With the Sun now in Scorpio, there is a cooling down of the heat of action, and a deepening of our awareness into the realm of emotion and raw experience. The days are getting shorter, and the dark is in ascension.
Scorpio often gets a bad rap for being manipulative and full of secrets, but we can all learn from the Scorpionic fearless embrace of the sheer reality that underlies all of life. Death, sex, jealousy - all have a role to play in the human experience.
The Sun illuminates any sign through which it passes, and for the next month or so we have the opportunity to delve deep. Thanks to Molly Hall for this quote from Thoreau which exemplifies the passage through Scorpio: "Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw at it still."

Scary looking lady. Have to admit I've felt like that on occasion. According to the online chart I did, I have Scorpio rising and Scorpio in Jupiter.
I must admit to a prejudice against certain "Scorpio" traits. I was stalked by a female born on 10-31-1962, time unknown, who was in love with my husband. This lasted for almost three years, from 1987-89, and even going to the police didn't stop it. My husband is a musician and has always had "female fans", which never bothered me, until the Stalker. His birthday is 11-26-1954, Dayton, Ohio, at 4:37 p.m. My birthday is 1-4-1951, Pittburgh, PA, at 7:40 p.m. I've had both of our Birth charts done, so I know the possible problems, but this one really threw me, since it happened while both of my parents were in declining health and passed on in 1989. I think that from 1987-1989 were the most painful and challenging of my life, but I did learn about 'stalkers' and I hope I don't ever have to deal with one again. Do you have any "Insights" regarding this, or should I just try to remember what I learned and be here now??? Thanks for your help, or just for letting me vent!
Sincerely, Dianne
I'm honored that you linked to my blog. Thanks, Lynn! And to add to the previous comment, I've come across the stalker or psychic vampire Scorpio personas. It seems like it comes with the territory, of all that psychic-emotional intensity. And some get stuck in the dark and fascinations with death, revenge, power. But that mastery of Scorpio is when that raw primal shadow is churned into the fertilizer for the new. The path for this Sun sign is not around but through. And being wholly turned inside out by the process. Great image there, of a raging goddess in the purifying flame!
When my mom used to get like that picture you posted I went in to hiding, so did my dad but then my mom took the lock off their bedroom door and you would hear her coming up the steps the door to their room would blow open and then she would either count to ten or explode. I used to turn up the music. When my dad got sick that all ended. She worked hard, lost two children and just wanted to go out of the house. My dad liked to always be in bed with the TV on. They are both gone. My dads last words were: "I love you Helen".
