As you may have noticed, I retraced my life in 2012 in the previous post, "So The World Didn't End". It is necessary that you read that post prior to reading this one. They are connected, this is a sequel if you will.
When I was looking back at my blog posts for last year I came across the first one I wrote for the year, "Dear January". I had forgotten about this post and the yearly horoscope I referenced. I decided to read the ones for this year and they, once again, appear to be pretty accurate, at least for the things I need to happen this year. I'll get to that later.
Again, I'm not one for New Year's Resolutions, but considering my last post and the angle I'm going at, I'm going to lay out things that just need to be done. A list is always better for me to have rather than none at all.
- Work on anger, or eliminate if possible:
- Get into physical activity such as riding bikes, running, and kickboxing!
- Get to the source of the anger, work, for instance.
- Do more things that make you happy.
- Engage in creative outlets:
- See more films.
- Read more books.
- Paint.
- Write.
- Brush up on old studies:
- Study osteology materials.
- Study archaeology materials.
- Study anthropology materials.
- Study and learn more astrology.
- Study astronomy materials.
- Study more science!
- Study American Sign Language materials.
- Acquire more skills:
- Anything from sewing, oil painting, star finding, braille, jewelry making, other dreadlock methods, writing fiction and non-fiction, learn to read German [because I know I won't be able to speak it!] etc.
- Stay on the look out for better jobs!
- Make connections!
- Improve prior habits:
- Sleeping better.
- Eating better.
- Spending and saving better.
- Drinking alcohol less.
- Smoking hookah less...maybe, ha!
This list can be added on at any time but I think this is a great start and a great layout!
Anyways, here is my 2013 horoscope from Astrology.com:
Overview
2013 has your name written all over it, Scorpio. Thirteen is the number of the Death archetype in the tarot card attributed to your sign. It's about the death of the outworn aspects of yourself and your life, while the sunrise of rebirth is always waiting on the horizon. Transformation, metamorphosis, passion and sexuality are all heavily pronounced this year for you. Saturn, the great taskmaster, has taken up long-term residency in your stars until 2015 to give you and your life a complete makeover. Add to this the fact that your ruler, Pluto, is in what is known as a 'mutual reception' with Saturn (mutual influence by means of swapping signs) and the force for rebuilding your life from its very foundation is doubled. This is a year for uncovering your greatest resourcefulness, and relinquishing any skeletons from your psychic closet. Death and rebirth become daily themes as you shed layers upon layers of the former you.
The speed at which your life is moving, evolving and changing is unprecedented, Scorpio. The total whirlwind that began in the latter half of 2012 continues as the eclipse points impact your sign directly. Watch for key events in May and November as signposts for more change to come. There's a good chance you'll change jobs, move, start or end a relationship or simply start an entirely new chapter of your life under this intense influence. Trust that whatever you're putting your passionate energy into this year will indeed build out to something lasting and beautiful.
This could easily be one of the most exhilarating and spiritual years in a long time, Scorpio. Jupiter supports your quest for deep change and self-awareness by working on the Eighth House (Scorpio sector) of your horoscope until June. Delve into your own secret depths and discover how powerful you really are. Few are as tough and resilient as you are. It's actually your sensitivity and vulnerability that make you strong. At the end of the day, you may be the most emotionally courageous sign there is. You heal others by showing them that it's safe to confront their own darkness as you have done. This is the greatest gift and strength you'll be sharing with many in 2013.
Romantic
The commitment theme extends into all life arenas this year, but especially love. Saturn demands that you stick with the relationship you've started if you ever want to learn deep and meaningful lessons about intimacy, Scorpio. If you jump from partner to partner, you'll remain stuck in shallow water. If you avoid love altogether for fear of being hurt, you'll simply end up lonely and bitter. Why not put your heart on the line and try being vulnerable for a change? Yes it might feel like it will kill you to trust someone again, but think of the rewards when deep passion and connection are possible if you're willing to take the risk.
Neptune continues to bring the longing for a soulful merger with a romantic partner again this year. Neptune is taking residence in your love zone for the long haul, so the themes of illusion, disillusion and the desire for a divine romance continue. You want a love that inspires poetry, art, music and cinema. You want a love worthy of the gods, Scorpio. Nothing less will do. You may have to lower your expectations if you want to survive in a real relationship inevitably filled with human limitations lest you suffer grave disappointment again and again. This doesn't mean you have to give up on the idea of a beautiful romantic relationship. Just know that it will have its off days and there will be moments of drudgery and discord, if you want something long-term. There is no escaping the difficult and ugly parts of romance.
