Spilling Secrets on Scorpios
Happy Samhain bbs!
This beautiful time of reverence is the pagan predecessor to Halloween. On Samhain, we are to honor the dead, honor our ancestors, and honor the Earthen cycles of death and rebirth and death and rebirth and death and rebirth forever and ever (or til the end of the end) amen
What a Scorpio ass holiday, no?
We're celebrating dormancy, the act of going within, the power of decay
Honestly, it sounds like an ideal time for psilocybin to meeeee
Personally, I will be lighting candles, cooking up a harvest meal, chilling with my altar, communing with my familiar, avoiding children, just witchy things
And in honor of the spooky season, i'm here to reveal some secret shit about Scorpios heh heh
but FIRST! An announcement:
After many months of rest and study, I'm officially opening into a tenth house endeavor, a deliberate delve into astro consultation, or should I say WE are officially opening into this endeavor
my sister, Erica Joy, and I are doing Cosmic Healing together!
I'm ready, excited(!) to blossom into A Reader.
So if you'd like to see what we've got going on over here, you can check it out AT
YES, we are in FACT on tumblr dot com. I pushed for it so hard, my GenZ sista was reluctant, but it is truly the vibe, I fear.
We're looking for quality communityyyyy, something stable and sustainable, something a lil hidden away, but still able to be stumbled upon if the universe asks for it. That feels Tumblr-y to me. The site still holds such a warm place in my heart that none of these other socials do. (Plus, mf is FREE lmao)
So I got hella types of sessions over there, and I would appreciate so MUCH to be trusted with the honor of interpreting your natal promise :')
So now let's talk Scorpios
Scorpio is the sign of fixed water—think: ice, cenotes, plunge pools, hot tubs
The sun moved into Scorpio on October 23rd this year.
Astro purists will continue to try and tell you that cusps aren't real, but the days leading up to this Scorpio season were a perfect example as to why that's bullshit. Oftentimes the energy of the upcoming season hearkens before the sun makes its way there. Sometimes that's because many other planets have gathered in the next sign before the Sun makes it fashionably late to the party. This time around, that pre-season energy took the form of a Mars - Pluto square.
Mars and Pluto rule the sign of Scorpio, meaning that their energies and properties deeply relate to, and even influence, the sign. It also means that when these planets are situated in Scorpio, they're very much at home. Pluto is happy sitting in deep, watery depths. Mars gets eager to do its dirty work under the cover of Scorpio's night.
A square is a relationship between planets. An aspect. Indicating a 90 degree angle, a tight angle. A square—you get it. Squares bring about growth. They make it abundantly clear what we fuck with and what we do NOT fuck with. A square indicates tension at play.
On the other side of a squared aspect, we find ourselves shaking free of this tension. There's a release of pressure. There might be increased agency to move forward on That With Which We Fuck, and options for transformation might come about. If that happened for you in this first week of Scorpio season, take hold of and enjoy them, if you can! Because on the 30th, Mars joins the sun in Scorpio for the rest of the season and onwards through til December 13th (which will be such a hectic day in the sky omg just wait), so we'll have to do our best to get comfy in the Underworld Energy. It'll be easier if you've got your hands firmly on the reins of something that matters to you, or else Mars will happily take you for a ride.
If you're a Scorpio, or if you know any Scorpio people well,
and "Scorpio people" are potentially Scorpio suns, but you may have others in your life with HEAVY Scorpio influence in their natal chart that YOU don't even know about, that THEY might not even know about 😮 Scorpio be sneaky!
but if you do know someone with all sorts of Scorpio in their being—and EYE have known many—you know that they have some relationship to tension. They may not like it, per se; some Scorpios don't seem to like liking things at all. They can just be oddly comfortable in tenuous situations. Perhaps it's that they won't do much to ease the tension and that makes one wonder if they enjoy sitting in it, or else why won't they just do something, anything, to relieve themselves (or all involved). Scorpio much prefers to sit quietly—or loudly, if they have hella Sag placements too—in discomfort than to have someone point out that they're obviously uncomfortable. That's where the broody stereotype shows up. Scorpio, for the most part, prefers to be left alone, given that there's so much in its own depths to explore. Whatever way they relate to the phenomenon—Scorpios and Tension have a dynamic.
Scorpios, like all fixed signs, have a thing about willpower. Scorpio tends to keep things locked tight, tucked away inside, and find pleasure in not sharing what's in there. Silences, in all their many forms: abstentions, ghosting, vows of silence, meditative silence: all Scorpio territory. But it's still a water sign; and water is wont to leak, to seep. Ice melts. Hot tubs have to be, like, aggressively maintained, or else they become toxic. And even if a scorpio placement does somehow manage to keep it alllll stuck inside, denying themself what they always, always, secretly crave: that sweet, vulnerable release of the emotions and traumas and desires trapped within them—even IF they're oh so (detrimentally) determined to do so, more likely than not, the placement will progress into Sagittarius, and that shit will scorch (and either find a fun, but potentially inappropriate, outlet to burn it off, or further detach and intellectualize/dogmatize it—it's not the end of the world, despite how it may feel for the lil Scorpy)
And though there's some shade in that, we all have Scorpio in our selves. Even if it's not a major planet placement, Scorpio reigns over one of 12 houses in our natal chart, and Scorpio season still comes every mf year. There's something for us all to learn here.
Tension IS dynamic, after all. Scorpio is about transformation, giving us insight into what scares us, yes, but also what incites us. That's the Mars in it all. It muddles attraction and repulsion, and is viscerally aware of the power in energy exchange. That's the Pluto in it all. Scorpio is the quiet, secretive, deeply personal drive that we keep to ourselves except under VERY specific circumstances. And those circumstances are just as deeply personal as the drive itself. What we choose to hide is of the utmost importance. Scorpio is what awaits us in the shadows.
But there's a choice here, when it comes to our shadow: cower from it, drown in it, or shine a spotlight on it and share in a dance. If you're interested in number three, I can certainly help. Taking a look at certain houses, planets, and points in the chart, I can delineate themes, topics, and triggers that fall under the shadow, and help you to understand and integrate them in a healthy way. For it's not going anywhere, darling, no matter how much you may want it to—every part of you forever lives with and in you. Scorpio, eventually, knows that better than most.
Well, I could go on and on, but I'll take a lesson from the season, and leave something to be desired. Thanks for reading!
