Happy Birthday Scorpio

Things concerning the responsibilities in relationships are about to get more restrictive and serious. To complicate matters, you are not as clear about what you want from your relationships as you’d like to be. To be further difficult, you may also feel tongue tied about how you want to say certain things but your conscience and your desire to be only partially up front may get in the way of a smooth presentation. This makes you extremely insecure about saying anything at all for fear of being taken the wrong way. Heavy meditation and contemplation are needed, not to mention more alone time to work things through. This whole scenario will “snap into place” on the 30th. This is not a short term phase. The long run will be two and a half years. Because of this it’s imperative that you start off on a comfortable footing after you’ve made your mind up about what you really want.

On the more positive side, any contracts, communications or short trips bring the beginnings of a solid sense of rapport with others. Look at what you feel that you are “supposed” to do and work from there. Your public image will be molded by the decisions that you make now and, if done in clear conscience, will benefit tremendously.

Recently you’ve found that you are running up against the “wall of pride” in the professionals that you must deal with. Or, maybe, you’re the professional projecting that pride. Which ever is the case, bite your tongue, count to ten and do what you were originally going to do before you were the recipient of that projection. This is just a distraction from what others fear you may gain in their domain. In this economy, people have become extremely protective of what they believe is theirs.

In regard to health, be careful of lower back, the kidneys and any fast movements without thought that may affect the head area. Take your time and move slowly. This effect will have a slow build up and occur the most strongly beginning in May. This is not about a temporary “watch out” but about a permanent change in how you physically move about. Yoga, T’ai Chi and any form of stretching exercises will remove accident potential.

Beginning from now and until December 30th, watch out for “Smokey” hiding behind the trees. You pride yourself in being slippery where the law is concerned. Right now you are not “invisible.” The classic astrology books call it a traffic ticket every time.

This is also a time to look into your roots for an understanding of how you move through the world. There is tremendous benefit in collaborating and learning from your family connections. Right now they offer an excellent mirror for seeing how and why you present yourself and repress your “shadow” the way you do. Take advantage even though they may be extremely annoying to deal with. The holidays should be really interesting for you. Make believe you’re watching a movie.
