Observations: Scorpio’s Unwritten Contracts

© Dmitry Bairachnyi | Dreamstime.com

Unwritten contracts are the set of assumptions or expectations we bring with us into our interactions with others. All the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) are prone to hanging on their preconceived notions about how events are supposed to unfold but Pluto ruled Scorpio has the most difficulty with revising these.

There are many, many times when Scorpio’s tenacity and will power work for them and the rest of us watch with awe. The Scorpionic ability to transform their personal landscape is downright amazing. However, like many of Pluto’s [...]

Observations: Becoming a Scorpio Phoenix

Walking about taking in the incredible rich golden colors of the leaves lead me to thinking about the phoenix rising from the flames and then to that rare bird, the Scorpio Phoenix.

This is the one who has passed through some type of traumatic experience, causing them to gradually leave their old ways of thinking and being behind. This process can take many years just as Scorpio’s ruler, Pluto, takes many years to traverse a sign. It takes all of Scorpio’s considerable will power and tenacity to keep chipping away, recognizing and releasing issues and thoughts as they [...]

Transitions, Renewal and Scorpio

We are approaching the thirteenth month in the Celtic calendar, the three day period from October 31 to November 2, also known as Samhain, both the ending and beginning of their year. This is a surprisingly good fit with the Pluto ruled astrological sign of Scorpio with its emphasis on clearing away the old to make way for rebirth and renewal.

The ancient Celts lived much closer to the natural world and where they lived in the northern latitudes, the days grew shorter and nights longer very quickly as Samhain approached. As part of their preparations for surviving [...]

It’s Scorpio Season Again

Tomorrow the Sun makes its ingress into Scorpio and those of us who live in the northern latitudes are keenly aware we are transitioning from the beauties of autumn, which Libra celebrates, to the starkness of winter. Scorpio relishes the shorter days, falling leaves beginning to decay, misty mornings and the deepening quiet as the natural world prepares for winter hibernation.

This year Scorpio season starts off with Mercury, Venus and Mars in Scorpio plus a nice sextile from the Sun to Pluto, Scorpio’s ruling planet – guaranteed to make this a very Scorpio ingress. If you enjoy [...]
