Listen. “I don’t know how many of you people believe in Astrology. Yea, that’s right, baby. I am a Sagittarius, the most philosophical of all the signs. But anyway, I don’t believe in it…I think it’s all a bunch of bullshit, myself. But I’ll tell you this, man, I’ll tell you this. I don’t know what’s gonna happen, man. But, I want to have my kicks before the whole shit house goes up in flames” – J. Morrison.
I’m a Scorpio. I like this description: “…motivated, penetrating and aware. Scorpions don’t miss much, since they are highly attuned to the vibrations of others. They are intuitive, probing and very focused on knowing who’s who and what’s what. Remember, they’re unafraid, and a loss today simply means an opportunity for victory tomorrow.”
When I was a ski tech in Ketchum, Idaho, my instructor was a woman named Nicole. She taught me the science & artistry of ski-tuning. We also talked a lot about the Zodiac. A guy named Tim was also in the shop and he helped drive the conversation. It gave me a bigger perspective on the influence that the sun, moon and stars have on our being. I started tracking. More frequently, I would scan the local paper to see what words of wisdom were being put OUT THERE for me to follow.
I’ve read plenty of interpretations of the stars over the years and enjoy the fortune cookie type messages that help to make sense of it all. This week in my favorite local weekly, Cascadia Weekly, I read Free Will Astrology‘s words for the week, needless to say, it caught my eye and moved my being.
“It is kind of fun to do the impossible,” said Walt Disney, a pioneer animator whose cartoon innovations were remarkable. Judging from your current astrological omens, I think you Scorpios have every right to adopt his battle cry as your mantra. You’ve got an appointment with the frontier. You’re primed to perform experiments at the edge of your understanding. Great mysteries will be tempting you to come closer and lost secrets will be teasing you with juicy clues. As you explore and tinker with the unknown, you might also want to meditate on the graffiti I saw scrawled on a mirror in a public restroom: “Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.”
Thank you to all of you in my life that are supporting and encouraging me to be me. It’s all possible.
