1st November 2019: Mercury retrograde, 2nd November: Venus enters Sagittarius

Hi everyone!

Deliverance!

We’re in the Scorpio cave of spiritual hibernation, the magical discovery tour that is Scorpio. The Greeks said the first rule for spirituality is ‘Know thyself’.  This is a powerful time for this discovery process.  You want success?  Start with this.

Navel gazing time:  A powerful time for spiritual reclamation!

This cave is the inner temple of our being. What better time for us to do some reclamation of our spirits, our lost fragments than Halloween, All Hallows Eve, which celebrates the harvest in the Northern Hemisphere.  It’s a time to withdraw from the activity of the outer world and ‘hibernate’ for the Winter.

In the Southern Hemisphere. we are still working with this inner exploration in the energies of the Scorpio lunar and solar month, even though the light and warmth of Spring is taking us towards Summer.

In the traditions of Halloween: 

Communication channels are now open!

We’re in the energies of Halloween, All Hallows Eve, when the traditions of the Northern Hemisphere and the impending winter months are welcomed as the harvest is celebrated.

Originating from the pagan tradition of All Hallows Eve as a celebration of the dead, pagans regarded this as a day when the thinning of the veils between the world of the living and the dead allowed communion across these worlds. 

'Hello...is there anyone there?’

With Mercury, our communication manager on the turning point for his retrograde journey, there's an enhancement of communication channels with the other side, even if everyday communication is at an all time level of gobbledygook.

30th October to 1st November:

A reboot and realignment of heart and mind...perfect timing!

Venus and Mercury at 27 degrees Scorpio
Effective from 30th October to 1st November
Exact 31st October 9.05 am AEDT

Heart and mind playing beautiful music today as Venus and Mercury meet in the sign of transformation, resurrection and rebirth. As the heart and mind speak and sing together, the emotions are released to allow love into the mental airwaves.  Aaaah...release and relief!

Interesting that this meeting occurs right on the eve of Mercury turning retrograde. We're in a particularly powerful window of mental release as Mercury sits on his station degree until 3rd November, possibly experiencing the 'addled mind' syndrome and maybe behaving like the muddle headed wombat.

Once Mercury gets on the move again in a few days, albeit retrograde, the mental makeover will continue and the mind will be offered new clarification as we tread the Scorpio grapes to create the fine wine of a refined mind.

1st November:  Mercury retrograde at 27 degrees 38 Scorpio at 2.41 am AEDT

Until 21st November

Mercury’s sitting in a layby:  hardly moving at all!

Sitting on 27 degrees from 28th October to 3rd November

28th October to 3rd November: 

Mercury 'in retrograde station...hold steady!

Mercury, our mind manager, one of the main shakers and movers, is currently sitting in a lay-by, stopping on the side of the road resting, as he sits in his retrograde 'stationing' degree at 27 degrees Scorpio.

Not a lot happening in terms of movement, transportation, commerce as it's a marking time period of a few days.

Communication channels, confused. Yes, more confused than usual, if that's possible in the current world climate of human interaction.

Turns retrograde on 1st November 2.41 am AEDT

 

Mercury in Scorpio all November, retrograde from 1st to 21st November: 

A mighty mental clearance!  

Be open, willing and adaptable!

With Mercury, our mind manager in Scorpio for all November and into December, travelling in the retrograde labyrinth to boot, the focus is very clearly on getting a mental makeover, a realignment of all the clag of conditioned beliefs, attitudes, values and memories held in our mental bodies. 

 

Into the ‘graveyard’ of the past to rediscover some old ‘ghosts’!

Scorpio rules death, rebirth and transformation so Mercury retrograde in this sign will be offering our discovery tour as the reclamation of lost fragments, dreams, people, places, experiences and memories as a way to grow ourselves into the fullness of who we are.

 

Unravelling the confusion:  How long is a piece of string?

We’re travelling in the solar and lunar energy of the sign of resurrection and deliverance.  Just a few loose ends to tidy up this month as Mercury, our mind manager leads us through the mental labyrinth of his retrograde journey. 

