Yes, I often do write in my journal. If I didn't, I think I'd scare everyone off with frequent philosophical, existential rants. There is so much information stored within us I feel it's necessary to write things down- we can look back on them and remember our previous thoughts, our rambling riddles we once found to be of importance. It is a timeline, a document of ones pondering. A contrast of future and past realities.
So yes, I do. I like to tape flowers inside my journal also and look back on them some year later when they're dried and frozen there- a reminder from my past self to my present self that one day, my present circumstances will also be a memory.

I like it. It's hard for people who've not experience the utter despair in not belonging to really fathom the idea of belief and how powerful it is and how enabling it can be. And she's right on many accounts so why do we all hide it? Strange world.
Hahahahaha...if ya don't crash!!
Of all the people I have met I have found that Aquarians understand us Geminis the most. Plus I love the witty banter that goes on between Aquarius' and Geminis.

I think was Mr. Defense is trying to say, is that in my case..I'm about as german as a german shepherd and about as danish as a pastry. I supposedly have some cree in me somewhere but to keep it real, I can't pass a blood ratio test to join a tribe and neither can 99% of folks who claim N.A. If you can't pass the test and even the actual tribe won' claim you, why are YOU claiming?
In short, I think Mr.D is saying an African-American is about as African as 6th generation 'italian' white guy living in the states. I think the issue is convoluted because most black americans (african-american, w/e) can't claim a specific country/tribe so the demographics get convoluted.
Yeh, I find this viewpoint fascinating.
My family as I said earlier in the thread, are predominantly Aboriginal- genetically estimate 85-90% possibly more, pure...
and of course, bonus, NOT imported lol I am living in my land of origin unless we go back anywhere from 40,000 to 60,000 years ago!
However, my mother always insisted we were not Aboriginal.
She always said to be a true Aborigine you had to live as an Aborigine, that we would have to be culturally ensconced in the life style , traditionally, dietary, spiritually, language etc
And all of these facets have been eradicated in a small space of time, before my time yes, but effectively removing any identifying factors with which I could identify with and thereby be able to say- Yes I am Aboriginal!
So I see his point.
At this point in time I am Australian. That is my identity. All of it.
=)
Wag.
I love Scorpio women! I have many Scorpio female friends. I'm not worried about them stabbing me in the back but if they did I'd cut them off cold. Just because I love them doesn't mean I'm stupid about it! I realize Scorps can be vengeful and even a little jealous if you have other female friends besides them. I nip that shit in the bud really quickly and we have a little chat. It always works out. I'm a Gem (Taurini if you believe in cusps). I have quite a bit of earth and water in my chart; maybe that's why Scorp females and I get along so well.

So how do you deal with death? ^
Gee that's a huge question.
Let me think about it for a bit. But for some reason I can't help but think physical death is the ultimate surrender and the biggest and wisest lesson any good Scorp can learn is "surrender." Its hard for us.
I will say, that my death experiences have been quite enlightening as to how one grieves. I have grieved a different way with each death which, honestly, I wasn't expecting. So that was good to learn. Also, it has made me, personally, far more open-minded. Because whether we like it or not EVERYTHING ends so trying to have control over everything is kind of silly now isn't it? Just some thoughts.
Ooohhhh Mr F is going to like the turn this thread has taken--and NO WAY am I watching a video about animal testing. Poor kitties and other cute animals.
No offense intended with the animals. I was merely emphasizing the cruel and unusual punishment of constantly being thought of as a "baby maker and sex toy" with plenty of threads that go along that theme.
We have value in other areas of life, too!
For me... there's a lot of neat stuff to talk about... but hard to communicate other those other areas when the rest of those signs thinks your sign is the smut capitol of the Zodiac.
E, did you know that walls talk???
The individual/personal reports and similar/related will be fun to read.
As to the question, I guess it depends who's holed up in them lololololclick to expand
Could be Jimmy Hoffa.
I don't think it's as happy or easy, I mean she makes a great speaker and speaking honestly as someone who didn't have that perspective. I think every time the topic would arise on DXP I always say something like "You can't really see or appreciate what is beautiful in life until you've hit rock bottom in pitch black darkness".
That part is what I relate to being vulnerable. Knowing no one can really pick you back up it's either you sink or you swim and for me this was particularly bad because to sink was to die pure and simple and the only way upwards is to pull myself back up. And she's right I don't really call it strength nor was it a bad experience because it really is honestly just reality for me. Move on and start appreciating the good stuff, it doesn't make you instantly happy forever but it does give you a better understanding in dealing with it and ACCEPTING sometimes life is just out of our own control momentarily.

I think capricorns learn to move through the material world to success by their early trials from saturn but some capricorns can be destroyed by these tests. Other Capricorns will make it through to success but then act in an evil manner because they've been scared and can't move past it. Thats why many capricorns are seen to be under the sign of the devil to certain other signs and in general villains without emotions. In the Article we see the highest expression of capricorn which is a person who goes through the material world transcends it and ends his journey in the spiritual realm of life. He has gone Through the fire like going to hades and back in the myth and is still unscathed without bitterness or vengeance.

Oi ;p
Hm, I've noticed that I have a strange dynamic with Cancer men but not so much Cancer women. I suppose your experiences have been with Scorpio females who have not yet learned to channel their negative energy into positive. Once we've been through the mill, we come out being quite gentle folk. Personally, I generally get fed up with the attitude of some of the more immature Cancer men I know- and can't refrain from some good ol' fashion sarcastic remarks if I'm around them for too long.
However, my relationships with Cancer females have been significantly more successful. My boyfriends mother is a Cancer, and we relate so well on a level of emotional understanding that conversation flows easily- we've helped each other through a lot and she's said she loves me as she would her own daughter. My grandmother is also a Cancer, we have great discussion about social and political issues. I know one Cancer male whom I get along with also- it all depends on how easy-going to Scorp is in my opinion.
