If You Love A Scorpio, Give Them A Hug...They Need It Right Now

[bloodrayne]

I posted this in a bulletin on MySpace, but not everyone is on MySpace, so I figured I'd bring it here, too

Skip the 'Astrology is bullshit' responses, I'm aware

Now, for the important part

Scorpio is going through a 'trials and tribulations' phase, it's as bad as the 'transistion phase' that Tauruses had to suffer through last year, so pay attention Scorpios...We are being SEVERELY tested right now...

I haven't even talked to most of you recently (because I'm dealing with my own shit at the moment), but if you're a REAL Scorpio, you know exactly what the hell I'm rambling on about

Just keep in mind that this time of year isn't one of our best times to begin with, so it just figures that this would happen NOW...Also keep in mind that OUR time is in the fall (that's when our energy is at its peak...We rise from the ashes like the Phoenix), so all the shit you're dealing with right now, should be resolved by October-November, if we work on it now and give it all we've got

You are probably experiencing one or more of the following:

1) Financial problems
2) Problems at work
3) Car trouble
4) Things breaking and having to be fixed or replaced at home
5) Relationship problems
6) Illnesses
7) Just about anything that could make life a bit difficult

As for ME (If you're interested)

All of this has happened in the past week and a half:

1) Seri wrecked her Jeep...She's fine (Luckily and happily), but I had to bribe the towtruck driver to bring her and her vehicle to my house, out of his county, and to keep it out of their shop where they tow wrecked vehicles...$140 cash

2) The impeller broke inside of our swimming pool filter pump (the pump was only 1 month old, supposed to last for 3 years), and I STILL can't find any replacement filters for the pump

3) The receipt that I needed to get the pump replaced was the ONLY receipt (out of several) that the baby just happened to pour water on and ruin

4) After replacing and gathering all of the info that I needed to get the pump replaced and faxing it to the manufacturer, I'm pretty sure that they somehow didn't receive the fax because I haven't heard anything back...So, still no filtration for the swimming pool

5) Dustin's paycheck BOUNCED...His PAYCHECK...That NEVER happens...As a result, I can't pay our car insurance until it's straightened out (it's due by the first), and our bank account is now seriously overdrawn, WITH the resulting fees added

6) We got the front steps fixed last weekend, but now the backyard gate is broken...No idea how it happened...Has to be fixed

7) Night before last the baby was throwing up from about midnight to almost 8am...He threw up 7 times...I have no idea WHY he was throwing up, he was perfectly fine before it started, and he's completely okay (and trying to climb on top of this computer) right now

And I hadn't had any sleep, and barely have even up to now, which is making ALL of these things more difficult to deal with...I NEED mental clarity to deal with all of this...Zombies don't do this shit very well

8) The day before yesterday I received an eMail from the car insurance company about Seri's wreck, with the claim number and information, as well as a note saying that our 'insurance premium would be adjusted accordingly'...Meaning: 'You must now send us MORE money in addition to the too much you are already paying for car insurance'

9) That night, the boys were rough-housing upstairs, and broke the bathroom door so that it wouldn't open or close all the way...Gotta fix that

10) Yesterday I received a statement from the medical insurance carrier that says that PART of Seri's surgery expenses were denied because 'A questionaire requesting information pertaining to possible additional insurance carriers for the named insured was not received'...Which is incorrect, as I sent that questionaire back to them stating that she did NOT have any other medical coverage except for theirs, and they sent me back a letter saying that it had been received and claims would be processed...That was A YEAR AGO...They have processed all of her claims since then, up till now, including MOST of the charges that have to do with her surgery, except for TWO (the emergency room and surgery room charges)...That doesn't even make SENSE...But, it's one more thing to deal with and of course since I received that letter yesterday, I can't do a thing about it until Monday

11) Last night, as Dustin was leaving for work...The truck wouldn't start...Gotta fix that today (with no money, because the paycheck he put into the account yesterday doesn't even cover the deficit made by the fact that the paycheck before that one bounced)


And there's MORE, but I'll have mercy on you guys and leave it at this...I'm pretty sure you're getting the point anyway...


So...In short...Be strong Scorpios, we CAN and WILL get through all of this (because we DO), and just know that it isn't your fault, you haven't been cursed, and I sympathize with you 100%...The universe has simply decided to test our strength and abilities


And NOW we're out of toilet paper!...*sigh*

:p

[crabapple]

Hmmmmmmmmm! (thinking)

[Despare]

Haven't had anything unusual yet... but I'm sure it's coming. Maybe you've just had enough bad luck for all of us.

[_____V_____]

Well...my wife is a Scorpio...and she's going through some of those rough patches right now...

