The Sun enters the sign of the hypnotist, psychoanalyst, and truth-teller.
Ruled by Pluto (modern ruler), the planet of transformation, and Mars (traditional ruler), the planet of courage, this is a time to have the courage to face the truth within us and let it guide us to our transformation.
Scorpio’s evolutionary goal is to bravely and honestly probe life and make the unconscious conscious. It is through delving into the caverns of our mind, and exploring the inner workings of our body and soul that we bring our unconscious material to light. Scorpio’s taste for intensity, the truth, and its emotional stamina is what powers the sign of the detective to unearth all that has been buried away and bring it to the light of our conscious mind for us to face and transform.
Scorpio is associated with the eight house (of sex, death, and occult) and is a fixed sign which means the scorpion holds the strength to cut through “taboo” material and be renewed by it. Mental health, shadow work, accepting our mortality and sexuality is the terrain of this house.
Scorpio (season) is here to teach us that in order to transform, we must strip away the layers and break down the walls that we hide behind to arrive at our truth. Doing so takes emotional nakedness and courage to make the descent into deep tunnels of our psyche.
It’s through feeling our way through this process that we can be honest with ourselves about who we are and what we want. Scorpio (season) reminds us that we have the capability to look deeply into ourselves, face our fears, and ask ourselves the hard questions so that we can arrive at clarity, truth, and a deep understanding of what we want to commit to.
