Scorpio: Ruled by Pluto
The Sun moved into Scorpio's intense, truth-seeking, deep feeling waters on Tuesday, October 22, 2024 and will remain in these depths until November 21, 2024.
The Sun is lighting up the Scorpionic waters of our birth charts, asking us to examine "what's underneath that?" You may find you can see more clearly at this time. Are there any truths that need to be acknowledged and addressed?
Scorpio demands awareness of the full spectrum of our life experience, not just the "comfortable," "polite" or "light" aspects. Scorpio's aim is "wholeness rather than goodness," as Carl Jung once said.
I absolutely love what Chani Nicholas has written about Scorpio Season:
“Scorpio season is no time for hollow flattery or forced optimism. It’s a moment that demands us to acknowledge every part of ourselves and our choices — horrors and injustices included. After all, this is also the season of ghosts and veils thinning and spirits returning. So let’s name the dead to remember they’re always here. Let’s honor what they gave and what they lost and what they created. Let’s name what our ancestors couldn’t or wouldn’t. Let’s name what griefs we’ve been wading through and what we’re ready to throw into the fire.”
SCORPIO'S MODERN PLANETARY RULER = PLUTO
Pluto's Underworld domain is where all of our unprocessed grief, fear, rage...lives until we are at a place in our lives where we can face it, process through and integrate it into our conscious awareness.
Scorpio is the sign of the zodiac that is most motivated to traverse those depths and engage in this root-level, healing alchemy.
When we make our Scorpionic journeys into the Underworld, it bodes well to gather a support team, both in body and in spirit, so that we are not traveling the road alone.
The Underworld is a place of utmost intensity. It demands that we move toward our discomfort and fear. We must feel the primal feelings that arise, which may threaten to consume us.
There is great prize for doing our Plutonian healing work.
Empowerment. Energy. Engagement with destiny. Presence. Intensity of being. The end of guilt and shame. Deep relationship with truth.
TRANSITING PLUTO CHANGING SIGN:
On November 19, 2024 transiting Pluto will change signs into AQUARIUS for good – until 2044.
This is an enormous shift in energies, when the slowest moving planet (248 years to make a full orbit) changes sign. Now that Pluto is in the last degree (29th) of Capricorn, a long process is culminating. We may sense we are having experiences that seek to seal in the learning that’s been taking place for the last 16 years (since Pluto entered into Capricorn in 2008).
