We welcome in the intense and determined energy of Scorpio and say goodbye to the easy-going relationship-based energy of Libra. We have had a month of looking into and at all the relationships in our lives, and in particular a good hard look at the relationship we all have with ourselves, and we should have made some changes here where things have not felt balanced, equal or harmonious.
Giving your energy to the right people
This last month has been a good opportunity for us all to see who is in our lives and why? Are the people we associate with and give our energy to aligned with us, or are they simply habits and old contacts from the past that we have now evolved out of?
As we step into the energy of Scorpio we dive deeply into our inner worlds and all that we feel. Scorpio energy interprets everything that happens in life by how it makes you feel on a deep and emotional level. To be a Scorpio means that you cannot take things at face value or operate on a shallow or superficial level – you have to go into things, see how they make you feel, and from there make your decisions and get your answers. However, when we rely only on how things make us feel, we are not always getting the full picture or looking at such things through a realistic or practical lens.
It is very important to be super aware of all that you are feeling for the next Solar Month as what you feel will be what you base your decision making on, and so it is imperative that this is aligned with your truth and that it is for the highest good of all concerned. Too often the energy of Scorpio just wants to react and as we know, when that reaction is a negative one, then the sting of Scorpio comes out and we ALL feel it.
The energies of this October
To make this Solar Month even more challenging on that emotional level, we also have Mars sitting in Scorpio until 25 November 2023 which will only add fuel to the fire. In Astrology the two most powerful energies of determination and getting your own way are Mars in Scorpio or Mars in Aries. When Mars, the planet of drive, determination, passion and action is in either of these signs it becomes all about “me”; my needs, my beliefs, my victim mentality and my need for power.
What happens next for Scorpio?
We also have Mercury in Scorpio from 23 October until 11 November 2023 adding yet another layer of intensity to this Solar Month. Mercury, the planet of communication, does not hold back when he is in Scorpio energy – the need to be heard and empowered can mean overreactions to simple things, a belief that you are always the victim and this can also drop you actively into creating a blame game with whoever is around you at the time. You will have a need to express all that you are feeling and due to the intensity of these emotions, you may not hold back or even be interested in sugar-coating or softening your words in any way, which is not ideal. Words can be very hard to take back once they are said, so be careful and mindful of what comes out of your mouth and keep in the forefront of your mind how you wish to be spoken to and treated by others, and make this your policy towards them too.
Now its not all bad I promise you, this energy can be channelled very successfully into research, getting to the bottom of things, achieving goals and getting things done. When we put this type of forceful action into things, they can take up all our focus and energy and so we want to make sure that all of this is being put into something positive, uplifting, empowering and for the highest good of all concerned. What we don’t want to do is; get stuck in rabbit holes, become fixated and obsessed with things that can only hurt us or upset us further and/or channel our energy into things that are simply a waste of our time and energy.
At this time on the earth plane the need to be right, to be on the “right” side and to have an opinion on everything and anything is rife, and not in a good way.
The powers of Scorpio energy
The powers that be know full well that for so long as we are at each other’s throats, unable to find common ground and caught up in the blame game, we are of no threat to them or to the status quo that we are now living in. DO NOT buy into this. Instead use this powerful Scorpio energy to help you to see where you have similarities with others that can override your differences. It can also be used to get to the core of a problem and find the solution to it. But, no matter how aware you are of energy or not, you cannot help during this Solar month to feel this intense Scorpio energy pushing your buttons and triggering any old wounds you may have buried where you believe that you are the victim and that this is the fault of others.
Scorpio energy can get such a bad rap for its sting, its need for power and its gaslighting. But, lets be honest here and admit that we are all guilty of the above at some stage in our lives. What Scorpio energy can be extremely helpful for is allowing us to understand how things work, and to get to the bottom of things so that we can move forward with more knowledge, expertise and ambition. So, one of the best ways you can positively make use of this Scorpio Solar Month is to allow yourself to dive deeply into what you are trying to get going or understand on a holistic level. It can give you the passion, motivation and ability to get things done, to get on top of your challenges and to master your inner world. Allow yourself to feel whatever comes up for you this month, but don’t then take that pain and project it onto someone else. Just allow the emotion to be. When we do this such feelings can then be released to the Universe for purification and cleansing rather than just being projected on to another person.
So, put your head down and your bum up, own what is yours and see what old triggers and hurts you can put to rest by just allowing the emotion to burn itself out.
During this Solar Month the planet Saturn will move out of Retrograde motion in Pisces and start his Direct motion. This means that we are being asked to focus, discipline ourselves and take action outside of ourselves to put in place the steps, foundations and basics that we need to take our spiritual, creative or passion projects to the next level. Once he is in Direct Motion, he will be activating you to see all that happens in your life from a higher perspective, and to not react to small things that can distract you from your path and encourage you to put your focus elsewhere and scatter your energies.
What does the retrograde motion in Taurus mean for you?
Jupiter and Uranus are still in Retrograde motion in Taurus this Solar Month meaning we are all being asked to look at our inner security and our self-worth as these two things are integral to having a good opinion of yourself and being able to then manifest and create the life that you wish to have. One thing that would make a HUGE difference in the world at this time would be for both sides of every conflict currently happening, to be able to see the situation from the other side’s perspective. We cannot resolve things in our personal lives or in the world outside of ourselves if we can only see our own story and nobody else’s. No matter what goes on in your life, YOU always have a role to play in it – and yes that is even when you believe you are the innocent party. This experience would not be happening to you if you did not have something to learn from it, and so there is always a role you have to play in it too.
Chiron, the wounded healer, is also still in Retrograde motion in Aries. This transit has been really teaching us all about where we feel we are not good enough, and what triggers this. We are being given the opportunity to look at our own limitations and where we don’t believe in ourselves on a deep level so we can shift this perception to one of positivity and empowerment.
The most important cosmic occurrence of this Solar Month however, will be the Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on 28 October 2023. This is the second Eclipse is this pair of Eclipses and it will naturally align with the Full Moon. Eclipses can bring very sudden and unexpected endings and beginnings in our lives, and are pivotal for not just encouraging change, but MAKING things happen. Whether you want to let go of something, or whether you don’t, if its not meant for you and not aiding you at this time, it will be removed whether you like it or not and this will ALWAYS be for your highest good.
How does a full moon lunar eclipse in Taurus affect you?
So, buckle up buttercups this next Solar Month will be an intense one and you have been warned. There is nothing to be fearful of rather I would like you to be a lot more aware of your feelings and reactions to things and to take your time to react. Allow yourself to process what is going on BEFORE you react to it and you should find then that you can deal with challenges with a lot more ease and diplomacy, and that you can stop yourself from embracing pain and problems by simply choosing to not react or buy into anything that is not bringing positive energy into your life or having a positive impact on the lives of others.
Observe yourself and all that you are feeling, but take your time and choose to act and react wisely not emotionally or aggressively. There is so much chaos in the world around us at present and so it is our role to keep the peaceful energy going, to not add to the unrest and unhappiness by expanding on our own personal dramas and first world problems.
