SCORPIO

Prepare to rise

There’s a reason and a season

Happy solar return, Scorpio!

New cycle – new you, Scorpio! Your birthday season always offers up a re-birth. And the good news is that both of your rulers add their support this year. You begin your fresh cycle with old ruler Mars in residence. While modern ruler Pluto heads direct again in Aquarius and your 4^th from the 14^th.

Power ahead with kick-starting changes as early as the 6^th with Mercury’s arrival in your 6^th. Yes, it will enter pre-shadow in your 1^st from the 21^st. But the upcoming retrograde will offer resets and even more opportunities for breakthroughs and reinvention!

First, there’s a resurrection point and then a release at the very start of the month. Allow the first three days of October for rest, reflection and release. Mercury’s clash with Jupiter in your 9^th house (1^st), and its subsequent opposition to Chiron in your 6^th (3^rd), can highlight where you may have given too much to others. And also areas where what you have to do is clashing with what you want to be doing. Don’t worry too much about finding a solution right away. That will come organically with the meeting between Mercury and Mars in your sign on the 20^th. For now, your best option may simply be withdrawal for a while, a recharge and to look at the facts behind just how long this has been going on. Chances are longer than you first thought, Scorpio.

The first week of October also sees Venus in your 11^th house oppose the True Node in Pisces and your 5^th. This brings you fated encounters or you finding yourself at a karmic intersection when it comes to lovers, children, goals, friendships and creativity. What brings you happiness and joy. Fate can literally ‘throw’ people into your path now. Or you may come to the point where you understand that this is the point where your paths diverge and destiny has run its course. The very cyclic nature of the planets and especially the Nodes tell you that every ending is always a new beginning. And if you let go of something, this is simply to make room for something else.

The pursuit of our goals is simply one way we live out our destinies. So, this is also a fated moment to set new ones. Or simply reaffirm what makes life worth living for you. The karmic take-out from this is that you can’t hurry love. Everything happens with divine timing. Now you know that, stop trying to ‘make’ things happen or push. You can relax instead.

This month’s full moon (7^th) is a Supermoon. It appears in Aries and your 6^th. And it has two names – it is both the Harvest moon and the Hunter’s moon. Something may be highlighted that has become too restrictive for you. This is due to Mercury now in your sign making a tense angle to ruler Pluto in your 4^th the same day. Do address any issues around this head-on, Scorpio. Especially if you know deep down you have been put under pressure to take on more than your fair share.

DO ditch the distractions and DON’T scatter your focus as Neptune returns to Pisces and your 5^th for one final visit this lifetime (22^nd). In your house of love, romance and attraction, this can be about too much as well as not enough. And in the case of the former, you can end up with nothing or else not what you really wanted. In fact, one of the biggest cosmic jokes the universe can play is to deliver what we think we want. And then sit back and have a good laugh at our expense when we discover it’s not what we wanted after all. Neptune in your 5^th can embody the card of the Seven of Cups in the Tarot. Too many choices and/or nebulous ones. All, some or none of which may actually manifest or be what we think. Most likely from our own inability to focus or see them for what they are.

The other option is trying too hard to ‘have it all’. We cannot do that. And we may find our manifesting magic gets weaker if we try. So, do hone that focus and also think about how your choices impact on you and others over the longer term should you attain them. And in love or any kind of union – does this connection make you want to be the best version of you that you can be? Or do you suddenly realise you don’t recognise yourself? And not in a good way. Your new cycle is all about the new you. But this needs to be the improved version! And if anyone doesn’t inspire or bring that out in you – you need to pay close attention. Especially mid-month when Venus enters Libra and your 12^th.

A little distance gains you insight, inspiration and yes, perspective when it comes to those choices you need to make ahead of what lies ahead. And the Grand Air Trine/Kite/Mystic Rectangle aspects which intertwine with emboldened Pluto and turn-it-on-its-head Uranus in your change sector, see you able to discriminate between what’s worth keeping – and what needs to be let go of. As yes, you will not shy away from what you need to release with the Mercury/Mars meeting in your sign on the 20^th. Leaving you with a sense of fresh internal integration when it comes to what feels timely and right to do this with the new Moon in your 12^th on the 21^st.

Go forward baggage-free with the Sun’s arrival in your sign (23^rd). You’re all about stating your desires and expectations as the wheel of the year now turns in your favour. And you’ve a very clear idea of what that involves. There’s no shyness about how you express this. And yes, this is one of the points of the year where you may look to adjusting that image. Anything from a tweakment to a change of do or style makeover. The outer package needs to reflect the inner contents!

Mercury will be returning to your sign during its intense retrograde next month. Which also coincides with Uranus’ re-entry into Taurus. This is one more reason for you to get very focussed on what truly matters to you. Or to concentrate your superpowers on strategic and soul supporting long term plans. Growth and new beginnings require change and the capacity to radiate. That’s what the Sun’s energy hands you plus a big confidence boost from Mars. Wicked cool decisions bring you recognition and also attention as October transitions into November.

Halloween week delivers a Grand Water Trine formed by ruler Mars, Saturn in your 5^th and Jupiter in your 9^th. Go flow in the right direction and what’s more – those big picture goals align not only with your destiny – but your authentic, reawakened sense of self. Promising opportunities and expansion. While Mercury’s arrival in Sagittarius and your 2^nd of money, possessions and self-worth, offers breakthroughs not just around money and income, but in the dynamics which define your relationships with others.

It’s a bold new beginning and its momentum carries you forward into November. With opportunities to revise or adjust those goals as you go. But take it that this month allows you to shed the old and step into your full power. Yes, the phoenix within you rises once more. And the more you embrace the process – the more you glow.

In a nutshell: Get ready to glow with the start of your new cycle this month. You’ll begin it with a sense of divine timing. And know everything happens when that’s right. Plus you get to go forward without carrying that baggage. When we lighten the load – we rise!