 

This energy will strip , cut away whatever is tripping up our thinking and blocking our access to authenticity, truth and being truly who we are without facades and mask.

 

Negotiating the Mercury retrograde energy:  A challenge to harness the lower mental energies and focus!

 

We’re fast tracking spiritually whilst our mind is ‘off line’:  Hocus, pocus, focus!

Many trip ups during Mercury retrograde periods are often due to our minds being switched off normal operating system for these weeks as we experience fast tracking spiritual growth of our mental bodies.  We get an upgrade and the more conscious we are of this process, the less stressful it may be.  No guarantees of course.

 

Our mundane everyday lives can seem out of kilter as it feels like we’re off in dreamworld, like we’ve lost our grip on being in the here and now, present to our most basic everyday tasks.

 

Mantra during Mercury retrograde: 

‘Divine mind, divine heart, divine body, divine spirit’

Because Mercury rules the nervous and respiratory systems, communication, travel and commerce, any or all of these areas may be affected while Mercury is ‘off line’.  It requires extra attentiveness on our part to stay in focus with what we are doing, saying and how we move through the world.  Not much we can do about glitches in travel, technology, appointments etc. except double check all bookings before departure.

The starting degree for Mercury retrograde:  Sets the tone and energy for the next 3 weeks...into the comfort cave!

Scorpio 28  THE KING OF THE FAIRIES APPROACHING THEIR DOMAIN

This Symbol shows the ability, or the need, to feel at ease and in charge of your home, territory or domain. You may have been searching for where you belong or where your “Domain” is. Although you may at times be off looking for this, feeling alien and alone won’t work; there's a need to feel accepted, welcomed and loved. There may be the feeling of wanting to be a dominant leader or having a doting populace. As long as egos are in control, this can be a fabulous experience of 'returning home', a nice, and calm and spiritual place to be. Also, this degree can show a world of one’s own creation or imagination – which can be fabulously rewarding although it can also be rather ungrounded in reality. Imaginary worlds. Finding a place to fit in and feel comfortable. Feeling in charge and in demand. Returning home. Taking command of your life. Fairies, nature spirits. Elves.

 

The degree when Mercury stations direct:  Retreading our steps to exit from the cave!  Full exit at 7th December...on our way again!

Scorpio 12 A BRILLIANT ASSEMBLY OF OFFICIALS AT AN OFFICIAL EMBASSY BALL

This Symbol implies the ability to mix with people from all over the world, to talk in different kinds of languages or travel in the circles of the elite. There’s probably an issue about being invited to the ‘right’ functions or that you’re sure of being on the list of those who gather to make decisions or call the shots. Enjoying social situations can be rewarding on many levels, however, the conditions may sometimes be caged in rather strict protocol and rules of behavior that you and others have to adhere to. Look at yourself and observe whether you are being your natural self or putting on a show for others. This can imply social climbing and political strategies. Political game-playing. Manners and protocol. Who knows who and what it's worth. Being able to speak everyone's language. Issues of being invited. Etiquette. Dressing up.

 

2nd  November:  

Venus enters Sagittarius at 7.24 am AEDT...uplift and expansion!

Until 26th November

Are you ready to let your heart take flight?

Our hearts are released from the deep emotional waters of the Scorpio transformation into the welcoming arms of Sagittarius where we can really find out how much we’ve learned, changed, released, renewed and transformed at a heart level. 

Hearts are fired...releasing the fears and doubts!

Every astrology sign carries its particular medicine of transformation so the process is ongoing.  However, our hearts move out of the depths of the search for intimacy within and without, from plunging deeply into the emotional waters of Scorpio and shift into the fiery energies of Sagittarius. 

Our great believer is asking us to release our ‘wild child’ from within!

