Dear Scorpio,
The more in flux everything becomes, the stronger you become. With every change, every uncertainty, you grow more powerful. In fact, your luck increases DUE to all the changes you are going through. You are the Bionic Man or Woman of Transformation!
So, relax, and count your blessings. You are a rare sign. Breathe in.
Then out.
Slowly, and deeply.
As you are going through an important experience involving birth right now, allow me to remind you of your self when you were younger. Your feelings about your childhood may be a little sore at this point - that's Neptune retrograding in your fourth house - but this is only because you tend to put the past into your bag, zip it up, and walk away with it.
Do not throw out the baby with the dirty bathwater, Scorpio! Please bear with me? This is from my book for your child or inner child on Scorpio.
Your sign is the sign of TRANSFORMATION. You are born with the falling of the leaves; like a snake shedding its skin, nature is already moving on to the next chapter.
Your power, like the unconscious, which is 90 percent of our brain activity, is very deep. What others see of you is only the tip of the iceberg.
You are determined, protective, empathic, brilliant, magnetic, athletic, focused, self-sufficient, and strong AND sensitive. You're also brave, unbreakable, loyal, and open-minded. You have many choices in life because your sign has not just one but THREE symbols!
You are a true wizard - if you want to be. You can accomplish almost anything you set out to do.
You are called the Zodiac Detective, because you can figure out stuff the rest of us find mysterious. Many brilliant scientists, especially those exploring space, have been Scorpios: Carl Sagan, Edwin Hubble, and Edmund Halley, just to name a few.
You have hidden psychic gifts and will leave a great mark on the world.
See how amazing you are, Scorpio?
(If you want to get this, click here.)
Why, oh why, do you spend so much energy in denial of this? Let us heal this right NOW. You do not have time for this denial energy anymore, life is too important and you have too many things to do.
Most importantly, it is a good time for you to trust your partner. On Tuesday, June 29, Venus goes forward in your eighth house of shared resources and sex. Both will now go forward, both will feel better, and both will bear wonderful results. Enjoy!
In terms of your professional associations, no one seems to be sure quite what IS happening (!) but let that be for now. Your work and future projects need to sort themselves out without human interference before they become clear. In other words, let the universe take care of your career right now.
What else can you do for the next couple of weeks? I mean, honestly! Every time you've TRIED to do something recently it's had a weird boomerang effect. Many Scorpios are forgiven for feeling like they've been walking through The Twilight Zone recently!
Whatever you do, dear Scorpio, please do not take out your uncertainties on another. Lucky Jupiter is blessing your eleventh house of friends and groups, clubs, and organizations to which you belong. It is a great time to ask for help from this sector. Even though Scorpio is scandalously uncomfortable when it comes to asking for help! Just DO IT.
The Full Moon on Friday, July 2, occurs in your third house of communications and brings to fruition talks you had in the middle of last month. Siblings, or friends who feel like siblings, are connected with these talks.
With Mars raring to go in your career section - to be joined by Mercury on Sunday, July 4 and by the Sun on Thursday, July 22 - you may be dying for some action and results from your work, but stay patient for another three weeks until you see what the universe is cooking up for you. It's incredible!
But it has to fully bake. If you open the oven to look, the cake may fall flat. Remember that warning from your mother?
So, Scorpio, until July 23, try not to even think about it. Go through your day by day, doing the work you have to, and remembering to: read some good books, get some deep massage, take walks in nature.
Plan a getaway for the weekend of July 17. The new Moon in your ninth house on that Saturday gives its blessing to anything particularly FOREIGN. To anything that is new to you, anything that teaches you something different (this can mean a literal class or course of study as well!)
Once you cleanse by going into the new, then you can come back, into your life, and see a clear picture of what is really happening. Thinking about it now or obsessing about it now will not help at all.
Following that special weekend of July 17, you can open the oven, and see your life-cake fully baked. The cake is yours. And you can eat it, too!!!
You're lucky now, you can relax. No more worrying for you. Doctor's orders!
E-mail this horoscope to a Scorpio or Scorpio Jupiter you care about - if you want him or her to do well this July!
Your days to push the envelope: Sunday June 27 and Monday June 28.
Also the days the Moon is in the SAME SIGN as your Jupiter sign.
Consult Jupiter for more on this, and on how to be successful in the world at large.
P.S. Dear Reader, Happy Summer! It is - finally - here!
Isn't it time for us to take a breather from this time of madness, of difficult personal exchanges, and of too much to bear?
