Autumn into Winter
Yellowing gold into Dark red blaze
Fire Season Burning
Rememberance
Leaves fall
Trees stand tall
Bare naked clarity
Face the truth
Learn the lessons
Mulch the goodness down down down
and In
Here at the meeting point
The past feeds what is to come
Scorpio season of transformation transmutation change
Death feeds New life
With this rainiest of times
The seed that has been set swells
In the watery crucible of the Earth’s womb
Darkness settles
there will be no more than 10 hours of daylight at this latitude
now, until valentines day
time to make peace with the past.
Scorpion, Eagle, Phoenix
Scorpion belly to the earth reactive & protective
Eagle soars above, gaining greater perspective,
Phoenix rises from the ashes of the old
Time of fire & flame
And the autumn weather/ diminishing light turns the
Leaves to flame
They burn away
Leaving the trees naked
Left to face
The unfiltered truths we normally tuck out of sight
Flickering in the lamp and fire light
Draw in
Time of ancestors
Not just the 7 human generations but also the plants and animals
Me tired
With a deep pain in my heart
our place in lineage is revealed
And make our peace with the ancestors
Acknowledge, Understand and Forgiving
Samhain,
In Scorpios watery depths
the time of the ancestors,
the time of the wild hunt.
Red blood
darkness
death
the end of the fall months
and transition into winter darkness
with the cold fast on its heels
We leave behind the balanced scales and risk the sting of the scorpion.
Scorpio is often mistaken for a fire sign. In fact, Scorpio is a water sign that derives its strength from the psychic, emotional realm.
Like fellow water signs, Cancer and Pisces, Scorpio is extremely clairvoyant and intuitive.
As a fixed water sign, Scorpio penetrates the darkness in search of emotional power and the mysteries of life and death.
Deep,emotional, compassionate, honest, serious, intense, loyal, action-oriented, power-seeking
Determined, loyal, stoic
Like their celestial spirit animal, the scorpion, Scorpios lie in wait and strike when least expected. Life is a game of chess for these calculating water signs, who are constantly plotting several steps ahead in order to orchestrate an eventual checkmate. This doesn’t mean their intentions are necessarily nefarious. Scorpios simply know what they want and aren’t afraid to work hard and play the long game to get it.
Discrete, Secretive
They never show their cards and their enigmatic nature is what makes them so seductive and beguiling.
The Scorpio glyph looks like an M with arrow-shaped tail, like its ancient ruler Mars and represents the Kundalini serpent energy, (as already seen in the Virgo glyph). In Virgo, the energy is turned inwards and self-contained, but in Scorpio it bursts outwards and upwards.
Scorpio is a feminine sign and ruled by Mars and Pluto.
Pluto, the planet that governs both destruction and transformation. Creative & destructive
The old is mulched and transformed into the mud where the lotus of wisdom grows.
Passion & power – ambitious jealous & resentful
Serpent energy is the life force and can be creative or destructive depending on how it’s used. This depends on the level of awareness and self-mastery, so it can indicate wisdom and spiritual awakening, but also the lower instincts of lust, passion, and power. These levels of energy are shown in the dual symbolism of Scorpio and the two creatures that represent the sign: the scorpion and the eagle.
Scorpios are passionate and assertive people with determination and focus you rarely see in other zodiac signs.
They will turn to in-depth research to reach the truth behind anything they find important.
Great leaders and guides, Scorpios are resourceful, dedicated and fearless when there is challenge to be overcome.
They will hold on to other people’s secrets, even when they aren’t very fond of them to begin with
and do anything they can for those they tie themselves to.
According to the Greeks, the Scorpio constellation is the scorpion responsible for killing Orion, the great hunter. There are multiple versions of the story but they all come down to Orion getting too big for his boots and annoying various goddesses with his boasting and arrogance.
In one tale, Gaia discovered Orion was planning to kill her beloved animals so she sent the scorpion to attack him. In another, Orion upsets Artemis so she either kills him with an arrow or sets the scorpion on him. Whatever happened, Orion brought it on himself.
In the northern hemisphere, this time of year is associated with death and descent into the underworld. But Scorpio is also associated with renewal and regeneration through the symbolism of snakes and serpents, as well as the phoenix, the mythical bird consumed by fire and reborn from its own ashes. This is a complex sign with rich and fertile symbolism. The transformative power of the ancient mother goddesses is often represented as a dragon or World Serpent. Serpents and dragons represent the forces of the unconscious and the archetype of the Terrible Mother. They stand for instincts, chaos and the destructive power of nature. In eastern mythology dragons are seen as more positive figures, but in the west, we tend to kill them,
like we have to conquer all nature and stay forever young, can’t deal with death or see the regenerative cyclical way of things
Zodiac Myths: The Story Behind Scorpio – Jessica Davidson
If Libra season was like a charming brunch with well-mannered guests, Scorpio season’s more like a murder-mystery dinner party: all about getting down and dirty in other people’s business, about probing the depths of humanity.
The scorpion is the most menacing of the astrological glyphs, and in ancient astrology, Scorpio was often associated with outright evil. But don’t be scared. There’s way more to the Scorpio story than that.
The primary Scorpio characteristics are passion, perceptiveness, and unstoppable determination.
Scorpio has two ruling planets: Mars, the planet of action, aggression, and desire; and Pluto, the planet of transformation, rebirth, and our subconscious forces.
These planets lend the sign its aura of power.
Scorpio energy is certainly intense and powerful, but it isn’t loud or in your face, but nobody could mistake Scorpio’s quiet confidence for meekness, rather, it has a deep, thrumming core of determination. Scorpio has a laser-sharp focus, a powerful drive, and a strong desire to probe and get to the bottom of things.
Scorpio is not, as they assume, a bold fire sign, but rather a water sign, which is typically perceptive, intuitive, and emotional. Scorpio is about depth, not appearances. Scorpio isn’t afraid of anything, even the darkest truths.
More than anything else, you should expect this to be a season of intensity.
This season offers all of us a much-needed chance to look beneath the surface and acknowledge our own (and each other’s) complexities, shadows, and depths and makes it harder to look away from the sadness, cruelty, and injustice that has been lurking beneath the surface all along.
At its best, Scorpio season can lend you an energy of fearlessness: a refusal to be intimidated by anyone or anything, or to accept answers that are easy but untrue. You can use this energy to ask provocative questions, refuse to settle for easy answers, disrupt your own and other people’s social comfort. Scorpio season is the best astrological backdrop you could ask for if you want to go to be bold and uncompromising, or uncover secrets.
This might mean that you’re not able or inclined to let things go (Scorpio is famous for its ability to hold grudges). It might mean that you’re quicker to jealousy or suspicion. If you aren’t careful, it’s easy to get caught up in mind games and power struggles.
all this intensity may or may not sound fun, but either way it can be tremendously rewarding and freeing, if you let it.
Scorpio season might ask you to refuse to settle for less than what you really desire
— and to figure out what that actually is.
If you’re typically focused on comfort, or on harmony, or on success and prestige, this season can offer an invitation to rethink this, to put all that aside.
What is it you really desire?
What is it you really need?
I did have an inkling when talking about mum and in said I about actually the fairness of some financial inheritance
Actually in the end there would be some fairness in inheriting a pension amount
And to think that I would be financially self sustaining that my retirement would be taken care of