Are we ready to ride the flames of higher consciousness and burn away the dross of the shadow side of Sagittarius so we can access the ‘wild child’ within.  Sagittarius is the sign of temperance, tempering the fire and water, the unevolved consciousness of the primal centaur and accessing the lighter side of truth, justice, new learning and expansion of our consciousness into new realms of existence.  Our hearts are being called to fly on the currents of warm air.

Igniting our hearts with higher consciousness and spiritual expansion:  Discovering our heart’s delight!

Are you ready to believe in your innate joy, playfulness and fun side as we accept all we are.  It’s time to fly into some new realms of adventure and discovery.  Many of us have taken a beating from others, accepted a beating from ourselves of being ‘too big for our boots’ as we sought expansion of our hopes and dreams, gifts and talents.  It’s time to let go of the excuses, the ‘sorries’, the guilt. the blame, the shame of stepping out of line and to embrace the notion that our divine heart is carrying us on, uplifting us into new realms and joy!

That’s all folks!   Hugs all around!

We have a Scorpio bear leading the way on our pilgrimage for the next stretch of this incredible year’s journey of challenge, change and opportunity.  It’s been one amazing year which has stretched many of us to the limits.

It’s not over yet.  We just need to remember our focus:

Know thyself

Accept the self, the good, bad, ugly and beautiful...know the trip wires of the psyche, the complexes

Discover your unique gifts, talents

Claim your current passion, the fire of spirit to carry you the full distance

Discover where your unique gifts are needed in the world...where there’s a missing ‘piece’

Believe in yourself and back yourself, even when you have to take a step back

There lies plenty of material there for this month of Scorpio and for Mercury retrograde in Scorpio and for Venus in Sagittarius firing up the spirit of higher consciousness in the heart.

Love and blessings to us all as we head towards the Full Moon in Taurus on 13th November when Venus goes out of bounds, bringing new consciousness to our heart energies.  We also have the 11/11 portal of change and the transit of Mercury on that day just to add to the revelatory nature of this month.  Here we go!

Divine reunion

28th October 2019: New Moon Scorpio

Hi everyone!

 

Still waters run deep...Scorpio blessings to us all!

 

Goodbye Libran lunar month!

The past Libran month has been a month of ‘triggering’ as all the personal planets have been squaring off to the karmic planetary nodes in Capricorn/Cancer as well as the Saturn/Pluto running mates in Capricorn.  It’s been a month, solar and lunar, of intense challenges, opportunities and clearances for all of us whether directly impacting us at the personal or in the global circus of power games. I can only feel that Scorpio month this year will feel like a blessed relief in many ways.

 

After the Libran month of karmic contracts coming up for ‘completion:

Now into the mopping up, repair, renewal, resurrection rebirth offered by

Scorpio’s energy.  As we clear away all that was thrown up in the past month, we come into greater clarity about what the hell happened.  Maybe you already know and understand, but if you don’t, then the regeneration and repair is on this month.

Hibernation time?  Taking time to feel our deepest emotions

We’re now in the powerful energies of the Scorpio month where we’re called into the depths of emotion, the place where so many of us avoid as it can bring forth buried emotions from turbulent times. Our world has lost touch with those deep emotions as the focus for advancement, benchmarks for success are based on mental power and intellect at the expense of emotions and feelings.

 

Make and break time:  

New creations and pathways after the endings!

Scorpio is the master transformer and this month asks nothing less of us all as we reach the bottom of the barrel to clear our minds and hearts.  It’s a powerful time of ‘make or break’ in order to ‘break and create’ something new within us.

 

It’s the healing time:

The healing energies are to the fore as the master surgeon picks up the scalpel ready to remove the psychic dead cells, dead wood from our minds,bodies, hearts and spirits.  Yes, Mars, ruler of our physical body is trailing behind Mercury, the mind manager and Venus, heart power who are forging ahead in Scorpio.

 

Nevertheless this solar month is well underway with the Sun having moved to Scorpio on 24th joining Mercury and Venus and now being boosted along with the New Moon in Scorpio opening the lunar month with a major boost, challenge, opportunity presenting at the birth of the new moon.

