The Scope Today+Fears of money

Fears of money

"We are all powerless as children, and money looms so powerfully... we don't grow up to claim our financial power until we look money directly in the eye, face our fears, and claim that power back."

-- Suze Orman

How does money scare you?

In your journal, write down your greatest fears around money, and see what comes up. If emotions surface, as they undoubtedly will, let them come. Really feel your feelings, without judgment. They'll give you valuable information.

"In all realms of life it takes courage to stretch your limits, express your power, and fulfill your potential; it’s no different in the financial realm. In a buy-now, consume-now culture like ours, it takes courage to make the decisions today that may make us rich tomorrow. It takes courage to face up to the facts of old age and mortality and to prepare for them. It also takes courage to live generously, regardless of your financial state of affairs. ...It takes courage to ask for what you want. And it takes courage to live honestly, wisely, true to yourself ...and true to your desire for more."

-- Suze Orman

Leo (July 23 — Aug. 22)

The last thing you need now is an exercise in futility. If something just isn't possible, it isn't possible. Accept as much and don't worry. For you the outlook has never held more promise. A recent struggle simply had to happen.

Gemini (May 21 — June 21)

Your future lies ahead to where the sky meets the land. The horizon, however, recedes no matter how fast you run towards it, just like that pot of gold at the end of rainbow. Do keep moving toward your dream, even if it seems too distant.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 — Nov. 22)

If you find yourself trapped in a cage with a tiger, survival depends on looking it straight in the eye, or so I've heard said. But, the beast you now face is not flesh and bone. It is only made of paper. This, you'll find, will prove to be easy work.

Pisces (Feb. 20 — March 20)

When a movie nears the end, it becomes apparent with the build-up to and nervous anticipation of the climax. Likewise, The crescendo of activity that's been building up in your world has reached its culmination. And with it comes a promise of deliverance.
