Scorpio Season; There is You Before, and There is You After.

0:10 Where in your life do you feel powerless? Where in your life do you feel like you just have no control and you are forced to surrender? Where in your life do you wish you could wave a magic wand and have it completely change into something you couldn't dream of? Something that feels so far out of reach for you, for your family, from what you come from.

0:43 Yet you think about it, you feel it. Maybe it's money. Maybe you want to be a multi-billionaire. Maybe it is love and intimacy. Maybe you're dreaming of having a really close friend that is ride or die. That is your 2 a.m. phone call that feels like family. Maybe it's love. Maybe you're craving a life partner where you know they're not going anywhere through highs and lows, through sickness and in health.

1:11 They are right there. That energy is Scorpio season. I'm on a mission to debunk the scary side of Scorpio. It has it, of course, but honestly, every side has every sign has a scary side. And it's often the ones you don't suspect that have the scariest, okay? Scorpio, it has the word death attached to it.

1:35 It has the word stinger. And come on, who likes scorpions? Well, I will say, being raised with an Aquarius mother and an Aquarius rising brother. We actually had a pet scorpion. My brother loved reptiles. He is a Taurus son, classic, with a Leo Moon, fearless, loud, red, um, and an Aquarius rising. And growing up, he would be that kid that would just gravitate towards a pond, walk in waist deep, and put his hands down in the water and pull out a giant snapping turtle and just hold it with both hands, like, look what I found.

2:10 And you're like, oh, cool. I would be on the sidelines, like ankle deep in water, like, nice, that's that's awesome. He would catch snakes with his hand. I remember one time he caught this pretty decent-sized garden snake in the forest, and he held it in one hand, and the snake just started biting him.

2:28 And garden snakes don't have fangs or teeth, they just have like sandpaper mouths. And I just watched the snake continuously bite his hand, and he goes, Isn't it so cute? Like, look at it. I'm like, no, it's not. But uh my brother had a pet scorpion when we were in elephant during school, stayed up in our attic, which is like kind of a finished space, and we would go up there with black lights and look at her because it somehow it had babies.

2:56 I don't know if you bought it pregnant or how it occurred, but we would go up there with a black light and look at it glowing in the dark, and eventually the babies fell off and the mama scorpion ate them. You know, my Scorpio moon was just really learning lessons about life and death. And in that moment, I thought, why would a mother kill her children?

3:18 That is so Scorpio. Right. Hi, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Astrology Lounge. Coming at you live from beautiful Twin Moon Ranch. I've got the doors to the Astrology Lounge wide open. It's that sweet, sweet time of year where it's not too hot, it's not too cold, it's the perfect temperature with all windows and doors open.

3:41 Mmm, I love it. I love living in the south. Growing up in uh New Hampshire, it was always very cold. We, gosh, we'd be gearing up for snow and sleet around this time, but it's warm here. I'm in a tank top dress still, all the doors and windows are open. I'm very proud to be a transplant Texan. Today we're gonna talk all about Scorpio season.

4:02 Libras, I bow my head to you. I hope you guys had an awesome birthday. Thank you for being diplomatic, for showing us what it's like to be on the other side of ourselves, and for always initiating conversations to remind us that life should always be a continuous, not battle, but adventure journey of making things as balanced as possible.

4:25 You know, the Libra scales, they're never fully 50-50 balanced. And I think that's just life. I mean, find me one thing that is meant to stay stationary, 50-50 fair at all times. I feel like life is organically just unfair. And if you've been in a long-term friendship or partnership, marriage, then you know this firsthand that marriage and relationships are tipped scales.

4:51 I think they're more like 80-20. There's seasons where you are giving 80% of the sacrifices, and then there's seasons that'll flop, and your partner or the person with you in relationship to you is giving 80% to you. You know, it's like seasons of being busy at work, seasons of sickness. So that's just how I I've witnessed relationships.

5:11 And now, of course, when that scale never tips, things get severely imbalanced. And then we have Venus retrograde and Mercury retrograde coming through to say, hey, where have you been too busy to acknowledge or covered your eyes and your ears and your nose and your mouth and all of your senses? So you're just pretending like there's an imbalance.

5:32 Well, it's gonna rear its head during this time because it wants to tip the scales a little bit. This Scorpio season is an interesting one because it opens with Venus being reborn. I mean, this is wild. This is so cool. So be sure to visit the show notes, visit the website astrology-lounge.com. I know we are booked for all of November, I think we finally made, but you can always join the wait list.