 

28th October:  New Moon 4 degrees 25 Scorpio at 2.38 pm AEDT

 ...it’s violet flame time!

New Moon, a new start and focus:  Here comes the Scorpio transformation!

This is the time for us to really clear the dead wood out of our lives, our hearts, minds, bodies, spirits and memory banks.  The Violet flame of freedom is an esoteric energy which burns away old dross and transforms us at all levels of our being.  It’s time for ‘the big guns’ or rather the powerful healing power of Scorpio.

Scorpio is the surgeon:  This month we take the scalpel and our power!

Let’s not forget Scorpio rules ‘surgery’ and I include psychic surgery in her brief. She holds the ‘scalpel’ which cuts out the ‘diseased’ cells of the spirit as well as the body.  This month we become the surgeon of our own lives.

Into the Scorpio ‘graveyard’:  

Clearing the inner ‘trip wires’!

We’re cutting free of all the trip wires that have been keeping us from accessing some deep fulfilment and growth.  Scorpio takes us to the ‘graveyard’ of past dreams and clears away disappointment, grief and loss so we can re-emerge in a whole new form.

Mercury in Scorpio all November, retrograde from 1st to 21st November: 

A mighty mental clearance!  Be open, willing and adaptable!

With Mercury, our mind manager in Scorpio for all November and into December, travelling in the retrograde labyrinth to boot, the focus is very clearly on getting a mental makeover, a realignment of all the clag of conditioned beliefs, attitudes, values and memories held in our mental bodies.  

This energy will strip , cut away whatever is tripping up our thinking and blocking our access to authenticity, truth and being truly who we are without facades and mask. We take ourselves off the cross of old religious beliefs that the way to heaven is through pain, suffering and martyrdom.  We’re changing the paradigm for resurrection. We open to joy and love.

Scorpio unplugged:  Out of the rabbit hole!

As we clear our entrenched energies we get in touch with the ‘good stuff’ of Scorpio

...our deep desires!

Scorpio is the sign of deep transformation, alchemical changes and transmutation offering the spiritual healing and psychic clearance of our beings, our bodies so we can be reborn in a new form.  It’s been and still is a long term process but Scorpio is ‘the big gun’ in terms of ‘housecleaning, clearing and renewal’!

Time to release the attachment to old identities, our history:

We don’t forget our past but when we totally release attachment to the past, we can live in the present and gain perception of future possibilities.  

Desire, intimacy and the joy of spiritual connection:

This New Moon offers a reconnection to our deep desires, accepting what brings us back to life after the deep letting go of Scorpio’s energies. 

Planetary energies at the New Moon:

Sun and Moon working together birthing a new moon:  Opposite Uranus!

Sun and Moon in a cosmic reboot at 4 degrees Scorpio and to make sure we get the message of transformation, Uranus is directly opposite at 4 degrees Taurus

Uranus ‘strike a light’ playing a key role at the new moon:  New ideas coming in this month!

Uranus sets the tone for the next lunar month....surprises, sudden shifts and turns!  More than likely with Mercury in Scorpio giving our minds, mental energy big changes in thinking along with new ideas so chances are we’ll be presented with some completely new ideas and possibilities from the ‘leading edge thinking box’ of Uranus, the planet of innovation.

Ongoing challenges to the status quo:  

Traditions both personally and globally will be challenged!

That good old duo of Saturn/15 degrees and Pluto/20 degrees  in Capricorn is squaring off to Mars in Libra at 15 degrees Libra

Mars still travelling in the mid degrees of Libra has a few weeks to go before he gets into Scorpio mid November. We’re still doing some balancing acts with our physical constitution and our masculine fire power which could be feeling a little constrained by the Libran demand for peace and harmony. Mars is the last of the ‘personal’ planets to go through Libra, following Mercury and Venus. 

He rules the physical body and at this New Moon is the final personal ‘triggering’ of the Saturn/Pluto combo in Capricorn.  After he moves on through Libra, we may be likely to feel some relief from the physical challenges in the body, specifically, joints, knees, skeleton.

