You will be in Asia with me in less than a week from now. It is exciting that you will be discovering a completely new part of the world. I often wonder what you will think of it and if you will like it as much as I do. People here are different in their approach. They move at a slower pace as you know and keep their emotions behind a smile which can mean many different things, as you will see. They are in general superstitious and interested in the supernatural, in spirits, fate and karma. Fortunetellers are very popular while Buddhism shapes thoughts and values. In Thailand and Burma especially, it is a strongly held belief that the day of the week a person is born on determines his/her character. For this reason, people born on certain days are considered to be more compatible than others. In China and Vietnam on the other hand, it is the "year" you are born in the lunar calendar (Tiger, Horse and Snake) which shapes personality and who will get along and fall in love with who. This is a little bit different than in the west where we are more focused on the month of birth and the signs of the zodiac, something that is not largely followed in Asia.
This actually reminds me of our very first conversation when we exchanged birth dates and you exclaimed, 'That's great! Maybe it is written in the stars.' upon learning that I am a 'Crab', born under the sign of Cancer as Cancer and Scorpio (your sign) are supposed to be highly compatible. Both water signs, Cancer is thought to be ruled by the Moon and emotion while Scorpio is ruled by the planets Mars (passion) and Pluto (power), making for an intense emotional and physical combination. I found this nice description of our two signs' compatibility to share with you:
The attraction between Cancer and Scorpio is magnetic, deeply felt and has the potential to withstand the test of time. The warmth, caring and devoted nature of Cancer feel regenerating to Scorpio while Scorpio's sense of an all-encompassing love appeals to Cancer deeply. Both have similar ways of expressing their love and make each other feel "at home" throughout their lives.
I like the part which says our love will make us feel "at home". It will be nice if we two gypsies, (born in different corners of the world and living in equally distant places) could find a home not in a place but in a person. I hope we will be "home" to one another wherever we are and wherever we may find ourselves in the future.
