Sometimes we have to discover what we’re not to know who we are. And it’s perfect, because we’re humans who are in a state of continual evolution. This is especially the case in Scorpio, a sign of probing + transmutation.

✧

The transit of Mars through Scorpio amplifies + focuses the power of last week’s solar eclipse. Hidden desires or stuck emotions that blocked access to who we truly are + our ability to trust our inner voice may be coming up to be expressed, both collectively + personally.

✧

Collectively this isn’t an easy time. Military action will likely increase globally. Stay alert to personal surroundings. Because of Mars’ transit, we’re still deep in eclipse energy into January.

✧

Sun + Mercury also happen to be transiting the eclipse star Jyestha that connects us to our leadership ability + heroism. We’re being invited to open our eyes to whom we’re becoming + what needs to change to embody + relax into this. At a deeper level, some of us could also experience the disorientation + elation of remembering + integrating parts of us that were suppressed or we thought were lost.

✧

This is an alchemical time for the planet + for us as human participants of a conscious universe. We sometimes forget that Scorpio can represent parts of ourselves that have been frozen, sometimes for aeons, for so long + so deeply that we may have forgotten who we are. It’s a defense strategy against wounding or trauma, part of protective Scorpio’s paradoxical cravings for truth, authenticity, transformation + control.

✧

But change is inevitable + it’s happening. It can feel like a surge: of emotion, of creativity or unconscious shadow material rising to awareness, of breaking through a stalemate.

✧

This could feel intense, potent + exciting. Life force is regenerating as ancient frozen spaces are breaking up + starting to move. Trusting the process + asking for support when we need it may be the most challenging part of the journey.

✧

We’re deep in an alchemical shift. If this resonates it may be best to delay making major life changes for about a month.
