Scorpio Season and a Venus Jupiter Party with Pluto

  

It is officially Scorpio season as of 1:47 p.m. on October 23^rd and it kicks off with a quite a punch.  The moon enters Pisces at 1:18 a.m., adding more emotional intensity and sensitivity to the mix.  But more importantly, Scorpio’s ruling planet, Pluto, currently in the sign of Capricorn, forms a delightful trine with Venus in Virgo at 3:43 a.m.  Venus trining Pluto favors creative and artistic endeavors and focuses heavily on relationships.  The only potential drawback with this aspect is a tendency to get caught up in obsession.  Venus Pluto aspects tend to have a rather obsessive quality to them, but the trine, especially in earth signs, can help mitigate any damage that would be more likely to occur with the square or opposition.  Trust me, I have a Venus Pluto square in fixed signs, and it literally breathes tenacity and obsessiveness in relationships.

If any of you have planets or points (like your midheaven, nodes of the moon or ascendant) in 10-16 degrees of the water (Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio) or earth (Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo) signs, you will feel this Venus Pluto transit big-time.  The Venus Pluto trine in earth signs can provide assistance in transforming relationships by fixing them.  Venus is in Virgo, which likes to fix and heal, while Pluto in Capricorn is a real go getter in terms of achieving goals.  As for me, my Saturn in 12 degrees of Scorpio is smack in the middle of this aspect courtesy of having both Venus and Pluto sextiling it.  This should be very interesting with all that action in my 11^th, 1^st and 3^rd houses…

It’s no secret that I have a vested interest in Scorpio season because it is my sign and it’s my time to shine.  But the concept of shining is a rather intriguing one for Scorpios, because Scorpio is all about secretiveness and getting to the bottom of things.  Other themes associated with Scorpio include intensity, passion, strong will, complexity, resourcefulness, tenacity, loyalty, regeneration and revenge if feeling betrayed.  Scorpio can be your best friend but your worst enemy in the world if you cross them.  Scorpio is the fixed water sign and it carries a lot of emotional baggage.  Out of all the water signs, Scorpio is probably the least likely to reveal its emotions, because its mantra is “Still waters run deep.”  The Scorpio season is a powerhouse time, not for lightweights and will deliver much intensity in the coming weeks. If the intensity starts to overwhelm you, just breathe and rest assured that the vibe will lighten when the Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22^nd.

It’s no secret that Scorpios have experienced a rather challenging couple of years with Saturn in Scorpio from 2012 to 2015, but now that Saturn is finally out of Scorpio after a brief return from June to September 2015, Scorpios are free to reclaim their title of the comeback kids of the zodiac.  I love the fact that Michael Lutin once commented that if any sign could survive a nuclear holocaust, it would be Scorpio!

On October 25^th, Venus and Jupiter will be conjunct in Virgo, which is definitely conducive energy for partying, finances and relationships in general.  While neither Venus nor Jupiter is exactly comfortable in Virgo (Venus is considered to be in fall in Virgo), we should still be able to enjoy this aspect if we don’t get too caught up in micromanaging the details that Virgo loves to obsess over.  Jupiter in Virgo requires us to have faith that all will work out in the end if we have done our due diligence. Venus and Jupiter will also be conjunct Mars in Virgo, providing us with the energy to move forward.  And we are still under the influence of that Venus Pluto trine, which is now involving Mars and Jupiter.  Scorpio energy will be quite intense and vibrant on October 25^th thanks to Pluto’s influence.

We have one other aspect on October 25^th that holds the potential for some unexpected communication to erupt.  Mercury in Libra will be opposing Uranus in Aries, so don’t rule out the possibility of some heated discussions or problems with computers, electronics, or transportation difficulties.  It may briefly feel like a Mercury retrograde, but I assure you that Mercury is safely out of the shadow of its most recent challenging Mercury retrograde.  But if you have any planets or points in 15- 21 degrees of the cardinal signs of Capricorn, Cancer, Libra or Aries, you may experience some of this disruptive energy.  Don’t shoot the messenger, I am just trying to give you fair warning…

I am channeling that Jupiter, Mars and Venus in Virgo energy by offering my Reiki services.
