VENUS IN SCORPIO 4th December 2023

𝘋𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 ⁣

Venus is about to enter Scorpio, the sign of fixed water. We're moving from a fresh breeze of Air into deep murky waters.⁣

As a collective, our values will be mainly based on emotions, imagination and intuition the next couple of weeks. Love, connection and beauty are other Venus themes that we will express in a more intense and imaginative way than before. We might be even faced with some intense emotions around physical values aka money.⁣

The element of Water is all about feeling and intuiting. Making us more sensitive these days, maybe even a bit moody. So our values might not make any logical sense to us, but we just know what is right. ⁣

Fixed energy is deep and inwards. We prefer to contain the rich emotional world of our values private - what moves our heart is not for everyone and the world to know. Instead of sharing things or expressing them bluntly, we will take our time to assess and feel into all things Venusian. ⁣

With Venus in Scorpio, we will also appreciate a certain level of emotional depth: going below the surface level when it comes to our Venus expression will give us great satisfaction. We will find beauty in those murky intense waters, that we usually avoid. We also have a strong emotional capacity right now. Amazing heart-to-heart connections can be formed by witnessing and holding space for another while we explore our inner landscape. Gently uncovering what is ready to release and what needs to be kept close to our heart.⁣

MARS IN SCORPIO OPPOSITE URANUS IN TAURUS 11th November 2023

Short fuse burning

November could turn out to be quite energetic, with a Sun-Mars conjunction on 18th November. And on top of that, Uranus will oppose Mars from 11th November until the end of this year, adding erraticness to the already energized Mars. All while we are going through the first weeks of Saturn in Pisces in direct motion again. Talking about being extra responsible with our emotions!

Best case could be us collectively balancing our will (Mars) with our sense of independence (Uranus). The worst case scenario could be people walking around with a very short fuse. Scorpio as fixed water tends to hold emotions, sometimes for a very long time. So any resentment or anger that we are holding -personally or as a collective- might come to light suddenly. On a positive note, our courage could be sparked, by Uranus sending down a lightning bolt into the emotional depth of Scorpio. Revealing our will and ability to assert ourselves.

I really urge you to pause and breathe the next couple of weeks before exploding on other people. There are ways to establish our boundaries firmly but without extra aggression. Uranus opposing Mars might entice you to blow up. Which sometimes is necessary, but often it destroys more than it helps. Whatever your preferred tool is to be calm & collected and responsible with your emotions, do that now more often than ever. It will save you from being reactive and regretting a lot of things later.

If you can, release pressure more frequently, in small doses. Get physically active, punch a pillow, or whatever helps to release the excess energy.
Take it from somebody with a natal Mars-Uranus conjunction in her chart. Once the fuse is lit, things escalate quickly. Keep this in mind now when interacting with others and don’t poke the bear.

Excess energy is also harsh on your body, so find a way to channel it and guide it. At the same time, you might be pushing your emotional and physical boundaries BECAUSE of that excess energy. So keep an eye on that, get some rest, and take good care of yourself.

Instead of blowing up, take that fuel to establish clearly what you want. Focus your energy on THAT. The combined energy of Mars and Uranus can help you break through any challenges now. Like cosmic dynamite freeing your pathway from any obstacles.

MERCURY IN SCORPIO 22nd October 2023

Mind Probes

Mercury is moving into the watery sign of Scorpio today.

The archetype of Mercury describes how we perceive and process information. How we communicate and think. And also how we learn new skills.

Scorpio as fixed water loves emotional security. Which is why this sign likes to keep their emotions private, only sharing them with a few select people and only after they gained enough trust with them. The water element is about imagination, intuition, and emotions and holds great sensitivity and empathy. The fixed mode describes Scorpio's modus operandi: intense and reserved.

Therefore, we could be more reserved the next couple of weeks, when it comes to communicating our emotions. Intense emotions might occupy our mind.

But our minds might also become very imaginative, and we could find ourselves having more access to intuitive hunches right now. A Scorpio Mercury is one of the best BS radars you can get. This fixed water mind can see straight through any tricks or masks.

The flipside of Mercury in Scorpio is a paranoid mind. Seeing threats that are not real. The Scorpionic mind can become so distrustful, that everyone and everything is potentially the enemy. Something to be aware of, especially in the collective.

One way we could use this energy productively is by intellectually investigating our deepest inner selves. By sending probing questions deep down into our emotional reservoir, collecting valuable data, and bringing it to the surface. It's the perfect time to ask yourself some very uncomfortable questions, to assess your inner landscape:

When sitting all by yourself, what emotions come up? If identifying emotions from scratch is difficult, you could print out a list with challenging emotions, like sadness, anger etc. And then read through the list, ticking off the emotions that resonate with you at that moment. Then go into an investigation: "When did I start feeling this way? Who made me feel this way? What happened that made me feel this way?" Becoming aware of buried emotions is the first step to releasing them.

MARS ENTERS SCORPIO 12th October 2023

Emotional Landscapes

Mars is moving into the sign of Fixed Water (Scorpio) today. After spending the past weeks in an outwards and rational energy. Now it is time for Mars to become more internalized and emotional.

Mars is the archetype that gets us moving and also helps us to put boundaries in place. Our collective drive and sense of action-taking will be filtered through the Scorpionic filter over the next couple of weeks.

The Fixed mode means internal, private and intense. It values security and likes to observe first. Water is all about emotions, intuition and sensitivity. Therefore, fixed Water focuses a lot on emotional security. And they prefer to process their intense emotions privately.

Before leaping forward, we might first check: How do I feel about it? Does it feel safe to take this action? Can I trust this? We might also rely more on our intuition now when moving forward.

From the outspokenness of Libra when it comes to our boundaries, we are now switching to setting our boundaries non-verbally. There will be no need to verbalize them, people will simply feel when they crossed the line. Our emotional presence will radiate out intense cues that signal: Stop! Do not go further! In some cases, we could even become overly protective of our needs – and react with intense emotions when they are not met. Fixed signs come with a certain stubbornness too – my own Mars is in Scorpio and if I don’t FEEL like it, I won’t do it. If it does not feel right or when I have not landed emotionally yet, there is 0 chance I’ll do something that you asked me 🙃

The inner emotional landscape of Scorpio can also provide us with a strong imagination to support actualizing our desires. One of the keys to fueling anything that we want to achieve in life is our emotions. And we‘ve currently got access to really strong ones -let’s use them to propel us ahead!
