10/30/23 • 19 min
In this week of Halloween and Day of the Dead, align with the Scorpio season by wrestling with opposing archetypal currents to discover a deeper balance within you. The Sun (Conscious Self) in Scorpio opposes Jupiter (Mentor) in Taurus shining awareness on outworn fear and scarcity beliefs. Venus (Relational One) in Virgo opposes Neptune (Dreamer) in Pisces challenges you to break spells of sacrifice and rescue operations in relationships. Mercury (Storyteller) in Scorpio opposes Uranus (Maverick) in Taurus activating your ability to tell some key truths to yourself about how you spend your life energy. Saturn (Responsible One) turns forward in Pisces inviting you to some "adulting" work with your unconscious emotions and psychic energies. Lean in and take responsibility for your feelings.

#231-"May We Open to the Blessed Light That Comes"--Week of October 23, 2023
The upcoming Full Moon Eclipse in Taurus on October 28th serves as your cosmic circuit breaker inviting you to shed old fears of scarcity and embrace your deeper truths about resiliency. At the beginning of this eclipse week, as the Sun (Conscious Self) enters Scorpio, it trines Saturn (Responsible One) in Pisces. As your awareness (Sun) dives into deeper emotional truths (Scorpio), you're called to remember to lean in with your mature compassion and empathy for yourself and others.
At the Lunar Eclipse, the Sun is conjunct Mercury (Storyteller) and Mars (Advocate/Warrioress) in Scorpio inviting you to recognize and track old mental stories of wounded Scorpio themes such as un-metabolized trauma with its resentment and fear. Yet, equally, you are called to courageously transform those wounded stories with your emotional honesty and agency. Also the Moon (Instinctive Nurturer) is conjunct Jupiter (Teacher/Mentor) in Taurus helping you to recognize and shift personal and ancestral fear-based survival strategies. As Angeles Arrien says, align with "the good, true and beautiful" of your ancestors.

#233-"Wisdom is the Seeing of the Shape of Your Life"--Week of Of Nov. 6, 2023
Venus (Relational One) enters Libra for a month inviting you to create more honest balance and reciprocity in your life. Mercury (Storyteller) enters Sagittarius (also for a month) beckoning you to see a bigger picture of your life and your core beliefs. Mercury in Sagittarius squares Saturn (Responsible One) in Pisces calling you to integrate faith, compassion and empathy into your "certainty" about others and the world. Mars (Warrior/ess) in Scorpio opposes Uranus (Maverick) in Taurus challenging you to wake up to the deeper roots of your strong emotions such as fear, anger or desire. Instead of unconsciously projecting onto others, have the courage to address what it is that really upsets or catalyzes you.
