Desire, Passion, Intensity, Needful Things and Looking at the Darkness. Welcome to Scorpio Season…yes it is upon us. All of the above themes will be highlighted during the time between October 23rd and November 22cnd.
The sign Scorpio has two ruling planets: Mars, our planet of aggression, physical action and desire and Pluto (my favorite planet) our planet of death, rebirth, transformation and our subconscious energy. Scorpio can be one of the most guarded signs in our celestial lineup. Their energies and vibrations are highly emotive and psycho-spiritual. Scorpio always seek to understand themselves through the energies of these planets. Scorpio is always about the deep. Themes of saturation and self-realization. Highly emotional but not showing it they excel when using their intuition and high powered perception in our earthly world. With their laser focus they seek to unearth what is hidden. Scorpio do not have many fears, except for maybe being abandoned or exposed. And even in abandonment they are reborn. A Phoenix rising from the ashes.
During Scorpio Season you can use the intense and transformative energies to face long held fears, push yourself into uncharted territory and deepen your passions. You can be assertive by being introspective so you know what you want on a profound level. During this special and pronounced time you can learn the discipline of staying in your body, not running away so you can find your edges. Here are some of the themes that will be highlighted and deepened during this transformative time.
Intimacy
Scorpio is the MOST intimate sign of the zodiac. I am talking intimacy, not just sex and mental bonds. It is the unspoken and the incomprehensible that this seasons fire stokes. To be trapped in your own understanding of yourself can be very isolating. Even for us loners out there. This is an incredible time to remove your masks and allow a trusted few to see you for who you really are. Facing deep fears such as abandonment, feeling exposed and even rejection and disappoint. All of these themes are Plutonian and can really only arise when someone becomes vulnerability in an attempt to be intimate. Scorpio intimacy is always laced with these lessons because of the extreme emotions that are involved with this sign. Even though showing your vulnerable side is a risk the rewards, even if things to go exactly as you would like are profound. They show you your edges, who you are and what your needs are. Being intimate isn’t telling a stranger every single one of your secrets its more about connection with yourself, being a listener, being empathic and tuning into the synchronistic and synergistic forces that are operating during Scorpio Season and how they benefit the development of our soul. Do not be afraid to show those close to you that you love them. Tell them you love them, show them you love them. Let them know if you are upset with them or if you are afraid. Get it out, let it out. Even those you don’t know allow some barriers to dissolve and let another’s energy connect with in a natural way. Let yourself feel all of it. Don’t push it down. This season will show you that the relationship you have with yourself creates the setting for all other external relationships you will create and nourish in your lifetime.
Passions
The deep desire to connect to our inner passions is very evident during Scorpio Season. To me, as a Scorpio myself, this is the most rewarding and transformative part of this season. A reconnection to ones self. To understand yourself through introspection and to really think about what you are involving your energy in. Think deeply about what you are pointing your eyes to. Lean deeply into the things that captivate you. Allow the epiphanies and realizations to flow forward that gives one the clarity that comes from a quantum process that is beyond logic and that has its roots in the completeness of the Universe. Scorpio Season is a time of great clarity. It is a time of deep downloads from the higher self and to access layers of your soul that would like to be able to express itself here on Earth. Creativity, starting a small business, begining a blog and assisting humanity are all excellent channels to tap into at this time. Allow your energy to just flow. This isn’t really a time to create and adhere to rigid schedules or have perfectionist expectations. Tune into the themes of Pluto. The Unknown. Ask yourself in the morning ‘What do I want to do with my energy today?” ” How may I create depth and saturation in my life?” Passions save lives. Passions are our anchors here in the three-dimensional plane. I believe our passions our imbedded memories from our past lives that help create a foundation for our souls to expand and grow while in our body. Scorpio is all about passion. No Scorpio that I have ever known does anything halfway-everything to the max. Until no stone is unturned.