- Her work has suddenly increased so much she's bringin her accounting books to home and maintainin em till 1-2 AM at night. Sleep deprivation is makin her a bit cranky and she gets irritated at the slightest things.

- Our dog whom she adores and loves very much has suddenly gone sick, and she's worried as hell about him. The doc's been around and gave him some shots, but he hasnt improved.

- Yesterday she cooked some potatoes then threw em away in disgust because they didnt taste good. I told her I would have eaten it, but anyway...

- She had saved some money but forgot that she had spent it on some repairs and purchases earlier. She did some shopping at the mall and sure enough, her purse was near-empty. Thank god for my credit card...

- She's running a slight temperature and by the symptoms...she ll get cold and the flu very soon. I am worried...

- Her boss has become very demanding at work. She has had 1-2 verbal fights with him and feels very low by the time she returns home. Since I ve been out for the past 10 days out of 12, she's been missing me as heck.

The good thing is that she feels a lot better with me around...so I m trying to be around for her. Nothing like a smile on that beautiful face...but my work keeps me out of home for long periods of time so...

O well...we will get through this...eventually...

Good luck to all of you Scorpios, ill-starred though you might be at the moment. My best advice is to remember how strong you are, and that Scorpios don't take any shit, they dish it out in abundance. I'm moved by your faith, bloodrayne. Thanks for reminding me and everyone else that these things come up and people survive them.

[bloodrayne]

@ Despare...There's a good chance that you have something in your astral chart that keeps you from being a full, 100% Scorpio...That would keep you from getting hit by this...If not, I hope it doesn't hit you TOO hard (but, it seems like it would have most certainly done it by now if it was going to because the cycle is in full swing at the moment and should be winding down in about 2-4 weeks)...It seriously sucks

These wide-sweeping cosmic events usually only hit one sign, and at one time per year...They can be good or bad, but extreme one way or the other...I'll be really happy when this one is over


@ V: I feel for your wife, I really do...The sleep deprivation is part of the 'test' to see how well you perform when you're at your worst...I know it sounds weird (and kinda stupid) but, if you're going through it, you can TOTALLY understand it...

I have no idea why (or how) these events occur and how the planetary alignments can cause it...But, they CAN truly end up being cataclysmic events...

Luckily for Scorpio, this one depends on US...Our actions will determine the outcome...As with any test, if we do everything right, we will pass and all should be much better in the fall...If we give up, or buckle under the pressure, we will fail (we could lose our homes, our relationships, our jobs, etcetera...I'm serious, this really IS a pretty big one)...It's that simple

Scorpios are strong enough to do this...We have everything it takes to overcome it...Our only downfall could be our impatience, because this isn't something that can be done RIGHT NOW, especially when we keep getting hit with something NEW every damned day or two:mad:

The key to this one is to deal with each problem as it comes, take things one at a time, fix it then move onto the next...This won't be easy as everything is kinda NEEDING to be DONE right now...It's extremely frustrating

If you look at each one of these problems individually, on their own, they don't really seem like such a big deal, just things that normally happen from time to time and we deal with it...BUT, ALL of these things being dumped on your head ALL AT ONCE...THAT becomes a pretty big deal

As you've said, being there with her makes it better...That's actually very true...Scorpios draw strength (and energy) from other people, and just knowing that someone gives a shit certainly helps, too...So, be there for her, don't lose patience with her (remember, as bad as we may get during this time, we can't really help it, we have a LOT to deal with, while we are at one of our weakest points, and we are NOT used to feeling overwhelmed or out of control of our situations)...And you're absolutely correct, you WILL get through this...soon

Thank you, Sweetheart...I do so love the Cancers :)...I seriously hope one of these never hits you guys (I sincerely wouldn't want to see Dustin have to deal with shit like this), but I honestly I don't think it would...It really doesn't work that way..It kinda effects you in a way that would relate to your sign and personality, but it's NEVER more than we can handle...It just often feels that way at the time...

I'm afraid that the next time Cancer's 'event' comes around, it will probably cause a serious depression, but it could also bring about change, too, which could seem bad, but turn out good...Jeez, I need to stop now because there's no WAY that I can explain this in a way that it would make sense...lol...At least not in text, in a limited amount of words...But, if it ever happens, I'll certainly warn you :)

For sure.

These are tumultous times for her (her name is Dani btw, short for Danielle)...actually, for us. And togetherness is the one strength which will pull us through...like it has in the past.

Thanks for the kind words, BR. I appreciate it a lot.:)

:p

Here is a big hug and a lot of support for you friend and your Scopio mates.

I am having my own problems now to. Though I am not a Scorpio.

I am a Pisces. And Pisces are compatible with Scorpios. We are also very compassionate persons. So as you see I can have compassion with your problems.