Plenty happening before the end of this calendar year:  

Mars is our ‘action man’ and he’s getting prepared to take a big leap forward!

Take heart my friends that it’s not all a bad trip for Mars as he once ruled Scorpio, before Pluto was discovered so in some sense can find a ready place for his energies, perhaps volcanic when he goes into Scorpio.  I’m giving this longer term picture so that we don’t get ahead of ourselves...as if we could lol!  Timing is imperative and astrology is a construct that gives some guidance as to energetic forces to support us.

Remember, Mars is our fire and drive, our masculine energy and ruler of our physical body, so the physical rebalancing of our bodies and release of old masculine benchmarks, inequities will continue releasing from us so we can be fully fired up when he hits crusading Sagittarius on 3rd January.

Note:  My chosen image shows no crescent moon but a brilliant sky of stars, planets and the cosmos

At the New Moon, there is no moon appearing in the sky.  Although the Crescent Moon is the symbol depicting the new moon in Astronomy and Astrology, the crescent moon doesn’t appear until a couple of days after the New Moon. 

Sabian Symbols for the New Moon in Scorpio :  From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com

Scorpio 5

A MASSIVE, ROCKY SHORE RESISTS THE POUNDING OF THE SEA

This Symbol often implies a relentless resistance to change, along with a strong and abiding endurance and ability to stay with things for a long time. It can show feelings of being under emotional assault, like life is wearing you out or grinding you down. Perhaps the same old conversations, problems, issues, keep coming up. Have faith in the fact that you are strong enough to resist and maintain – like the “Massive” shoreline, you have the ability to resist things that test or “Pound” you. The question is: How long can you hold out, especially if it's been going on for so long? Employ love and compassion, along with knowing when to allow change to happen and when to let go if things are no longer working. Unchanging reality. The establishment. Being strong under assault. Feeling battered and bruised. Chinese water torture. Evolution. Endurance. Strength. Having strong muscles.

Upcoming Dates:

1st November:  Mercury retrograde at 27 degrees 38 Scorpio

2nd  November:  Venus enters Sagittarius

That’s all folks!  Hugs all around!  Here we all are safe in the Scorpio cave of togetherness!

It may be Scorpio month but it seems that many of us will be quite happy hanging together with some warm fuzzy bears rather than diving into the waters of the caverns of the soul.  We’ll be doing both this month but can take comfort from other cave dwellers as we connect across the distances of cultures, nations, belief systems in the united belief in one earth, one humanity, one clan!

So take comfort this month when and if you can find a comfort spot.  Not easy if you’re living in a war zone, imprisoned physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually.  For those of us who have the comfort of a safe haven away from the dangers of war, trauma, abuse or attack, let’s hold that energy for our sisters and brothers across the world, at home and elsewhere. 

A big breakthrough month

...gently letting go of old resistances

We’re going to have a very big breakthrough this month, like it or not, as we release those mindsets, timelines and past traumas so we can be ready to be activated in new directions and consciousness come Sagittarius time in late November.  It’s all happening and the new timelines will be unfolding this month as Mercury enacts his speciality of mind changing, mind bending release and renewal.

Love and blessings to us all as we surrender our small mind control in the Scorpio energies, practise floating, treading water, allowing the waters of change and transformation to wash over us and carry us forward in divine alignment with higher consciousness. I’m still trailing with delivery of updates before events but like many of you I’m dealing with the physical transformation through the spiritual healing.  It’s a path of ups and downs and honouring our process. Trust we’ll all be soon feeling a lot lighter as Scorpio brings a whole new understanding to comfort and salving of the constitution and spirit.

No need to panic, no matter what happens as the trip wires are being cleared if we can but allow this process without judgement, criticism or blame for ourselves or others.  The focus is divine love, divine reunion with ourselves and our unique hallmark this lifetime.  All false fronts and defensiveness must and will go. Accepting the beauty of vulnerability is our password this month.

