Scorpio is a sign of death and rebirth. At its most unevolved, Scorpio is represented by the Scorpion – stinging by reaction. The next evolution for Scorpio is the snake shedding its skin. The last evolution of Scorpio is the Pheonix rising from its ashes.
Scorpio energy enhances the ability to be perceptive. It allows you to be aware of the motives of others, but also of yourself. Often, we don’t understand our motives or don’t take time to analyze them. Why do we feel the way we do, or react the way we do? Why do we feel we need something? If we use the Scorpio energy to support us, we can understand ourselves better.
Scorpio rules transformation. As the trees turn colour and shed their leaves we are being supported to shed
whatever is no longer useful, to make space for realizing who we truly are. We need the space as next month we go searching for that truth. Scorpio invites us to go into the depths, to discover what we may not want to know, to dig it out and transform it into neutral energy that can be used for other things. This is definitely an LPIT (Learning Path) energy!
Forgiveness plays a huge role this month, of others, yes, but I think most importantly of ourselves. We don’t need to carry anger, pain, guilt or shame. They slow us down, or keep us immobile, and for the most part, damage only us. So, ferret out any of these emotions you’re holding onto and let them go. Just ask for them to be removed.
The Scorpio energy can be pretty intense, especially if we resist it. Believe me, resistance is futile. Interactions may be intense, so don’t expect to live life on the surface this month. Take the opportunity to delve deep. Don’t take things personally right now, but is someone says something that stings, ask yourself, is this valid? If it is, do something about it. Change it. Only you can.
It makes perfect sense that Scorpio rules the organs of elimination. It also rules the sexual organs.
If you are setting intent for this New Moon, here are some samples:
- I am asking that I be aware of when I am judging someone, including myself, and learn to shift this behaviour to understanding that we are all doing the best we can in the moment.
- I am asking to recognize, acknowledge and release that which no longer serves me with grace and ease.
- I am asking to remember to breathe through intense moments that may come up and to bless all involved.
