Scorpio Horoscope for week of May 5, 2005

For about half the year, Cambodia's Tonle Sap River flows north. Soon after the beginning of the rainy season, however, it reverses its direction and flows south for six months. I bring this up, Scorpio, because the astrological omens suggest that you're now in a phase comparable to the time when the river makes its turnaround. The experience may feel a bit odd at first, but it's completely natural. Go with the opposite flow.

Nuts! I wasn't *great* at going with the flow when it was in the direction I was used to. :P

wh333 it's about to be a fun ride, eh?

Meteorlogically speaking....

You've been energetically connected meteorlogically to these reversals for some time. Rememeber when we were growing up in Oklahoma? Every summer, as July and August arose, a high pressure dome would build and sit over he Great Plains, bringing clear, hot, humid dog days without that seemed to never end, and were the very meaning of "stasis."

Yet, years later in Arizona, on your digs near Payson and in my Tempe time there, I realized that this very same phenomena caused a yearly absolute reversal in the local winds, creating the infamous "Monsoon." For a time, the desert explodes in storms and torrential streams and fiery dust walls 1000 feet high sweeping over the Valley of the Sun.

I find having been on both sides of the same continent-wide phenomenon leads me to flow better with the seeming retrograde and reversal behavior of energy as a necessary and expansion process of understanding.

Gee, talk about stating the obvious. :-)

Sounds like the universe is very in touch with your life right now. That's wonderful!!!

I didn't know you were also scorpio...

Have to say, this could also be applied to my life, and as your friend below says, its hard enough for me to go with the flow when I know where its going!

I guess that means if you're up a creek without a paddle, you have to wait no more than a half-year to catch back up with that paddle!

From Illusions, Chapter 1

10. A mill-man spoke and said, “Easy words for you,
Master, for you are guided as we are not, and need
not toil as we toil. A man has to work for his
living in this world.”

11. The Master answered and said, “Once there lived a village along the bottom of a great crystal river.

12. “The current of the river swept silently over them
all - young and old, rich and poor, good and evil,
the current going its own way, knowing its own
crystal self.

13. “Each creature in its own manner clung tightly to
the twigs and rocks of the river bottom, for clinging
was their way of life, and resisting the current
what each had learned from birth.

14. “But one creature said at last, ‘I am tired of
clinging. Though I cannot see it with my eyes, I
trust that the current knows where it is going. I
shall let go and let it take me where it will.
Clinging, I shall die of boredom.’

15. “The other creatures laughed and said, ‘Fool! Let
go, and that current that you worship will throw
you tumbled and smashed across the rocks, and you
will die quicker than boredom!’

16. “But the one heeded them not, and taking a breath did let go, and at once was tumbled and smashed by the current across the rocks.

17. “Yet in time, as the creature refused to cling again, the current lifted him free from the bottom, and he was bruised and hurt no more.

18. “And the creatures downstream, to whom he was a stranger, cried, ‘See a miracle! A creature like
ourselves, yet he flies! See the Messiah, come to
save us all!’

19. “And the one carried in the current said, ‘I am no
more Messiah than you. The river delights to lift
us free, if only we dare let go. Our true work is
this voyage, this adventure.’

20. “But they cried the more, ‘Savior!’ all the while
clinging to the rocks, and when they looked again
he was gone, and they were left alone making legends
of a Savior.”


One of my favorite passages ever written.
