Thinking about how to overcome obstacles is important for you, but if you spend too much time thinking about it, you may never do it. Simply plunge into something new in a way that could be considered to be “un-Scorpio.” Then not only will those obstacles vanish, you’ll find yourself involved in something as exciting as it is thrilling.
Sometimes silence is a greater kindness than saying what I think
These days, everybody is encouraged to plan ahead. And in fact, it’s a good idea, especially for impulsive types—maybe the fire signs Aries and Leo and Sagittarius. But for somebody who thinks things through, and who also will consider a plan carefully, make it, and then stick with it, being told that you need to plan ahead is unnecessary. If anything, what you need is the strength and the courage to change plans when things aren’t working. And that can be very challenging indeed. In fact, you can spend so much time debating changes that the opportunity to make those changes vanishes.
And this is where it is important that you do something that is difficult for you, which is put yourself first. One of your excuses for not changing plans is that it will be unsettling for those around you.
However, changes of the type you will often make are a great gift for you and others, simply because, instead of being impulsive, you will have thought everything through so carefully that you and others will benefit from that journey.
In fact, if you recognize that, when the idea of making those changes arises, you’re not only encouraged to explore it, you are encouraged to say yes first, then to think of the details later.
When it comes to making changes, those around you are well aware that you will think them through. They will often wait for you to make decisions so they can benefit from your wisdom. You may not realize how important this is. Your capacity to analyze things and to be visionary at the same time is an extraordinary gift.
You have a capacity to be too disciplined. If so, life can become a bit joyless, because taking care of yourself becomes a strict regimen. This becomes a pain to others who would love to do something spontaneous, but because you’re following your regimen, you can’t. The trick? Take a break from time to time. You can go back to it if you decide to.
Thinking about how to overcome obstacles is important for you, but if you spend too much time thinking about it, you may never do it. Simply plunge into something new in a way that could be considered to be “un-Scorpio.” Then not only will those obstacles vanish, you’ll find yourself involved in something as exciting as it is thrilling.
You hold yourself to high standards and are a tough judge when you do things wrong. However, you long ago learned that not everybody feels the same. In fact, certain individuals will happily blame others for their mistakes. Be wary, or you’ll find yourself shouldering the responsibility for others’ errors.
