Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology - Week of January 30, 2003

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

It's not easy to become yourself. Most people never figure out the trick. That's usually because they have an unreliable connection with the one source that offers unfailing guidance: the still, small voice within. They're distracted by the din of mildly interesting but useless information that our culture produces in abundance. You, on the other hand, are always pretty hot on the trail of finding out who you really are. That's one of the perks of being born a Scorpio. And in the coming weeks, you'll be able to tune in to your personal homing beacon better than ever. Prepare to receive instructions on how to become yourself twice as fast.

So much for Feng Shui...

We go see one of the Lord of the Rings movies; in this case, the first one. We marvel at the imagery as it is brought to life on the screen, such as the cozy snugness of the hobbit holes, the fantastic, graceful beauty of the elven dwellings, set among a rich, verdant, unmolested landscape.

We could be using our building resources to create homes such as those, you know. We could be preserving as much of our land as we possibly could. And re-claiming that which was polluted and lost.

What does it say about us, that we don't? (Or, in the cases of the positive action taken to preserve/reclaim land, that we don't do more?)

What does it say about us that so many of us live in stacked, relatively spartan cubes?

What are we telling ourselves?

What does that do to us?
