Tips for facing the darkness…

Get your facts straight -

Scorpio is probing and investigative. Many may find themselves this week doing quite a bit of digging (internal and external). This sign is deeply feeling and all about loyalty and authenticity, but with a shadow that leans towards jealousy, obsession and possessiveness. Relationships could be called into question and with the energy continuing through the week, be sure you don’t fall victim to paranoia. Make cuts where necessary but be sure to get all the facts before making any major moves!

Be compassionate -

This period can reveal fatal flaws in a relationship. Intimacy will either deepen or die during this time. Be ready and willing to hear your partner out and come from a place of compassion. That way you can move forward with positivity and a deeper connection.

Beware, you’re being tested -

With old wounds, old loves and buried emotions surfacing, stay positive rather than being sucked back into toxic patterns, habits and thought processes. Instead, take confrontations as tests - an opportunity to examine your belief systems, and to make decisions on what you will take with you and what you will leave behind. With these tests come personal discoveries - celebrate yourself and your personal growth! These things are meant to pull you and draw you forward into the new and better.



Be discerning (Ghosts & ghouls of relationships past) -

With the influence of love focussed Venus and Scorpio’s focus on loyalty and authenticity, the universe is asking us in this time to reconsider our beliefs about love. What is pure and authentic to us from a love and relationships standpoint? Think carefully before reopening doors! Ask yourself why a person from your past is re emerging. Is there an opportunity for a positive new start? Or is their return a reminder of how far you’ve evolved? Consider what is there for rekindling versus what is returning for release. Question what a dynamic has taught you about yourself. Decide what you truly want from a relationship moving forward. Self love and happiness is key - leave toxic people and relationships in the past!



Get introspective -

When a planet goes retrograde we are being called to examine the past and where we have been blocking ourselves from what we desire. Be aware of what shows up in this retrograde period - examine how you’re being affected internally and what that teaches you about your values and desires. What is fighting your dreams or holding you back vs what resonates with you and adds to your growth?



With this Scorpio force of death, we’re now letting go of old emotional wounds, limiting beliefs and whatever take out us out of alignment with our core truths. On this Halloween and in November, it’s ample time to step into the darkness and confront those demons that have been holding us back from living our most authentic selves.
