The Sun entering SCORPIO can be likened to an energy shift from day to night. It is that powerful and strong. This sign is the second water sign and the deepest of them all. Scorpio is a fixed sign making them a challenge for the rest of us that think that they need to change something about themselves. They are ruled by the now, non-considered planet, Pluto, and the planet Mars.

The nature of the Scorpion is strong, shrewd, and very deep thinking. Their ability to face the facts of any situation is unequaled. Scorpio usually has great healing ability and are usually very healthy. It takes a lot to bring a Scorpio down. They are survivors.

These deep souls have three symbols that represent them ... The Scorpion, the Eagle, and finally the Phoenix. The Scorpion is of the lower vibration … it stings others then itself. The next level is the eagle who flies close to the Sun, thus giving them great perspective. They get the lay of the land, like, who is doing what to whom both politically and sexually. The most developed Scorpio is the Phoenix … the mythical bird of India who sang the most beautiful song just before it died. Then, burst into flames and a new bird would arise. For the Scorpio’s redemption this is the key … to rise from their own ashes and release judgments.

The essence of the Scorpio native is transformation; in ordinary every day life. This gives them the ability to live intensely where every moment is dramatic. They are drama. To a Scorpio, love that does not have drama and emotional intensity will never last. They also are the one water sign that will fight, as fighting is another expression of a peak experience. They are intensely sensitive and easily hurt by others.

Often Scorpio gets a bad rap when communicating since they are often misunderstood. They will then keep really silent thereby giving them the trait of being called secret. It is better to feel pain for a Scorpio than to feel nothing. They are very primitive in their feelings and others often do not understand their depth as it is difficult. Their feelings do not lend themselves to verbal or intellectual communication.

What the Planets are Doing...

This new Sun in Scorpio allows all of us to dwell in intensity and drama. The same day Mars moves into Scorpio, bringing the energy of its traditional ruler into power. This can make the native Scorpio feel like they can accomplish quite a bit. This placement can bring a great sense of energy for all of us to participate in moving ahead in our lives.

October 24th, Venus moves into Scorpio … WOW … a great combination as Mars and Venus conjunct later that evening (and early a.m. for the east coast). These two planets will not do this for two more years. These are the social planets as well as the romance guides. It is the start of a new cycle. This is a great time to get out and socialize.

On the 25th of October, the Sun and Venus will be conjunct for even more social fun. Mercury goes retrograde (reverses direction) for three weeks beginning on October 28th. Do not buy a car or electronic equipment. This is a good time to clean out those closets and cabinets. Have a garage sale.

October 29th, Neptune goes direct. We can move on with courage towards our spiritual path and destiny. Get into a discipline and begin to meditate daily.

The Full Moon on November 4th is the second most powerful Full Moon of the year. It is the Scorpio energy again demonstrating its power. It can be a day of power.

November 17th Venus moves into Sagittarius. Let’s begin to make travel plans. Our ability to flirt can surface again,

On the same day Mercury makes its station and goes direct, we’re still not out of the woods as it completes its cycle on December 4th. We will feel a bit stronger when it moves in a direct motion.
