Yes, my friends, I know the Full Moon in Taurus is tomorrow but *this* post is in honor of Scorpio and Scorpio Season, a New York story. I know how y’all love those… π

Part One: How To Survive Saturn in Scorpio
What you must do is be fearless. Stop worrying each day what you will lose.
I was thinking this as I was heading to go cat sit this morning, waiting for the 1 train and imagining the worst. Not being able to get to this frail senior kitty tomorrow because of Hurricane Sandy. Fearing the worst.
But when you make an adjustment in your perspective, and you begin to live your life with less fear…
That is how you find out who you are.
Part Two: Tree of Life
I am obsessed with the Tree of Life from Kabbalah, obsessed with the Sefiros, obsessed with God’s mind, God’s mercy, God’s reason, obsessed with my inability to understand the Tree of Life and I was heading to the train and I saw an old friend across the street, dropping off one of her daughters at school and this woman has been on my mind because she’s a great teacher, an intelligent mind, and I had been thinking of asking her to teach me.
So we started to walk and talk down the street and I remembered this, I remembered to ask her and she laughed. I had said: I want you to teach me the Tree of Life. I have a hard time understanding it. Her eyes widened. Her laugh was sweet. Β It’s not graspable, she said. People spend their ENTIRE lives learning this.
Part Three: My Greek Chariot
I know the cabbie was from Greece because I asked him where he was from. Came here at 3 months. Grew up in Astoria. I was in the cab on my way to give my friend’s keys to her Mom who would be taking over cat sitting duties, thank God. And I talk to my cab driver. That’s what New Yorkers do.
He told me since he was 16 he’d been driving a cab, and without a license then. An Aquarius. And we had some time to talk, going from the West Side to the East Side and he showed me a picture of his three daughters on his Blackberry, and he said to me: I taught them two things. You wanna know what I taught them? 1. Be carefree in life and 2. Don’t be afraid of anything or anyone
He was saying out loud what I had been thinking just hours earlier.

If you are wondering what this has to do with Scorpio, I’ll tell you. Scorpio knows how to keep a secret or two and I am keeping secrets in this blog post. There’s more to tell. But Scorpio is loyal. And I want the New Moon Eclipse in Scorpio to bring us to a new level of loyalty TO OUR LIVES. Our fearless lives. Can you imagine? Are you paying attention? To the signs?
Stay safe everyone!

LOL!
I LOVED those answers!
She told you THE PERFECT answer- on The Tree Of Life- THAT’S why it’s called The Tree Of Life- you spend your entire life ON IT!
It’s a kaleidoscope, because everybody has their own take on it, but it’s definitely ALL YOUR LIFE.
Great answer!
And the cabbie! How awesome!
I loved gabbing with cabbies, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco- I’ve had lots of good chatter sessions- lots of good bits of wisdom from those folks. They’re a great lot.

OK EVERYBODY STAY SAFE- prayers to everyone- happy warm safe healthy wealthy wise- LOVE!

π thanks hunny π
It feels like this post was meant for me! I second Sophie’s comment…I too am so grateful for our community!
xoxoxo
just today i was cruising pinterest and i saw a quote that said “worrying is like praying for what you don’t want.”
i’ve been trying to tone it down in my mind. and i’ve been facing some demons that have to do with self-confidence, among others. but they’re keeping me stuck, so i must push through.
glad you’re staying safe and sound. great post. π
My grandparents grew up in Astoria! That’s so cool!

Scorpio Sun ~ Taurus ascendant/moon hereβ¦need I say more lol I would appreciate any comments U may have for me at this moment in time “sigh”
Sometimes the signs are really big and loud, like giant billboards and we still choose to ignore them or doubt them. Why is that? Because of the fear. The endless fear. Let’s fight the fear together by joining and sharing our worries and concerns. And yes, this is a plug for our little community on the forum, which I am very thankful for! π
You’re the best, sophiepiscesmoon π
Thank you for this blog post.. It related to me so much! I am currently reading in bath and about to burst into tears as worried about family and where my life is heading and this post made me stop and think! Love the cabbies words of wisdom, very true and I need to be more like that! Also.. I was helping my mum cat sit my sisters cat this weekend and we also.found it stressful as sudden roadworks appeared which meant traffic galore and us being stressed about it! I feel I was a bit mean this weekend or harsh to mum as I just want her to be happy and knowing I can’t help makes me sad so I just get angry instead! I know she also feels the same a out me.. I just have to be more care free like the cabbie said!! Thanks again x
Thank you, claire
