Alright, let’s talk about this… this… scorpion thing, or whatever it’s called. When was the last time it was around? Don’t ask me, I ain’t no fancy star-reader. But I heard some folks sayin’ stuff, so I’ll tell ya what I picked up.
So, what’s this “Age of Scorpio” anyways? Well, it ain’t about them creepy crawly things, though I wouldn’t wanna find one in my shoe. It’s somethin’ about the stars, see? They say these star-folks, the… uh… astro-logical people, they divvy up time into big chunks, see? Like, really big, thousands of years big. And they give each chunk a name, like this Scorpio one.
Now, these ages, they ain’t like birthdays, ya know? You can’t just flip a calendar and say, “Oh, look, it’s Scorpio time!” It’s more slippery than that. They say it’s all about how the Earth wobbles and stuff, and which star sign is most important at that time. Makes my head spin, it does.
- When did it happen last? Well, from what I gather, it was a long, long time ago. We’re talkin’ way before my grandma was even a twinkle in her mama’s eye. They throw around numbers like “17,000 to 10,500 B.C.” That’s… a lot of winters ago, I reckon. Back when it was cold, real cold, they say. Ice everywhere, like that deep freezer I saw at the store once. They call it the… uh… Pleis-to-scene, somethin’ like that. Ice age, they called it. Brrr!
- What happened then? Well, I ain’t no historian neither, but seems like folks were busy tryin’ not to freeze to death. Probably huntin’ them big wooly… mammoths, I think they called ‘em. Tough times, I bet. No grocery stores back then, that’s for sure. And this star stuff, the Scorpio thing, well, it was influencin’ folks, somehow. I don’t know how stars can do that, but that’s what they say. Maybe made ‘em tough and stingy like them scorpions, who knows?
Now, some folks say there’s a smaller Scorpio thing, too. Something about when you turn 27. They say that’s when some big planet, Saturn, comes back to where it was when you were born. Sounds like a whole lotta hooey to me, but maybe there’s somethin’ to it. Like when your joints start achin’ more, maybe that’s Saturn comin’ back, huh?
Anyways, this Scorpio sign, they say it’s the eighth one in line. Comes around October and November, time when the leaves fall and it starts gettin’ chilly. Makes sense, scorpions like the dark and the cold, I reckon. Not that I’ve seen many around here, thank the Lord.
So, to sum it up, this Age of Scorpio thing happened way back when, during that ice age. Thousands and thousands of years ago. And maybe it comes around in smaller ways too, when you get older, or when the year starts windin’ down. That’s about all I can make of it. Don’t ask me no more fancy questions, I’m just tellin’ ya what I heard. Now, where did I put my tea…?
Is it important? Well, I guess it is to some folks. Them star-gazers, they like to know these things. Maybe it helps them figure out why folks act the way they do, or what’s gonna happen in the future. Me? I just try to get through the day without burnin’ the biscuits. That’s enough star-alignin’ for me.
And that’s the gist of it, as far as I can tell. This Scorpio age, long time ago, ice age, maybe somethin’ to do with gettin’ older too. Don’t go quotin’ me on none of this, though. I’m just an old woman tryin’ to make sense of all this fancy talk.
Anything else? Nope, that’s all I got. If you wanna know more, go ask one of them star-folks. Just don’t be surprised if they start talkin’ your ear off about planets and risin’ signs and all that jazz. Me, I’m gonna go have my tea now and forget all about these scorpions and ice ages.