5:59 That's right. You will get a text message straight to your phone the moment somebody reschedules or cancels a reading, which happens a lot because you book these things in advance, life happens, and people reschedule quite often. So you can get notified and you could see me tomorrow if you're on the wait list and you get a notification that someone did.

6:18 So be sure to join that if you're interested in a reading. Um, yeah, we're gonna have something, we're gonna have a limited edition reading coming out, and I'm really excited about it. I've never offered it, but pay pay to close attention to that. So astrology-lounge.com. I need to order new merchandise for us here.

6:35 We always rock our astrology lounge hoodies, pullovers. We've got a nice collared half-zip sweater that Mr. Virgo wears to work. I feel so lucky that he wears my brand out around Austin. I always say, if someone sees him, he's usually wearing the astrology lounge. You'll know it's Mr. Virgo because I'm not sure what other man would wear my merch.

6:54 I wish more men would. But um, yeah. So thank you guys for being here. And Scorpios, step up. It's your birthday season. Happy solar return. We call birthdays in the astrology world. Thank you guys for showing us what it's like to go through pain and come out stronger. I think if I could redo Scorpio's symbolism, I remove the Scorpion, poor thing, just gets a negative reputation, and I would make it a phoenix rising from the ashes, like the Hunger Game symbol.

7:22 Like that is so badass. I would just stamp that on the Scorpio skies because they are. Scorpio energy is a phoenix rising from the ashes. You can always tell how well someone does with Scorpio energy because it's based on what they do with awful things that happen to them, right? Like this is life. We are all going to experience a death, we are all going to experience a heartbreak, grief, shock, pain.

7:53 That's life. And that's Scorpio talking about the things, the secrets that we've kept to ourselves and saying them out loud. But Scorpio energy is even if I've done something that is awful, how do I handle that moving forward? If someone did something terrible, abusive to me, how do I handle that going forward?

8:14 And no, it's not fair that someone made their wounding your problem by abusing you sexually, emotionally, verbally. Now it is your problem. And that sucks. And it is not fair, and justice should be served. But even if justice is served through the legal system, Libra, it still doesn't erase the trauma.

8:34 That becomes your job. And the bad news is that sucks. The good news is you're in good company. We're all going through something. This is a cliche, but everyone you know and look at and see has Scorpio stories that you can't see on social media when we share highlight reels. Everyone is going through something.

8:53 I'm the one that always says if someone's driving behind me like an asshole, I just, they could just be being an asshole. But I tell myself, they're probably in a rush to get to the hospital because their child is sick, or they're probably in a rush to get home because there's an emergency at home. Let them go.

9:09 Just let it happen. Or maybe if they flip me off and honk their horn, who knows what abuse they're going through at home. It doesn't excuse behavior like that at all. They need to be held accountable, but I'm not gonna take it personal on attack on me at all, right? Now I say that cautiously because sometimes it could turn into suicidal empathy when you constantly say, no, you cheated on me.

9:32 I mean, it's okay, you know, you got a Pisces Moon and you were raised, seeing that all the time. I get it. Although that is a Scorpio thing, is Scorpio, yes, it's fixed water, as we'll get into. They know they're known to hold a grudge, but if a Scorpio gets full, transparent, raw, primal truth and accountability from someone that burned them, you actually get their loyalty and they forgive and forget.

9:59 If they feel it in their bones that you mean your apology and you explained the psychological origins of your behavior, they're actually one of the first signs to forgive and forget. And you become like blood brothers because they're like, dang, thanks for that vulnerability. Thanks for just letting your guard down completely and transparently showing me why you fucked up.

10:20 That's Scorpio for you. Never forget that. I always get like, hey, they don't hold grudges. Uh Scorpio is a sign that represents jealousy, possessiveness, control, and being a Scorpio moon in Venus myself, I've I never resonate with emotions like that. And I've wondered why. And so I just want to share this really quick for any other Scorpio placements out there that are like, I don't resonate with that jealous control, possessiveness.

10:47 Um, if you have Sagittarius or Libra, which are the neighboring signs of Scorpio, anywhere else in your chart, I'm Sagittarius Sun, I got my Mercury in Sagittarius, it softens the edges. It turns that sharp square into a circle. And so typically that's not how possessiveness, jealousy, and things like that um unfold in terms of relationships, sex, things like that.

11:11 Just a little fun fact of Scorpio. So as we enter Scorpio season, are you holding on to something or someone because it still reflects who you are, or because you're afraid of who you'll be forced to become without the kid or without them. Scorpio's disempowered side is holding on to something, a job, a financial income stream, a relationship, a sexual partnership, a marriage.

