey, yours included. You have been on an epic quest ever since you first realized that your destiny is unlike anyone else’s, and that you have specific tasks to master as you pursue the long-term dreams that are uniquely meaningful to you. But like all the rest of us, you sometimes lose sight of this big-picture view for months at a time. You may even be fairly happy as you focus on your daily details without any thought of where your you’ll be years from now. If that’s the rhythm you’ve been in lately, Scorpio — and I suspect it is — it’s about to change. Your immersion in the next major phase of your hero’s journey will begin soon.

Well, that might explain a few things, but I’d really like to talk to my Elder about things so I can at least get an idea. Hopefully, Autumnfest will provide a bit of time for that. If not, I’ll at least have someone else there to bounce ideas off of.

That said, been doing good on meditating, still need to sit down sometime this week and do some internal work. Also, I really loved hanging out at Johnnie McCracken’s last night. So, methinks I might be hanging there some more. If any of you are interested in a weekly or bi-monthly hang-out, please let me know and I will post when I will be there.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

The most striking feature on the planet Jupiter is the Great Red Spot, a storm that resembles a giant unblinking eye. It has lasted over 300 years and is wider than the planet Earth. I invite you to regard it as your symbol of power in the coming weeks. Think of it whenever you’d like to use your eyes to see in bigger and better ways, or whenever you want to draw on the inspirational power of a beautiful storm, or whenever you’d like to transform some disturbance in your life into a long-lived source of dazzling energy.

Um, I’ll have to think on that one….

My political rant for today:

Dear J. McCain,

I am one of the moderates of this country that you are trying to court.  I can’t believe you put out a television spot claiming Obama, effectively, is the anti-Christ.  YOU AREN’T ANY BETTER THAN HIM!!!!!  Quit fooling yourself.  I’m already not going to vote for him, but you’re not scoring points with me, either.  I have enough people trying to pull the “a vote for _____ is a vote for Obama” and the “if you don’t vote for _______ you might as well go vote for _______” bullshit.  No matter the outcome of the election, I’m going to be sitting in Kobenhavn hanging my head in shame and trying to find the absolute amusement in the situation.  Because you are both jokes of our society,  you’re playing the games that politicians play and claim you’re not.  Yeah, you have a good bit of this population fooled, congrats.  It’s great to be the fool king of fools, doesn’t it?  *sigh*

Can we just have WW3 and get it over with already?  Russia’s up for it, and kicking them out of the global boys club ain’t gonna make them change their mind.  Just puts them out of needing to play by the rules.  And as sad as this is, right now they have the full house, even if the rest of the world is gonna hate them.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21):

The guy who gave his name to North and South America was a pickle salesman and writer as well as an explorer. After a stint in Spain selling his vitamin C-rich pickles to outbound ships, Amerigo Vespucci got to travel to the New World in 1499 and 1502. The stories he penned about his adventures there were highly imaginative, like his description of giant native women with huge breasts who employed poisonous fluids extracted from insects to super-size their husbands’ penises. I nominate Amerigo to be your role model in the coming weeks, Scorpio. May you, too, do what comes natural and be your funky self in ways that lead to glory and renown. (My source for the info about Amerigo is Tony Horwitz’s book A Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New World.)

Yeah, I’ve been doing a good deal of venting, confessing, connection severing, etc etc. For some dumb reason, I’ve acquired some new iron fillings and it’s time to get the magnet out to get rid of them. My sister, every time I see her, asks me how I’m doing, tells me I’m doing a wonderful job and the elevation is a tough time. It is, but she also says it makes you learn who you are, and I’m finally starting to get some clarity on that. Just need to talk things over with my elder or my brother, take my little sister camping for a girls night out and decide on the course of action for the next 10 years (gods that sounds weird to say). But yes, Mr. Brezsny, I do need to do what comes natural to me. If I don’t, I stagnate and cease to grow. Now to just get the universe to quit throwing these stupid challenges that cause me to revert.

Scorpio (December 23-November 21)

Don’t just shamble down to the pizzeria and gobble a slab of greasy cheese, tomato sauce, and dough. Instead, arrange for an interesting person who likes you to home-deliver a pizza lovingly prepared by a gourmet chef. For that matter, Scorpio, don’t tolerate mediocrity or the lowest common denominator in any area of your life. The Season of the Peak Experience is here — a time when you have a sacred duty to give your best, commune with the highest, and ask for excellence.

So, who wants to be a gourmet chef and deliver a pizza to my house? 😀 Just kidding. But he’s right. Lughnasadh is Thursday and Lugh was a god full of mastery, fermented by his foster mother Tailtiu (I think she rocks, even if she is a Formorian, so I can forgive her that trespass). The backslide, is that training is going too well. I can close my hand to a loose fist, with all fingers touching my palm. Still hurts, still can’t grip and everyone keeps giving me a Gi choke on my bad hand side. Grrrrrrrrr. Yesterday’s advance positioning killed the elbow, and today is upper body with Shelby. :/ I will say, I will have a hot bikini body come winter.

