For all you ASAHers with planets and ascendants in Scorpio [View all]
It is important to realize that Scorpio is the scapegoat in almost every negative situation...whether it's a karmic payback or (most likely) people sensing the power inherent in the sign and then blaming the Scorpio for not doing something about whatever the situation is....
It has taken me many years to come to terms with this fact and just let it be that way...Rick is right that they key to living with this scorpio energy is forgiveness (and forgetness)....whole chunks of my life are just falling away and i can be more in the now, now...
And everything that has been taken from me has been restored to me even better, because God and the universe always work for the highest good of all concerned...
Before you say that i don't know what i'm talking about, i have Sun at 0'scorpio, and Moon at 29' scorpio (coming and going lol)
i have had major issues with my mother like you guys, and finally i just totally gave up trying to get through to her or to change her and just accept her the way it is....and try to appreciate her good qualities and also try to not perpetuate her negativity myself...i catch myself sometimes and it's not pretty lol...
It makes for a somewhat shallow relationship of course and sometimes i find myself longing for a real friendship with her like i see some mothers and daughters having...but she is a product of her societal conditioning and the traumas she and her generation went through and is trapped there....i used to get so very angry with her, but now i feel mostly sorrow and realized that soon i will be burying her and never have a chance to resolve all this on this plane....
Just my .02 and good luck to all fellow Scorpions