For this forum I am Maria Zaleska. That is my pseudoname for the forum and the picture is actually me disguised in a Halloween costume as a "granny".

Well good luck to you with your problems. I'm sure that you will survive! I have had my share and always have. It's just the knot in the stomach that stays for a while.

[Elvis_Christ]

Whats a Scorpio?

[Marya Zaleska]

Whats a Scorpio?

It's one of the signs of the zodiac used in astrology.

[Rayne]

WHEW!!!

I just wanted to let you guys know that this 'event' should be drawing to a close soon (it should already be over for most Scorpios)...As was mentioned, "October-November" would be the climax and then the settling back down

As it turned out this was bigger than I even imagined...Cancer, being the most closely linked to Scorpio, also ended up getting caught in this thing...I feel very bad for them, it's much more difficult for them to deal with these things

AND...It seems just about everyone else got hit with the 'wake' of it, which would have hit about a month or two after Scorpio's initial event, and incidentally during the time of Scorpio's sign (October-November) ...For those of you who are not Scorpio, these things should start to level out at about the same time (pretty soon), or a month or two from now (depending on how long after Scorpio's hit, you got yours)...For some of you who got hit REALLY hard, it may not resolve completely until the time of your sign, when your strength, energy and 'power' are at their pinnacle

I'm calling it a 'wake' because it's kinda like this: As the giant Scorpio ship passes through (in October-November), imagine the huge wake that is created by the ship's passing, and everyone floundering in the waves...And as the Scorpio ship passes out of sight (and the troubles finally die down), the wake will slowly level out, too...Some people are better 'swimmers' than others, so it'll take a little longer before the 'less skilled swimmers' are completely out of the water

I warned you that this one was "cataclysmic"

I just wish I could have prepared everyone better :(

I miss you guys...I know that you don't mind taking a back seat to the baby...Babies are just so very needy

I truly hope that everyone is dealing with this okay

May your troubles be over soon (and I mean that sincerely)...You guys mean quite a bit to me


Although, I have NO freakin' idea WHY :p :)

[_____V_____]

umm...





Welcome back. (have a surprise for you if you check the Suggestions Welcome thread)


:D

[Rayne]

umm...





Welcome back. (have a surprise for you if you check the Suggestions Welcome thread)


:DYAY...I love Surprises!

And yeah, I need to check out the rest of the threads, I am SO far behind...I just wanted to get to this first because I was kinda worried about you guys...I saw what was happening to everyone around me, and I wondered how you guys were faring

Things should be starting to get better for YOUR Scorpio, too :)

[Doc Faustus]

As it turned out this was bigger than I even imagined...Cancer, being the most closely linked to Scorpio, also ended up getting caught in this thingA
Yup, sure did. It seems to be letting up, though. I hope. Maybe.

[Rayne]

Yup, sure did. It seems to be letting up, though. I hope. Maybe.
Aww, I hope that it wasn't TOO bad (although, I know it most likely was :()...I'm really glad that it's resolving though..If there are any 'leftover' complications, it should be okay by June for you...But, I don't really think it'll take that long (and I DEFINITELY hope not)...Being the closest to Scorpio, you really should 'finish up' at about the same time

I was especially worried about the Cancers here (so of course, YOU entered my mind)


May this not come around again for a thousand years...Ugh

[missmacabre]

So how do you know all this horoscope stuff? Cause I find it pretty interesting. Do you have an internet resources?

[Rayne]

So how do you know all this horoscope stuff? Cause I find it pretty interesting. Do you have an internet resources?Weellllll...The truth is, I'm pretty old...haha

Seriously, there isn't much on the internet that's very accurate and a lot of it conflicts...There ARE two books though that are pretty informative, and also quite accurate (unfortunately, you aren't going to get much accuracy about Geminis from ANYWHERE, they're all so different...Only the 'duality' holds true)

The books are The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need, by Joanna Woolfolk...And it holds pretty true to it's name...It teaches you how to plot charts, AND how to recognize changes in planetary movement, and moon phases as well as what those changes can mean for each sign

It also tells you the ORIGINS of each sign, which is very interesting...It's an incredible book, I'd be lost without it (and when I tell people their moon signs, I get them from the chart in this book...It really does have EVERYTHING)

As for the second book, it's mostly for fun, but it's also very accurate...It's called Born On A Rotten Day...It tells you all the REAL stuff about each sign, without sugar-coating everything...Like instead of saying "Cancer is easy-going and laid back...They do things slowly and meticulously" like many things you read might say...This book would say, "Cancers are LAZY and you gotta kick 'em in the ass to get 'em moving"...haha

I mean, it doesn't say those exact words, but that's a really good representation of how this book compares to other sources...And it's pretty funny, too :)

As for the rest...Time and experience (I've got about 25 years in on this stuff)
