Tiny Rant

Duality - it's always a struggle. It's been said that you can only serve on master; you can only walk one path, be it good or evil. Duality seems to be in my nature. There is always a fine line between rebelling and doing things my way, or putting myself aside and putting others before me. Running my own course of life, or stopping and allowing myself to be taught and guided by good example. Sometimes I care, sometimes I dont care. I like people, I dont like people. Yet, I believe the urge to want to walk in righteousness wins over all. To love is to truly be selfless. To gain peace is not to war against others, but to fight and gain control of self. The inner animal wants to break wild, but this cannot always be allowed.

Scorpion, Aquarian, Capricorn and Virgo placements all in one person reaps havoc on emotions, feelings, and sometimes the mind. It's like an internal amusing battle. I wake up, asking which one is going to take over today. Aqua leads the attitude, Capricorn the feelings, Scorpio the heart and Virgo the mind and they all make one strange little person. I say this proudly. At times, I dont mind being a service to others. But there are times I pull away and I serve myself. Loyalty never wanes. I like to do my own things without any input from anyone else. I am me, and I shouldnt have to be subjected to give explanations. People with their never ending questions of why scorpio this and why scorpio that... I feel like if they stopped looking at scorpio through their own perceived expectations and put the astrology books down, this would enable them to gain the understanding that we have our own paths to tread and are only human. We fail, we falter, we fuck up, like everyone else in the zodiac. Back up and give us a chance to correct ourselves without bombardment of finger pointing and shaming. Stop questioning and make a choice to accept the unknown or leave it alone.

Curiosity is human nature. But understand - not every question has a direct answer. Not every 'why' will be answered quickly. Sometimes it takes time for answers to reveal themselves, especially when dealing with a person's character. You can live 100 years and still not know a person completely. Sometimes, us Scorpions don't understand why we do what we do. A lot of us react to how we are feeling. Feelings are hard to convert verbally.

Some forget that just because the sun is scorpio does not mean that the person is guided by scorpio. Other placements strongly influence thought, feelings, and reacts. No scorpion shares the same placements or planets as another, so to put us all in the same boat is very ignorant on people's parts. Not all of us are riddled with sex, vengeance, or are evil. Anyone can fit that description. That goes back to dual nature. People are good, people are bad. In the end, it doesn't come down to signs, but how a person chooses to live and interact with others. When we wake up, we all have a choice - which one will take over today? Better yet, which one will we allow to take over today?

Rabbit, I've seen longer rants. It was tiny to me. I'll take my +1 back.

when i say put the books down, i mean that no book can able you to really see into a person's character. there are just some things that books cant take the place of. like experience and seeing for yourself. self improvement is one thing, but really getting to know a person's natural highs and lows is another story. life doesn't follow books. and no book can truly predict how a person will react or feel. astrology books can only estimate at best.

Guidelines and patterns... Perhaps..?