How often have you been able to make a wise decision when stressed?
Research has proved that anxiety and stress inhibit the brain's ability to function. We cannot think clearly and effectively when the brain is being short ciruited with anxiety.
I'm not talking about instinctual survival-based decisions - for immediate preservation of life - I'm talking about longterm life choices. These cannot be made during crisis. We have been living in a state of crisis-simulation for almost three years now. Complete with bright kid-friendly colors telling us HOW MUCH IS RIGHT. It has become harder to THINK.
I prefer, instead of Code Yellow; Code Orange; Code Red --
Code Linen; Code Off-White; Code Putty, myself. (Thank you, Saturday Night Live.)
You need to take care of yourself, dear reader. (No matter how much success you may be having.)
You, and all that is inside of you.
I would like to share with you something that has always renewed my breath - and delight! About the choices we have, if we can but choose them...our various, incredible routes...Travel with me as you read this...enjoy the journey with me.
Extracted from one of my very favorite books, Invisible Cities, by Italo Calvino. (Born a Libra, and yes, LIBRO in Italian means book!). Translated from the Italian by William Weaver.
In Esmeralda, city of water, a network of canals and a network of streets span and intersect each other.
To go from one place to another you have always the choice between land and boat: and since the shortest distance between two points in Esmeralda is not a straight line but a zigzag that famifies in torturous optional routes, the ways that open to each passerby are never two, but many, and they increase further for those who alternate a stretch by boat with one in dry land.
And so Esmeralda's inhabitants are spared the boredom of following the same streets every day.
And that is not all: the network of routes is not arranged on one level, but follows instead an up-and-down course of steps, landings, cambered bridges, hanging streets.
Combining segments of the various routes, elevated or on ground level, each inhabitant can enjoy every day the pleasure of a new itinerary to reach the same places. The most fixed and calm lives in Esmeralda are spent without any repetition.
A map of Esmerelda should include, marked in different colored inks, all these routes, solid and liquid, evident and hidden.
It is more difficult to fix on the map the routes of the swallows, who cut the air over the roofs, dropping long invisible parabolas with their still wings, darting to gulp a mosquito, spiraling upward, grazing a pinnacle, dominating from every point of their airy paths all the points of the city.
Marco Polo describes a bridge, stone by stone.
"But which is the stone that supports the bridge?" Kublai Khan asks.
"The bridge is not supported by one stone or another," Marco answers, "but by the line of the arch that they form."
Kublai Khan remains silent, reflecting. Then he adds: "Why do you speak to me of the stones? It is only the arch that matters to me."
Polo answers: "Without the stones there is no arch."
Water (a city of water!) is ruled by the Moon, and this July we have TWO full Moons. The second full Moon is called a Blue Moon. A month with two full Moons, a rare event, is always a dramatic month.
Tending to your Moon - that is, your inner needs and emotions - will help you to remain calm, to stay in touch, and allow you to make clear and good decisions.
For your inner child needs, read the horoscope for your Moon sign.
For example, if you are a Sagittarius with a Taurus Moon, read the Taurus horoscope.
Consider your inner child's needs to be Taurus (you need home comfort and security. Think how a cat is if you take them out of their home. Cats are ruled by Taurus.) Even if you are a rock n roll, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants Sagittarius!
If you are a Scorpio with a Libra Moon, consider your inner child's needs to be Libra (you need love-love, harmony- harmony, beauty-beauty everywhere.) Even if you are a independent proud I-can-go-without Scorpio!
And so on.
Read my astrology book for young'uns, and you'll remember your original Moon needs as a child. Trace the cause of what makes you inexplicably nuts on any given day NOW.
Here are some excerpts.
I also recommend - of course - Linda Goodman's Sun Signs. Her sections on the Child for each Sun sign are still the best around. She wrote her books for grownups though. When I was a kid, her book was the only one available for me to read! I've had countless people tell me they wished there'd been an astrology book for them when THEY were kids.
Now there's mine, and it is the only astrology book for kids (and inner kids) in print AT ALL, and I am asking you to help me keep it in print! Otherwise, there will be NOT A ONE. (It is in its third edition from Penguin USA, thick color pages, spiral bound, beautiful illustrations, with a poster.) It is also an amazing gift. Only $10.99.
You can buy it here.
Take care of yourself.
P.P.S. For an individual reading, please go to PRIVATE READINGS.
Until next month, dear reader -