Divine reunion

24th October 2019: Sun enters Scorpio

Hi everyone!

Emerging from the last light of the solar month of Libra, it all may feel like we’re still travelling in some confusion after the release valve was pulled on the emotions at the Aries Full Moon.

 

Mopping up after the Aries Full Moon revelations:  Integrating!

We’re certainly in the mopping up stages of the Libran month which offers the rebalancing and equity we need to come to peace and harmony.  The Libran energies often cause more disruption in relationships and in society as the push to be valued, loved and acknowledged is strong and urgent. 

 

Revelations may have been painful:  A necessary heart opening for growth!

The Aries Full Moon had quite a sting in the tail with Mercury and Venus both in Scorpio, bringing up deep long held emotions from the memory banks, activated by the Aries rocket fire.  Communication may have been explosive with heart felt words expressed and experienced.  We need to trust that whatever emotions were released was necessary as soul contracts kicked in and kicked up a storm for our learning and growth.

 

It’s been a month of protest and challenge in the public sphere:  Personal review and reclamation has mirrored public calls for justice and equity!

The protest energies ramped up in the public sphere and may well have done in the private sphere as old energies were cleared from our beings and our lives. 

With Jupiter in flow with that full moon, chances are new consciousness arrived and brought in the offer of an upgrade.  We may be still making sense of the new information that emerged at that time. If it’s been painful, the Scorpio psychic surgeon will be assisting us to uncover the truth of our experiences.  More understanding ahead.

 

What’s been happening in the solar month of Libra:  The 'accountant is in'!  

The reconciliation...coming to resolution with ‘terms and conditions’! 

Partnerships:  Balancing the books, the accounts, the contracts, the agreements, coming to agreements...or not.

The solar month of Libra, the time when any 'partnership' issues are ironed out, cleared out. cleared out. Well, that's the opportunity. That's the premise of Libran month when we can negotiate, re-negotiate, renew and/or complete contracts, including sacred contracts.

What sacred contracts have kicked in this past month?Sacred contacts are made at soul level with everyone within our immediate circle, family, close connections with everyone we meet this lifetime. We come together to sort through our problems, issues, complexes, neuroses, unresolved memories so when triggers kick in the old wounds, we now that the contract is 'in play'.

We're working together to clear any old memories, issues, spiritual wounds and to reconnect through love. Sometimes it means we've completed our work together this lifetime. Sometimes we clear the memories and move back into loving connection. Libra is always an interesting time to say the least.

We’re still in the lunar month of Libra until the New Moon in Scorpio activates on 28th October. Ongoing resolution.

To know more about soul contracts:  ‘Sacred Contracts’ Carolyn Myss

 

 

24th October:  Sun enters Scorpio at 4.20 am AEDT

Resurrection!  Enter the sacred cave!

Until 23rd November

Time to go deep...get the spiritual magnifying glass!

As we enter the solar month of Scorpio we’re invited to explore the depths of our emotions and clear out all those buried emotions that do not serve our pathway forward.  We’ve got plenty of material which surfaced during the month of Libra and which will give our forensic Scorpio investigator something to explore. 

Going deep into the inner cave of discovery:  

It’s a gold   mine!

It’s a soul searching time which many of us resist as we are so activated to be busy and physically active in the world. The solar power has been running our lives for so long, it’s an adjustment to connect to the inner life, the darkness where we grow spiritually.  It takes time and discipline.  Scorpio asks for nothing less.  It’s do and ‘die’.

 

Growth:  The cycle of living, dying, being reborn...every day!

To live in the fullness of life, we need to ‘die’ every day to those voices and feelings which hold our spirit in check.  Life is all about letting go, dying to the old and being reborn to the new. 

 

Without ‘newness’, we become bored, listless, disinterested, depressed and stuck in the darkness of despair.  It’s our choice to strip away the old to be born anew as we discover, uncover the truth.

