Mars enters Scorpio transit
growth as we dive into the deep end. "why am I like this?" with a flashlight and compassion
friends and readers,
today i want to talk about Mars and it’s recent entrance into Scorpio, where it will stay until late November.
firstly, the way to practically work with this at times intense energy; is to balance the intensity with the basics.
for example, you had a long day and got really triggered at work. you go for a walk later that afternoon. how does it feel in your body; to have the warm sun on your face? to see the birds soaring gracefully in the sky? to smell the flowers? or to get home and eat your favorite comfort food? or wrap up with your soft fuzzy blanket? to feel your partner’s arms around you? to slow things down and really sense and savor how these little pleasurable moments feel in your body.
the basics and the practicalities of day to day reality; to prioritize your own values and needs, while simultaneously consciously bringing more experiences of tangible ease into your body is supportive at this time.
Mars in Scorpio has the intention to merge, as well as to bring unknown matters to the surface within us in order to grow, heal and bring deeper self-understanding. This transit helps us to understand our choices (conscious and unconscious), why we are the way we are, and how our experiences have contributed to our emotional and psychological make up.
Mars in Scorpio is aware much of what appears to go on right in front of our eyes is only the tip of the iceberg. Much that occurs on the surface is a result of what has been subconsciously underneath the surface for a long time.
when we make or have previously made more unconscious choices that we do not desire, with a deep dive into our own life story, what we find is these more undesired unconscious choices are often rooted in deep wounds (trauma) we have experienced, or reveal deeper feelings/needs that were previously unaware of.
many of us have had experiences or taken part in things that threw us off our center and were not healthy for us. and this usually gives us more insight into what parts within us may just need more attention, care, inquiry and compassion.
we often do the best we can, with our awareness and level of consciousness we have within that moment in time.
we are responsible for our healing and the choices we make. at the same time, as we go back in time, reflect, and recognize we are all wounded; we see how we are also often not at fault (and most of the time, it is no one’s fault.)
we are holistic as is, learning, making different choices, and coming back into balance, and we have the power to create the change we desire.
Mar’s transit through Scorpio leads and supports this.
This is a time to empower yourself through balancing any extremes in your life, and implementing new patterns that support the direction you desire to go in- and caring for any uncomfortable feelings that may come up along the way.
Though at times un-easing, uncomfortable, disturbing or scary, this transit really opens us up to the empowerment that lives in our vulnerability when we have the courage to step into new and or uncomfortable territory.
when we are receptive to our vulnerability, not only does it open our eyes to see our own inherent resourcefulness, we are in addition better able to feel the truth of who we are on a deeper level. the process allows us to grow in our ability to honor our needs, feelings, boundaries and desires, and allow those parts of us to come back to life. -metamorphosis and self-empowerment.
with mars as the conscious leader of our evolution, whom leads through action, Mars in Scorpio action is most geared towards investigation, merging and getting to the bottom of things within ourselves and our environments. memories or experiences of grief, loss, abandonment and betrayal may resurface to purge.
a couple weeks into the transit, Mars opposes Jupiter and Uranus. this accelerates change, growth and expansion; through sudden new awareness, insights and perhaps change in beliefs.
the dead layers fall off and compost to become something new.
the potential is for new depths to be integrated and discovered, and extremes to be balanced- through Mar’s deep-dive-voyage through Scorpio this time around.
may the rejuvenated layers of skin that appear; reveal, revive and liberate the depth of who you actually are.
how are you guys? i hope you are riding the waves with trust and flow.
as always, take what resonates and leave the rest.
and thank you for being here<3
