As years have passed I have been dealing less and less with my brothers, we used to be quite close once. Scorpio was always a teaser with me and difficult with parents earlier, but other than things were swell with us. No real animosity ever as family is what really matters. My Scorpio brother has always been musical and artistic, but also doesn’t think that much outside the box which has made deep talks nearly impossible. He’s very much ”a science man” and I believe in the scientific method too of course, but it’s not enough for me. He has had no room for religion, alternative thinking or such in his life. I think he barely knows what I might think about such issues, I have never talked about it openly.
With my parents I have been a bit more open, but they’re still old school lutheran Christians with their own belief systems, for example believing in reincarnation is a step too far for them and I can understand it. They are ready to entertain new thoughts and ideas, especially my father, but he doesn’t vibe well with new spiritual ideas which would conflict with his childhood teachings. He did surprise me by getting into reiki healing training two decades ago though. I don’t know if it’s just my father or if it’s an Aries thing, but he is really rigid and has strong stances with his stubborn ego. Because I am stubborn too there can be intellectual clashes quite often. Because of the kindness of my mother it has been easy for me to be more close with her.
I always had an issue with lying and immoral acts, because I am all about the truth. I had a good childhood friend who was a compulsive liar and as a child I wondered why he had to lie and confabulate so much, it just seemed ridiculous. I can’t remember when he was born.
