Every year between 23rd October and 22nd November the Sun is moving through the sign of Scorpio. This is the time when those with Sun in Scorpio in their birth chart have their “solar return” aka their birthday.
This year it is at 12:36pm CET on 23rd October when the Sun moved from romantic, peace-loving Libra to passionate, charismatic, and secretive Scorpio. During the Scorpio season, nature undergoes visible transformation. The trees gradually lose their bright, warm autumn colors and turn brown and grey. The outside temperature drops, the air becomes more humid, and darkness expands its dominance further into our days. Autumn is here.
Scorpio is said to be the “darkest” sign and – in my experience – it provokes the most extreme reactions, people either love or hate Scorpio, nothing in between. This very much describes the main characteristic of the sign: all-or-nothing. Scorpio wants to experience life (and death) to the fullest, hoping to understand the deeper meaning of existence. This fix water sign is interested in everything which is under the surface: secrets, taboos, sex and the forbidden. It considers death as one stage of the life cycle and is rather curious than fearful about it. Superficial relationships are not for Scorpios, they want a deep, passionate relationship where there is full trust and intimacy. They possess powerful emotions but hidden beneath a seemingly detached exterior. They have enormous resilience, willpower, and the strongest survival instincts of the zodiac.
Scorpios can be excellent psychologists, researchers, engineers, private investigators, archeologists, or politicians, any job which requires them to dig deep.
At worst, their passion can turn into obsession, their need for intimacy can turn into perversion, their hunger for power and control can transform them into manipulative dictators. There are many ways to manifest the negative side of Scorpio… just like with any other sign in the zodiac. They are not good or bad, but there are constructive and destructive ways of living their specific energy in our chart. We all have all the 12 signs present in our charts, so they are part of us. Wherever you have Scorpio in your chart, the keyword is self-control and self-mastery, you need to gain wisdom to use the sign’s powerful energy in a positive, healthy way.
