Hi Reader🌹
This time of year astrologically feels the most potent for me, and it also feels like the most important time of the year to be connected to the truth of the sky. Maybe that's because Scorpio is the smallest constellation, therefore making it's true season only a week long, or maybe it's because it's deeply intertwined with Ophiuchus, the constellation that was written out of mainstream astrology. Or maybe it's because it's my sun season and getting to the truth of things is a core part of my personality.
Regardless, it feels so important to remember the truth right now. It feels important to remember that Scorpio and Ophiuchus both symbolize different aspects of the dark feminine. It feels important to remember the truth of Mary Magdalene and how her story was written out of mainstream Christianity, but how her love for Jesus demonstrated the path to inner and outer union...the feminine aspect of Christ consciousness.
And while we remember the truth of the cosmos and the truth of Mary, we can also remember the truth of ourselves. Especially as women...it is so important that we remember our truth in order to resurrect into our power🌹
I still remember when I found True Sky astrology and learned that I was a Scorpio sun after believing I was a Sagittarius sun my whole life. I honestly was in shock. My mind didn't want to believe it, but everything in my body was telling me it was true. I didn't know much about Scorpio at the time, as any time I consumed any astrology info my eyes always jumped straight to Sagittarius.
So, it was a big process of relearning for me. Initially though, I felt how feminine it was. Ever since the start of my spiritual journey, that's been a continuous message for me. My guides came through in my first ever energy healing session and told me that my power is in my feminine. I've known intuitively since finding this type of astrology that this year was the year for me to start embodying my Scorpio sun. My Scorpio sun and Ophiuchus north node have been the two most important points of my chart this year, as I've been stepping into both of them for the first time ever, and I know I will continue to in the next two years especially.
The reason why I know this is because they are both placed in my 4th house. The 4th house is the house of the mother; the house of the home, family, roots, emotional security, and inner foundations. Having my sun sign there means that this is the area of life that lights me up, that breathes life into me, and gives me energy...when it's balanced and nurturing, that is. Having my north node there, however, also means that it's unknown territory for me; it's uncomfortable for me to step into.
It's interesting to me because my whole life I've never felt connected to the idea of being a mom. It always felt like something that I should do because society expects it and my parents want grandbabies. Growing up I always thought I would have a big corporate career. I was conditioned this way and like many young women, was pushed into my masculine and performing as a means of love and acceptance. Being that this started when I was a little girl, it has been my inner foundation and way of operating for my now 32 years living earth side.
Little did I know, the beginning of this inner narrative crumbling was when I met my partner nearly 3 years ago. It was at that point that God offered me another way. My partner is not spiritual at all, but I tell him all the time that I know God sent him to me. I had no idea that after meeting him, my "boss babe" mentality & masculine shield that I was holding onto for so long would finally break apart, because it was met with true unconditional love from a man. A love that honestly...I didn't know existed. However, this was not easy or comfortable for me to surrender to.
And over the past few months, I've gone deeper into my healing than I ever have before. I got to a deep, deep childhood wound that I realized formed the foundation of my nervous system and stress response--a wound that I suppressed so far down that I didn't realize how much it impacted my entire life. This aspect of my journey has been deeply personal for me, and it's not something that I will be sharing more on, but what I can say is that discovering and confronting it provided more healing to my inner child than anything ever has before. And it was at the very start of true Scorpio season that I faced it. Finally, I went into the fear instead of running away from it.
My point in sharing this with you is because that is what Scorpio season offers us: a time to turn inward, to our heart and our soul, to find what's there.
I spent my entire life running from this trauma because I was so scared of it, but now, I literally feel reborn.
As I was on a flight to Mexico early this week for my birthday, I was sitting there with my eyes closed, and suddenly, without even trying, I was dropping into my heart. I was feeling my inner child. She was thanking me. She was telling me how much she loves me; how long she's been waiting for me to find her and give her what she's been needing. She also told me how much she loves my partner, how perfect he is for us, and how safe she feels with him. In that moment--I felt my motherhood. No, I'm not pregnant...I just mean that I finally felt like I could be a mom one day. Actually felt it.
But, I had to learn how to nurture and love myself, and my inner child, first. Before this I never felt like I could truly access my inner child. I was so numb because the pain and anger I was holding was blocking me from it. I had tried all the things to connect with her...painting, dancing, singing...but it never really worked.
This is why. My inner child was scared and she needed to be seen and witnessed by me in order to connect with me. And now, I feel her all the time. She's always with me, guiding me, showing me the way. This sounds intense and honestly, it is. To me "inner child" work is very nuanced and completely individualized. But the crazy part is, this is written in my chart.
Scorpio is the death before the rebirth. In Sumerian mythology, Inanna is one of the earliest known goddesses. She was known as the Queen of Heaven and Earth; the goddess of love, sexuality, and war. One of the most famous myths about her is "The Descent of Inanna", which depicts her journey to the underworld and back. She descends into the underworld to visit her sister, Ereshkigal (Queen of the Underworld), leaving behind her divine power as she passes through seven gates. Stripped of her authority, she confronts Ereshkigal, who kills her and hangs her corpse on a hook. With help from the god Enki, Inanna is resurrected but must find a replacement, or sacrifice, to balance her escape from the underworld. She chooses her ungrieving husband, Dumuzi, whom she found had claimed her throne and was not mourning her disapperance at all. The symbology behind the myth is that we must become our most vulnerable in order to die, and to be reborn, we must shed what is no longer serving the new version of ourself. Inanna was offered new perspective after her resurrection, and in this case, what was no longer serving her was her self-righteous husband whom she sacrificed.
In the context of our own lives, this can be as literal as in the myth, where we need to release people or situations that are no longer serving us, but it can also be older versions of ourselves that we need to let go of.
For me, my journey of healing recenly has been the latter. I discovered why I never felt connected to my feminine, why I always felt the need to control everything, and why I didn't trust in God's plan for me. I discovered the exact moment that I stopped trusting in God, and for me, it was very young. I discovered why I felt like in order to be loved and accepted I needed to be a boss babe and have a massive career. And now that this has crumbled, I've reclaimed an aspect of myself that I didn't know I gave away, and I'm making efforts toward leaning deeper into my feminine as my way of living. My life has been set up for me in this way--to slow down, get seriously in touch with my body, and lean into love for myself and my partner in ways that I never thought I would before.
Hitting the root of what caused this foundation to form in my childhood is what allowed it to crumble.
It's been messy, painful, and unexpected. But it's also been liberating, validating, and nourishing all at the same time. And now I'm in the rebuilding stage....which is what comes after Scorpio (Ophiuchus, Sagittarius).
Scorpio season is a very short point in time. The sun enters the constellation on November 23 and then transitions to Ophiuchus on December 7.
So yes, if you or any one you know was born within that week, this makes them a Scorpio sun, not a Sagittarius sun.
I highly encourage you to look to your True Sky chart if you feel called for further guidance into what Scorpio season could be asking of you. For me, it was quite literal being that it rules my 4th house; and my inner foundation has been uprooted, which has paved the way for me to finally feel like I could be a mother one day...something I've always felt so disconnected from my entire life.
