The moon moves at warp speed through the skyline as it enters the sign of Scorpio bringing with it the energy of intensity, drama, and emotional extremes. Nevertheless, this is a cycle where your resourceful and disciplined thoroughness makes you well-suited for a position of leadership, administration, and responsibility. With high ambitions it’s possible for you to rise to a position of prominence. You know how to make use of available resources, how to take charge, how to get things done.
You have a strong inclination to find your purpose in life and to express it professionally or through parenthood. If vocation is the focus, you can expect a significant transformation of your career that may be beneficial as this is a time to concentrate on professional development and opportunities. This evolution may include important changes in your job duties that place you in the public eye and offer recognition for your performance. As a result, your image plays a more significant role in perception as you receive publicity that may be either positive or negative. You can take advantage of this excellent period for any kind of public relations work or sales.
But a darker trait of Scorpio is ruthlessness and the stringent standards by which you measure yourself and others can sometimes make you appear harsh, cold, and unsympathetic. This cycle emphasizes the importance of maintaining a spiritual philosophy to prevent a desire for power to be directed in a purely materialistic way that sacrifices human values. With Mars linked with the star, Facies, physical or mental endurance can be applied for good or evil in the unswerving pursuit of personal ambition and retro Venus is involved in manipulating the social order for better or worse. Mercury joins in the mix while in regress to rethink reform and it’s easy to see how the confluence of these energies play out in the larger political spectrum.
Scorpio persons (sun, moon, or rising) will play a role in situations. On a personal level, this Mars is also a strong indication of a cascade of domino events set off by persons previously unknown to you who enter your life and affairs. This may pertain to blockages or delays in matters related to transportation, communication, study, contracts/agreements, accidents, siblings or neighbors. In response, you may be taking a wait and see attitude or working silently behind the scenes. Perhaps you’re self-protecting due to the expectation of being treated harshly in a situation.
Negatively, you may be worried about job security as your position or employer conditions become unstable. A drastic change could bring an ending, separation, or death of an association, profession, or conditions. Litigation surrounding personal finances or material possessions can result if you find that someone has been stealing from you. Unexpected monetary setbacks might involve bills or taxes, but after procrastination or delay of expected funds, the revelation of an error may be corrected on your behalf.
For some, a lack of self-control may prove problematic with regard to alcohol, nicotine, substance abuse, compulsive behaviors, or unreliability in love relationships. For others, the issue is excessive self-control as a way of managing feelings or dominating others through the use of emotional strategies. This might manifest as using money in order to tempt, to play on weakness, or test limits.
However, a figure who is forceful, determined, and not easily imposed on is also featured in events. This person is a hater of deceit and cruelty and silences deception by crushing the deceiver. Even so, this person is continually engaged at war, being swayed by two emotions, one uplifting, the other degrading. If this is you, the stronger side of either of your conflicted selves will remain triumphant according to your level of self-mastery.
Although the period of amassing wealth for this phase is past, there’s generally a positive indication in financial questions. The keyword for this cycle is watchfulness suggesting prudence in matters to avoid the possibility of impending loss through predatory cleverness or theft. Though you may have fear or concerns regarding assets and security, you remain in a position of safety with the assessment and safe guarding of what you have accrued. This is a cycle that highlights guardianship and attention to the protection of resources.