Mastering the Art of Letting Things Go
Scorpio is not a sign to let anything go. It is a fixed sign and love to “fixate” on anyone and anything that is a person, place or thing of interest. Besides Capricorn, no one holds a grudge like a Scorpio. They don’t understand forgiveness. Their grudges are legendary, generational and sometimes can keep them alive. They cannot afford to be merciful to those that wound them due to their sensitivity. And even if you apologize to them you will always be banished to their outer circle and will never make it back to their inner realm after a betrayal. During Scorpio Season themes of overreaction to deceit, misunderstandings, jealousy and trust will be brought to the forefront. The Universe may even help you pull situations into your life that mirror the dark spaces of Pluto to assist you in purifying these aspects of your soul. Lean into it and try to let go. This season will help you understand that everything is always changing and transforming. Scorpio is also a skilled observer and no one can match their regenerative qualities-they came come back from Deaths Doorstep if they want to by sheer will. Observing, taking a step back from overreaction so you can preserve your energy will still allow you to learn and deepen without hurting and destroying your peace. This is an amazing time to write down your resentments so you know what you are holding onto and what is upsetting you. Once your resentments have been put pen to paper one of the most profound ways to release is to start setting your boundaries with people and situations that are triggering you. Believe me, you will need them when we get into Sagittarius Season. You are not just the things that happen to you. You are only shaped by them. The releasing will make room for joy and sharing and the introspection that is so cherished at this time of year.
Set Fire to Low Vibrations
This season occurs in high fall. This is when foliage is cut back, sweaters are pulled out to wear, fireplaces and cozy nights. The warmth and beauty of this time cannot be understated. Toxicity does not go with the mood of Scorpio Season. Stay away from negative people, places and situations. This is a time for inner purification and the soul needs stillness and solitude. It isn’t so much peace that is trying to be attained here but time and space for reflection so that the person may solidify the things that have learned over the course of the year. Psychic vampires, those that are eternally lost and narcissists can simply take a hike. Get rid of these people during this time. Purify and simplify. Only those that nourish your and you have complete allegiance to should remain. You may find yourself doing this automatically. The Universe is also deeply involved in Scorpio Season and will sometimes create a pronunciation of densified people who will trigger you in order to bring these imprints to the surface so you can free yourself of these lower frequencies. You have the right and the absolute power to have whomever you would like to spend time with. You are not beholden to any abusive person or situation. This is especially true for all the empaths and sensitive folks who can sometimes align with lower vibrational people in order to heal them in some way. By loving yourself more you can release your energy and allow these people to heal and deepen on their own.
Understanding Your Darkness
Just as there is light there is darkness. I feel that much of what we consider darkness and evil is catalysts and can promote the spiritual growth that the soul needs in order to ascend. The sign of Scorpio is acutely in tune with our collective suffering. It does understand the darkness. Think of one of the totems of Scorpio, the Desert Lizard, who hides in a cave in the desert. Paralyzed with fear and hiding from everything. This is the lowest totem in this sign and eventually moves up the totem to the Scorpion, which is a predator. Scorpio Season underpinnings is all about the darkness. The things that we hide from. Our secrets. Our depths of perception. Why we do the things that we do. How destruction and our attraction to this force brings new energy cycles for us to thrive within. The energy of Scorpio Season allows us to fully feel all that we fear and suppress. It helps us understand that they may be external threats around us but the fear itself is within our being and that one of the points of the soul inhabiting the body is to name these fears, identify the origins of these fears and find a channel in which to release them.
Rebirth
One of the totems of Scorpio is the Sphinx. In astrology the Sphinx is the highest totem in the ascension of a Scorpio. They don’t always stay in this symbol but when they do it is usually after a period of darkness of suffering. And then they are reborn. Rising from the ashes. This season will present in your life situations that can literally shred you into a million little pieces. Please don’t run and hide. Bask in the embers. Allow yourself to look and feel and understand what was keeping your together. What was holding you back. Rebirth is always connected to the darkness and what we can consider Evil. This is a time to go just beneath the surface to discover what is there so we can understand who we really are. Don’t worry about the methods that are utlized to become reborn. These can be quite primal and involve taboo themes such as anger, rage and acknowledging that we can never really be sure of anything here on this earth. We cannot stop the world from being in motion. In accepting the darker experiences we are continuously reborn and made new in our eternal presence in our journey of life.
This Scorpio season is going to be especially intense due to the retrograde in Scorpio and other planetary alignments but is unlocks the door for us to release oppressive and faulty beliefs that we hold that may be holding us back in order to access the deep transformative energies that is available to us at this time. This is the season of shedding skins and rising from the ashes and embracing the power that just beneath the surface. It’s always been there, now you can see it and integrate it into your life.
Blessings,
