Scorpio, Halloween and Transformation

There is something about autumn that makes you want to understand. As leaves separate from the secure and rooted trees, I think about everything I once said that I would never do. Life has a very humorous way of thinning down the molded beliefs that we have for ourselves. So do we. Transformation is a part of life, but we need to see what is under the carpet to transform.

Each archetype in the zodiac signifies a life period. Not necessarily in a linear way, we all experience each archetype in different times of our lives.

Scorpio, who pop culture would define as intense and mysterious, coincide with the time when the ancient Gaels believed the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped, and the deceased would come back to life to cause sickness or damage crops.

Standing opposite to Taurus that relies on senses to understand life, Scorpio knows that there is more. There is more to the limiting beliefs. There is more to what is considered I. There is always a need for transformation. The necessity to understand what is hidden, dark, and taboo comes into the experience at this point. Why? Because if there is a need for transformation, it can only be possible through contacting the dark.

“How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also If I am to be whole.”

Scorpio is associated with three different animals and stages: the scorpion, the serpent, and the eagle. The scorpion is the stage of self-investigation. -What Carl Jung described as identifying the shadow. The serpent symbolizes the stage of shedding. The eagle symbolizes molting, transforming, and rebirth. The kundalini energy.

If we all look enough for darkness, we close the 8th house, rise the arrow above this time with the following archetype. Let’s talk about it next season.
