Me and my Shadow: 5 planets in Scorpio!


This week we have 5 planets packed together in one sign. Known as a "stellium" it's the Universal equivalent of a showbiz spotlight or a traffic jam, as all energy is focused in one area.

With the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter in Scorpio all month long the energies of this sign permeate everything we see, hear, taste, touch and sense. The news will be packed of Scorpionic stories as our collective and individual shadows come into play. Some examples:

Death of course - Scorpio relates to the season when the leaves fall, when thngs decay, when the summer fruits rot and things once more go back to the earth ready for their rebirth. And like zombies (a Halloween favorite) the things that are of the earth rise once more from the earth. Nothing ever really "dies" per se, it just changes form, like evaporated water becoming steam, rotting fruit being reborn as food for other planets and the seeds the genetic storehouse to prolong the species.

Phoenix stories - people coming close to the brink or things that died but came back, or people who visit Hell and back and bring wisdom to share. major chapter closures and new beginnings.

Manipulation and secrets - power plays and shady goings-on.

Stay tuned for more on this - for now, remember the Scorpio Stellium is asking for a death and rebirth in some area of your life. To experience the new, you have to Let Go of something. Call it a trade.

Is it really a case of "better the devil you know"? You'll never know if you don't embrace the change, step into the fire and see what's left at the other side.

Whether you're dreaming of death, witnessing a metamorphosis in your own life, clawing away trying to keep something that is in transition or fearing the change that is here, remember that Scorpio is, as with every other sign, a process, and an energy field, and all is is asking is that we allow ourselves to shed a skin, and allow ourselves to become that we already are, underneath.

Love,
Neil

Re your comment: "Scorpio relates to the season when the leaves fall, when thngs decay, when the summer fruits rot and things once more go back to the earth ready for their rebirth."

This is just a Northern Hemisphere perspective.....in the Southern Hemisphere, it's Spring.

The verisimilitude of your comment is thus questioned.

I'm writing it from this hemisphere hence the perspective. Thanks for the comment and input though, nice to see you stopping by.

For those wondering: The energy of Scorpio relates moreso to the idea of rebirth and the symbolism and less of the actual season itself. Scorpio is a stage off a cycle, an energy and not a physical thing.