Having the combination of Saturn and Neptune influencing your stars actually provides a healthy balance between reality and fantasy, so you may just find your way to that ever-elusive middle ground in love this year. Plus, the eclipse points will be moving your relationship along so fast that you'll have to learn your lessons quickly. You may be surprised how fast your partnership goes from zero to one hundred seemingly overnight. You may move in together, get married or just simply deepen your commitment level to one another.
Career
If there's been any wavering in your attitude toward your career goals, you can kiss that wishy-washy nonsense goodbye. You're ready to get super serious no matter how much discipline, hard work and perseverance is required. Having Saturn, the king of commitment, in your sign is forcing you to finally just go for it. All-talk-and-no-action was so 2012. This is the year for strategy, planning and follow through. You have all the talent required to hit it big; now you just need the structure to support your large-scale ventures. Saturn in Scorpio will provide the necessary framework to get it all done.
The eclipse points are hitting you so hard this year that your life is in constant fast-forward motion -- career included. You easily have so much going on that you struggle to keep track of it all. If you have not already considered getting an assistant or delegating some of the thousands of tasks and projects you've got sitting on the back-burner, this is the year to let some of the control go and ask for help. It's only holding you back when you insist on doing everything yourself, especially when the planets are pushing you so hard to create even more. You need time. Time is money, Scorpio, so find ways to free some up in 2013 so that you may pursue the passionate aspects of your work rather than getting bogged down by the grunt work.
Jupiter will continue to back your resourceful nature. Others (with money) want to help you, so don't be afraid to reach out. You're a worthy investment and you'll be able to pay them back tenfold with time. This is a year for building and capitalizing on your assets. Your potential is off the charts, and this year you're determined to realize it fully. You will not be satisfied with any half-baked measures in your career. When Jupiter moves into your travel zone during the second half of the year, expect to be moving from coast-to-coast or continent-to-continent frequently in order to expand your contacts and professional potential. You're definitely moving and shaking this year, Scorpio. There's no doubt about it!
Ok! So that's all looking pretty fantastic! But let's backtrack a little.
For 2012, my horoscope mentioned things that were very true for my career. And indeed I was pushed into new grounds with all the jobs I acquired last year, not to mention that I was and am very used to working multiple jobs. Just the tone I used when I say how many jobs I have is interesting and shows that it's the new normal for me. Gotta make the money, honey! The romance aspect, was true about not putting up with shit anymore. As you saw in my yearly overview that I was not happy with my last boyfriend, and I ended things. Since then I have not been looking for anyone, however I am trying to get into the gay scene. I am trying really hard to think about my expectations and trying not to let that shit happen anymore. We'll see.
Last year was filled with a lot of emotions, kind of all over the place, stress at home, stress with the car, stress with money, stress with work, and all the in between feelings. Concerns about getting stuck and wondering where to go, with my career and my living situation at least, a transformation that the 2013 horoscope speaks of is definitely needed. I need a life makeover. Everything on the inside. I want to shed my negativity, my stress, my anger and rejuvenate myself. The glorious thing about this horoscope is, whether it is true or not, it simply puts in writing the very thing I do want. With that I am conscious of my hopes and desires and will strive towards them. Astrology gives me perspective, that's what it is.
It mentions the key months of May and November with possibilities of changing jobs, moving, starting or ending a relationship, or starting a whole other thing in life. This is something I'm really hoping on. May is the mark of the end of the school year and the beginning of summer. If that means I move then [which is my goal], or decide to find a different job [which can be another goal even], or start a relationship, cool! Moving is my ultimate goal of the year. Seeing how that did not happen last year, it showed that while I was intent, I was very fearful of not being ready. So I stopped expecting to move before my 25th birthday and started to save money better than I ever have so that I can still make it happen while I'm 25. I really hope it does. I would like a new job, plain and simple, but we will see what happens.
Everything the romance section covers is very very interesting. It points out a lot of things I have been mulling over. I am very closed off currently, I can hardly find myself interested in a relationship. I feel unhappy in some other aspects of my life that I don't feel comfortable entering a relationship. However, loneliness is a factor of that unhappiness. But loneliness and I have a unique relationship, I like it to an extent, but it can lead me to making decisions that would result in more loneliness. I'm still not sure if I really am ready for a relationship. Most of me thinks that whatever happens next will not be long term. Then a little part of me does want a long term relationship. I just don't really know. What I do know, though, is that I'm fucking tired of disappointments.
I'm glad I decided to do all this writing because I can look back at it a year from now and see all that has happened in my life.
All in all, 2013, I welcome you!
