The Darkest the Night, the Closer the Dawn
The Scorpio Season
October 22 to November 21, 2020
From October 22 to November 21 starts with the ingress of the Sun in the Sign of Scorpio. Considering the circumstances, I thought it would be interesting for my readers to dive (since going deep is the Scorpio specialty) into the chart that defines a very crucial month of the year.
The Sun going forward and Mercury backwards will meet in just two more days, so here we talk about a ‘combust’ Silver Winged Messenger. Technically still in opposition to Uranus, the nervous system is in maximum alert, there is anxiety and volatility in the air. All Mercurian symbolisms are haywire. You mind is fickle because of the overload. You may start one thing, and go to another, another and another, without being able to finish anything or making sense of what you’re doing. Your computer heats up, freezes, crashes, internet gives you error and other weird warnings. It’s sensible to make sure to save your work often, even to keep copies in two different drives. Do not leave electrical appliances on unattended. In just one turn, you may forget what you were doing, and when you finally remember, it’s too late. I can’t stress enough how beneficial a daily meditation can be to help you cope with this kind of energy.
Mercury, under the Sunrays, in Scorpio and retrograde, is stressed out, which translates in our minds being extremely charged.
We can hope that October 25, by midday, when Mercury and the Sun conjoin at 2º48’ Scorpio, the lightbulb goes on and some clarity lightens your path. Dane Rudhyar's Sebian symbol of 3º♏️ is
“A HOUSE-RAISING PARTY IN A SMALL VILLAGE ENLISTS THE NEIGHBORS' COOPERATION. KEYNOTE: The feeling of community demonstrated in a basic joint effort.”
The Moon is at her perfect waxing square exactly conjunct Pluto at 22º46’ Capricorn, activating once again the precise degree of the historical January 12 Saturn Pluto conjunction. There is no doubt that the Scorpio month promises to be TRANSFORMATIVE. More so because both rulers of Scorpio, the traditional Mars and the modern Pluto, square each other, creating a power house of heat and pressure capable of melting everything in their crucible.
If this year was compared to a volcanic activity, the first nine months, the magma was rumbling underground, the three last months are the actual eruption, burning and burying the ground for miles around. The ground is the old reality. In 2021, we will probably be mourning the loss of our old reality, some digging underneath the ‘cooling lava’ for the remains, some refusing to accept that there is no way back, that we need to reconstruct reality on new ground. Others will be happy to leave all that behind and start anew. This is a collective as well as a personal process. So, let’s brace ourselves anywhere you are in the world. There is no corner spared, this is a historical shift in Humanity's evolution.
Let’s not forget that the New Moon in Libra ruled by Venus was opposite exactly to Eris in Aries, still square Pluto. The 'eruption' is certainly culminating soon.
In this chart, Venus is now at 23º Virgo, in a tense conversation with Eris. People are ready to fight with all their might for what they value and desire. You may yourself feel a greater determination to achieve something you strongly want. As Venus trine the Capricorn stellium (group of planets together), you eagerly want something to change and for good (Pluto). This desire is serious and enduring (Saturn).
Besides, with this much ‘cardinal’ energy something will give for sure. Changes are certain and unavoidable.
This is the month when the Mercury meeting with the Sun will definitely result in a revelation that points our prow to the right direction (North Node in Gemini).
During the 'eruptive' events, would be the moment when, like Lot in the Bible story, those who look back become statues of salt. Psychology explains that people going through traumatic life events, may have two reactions, fight or flight. However, some freeze, and stay stuck in the grief, often in denial of the change. We can see examples of the three groups now anywhere you look.
You will not find the truth outside of yourself. The truth is not in the news, is not in other people’s opinions. Then, let us find sanctuary within. Let us create a holy space of introspection and reflection, so we can have a crystal-clear mind as well as an open channel of intuition. The only way to realize the truth is to be in your body, integrate, and become whole, present here, now.
May all beings be blessed and protected. May life be preserved and cherished. Much love and light to everyone.
