It is appealing to have a single clear goal. But why would you do that? The fact is, a big world is out there waiting for you to play with it, waiting for you to come and try out new things. That first step is the most challenging one, but once you’ve taken it, the world will embrace you with plenty of unexpected opportunities.
Little is more rewarding than changing another’s life, but discreetly
Every so often, you face a situation in which you realize you’ve completely lost your perspective and can’t figure out what to do with certain tricky individuals. Then you realize the issue is your desire for control. True, as a Scorpio you were born under the sign that is perhaps the most analytical. Also, being ruled by the planet Pluto, which wants to get all the facts, you feel that if you can just learn enough, you will have control.
However, the irony is that the more you delve into life, the more you realize that no matter how many facts you gather, circumstances themselves will reshape the situations you’re dealing with. But not only that, it will reshape your priorities as well. This doesn’t just have to do with those rather tricky situations; it has to do with life itself and with those you care about, with close relationships, with your passions—your personal passions and passions involving others.
Once you recognize that, in many cases, you have very little control, you can set a goal or objective. But then you need to yield to it.
You will also find a new joy in being alive. With every breath, instead of worrying about things going your way, you will simply enjoy the fact that you’re breathing—because you’re living out yet another day, a day that is full of promise.
Occasionally, you struggle with a situation simply because you want the other individual to do what you want. The problem is that you haven’t discussed it openly with them. While those born under the sign of Scorpio are brilliant at manipulating others, and can convince those around them to do what they want, often it is far easier if you simply ask.
Many Scorpios have a physical health routine and a diet that they follow closely, often for years. However, you are always changing and evolving, and even though you believe you are being true to yourself—that is, to the values you keep—every cell is being replaced over time. So, too, must that perfect formula.
It is appealing to have a single clear goal. But why would you do that? The fact is, a big world is out there waiting for you to play with it, waiting for you to come and try out new things. That first step is the most challenging one, but once you’ve taken it, the world will embrace you with plenty of unexpected opportunities.
Few things are more disheartening than having resolved tricky issues only to have something similar spring up from nowhere. However, you’re in a period that is about dealing with these measures one by one. Tedious as that seems, each that you tackle will add insights that make the next easier.
