On Saturday 23 rd of October 2021 at 04:51 UTC Sun entered the house of Scorpio, temple of Mars.
We have passed from a Venus ruled month, as in Sun in Libra, to now a Mars ruled period. This alone is a notable shift in energy of how we relate with ourselves and the outside world.
Venus interacts by creating harmony; Mars interacts by antagonism. Mars seeks confrontation as a means of being in this world.
In Scorpio this Mars energy comes through the water element, that is, it comes through emotions, dreams, letting oneself being permeate-able and fluid.
This water energy however is geared in going inwards and reflective enhancing more the interior experience. Scorpio is called the night-time temple of Mars.
This night-time water element moves in time with a sense of fixed purpose. Once it has found the way, it will keep flowing in that direction to amplify its effect. It doesn’t like to change course of action. Why should it if it is obtaining what it wants?
Putting it all together, Scorpio is confrontational energy through emotions that tend to be self-amplifying.
Sun in Scorpio brings our attention to our inner realm of emotions but not just any emotion. Those emotions that make Scorpio energy thrive are those feelings that create tension, because that is what Mars innate energy is. Sun entering the house of Scorpio, sheds the light on all those things in our lives that creep in the night and make the hair on our neck stand still ready to fight or flight.
Sun in Scorpio is the emergences of self through what shapes our fears and our very sense of survival as a human species in this wild world.
When the Sun, the light of our Universe, passes through the house of Scorpio, this very light is asked to confront itself with its own extinction. The Sun, by nature expansive and outgoing has to condense itself in an energy that looks introspectively at its own dark matter.
It takes courage, it takes relentless tension in facing that which instinctually would be to run away from. The Light becomes obsessive in searching that which hides in the deepest water reservoirs of the Earth, where the creatures that inhabit that landscape have never seen (or known) who the Sun is.
In medical astrology Scorpio rules the excretory systems of our body, especially the genitals and lower parts of our intestines including the anus. Basically, all that usually doesn’t see the light of the Sun and serves for our survival both as an individual and as a species. And do not only think about procreation. Remember if you do not excrete stuff out of your body, in a matter of days at most, you will die of poisoning from your own body.
Are you ready for the descent in the valley where shadows bend the light, and your only resource is how able are you to feel through darkness, to feel through your guts?
But do not stop there. The alchemy of those dark silently fierce waters, of those gut-wrenching instincts and mind crushing terrors, starts, when you manage to harness your panic and mould it into a fine light saber.
Good Luck.
Safe Journey!
