The Season of the Scorpion (Scorpio Season)

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.

The Season of the Scales (Libra Season)

The Sun enters the sign of peacemaker, artist, and lover.

Ruled by Venus, the planet of arts, beauty, and love, this is a time to tend to our aesthetic sensitivity in order to cultivate outer and inner harmony. Exposing ourselves to art, beauty, and being in the company of those we love are all ways that can soothe us and help to develop serenity of spirit.

Libra’s evolutionary goal is to cultivate harmony and establish equilibrium as symbolized the scales. It is through curating and immersing oneself in beautiful and calming environments that Libra fosters a calm inner world. Outer harmony translates into inner harmony for Libra. Taking a moment to appreciate a glowing sunset or gaze at a beautiful painting are methods for the sign of the artist to feel calm.

Libra is associated with the seventh house (of marriage, equal relationships, and compromise) and is a cardinal sign which means that being in relationships (of all kinds) with those that we feel a sense of equalness with is essential for the sign of the peacemaker. Relationships with an openness to see one another’s point of view is a key ingredient for creating harmonious bonds; making peace with paradox is Libra’s aim.

Libra (season) is here to teach us that equality can be found among opposites, that love is a balancing act, and in order for relationships to bloom there must be mutual respect, acceptance, generosity and a willingness to compromise; harmony must be sustained through effort. Libra season also reminds us that sometimes all we need is to pause and appreciate the natural beauty around us to balance and calm our spirt.

The Season of the Perfectionist (Virgo Season)

The Sun enters the sign of the analyst, mentor, and perfectionist Ruled by Mercury, which symbolizes our cognition, this is a time to refine and polish our skills and put them into practice.

Virgo is associated with the sixth house (house of service, skills, daily routines) and is mutable sign which means that self-growth, the hunger to improve, and becoming competent at something is what drives the sign of the purist.

Virgo’s evolutionary goal is to self-transform and aim for perfection (their highest potential). Developing a set of skills which one can be of service through is Virgo’s pathway for achieving this. However, the focus isn’t solely to serve but the expression of self through service. Finding meaningful work that matters and makes a positive impact in the lives of others is essential for the sign of the mentor.

Virgo (season) is here to teach us that self-transformation is realized through daily effort, focus, and self-discipline. Brining our visions to life requires this as well as accurate self-assessment. To reach our true potential, we must first allow ourselves to be beginners, find the right mentors, diligently practice our craft, and remember to exercise self-compassion along the way. This is the wisdom that Virgo imparts on us.

Leo’s evolutionary goal is to develop their authentic self-expression and reveal it. Performing and creating are pathways for Leo to cultivate this; no matter what creative outlet they choose (dancing, poetry, singing) — the endpoint lies is leaving tangible evidence of their thoughts, values, and inner life in the hands of the world.

Like the child in all of us, Leo desires to be seen, acknowledged, and celebrated. To be witnessed for baring their heart and soul to the world. To be applauded for their vulnerable self-expression is both soul nourishing and energizing for Leo.
