Sun & Venus enter Scorpio
Today marks the start of Scorpio season, and in the Northern Hemisphere, the thinning of the veil between our material world and the spirit world. This time of year brings us closer to winter. The days are noticeably darker, the weather is colder, and the life that bloomed six months ago; is at the end of its cycle. It’s the season of endings.
Trees let go of their leaves every year at this time; they understand and trust that new leaves will grow back again. They are not afraid to let go, because they know it’s part of a cycle. Our lives endure these cycles as well. We grow, we experience, we release - after that release something new begins to grow again and the pattern continues.
Key Traits of Scorpio - Intense, Transformative, Resilient, Passionate
Scorpio rules the most intense emotional experiences we can have as humans: sex, death, transformation and intimacy. It is the most mysterious, willful, and secretive sign. It is the sign that wants to know all — the good and bad, the beautiful and ugly. It wants to hide in the shadows while also exposing them.
As a fixed sign, Scorpio does not like to compromise, nor does it like being told what to do or how to think. This is one reason why Scorpios are so good at getting their way and achieving their goals.
As a water sign, Scorpio is intuitive, emotional and has the power to heal others. When operating at its best, Scorpio has the power to renew and transform the world, and those around them, for the better.
Scorpio season is the time to get to the bottom of ourselves. To search for, discover, and confront the secrets we keep hidden. Understand what your shadow aspects are and make peace with them! You will know a shadow aspect when you think of a word that triggers you - it could be “failure”, “selfish”, “show-off”…Any description of yourself that you push away because you think it’s unacceptable and would make you unlovable — that is your shadow!
Scorpio rules our hips and reproductive organs - so yes, ladies, it’s a good time to visit your OBGYN for a check-up if it’s been over a year since your last exam. Gentlemen, you can book whatever you need to at this time as well! You can also release any tension you’ve been carrying in your hips by doing these hip opening exercises: tap here to see!
Venus joins the Sun in Scorpio today where she will be through November 15th. While Venus is in detriment in this zodiac placement - the opposite sign of her home, Taurus, she takes on a much more private attitude. Venus in Scorpio isn’t interested in surface level relationships, but because of her current secretive and untrusting nature it’s harder to let people in and expose what she’s really thinking and feeling. The positive side of this placement gives us the potential for creating deep intimacy within our relationships, we just have to be willing to open up.

Saturn stations direct in Aquarius
Yes, this is happening today too! We now have two outer planets (Pluto and Saturn) that will be out of their retrograde phases making the overall global energy feel less “stuck”. Now that Saturn is picking up speed again, pressures and responsibilities that we might have had to take on during the last few months, feel less heavy now. They still might not be fun, but they feel more manageable.
The area of life that Capricorn rules in your chart was likely to have been the area that experienced more weight. You might have dealt with your own issues with authority during the last few months as well. Lessons you learned can be applied now.
