A couple of people have asked me who this Jedi Master I write about is. Well, let me tell ya! See what happened was…
Geminis were like falling from the sky and I was all non-plussed and I said to myself…
What is it with all these Geminis cropping up? Good grief! I’ve lived all these years without being more than passing acquaintances with anyone born between May 21st and June 21st. I’ve been reasonably content, fairly prosperous, and healthy enough without the influence of the universe’s version of the split personality infiltrating my space, and now… well, now they are firmly and completely entrenched in all areas of my little ole life. They are scurrying around EVERYWHERE… like bipolar roaches… and Lawd, don’t I just love it.
Not all that long ago I noticed the trend and did a Internet search designed to help me figure out if these fascinating creatures were going to be the end of me. I didn’t mind finding one or two of them in the opened albeit rarely used cereal box in my pantry, but I kept finding them creeping around in the cavernous regions of my heart… and that was bad. Very bad I tell you. So I did my little investigative work. The resulting analysis indicated that Scorpio/ Gemini interactions were DOOMED. That’s right… doomed! Well, maybe not doomed, but difficult.
The prevailing wisdom says that Gemini is a social, communicatin’ jack-of-all-trades, a whiz-kid, a trickster, a messenger, and a flitter (my word and it means jumps from subject to subject and I suspect from partner to partner to partner to… well, you get it.). Now Scorpio is an extremely loyal friend and does not care for flittin’ or flitters. Scorpio is a detective, a therapist, a hypnotist, a transformer. Oh, and did I mention Stinger has forgiveness issues and is secretive to boot!
Not sounding like friendship material is it? But all's not lost in these alliances. See, though difficult, they can be very strong… the powers that be, i.e. the Internet astrology experts swear that adjustment is key. They say both these guys need to give more than they get. I been doing that for a while now and the thought of givin’ doesn’t scare me, so I’m down with the giving part of this. The experts say that all that is required is a little extra sensitivity. Heck… I’m sensitive - sensitive enough to have addressed my forgiveness issues and secretive nature long ago. Sensitive enough to keep the controlling aspect of my personality in check... well, pretty much in check.
In the end, the experts say Gemini is ‘spose to keep the lines of communication open and Scorp is ‘spose to learn to let go! Whateva! Read my d@mn blog… three-fourths of it is about learning this very thing… learning it from a Gemini… go figure!
Oooops, I’m off track… like I was saying…
My world was under Gemini attack.
So why was I so attracted, and why were there suddenly so many of them? Thanks for asking... I'ma tell ya.
I was attracted because these nuts are funny, chatty, deep little somebodies. Inconsistent and flighty as ‘ell, but as long as you don’t ask too much of them they seem to be great little entertainers. Course they’ll flip on ya in a minute, but when they are on… they are on. Now, that’s the story on the average “Ta ‘ell wid it I’ma just throw myself into being a Gemini” Geminis, but low-and-behold those aren’t the only kinda Geminis out there. Nope, there is this thing called the Gemini with self-control. Now, as far as this little Scorpio gal is concerned that’s a powerful thing… yep, it most certainly is. And why were there so many of them... well, I needed to learn a lesson and I needed the right Gemini to show me the way! Sometimes you gotta thump on a lot of watermelons to find a ripe one.
So… I’m living, right? Not particularly well… it’s a difficult time and all that, but I’m doing what I do. Anyway, I’m dealing with my stuff and out of nowhere this man starts writing me. The first thing I notice is he’s another one of those doomed Geminis. This is not good, but I’ma be bad with mine and tell him upfront, “I ain’t scurred of no Twin-Signed-Dark-Stormy-Nothin’!” And he tells me, “Good… but you don’t have to worry because I have all that under control!” Well, I decided to see ‘bout that. I put my detective hat on and went to work discovering who the heck this MessengerMan was.
I’m telling you… from day one the conversation was deep… no hesitant getting to know you… where ya from nonsense, and that was fine by me cuz I’m not one for superficial people, places, or things. I like mine’s real (lol) and mystery man brought the real deal.
Course… I ‘ve got this blog where I tell all my business, so he’s got a bit of an advantage… if he can read he’s got access to my inner workings from jump… and he could most assuredly read… and clearly he could write, too.
He writes me all this pertinent, relevant, thought provoking, lead me in the right direction stuff focused on the idea of letting go... which was just what a Scorpio needs to be learning to do, right? Most interestingly, he does it with just enough mastery that I get sucked right in.
Here I am learning what I need to know at the hands of this just-fell-into-my-life Gemini who’s not flittin’ off leavin’ my ass saying… “Huh? What just happened?” Instead, he leads me to recognize the need to let go of old crap, literally, figuratively, and emotionally without walking away from me! Whoa… a Gemini that doesn’t flit. What have we here?
I’m all interested, right? I mean, here’s this scripture quotin’, philosophizin’, email writin’, provocative question askin’, non-flittin’ Gemini with some information on life that I needed so, of course, I was curious as all get out. Kept asking him, “Who are you?” and he kept tossing me cryptic, “I’m a fellow traveler” answers. Huh?
Instead of giving me direct answers to my innocent inquiries OhDeepMysteriousOne would send me off on these helpful little assignments… “Study the concept of surrender and we’ll talk.”
Again, huh?
But dutifully I’d go off and study and then we’d discuss what I learned… still didn’t know who TheSeminarian was. Whoever he was his screen name didn’t fit so I kept calling him something different every couple of contacts. I’d learn some little tidbit, discover something about him and rename him until I finally settled on Jedi Master. Every Jedi worth whatever it is that fuels the Millennium Falcon deserves a Padawan, so I became Padawan.
I’ve never told my Jedi this, but I knew things would work well between us… a Gemini and a Scorpio... when I sent him a message asking him how many Padawans he had.
He responded, “A Jedi may only have one Padawan at a time!”
Good answer! Great answer! Just what I needed to hear!
So began a very friendly, fruitful student/teacher journey!
Here’s to a Gemini and a Scorpio living out the Jedi Code!
