The Eclipses are upon us and there’s no telling what’s surfacing from the depths. Scorpio Season begins Sunday, October 23rd, accompanied by Venus entering Scorpio as well. Scorpio is an “all or nothing” energy, guided by passion. Scorpio is provocative, sinuous, strong-willed, and intense. Scorpio Season can be an immensely healing and transformative energy - but there’s plenty of opportunity for jealousy, vindictiveness, and manipulation to make their way into the conversation. Scorpio is a water sign, it represents the Deep and Unknown shadows of the water element. Coming in with a strong backbone is Saturn in Aquarius, who’s stationing Direct this weekend after a four month retrograde. Now it’s time to take the lessons we’ve learned since then and incorporate them into our lives. Keep the Roots but See the Future. Everything is going to feel a bit clearer, more urgent and also more intense now. With common sense and an eye toward practical results, now is a good time to make long-term plans and to sign contracts; we can be confident about making commitments to others. For the rest of the year we’ll work hard towards whatever our intended goal is. Whatever you put your mind to should lead to permanent results and achievements. You’ve just got to stick with it. Tuesday, October 25th, we’re greeted by the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Scorpio. This is Powerfully Transformative energy. Level Up or Let It Go. This Eclipse directly impacts our relationships. It’s a great time to put an end to any lingering grudges and bad blood between estranged loved ones. Eclipses signify moments of fate. The time of false friendliness is now over, and you should be ready to show your true colors. Power-conscious people can act accordingly now. Saturday, October 22, we’re quickly gifted with a beautiful transit to help us grab any additional clarity of the heart we may need. A Venus cazimi will occur between Venus in Libra and the Sun in Libra. A cazimi happens when the Sun & another planet meet at the same place, at the same time, in at an angle called a conjunction. Venus cazimis are one of the most potent days of the year for connection, pleasure, and beauty, as Venus gets purified by the Sun’s rays. The messages we receive over the day will help to reveal the bigger picture, in reference to our relationships as well as issues related to social justice. Divine timing is always waiting for your acceptance.
