Scorpio comes to us at the peak of autumn when brown and orange leaves fall to the ground and the weather keeps getting colder. We are invited to slowly adjust to life inside our homes and to find greater comfort within our communities.
Scorpio teaches us that endings are not failures and that when one path ends many others reveal themselves. That is why Hydra is a powerful symbol for Scorpio. In the myth, it didn't matter how many heads Hercules would cut - they kept growing back more numerous than before. But the Greek hero had a trick up his sleeve, he asked his steward for help. And the little boy provided fire to Hercules so he could burn shut the necks of Hydra.
The only way out is through. Only with the power of light and love do things truly end, and it is always our choice when to invoke those powers. But they are always readily available in the people around us who love us. When will we forgive, tell people close to us we love them and show great care for our highest values? Those are the moments we are at our strongest, and only then do we truly have the power to change the world. Everything we see around us, shifting in shades, moving around, getting upset over trivialities - that is not the real world, that is not how the change comes to the world. True change only comes through the greatness of the heart. When the emotion of love shuts one path and opens a new more beautiful one.
The Colors of the Scorpio Season
Mars Opposite Pluto
This aspect brings intensity and power struggles to the forefront. It asks us to confront what we fear losing and reminds us that real strength lies in letting go of control. Since this is an opposition, you will likely feel its energy the most in your relationships. Don't be surprised if you feel like you are not the one making important decisions but the people around you. There is a good chance they feel the same.
Mars Trine Neptune
This harmonious aspect softens Mars' fiery nature. Whatever your goals are at this time you will choose a more gentle and even spiritual way of going about it. When drive meets dreams, we can achieve more than we imagined. This aspect also asks us to be kind even when our temper says otherwise.
Venus Square Saturn
This aspect challenges us to reconsider how we value love, responsibility, and commitment. Blending affection and accountability is often like mixing oil and water, but for the sake of growth, we need to put feelings aside and do the right thing.
