We moved into the sign of Scorpio between October 21st and 23rd. Scorpio is a fixed water sign that takes us down to the depths to discover what we’re hiding from ourselves. It’s a sign that invites change. 
When we experience something that is too much to handle, whether it’s the way we’re spoken to, or of, the way we’re treated, or an event that is too shocking or fearful, we create coping mechanisms in order to survive.
One of those coping mechanisms is to bury the feelings as deeply as we can, so we can fool ourselves that situations never happened, or at least that they did not have an affect us. In the work that I do, that would be called creating barriers around the heart or brain. What happened is buried in the unconscious safely behind hefty stone walls. This protects us from the pain, the fear, the confusion.
We’re being asked now to finally face what we’ve buried. The more we release, the more light we can carry. The more light we carry, the more we can help others release and heal just through our presence.
Scorpio is an inner journey. It rules birth, death and sexuality (creativity). This gives us the opportunity to examine our triggers, our behaviour patterns, then transform that which no longer serves us. This takes time alone to explore our inner reality.
When we understand ourselves we see what needs to be celebrated and what needs to shift. Set intent to release and heal. Scorpio rules self-mastery and some forms of healing, so take charge, celebrate what got you to where you are and release what needs to go.
Take some time alone to do this little meditation:
Do some deep breathing to relax and centre yourself.
Close your eyes. Breathe in, pulling the breath down to the abdomen, then fill the rib cage then the shoulder/chest. Slowly release the breath from the shoulder/chest, then rib cage and the abdomen. Do this 3 or 4 times until you feel centred and relaxed.
When it feels right, ask your guides, your angels, your higher self, whoever you work with, to bring what needs to be released into your consciousness in a way that you can understand and handle. Relax and let it come. Then ask to learn what you needed to learn, to see the gift in the situation, and to heal. When your meditation feels complete, thank whoever has been working with you, slowly open your eyes and move into the now.
The answer may not come immediately. It may be modelled for you in someone else’s behaviour; you may see it in a line in a book. Expect an answer, then watch for it. When you get it, ask for the learning and healing, so that you may move forward.
Scorpio is a sign of loyalty and tenacity. In a relationship, they are focused on the partner, seldom straying. When working on a project, they give it their full attention, looking at it from all angles, probing it to find out all there is to know. Scorpio skims the surface of nothing that it is interested in. With the help of the Scorpio energy, we can give up the slap-dash and give people, situations and ideas the attention they deserve.
It’s no surprise that physically Scorpio deals with the organs of elimination, sexual diseases and sexual organs. So pay attention to your body and how it is releasing, and practice safe sex.
