Scorpio Lessons 🦂

Hi Lovelies,

This is the sun’s last week in Scorpio for this year. In North America, we’ll experience a new moon in Scorpio early Thursday morning. What better time for this Scorpio stellium (✋🏽) to share some loving guidance around navigating this energy?!

(First: what’s a stellium? It means, when looking at my birth chart, I have a significant number of planets in one sign. For me, I have 4 planetary bodies - Sun, Mars, Mercury, and Pluto - all in the fixed sign of Scorpio!)

In western astrology, the 8th sign of the Zodiac, Scorpio, has a traditional ruler of Mars (same as Aries), which represents quick-moving action and passion. While intense and exciting, Mars can sometimes lack care if misdirected - this is typically where the infamous Scorpio’s stinger comes in.

But Scorpio actually has 3 evolutions:

First, traditionally known Scorpion (unhealed, most toxic version)
Second, Eagle (calm, wiser version flying above drama but knows when to strike)
Third, Phoenix (reborn, most enlightened version)

More modern astrology adds Pluto as another ruler of Scorpio - representing death, transformation, rebirth, and karma - themes Scorpio is all too familiar with when they’re shedding and evolving.

Those highly familiar with this energy are MOVING their bodies. They're taking aligned actions. They transform over night. And they may be unrecognizable by the time the year is over.

Those less comfortable/ skilled with this energy may be bursting into emotional fits. They may be prone to obsessive thoughts or abusive behaviors. They may be running in circles and lashing out at those around them. They might be lying to protect their own ego. And they might try to manipulate in order to get their way. If this is resonating with you, whether it’s your behavior or someone you know, don’t panic. It’s just energy to work with and/ or work through.

With the heat from Mars, Scorpio can feel very masculine at times, but is actually a water (feminine) sign. This is part of the reason they relate so well to other people - and they can sting so fiercely.

They remember what you said and they’ve got receipts.

They intimately understand people - and their shadows - and will uncover their triggers. Sometimes to heal them and sometimes to reopen the wound.

We're very deep, intense signs. If we really love and care about someone or something, we want to see them/it through it’s fullest evolution and highest potential. When others aren’t interested in growth, Scorp gets frustrated and it can be perceived as judgment.

A lesson for Scorpio is to be less attached to the outcome of a situation. Scorpio loves so hard that when it doesn’t work out with a partner, career choice, living arrangement, friendship, etc. they can take a long time to recover.

The transformation, once they do, though, is mesmerizing.

Three additional lessons for the rest of Scorpio ♏️🦂 season:

1. If things feel like they're falling apart... let them.

You're not meant to hold everything every season. One of Scorpio's greatest gifts is the ability to be reborn many times in their lifetime. Once they finally decide to let go, they rarely look back. They mourn you while you’re already here. So when they’re done, they’re DONE.

If a part of your reality is currently crumbling, let it. Let releasing that energy make space for a new, more supportive, energy to enter with ease.

2. Ask yourself, "Is this necessary to say?"

Again, Scorpio is famous for their stinger. You might feel highly activated during this time. Are you channeling that energy in the best way possible?

Most often than not, Scorpio should act before they speak.

Meaning, you have energy that can really pack a punch. Let it out in a healthy, physical way (yoga, running, dancing, etc.) before saying something unnecessary. You may find that once you do this, the words come to you even faster and more eloquently.

This is especially true now that Mercury (planet of commerce, business, communication) is in the fiery mutable sign of Sagittarius!

Sometimes, silence is golden. A lesson from a wise Scorpio is you actually don't have to tell everyone all of your plans. You don't have to over-explain yourself, either. Sometimes all you need to do is sit back, watch, and strategize. Keep your nervous system regulated and your eyes open. Be mindful of your words because what you say can be extremely powerful.

3. Get familiar with this new version of you.

Scorpio LOOOVES solitude. Why? We're interesting AF 💅 and contain many depths beneath the surface. I always say Scorpio is like the ocean. A lot of people love to look, some people stick their toe in, a few swim for a while, but very few make it to the depths where it's completely dark. And nobody (sometimes not even Scorpio) truly knows what is at the deepest, darkest part.

Scorpio will inspire you. Scorpio will transform you. But you might never truly know Scorpio.

So, take the time to get to know this new version of yourself by getting comfortable being alone. Get comfortable with deeper feelings. And trust that even when things seem challenging, you’re evolving exactly as you’re meant to.
