The week starts with a dreamy, soft aspect from Venus in Scorpio in trine to Neptune in Pisces on Monday. This combination of planets and signs turn our energies to things like dreams, imagination, love, and leisure. It's an easy, floaty energy, definitely to be soaked up while it lasts, which is not long.
Sun Enter Scorpio
On Wednesday, October 23rd, the veil begins to thin and the Sun moves from light and social Libra into deep and introspective Scorpio. Whenever the Sun shifts signs, our internal essence moves with it and with Scorpio, it means our energies turn inward, shining light on the more shadowy aspects of ourselves. Scorpio gets a bad rap sometimes as being among the more difficult energies for many of us to navigate. As a fellow water sign, I can relate. However, the Scorpio archetype is so essential for us as spiritual beings as it reveals the true potentials for bliss and love as earthly beings. Scorpio is the part of us that asks not only 'why am I here?' but 'what am I underneath the persona?' Scorpio understands we are multifaceted beings, here to dive deep, learn from our experiences and truly transform on the deeper, spiritual level. Scorpio understands that in order to do that, we must traverse the underworld of our psyche to face death and decay, to face our demons, to face our traumas and strange, secret soul urges in order to reveal what we are underneath the underneath. Your Scorpio friends opted into a strange life this time around, and from the many amazing Scorpios I know, they are among the greatest healers and psychics out there, I can guarantee that. But that's because the lives they lead are not particularly easy lives. Scorpios are a rare and beautiful mix of extremely sensitive and insanely tough. They come equipped to do the hard soul work, dig deep and heal themselves in order to show others how to, as well.
Scorpio is the most perceptive of the signs. They see, hear, feel, and sixth sense EVERYTHING. This is why intimacy is a running theme through Scorpio season. It is a deeply psychic energy and the reason you may have trouble in Scorpio season is because Scorpio loathes only one thing, and it is lies. If you are fake or false in any manner of being, Scorpio knows (sometimes even if you don't!) Scorpio can't help but be intimate with us because they have the ability to peer right into our souls. Scorpio is only ever hurt because they are willing to reveal their depths to anyone, but if one reciprocates the Scorpio's vulnerability with lies or fakeness, the Scorpio instantly knows and that person will feel the Scorpion's sting.
Scorpio season also brings up themes of power and self-esteem, death and transformation to the fore. The Scorpio/8th house area of your chart reveals an area you must transform in this life, but also deep reserves of power from which to pull from, as well. Anyone with prominent Scorpio/8th house placements knows these are recurrent themes. Scorpios must transform their insecurities to understand their immense power in this life. It is during Scorpio season that we can all explore these themes and discover new reserves of power within ourselves in order to ascend higher.
Scorpio New Moon
On Saturday, October 27th we will see our Scorpio new moon at 4° of Scorpio. This moon brings transformative surprises as it is in direct opposition to Uranus in Taurus. At the time of the new moon, Mars in Libra will square Saturn in Capricorn, as well. This is an energy of frustration and being held back and because Mars is the traditional ruler of Scorpio, it is important to note. Mars squaring Saturn is always a practice in patience and accepting divine timing. Something may arise around this new moon that stumps you and stalls your perceived progress. Your instinct may be to react in anger, but with the alignment to Uranus, my advice is to calm yourself and trust it. This new moon is otherwise very positive and if you are setting intentions by it, you can expect good outcomes, especially in the months to come, I just think outcomes may not be exactly what you are expecting. This moon is an opportunity for real change to happen if we accept it and allow the necessary deaths to occur. What do you need to let die in order to be reborn? A relationship? A project? A job? Look to the Scorpio/Taurus axis in your chart, more specifically, to 4° of these signs.