That said, I’m sore from training, my body wants to give out – but somehow wants to wake up at 6.45. Got other stuff in my head, but that will come later.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

According to Jewish legend, there are in each generation 36 righteous humans who prevent the rest of us from being destroyed. Through their extraordinary good deeds and their love of the divine spark, they save the world over and over again. They’re not famous saints, though. They go about their business anonymously, and no one knows how crucial they are to our well-being. Might you be one of the 36? I bet you’ll be acting like one of them in the coming week. Your capacity for disseminating blessings will be astounding. The ripples of benevolence you initiate could ultimately go around the planet and return to you.

Does wiping certain people off the face of the earth classify as a blessing or benevolence? I can’t wait for August to get here.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

In ancient Egypt, wealthy people adorned their pet crocodiles with gold bracelets, amulets, and other jewelry. Let’s use that as a metaphor for you in the coming week. What is the most beastly and dangerous part of your psyche, and how might you beautify it? What steps could you take to civilize or ennoble your reptilian brain? Are there any ways you could make the crocodilian aspect of yourself look less scary and more inviting?

FreeWill Astrology

Oh, my dear Mr. Brehzny, you are behind….again. I say this, because yesterday I started dancing while fighting, the Scorpion has learned to take her art to the Castle Ball. I jumped, spun, pirouette(d) around my training partner and led her into every step that she was supposed to make. I made a Capioera master smile….before he choked me out. It was beautiful.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

About nine million people see this column regularly. On average, nine of them experience a one-in-a-million coincidence each week. In the next seven days, however, I believe as many as 90,000 of my readers will have that kind of mind-blowing synchronicity, and most of them will be Scorpios. That’s because your tribe is in a phase when happy accidents and miraculous flukes are practically unavoidable. Even if you don’t brush up against a one-in-a-million stroke of lucky fate, I bet you’ll be touched by a one-in-a-thousand event.

Coolness. Now to just catch up. 😀

In other news, I rode 34 Km today…least, according to my odometer on my bike. I don’t think it’s calibrated correctly, though.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

I’m not a big fan of Disneyland, but that doesn’t mean I can’t borrow its ideas for your use. The fact is, Scorpio, the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to identify your own personal versions of frontierland, adventureland, or tomorrowland. I’m not talking about experiences and places that resemble glitzy theme-parks, but rather the wild and thrilling things that gently shock your mind into expanding. You’re in a phase of your cycle when you’ll tend to generate good luck and helpful synchronicity by pushing your imagination beyond its usual fantasies.

So this is what I’ve been feeling. It’s kind of odd, as I’ve been feeling a great deal of “release”, of late. I have lots of positive coming my way, including the addition of job hours, at the medical-based clinic connected to my team. The boys are finally at a point where we can start hanging out more and things are calming down on all fronts. With the copious amounts of non-distraction time I now have, I can sit down and come up with ideas for the above. 🙂

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Welcome to Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2008. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the challenges you were given near the end of last year. I hope by now you’ve realized that you have unprecedented opportunities to forge combinations that have never before been possible. Opposites you’d always assumed would never attract should now be headed toward unification. Elements of your life you’ve long feared were irreconcilable have been showing signs of finding common ground, and may even be primed to achieve a delicious synergy. Keep refining your primal urge to merge, Scorpio!

FreeWill Astrology

It helps to have the space to focus.  Quite lovely, actually.  Now to get working on the rest of it.

This is how much I’ve been slacking…

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) 

How well are you capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities, Scorpio? Now that we’re halfway through 2008, let’s take an inventory. One of the most important things you’re doing, I hope, is increasing your effectiveness as a communicator. What do I mean by that? While it’s true that you Scorpios gather information more skillfully than any other sign, you aren’t necessarily as blessed when it comes to sharing information. In part that’s because you believe that keeping secrets enhances your personal power. And in part it’s because you sometimes forget that other people aren’t as clued in to what’s happening below the surface as you are. Your mandate in the coming months is to overcome those challenges as you learn to express yourself with ever-greater candor and clarity and clout.

Well, it’s definitely something I’m working on, with my blood family, spiritual family, work and partner.  Mostly, learning to communicate with myself as well.  I’m amazed at how much I’ve fallen away from that, and how badly I’ve been at communicating.  Oh yeah, and I haven’t been writing here as much either, mostly from lack of ability, but also from lacking desire to open up.  But it will clear, one of these days I’ll have something of meaning to say.
