Planning ahead is a virtue. But being able to accept what comes your way is a joy, and choosing unpredictability is a superb and rare approach to life. But once you’ve done that, once you’ve stopped telling others what you’re planning and stopped planning yourself, then whatever arises will be a delightful surprise.
True love exists in many ways; at its most powerful, it is unspoken
For you as a Scorpio, living with unanswered questions can be difficult, especially because as somebody ruled by Pluto, the planet of truth, you want answers—and reliable facts. However, with the foundation that situations are based on is shifting, and the push and pull of life for many individuals, the kinds of guarantees you want are unlikely.
Yet there is a different kind of truth—and that truth is one you are learning about. It is a truth that steps outside of the plans you have in mind and, in fact, outside of what is normally termed as a battle to get things done. Instead, it forces you simply to look at life from a different angle and to consider what will work in this moment, and the next moment, and then the one after that.
This approach is very different, because it doesn’t involve planning. In fact, it’s rather like living out each day, unable to guess what the weather will be tomorrow or next week or in a couple of months—but to be in the present. That is a philosophical approach to life, but in your particular case, once you even begin to think about it, much less try to master it, you will discover that the more easygoing you are about decision-making, the easier it will be to be drawn to the right activity in this hour,on this day, tomorrow—and over the coming months and even years.
If you’re living in this unusual world—in which you’re not so much trying to make decisions as to do what seems right in the moment—then you’re also redefining what achievement means. If you are no longer worrying about succeeding, then a challenge becomes an exciting exercise, one from which you will benefit in wonderful ways—not least for the sheer joy of what you learned.
Everybody seeks a routine that will make them feel young and healthy. But what will make you feel best during times of transition are those that are adaptable: they accommodate the air and the energy moving through you. The more flexible you are in what you do and the way you take care of yourself, the more fun you will have.
Planning ahead is a virtue. But being able to accept what comes your way is a joy, and choosing unpredictability is a superb and rare approach to life. But once you’ve done that, once you’ve stopped telling others what you’re planning and stopped planning yourself, then whatever arises will be a delightful surprise.
After battling seemingly insurmountable objects, you’ve discovered the issue wasn’t the situation, but a fundamental misunderstanding of what you were dealing with. Going back to the beginning scenes is aggravating, but what you learn will explain what went wrong, and eliminate that confusion.