 

Sub personalities, past lives revelation, reclamation and release:

Regeneration, transmutation and renewal!

All those old masks of personality attachment, old identities to which we are attached which are holding us back from growth and expansion are up for clearance as Scorpio is relentless in taking us through the discovery process.  

These aspects may be buried so deeply in us that we are unaware of their existence until something triggers their release. 

 

Scorpio rebirth

We rise as the phoenix!

Feel, acknowledge, accept all that we are: 

We feel an emotion, get a new thought or insight and wonder at ourselves and who we are.  Once we acknowledge these aspects, we start to become whole, to be all we are without shame, blame, guilt or despair because ‘perfection’ is a construct that in our interpretation can undermine who we are.  We seek to purify and choose love at the same time accepting that ‘perfection’ is attaining a state of spiritual mastery, owning all we are, accepting all in the light of divine love.

 

Life on planet earth:  It’s not a Coca Cola ad! 

It’s the balance of day and night, outer and inner, active and passive

Scorpio takes us into the darkness of our soul, our psyche, our heart and asks for nothing less than full blown facing the demons within, owning all that we are and working with those energies.  Life is a composite of dark and light, agony and ecstasy.  When we avoid the agony, we deny the ecstasy and vice versa.

The ‘language’ of spirit:  Symbols!  

Venus and Mercury still in Scorpio offer messages from the heart and mind, symbolically!

Beyond words we find the symbols that cross all spoken languages...music, art, nature, the environment...everywhere!

With Mercury and Venus, mind and heart energy both still in Scorpio, we are given the green light on uncovering the mental and/or emotional blocks which keep us from the full transformational experience of Scorpio.  

We’ve been working with these energies for a few weeks now and Mercury is in Scorpio for quite a few more weeks as he starts his retrograde journey on 1st November, Halloween for Northern Hemisphere. Communication channels are wide open if we’re ready to observe, reflect and hear what the universe is presenting to us.

Scorpio rules:

Big money, money from sources other than income such as taxes, insurance  as well as partnership finances, sexuality and intimacy.  So any of these areas come into the spotlight for the next month.  With Mercury, ruler of commerce in Scorpio, there’s an extra spotlight in this area.

Last month, the day when Pluto(big money) stationed direct in Capricorn (organisations, business, government) and Mercury (commerce) moved into Scorpio(big money)  the stockmarket crashed.  We can’t always predict these events as not entirely accurate but I thought it was interesting.  That day, things were shifting with the planetary line up relevant to the stockmarket and commerce, big money.  I didn’t check the day it happened in August.  Just keep an eye on these financial shifts this month.  More on this with the next update on Mercury turning retrograde.

Medical Astrology:

Scorpio rules sexual organs and genitals as well as to some extent organs of elimination

Becoming adept at the process of self inquiry and symbolic insight is a vital spiritual task that leads to the growth of faith in oneself.

That’s all folks!  Hugs all around!

Here we all are, peace doves flying so fast spiritually, even if we feel nothing’s happening in our lives, we’re all still travelling together esoterically, one heart, mind and spirit.  If we haven’t gained the understanding of this past solar month of Libra and the activation and resolution of karmic contracts, then trust that the New Moon in Scorpio coming on 28th will start the process of bringing clarity.  Will probably take the best part of the month of November with Mercury retrograde in Scorpio giving us some backtracking, big clearance and mental makeover.

Fortunately Venus will be moving into Sagittarius early November which will bring some heart expanding consciousness, understanding and learning ‘what’s it all about’.  I can only trust that the Scorpio energy will clear the decks for a lot of us after this challenging month of Libra when equity, justice, love and harmony seemed to be often out of reach.  Much resolution has been occurring so trust, accept and surrender to divine power, strength, love, freedom and abundance.   

Love and blessings to us all as we reclaim our unique selves, our unique signature and our unique mission as we strip down to our essence.  We are brave beyond measure as we explore these dark passages of the Scorpio mine, knowing full well that our personal treasure is unfolding.
