Scorpio Season 2023
Scorpio Season begins on October 23rd and ends when the Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22nd. Mercury and Mars are also in the water sign during most of this period, so we will have those three bodies in Scorpio until November 9th.
With Mercury and Mars accompanying the Sun in Scorpio, the themes of this sign are magnified. Scorpio is a sign of introspection. By embracing Scorpio, we can see deeply into the heart of things, and at our best, courageously root out the truth.
The Eclipses of Fall 2023
With the upcoming eclipse of October 14th, the shadow side of Libra is more likely to show up. The invitation is to become aware of our own Libra shadow behaviors, and to release them. Within our closest one-on-one relationships, we need to push ourselves to be honest about what might be bothering us, and what we want—even if it upsets the lovely Libran illusion of peace.
The Eclipses of Spring 2023
The Aries Eclipse of April 19th features the sun and moon next to (conjunct) Jupiter in Aries. Jupiter magnifies what it touches, and so this solar eclipse / new moon in Aries is especially potent. It’s also notable that this is the second new moon in Aries in a row–a somewhat infrequent event. So, we are getting an extra dose of Aries energy. Aries themes are:
Starting something new
Facing fears
Taking action
Owning desires
Leaving Scorpio and Entering Sagittarius
Sagittarius is the archetype of the free-spirited wanderer. The emphasis is on possibilities, not realities. While we can certainly err on the side of being unrealistic during a Big Sadge Time, it feels that in this particular instance, a reprieve from the heaviness of Scorpio is more than warranted. We all need to breathe a collective sigh of relief as planets start entering Sagittarius.
Eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio 2022
The current eclipses are lighting up the Taurus/Scorpio polarity. Taurus is about stability, security, and groundedness. Scorpio is about intimacy (with ourselves and others), authenticity, and passion. The light and the shadow of both signs will be available during this period. The work is to become aware of the Taurus and Scorpio traits within us.
Self-Care for Your Sign: Part 2
When we don’t give ourselves enough time for self-care, we feel off-center. We can experience feelings of confusion, weariness, and depression. It can sometimes feel like our life is happening to someone else.
Self-Care for Your Sign: Part 1
When someone seeks out a reading of any kind, it’s not usually because everything is fine. Some of my clients do come to me for a yearly check-in, at which time they may only want a forecast of the coming trends. But most often people who want a reading are in a challenging time in their lives, and they are looking for insight.
