Feeling a little complicated right now? A little more mysterious yet baring a few extra emotions under your new coat of aloofness?
Scorpio Season has officially slipped in through the backdoor, shuffling Libra’s season of beauty and balance.
Although the season came with the foxed nature of a good spy, it didn’t come empty-handed, bringing with it a series of adventures, depth and a desire to look to the inner shadows…
Can a flower bloom in a dark room? Scorpio season says it must.
Here’s what Scorpio season is all about:
Scorpio Season is mostly about rebirth and transformation. Although some may be tempted to step into their ‘villain eras’ during this time, Scorpio season actually asks us to flourish and rise from the waste paper bin’s crumbles of the year by looking at the parts of ourselves we hold most close and hidden.
Though Scorpios themselves are usually known for their hesitance in sharing their inner turbulence (if they ever do), it hardly means that the inner cogs aren’t turning or that they aren’t constantly self-reflecting.
Images of the tortured artist might come into your mind’s eye (in a sexy way, of course) and in many ways you’d be right. Scorpios are emotional signs under the water domain who often choose to face their battles alone.
Still, many Scorpios use this emotional energy to propel their ambitions – which is exactly the path the season puts us all on.
Scorpio embodies an energy of passion with whatever they’ve put their heart into, be that a person, sex, a dream or justice.
According to Imani Quinn, an astrology expert, the season of the sign asks us “what we need to burn to the ground in order to rise once more and enter a new chapter.”
That’s all fair and well, but how do we do this?
How to navigate Scorpio Season’s waters
Ruled by Mars and Pluto, Scorpios forever dance on the spectrum that exudes loyalty, anger, the shadow self and transition – no simple dance.
Intuition and curiosity – your guides
Curiosity and intuition often guide the Scorpio’s path and navigating this season’s moonlight requires exactly that.
Until 22 November, apply your intuition generously. Don’t let it wash over all your final decisions, but pay attention and take notes when you find yourself holding back. Remember to do a reality check when you’re feeling cautious (are you really afraid or just self-sabotaging?) and let the daring energy guide some of your bolder leaps.
Emotional check
Take the opportunity to put on the earphones to your heart and listen to what your emotions are telling you. Don’t be afraid of your darkness – rather decide on how you can transition your shadows to the light – whether that light to you is a spotlight or a soft salt rock lamp’s glow.
Pay attention
Scorpios are known for their smooth observance. You won’t know when a Scorpio is sussing you out, but it’s likely they’ve already got a patient file on you already – and you just met them.
Hence, Scorpio Season inspires us to observe a lot more. To look at the nitty-gritty details and finally sit down at the puzzles in our lives we’ve long pushed to the back of the closet. This doesn’t mean you need to become a full-blown detective on, well, you, but it does mean that you might need to do a little more work in puzzling together what you need to embrace (or shred) to grow your journey.
Emotional red flags alert
As much as emotions are powerful during this season, they can also make us feel unhinged, chaotic like an internet meme waiting to happen. When negative emotions or hyper-sensitivity sneak into your threshold, remember that their job is to reveal something you probably haven’t paid enough attention to previously. The straw that broke the camel’s back – emotions edition. Your job is to recognise their role, not to let it consume you.
Change perfumes the air
Given that we also have a lunar eclipse on the cards in early November, not to mention two powerful planets (Uranus and Saturn) will both be activated during Scorpio Season – change perfumes the air!
Rather than drowning in the change, allow it and move with it. It’s not the time for resistance but for new realms of curiosity and paying attention to where they might lead you. Daring, sexual and sometimes devious moments might wonder into your world, but look at this time as more of a sultry adventure novel where you’re the main character than a turbulent flight.
Keep your armor ready like a Scorpio, but don’t let it become your uniform. And, especially when it comes to your sex life, don’t be afraid to take the reigns on the spice of the season.
Happy Scorpio Season!