11:42 So long after the soul's expiration date has passed that it begins suffocating and just eroding your soul. Taurus does this too, but Taurus may change more quicker than a Scorpio would. So a disempowered side of Scorpio energy, and this is for all of us collectively, whether you have Scorpio placements or not, is realizing where you've held on to something because you're so afraid of the forced transformation, the forced arising from the ashes that you will have to face should you let go of said thing or person.

12:21 Change is inevitable. The only thing inevitable is taxes and change, right? Who said that quote? And this is Scorpio season. Scorpio is one of those interesting signs that has a paradox where they rule loyalty, staying power. They are a fixed sign, which means they stay, they they are a centerpiece, they work hard and they're loyal, but they're water, and so their emotion gets stuck in places.

12:45 Now, they're also the sign of transformation, and it's that deep intensity of death. I mean, death is what rules Scorpio, Scorpio rules death, and it's the best example of this. We don't want our loved ones, our pets, our kids, our parents, our friends, we don't want them to die. But every year we go over the day we will die.

13:09 Here's my Scorpio moon coming out for you, right? Every year you celebrate your birthday, but you also have a random Tuesday that is also your death date. Think about that. The day that your partner will die, the day that your mom will die, your dad will die, your pet will die. I know we're getting so deep here.

13:28 This is Scorpio season, but it's true. You know, I have a lot of really curious clients that I do birth chart readings for, and uh a handful of them over the years have asked me we pull a birth chart, a picture of the sky at the minute someone was born. Why don't we pull something for a death date for the minute someone passes away and takes their last breath?

13:50 I loved that question. I absolutely love when I work with you guys and we look at transits on when someone close to you passed away, or we look at charts of someone you know who passed away and look at what was going on their chart on the day they passed away. It's fascinating. Um but that's a really good perspective, right?

14:10 And I don't have an answer for it. Sorry if I like led you up to uh I was gonna give you an answer. I don't. I don't have one, I've never heard of it. So do let me know if you guys have heard anything about this, but I think so. Um, I would imagine that a birth chart and a death chart, a birth chart shows the soul's potential, like a roadmap of this life, and the death chart may be like a review of how the life went.

14:36 Did it fulfill things? What was especially in transits to a death chart, what was going on that day? Was this something the soul chose to leave, exit through that door? I don't know. I would love to hear your perspective. So astrology-lounge.com, hit the contact form and let me know what you think of this.

14:52 But that is a Scorpio theme right there. Every year you go over the date that will be on your grave when you pass away. Scary. Ooh, don't want to think of that. Why don't you want to think of that? Why is that scary? You're we're about to celebrate a Halloween and all dress up like we're dead. But wait, it's not fun to think about.

15:10 Hold on. What if we changed our mind and thought, that's true? And I'm gonna let this fight with my boyfriend go. Because what if today's the day he's gonna die this time next year? Would this fight really matter? Would this thing that I am so trying to prove I'm right? Well this argument over money, would this matter?

15:33 If he were to die 30 days from now. I don't know. That's Scorpio energy right there. The house and our birth chart, the pie slice that's a rule by Scorpio, is typically the area of life where you'll make at least one, usually two, massive transformations. So look at the area of your chart that is ruled by Scorpio and get comfortable with your natural tendency to crave emotional stability and surety in that house, but also get comfortable with something about it dying and passing away.

16:09 I'm a Taurus rising. Scorpio rules my seventh house of marriage and partnership. While I have not experienced the physical passing of a partner, although a lot of fellow Taurus risings have, it represents death and rebirth in marriage and partnership and relationships. And of course, I met someone in third grade, he became my fiance and then my husband, and I lost him to addiction and divorce.

16:36 And so if you've ever dealt with those two things, it is like you lose someone, their physical body is still there, but their their heart, their soul is not. I think that's so Scorpio and divorce. You know, this is someone I have known since I was a child. And so going through a divorce from this person did feel like a huge death because there's such an anchor and a rock in your entire half of your life, over half of your life.

17:00 And so it's quite it always threw me for a loop to imagine how someone you've known for that long and slept next to for that long can become a complete stranger. Like I haven't spoken to him in oh my gosh, four or five years. And I don't know if I could pick out his laugh in a room, whereas before he was just the back of my hand, you know?

17:23 And so wherever Scorpio rules in your chart is typically where you'll experience massive deaths and rebirths in a good way, right? Um, my story of divorce and seventh house themes was was heavy there, but let me just finish. I was reborn into someone brand new from my divorce. I rose up and financially supported myself 100%.

17:46 No sharing rent, no splitting costs by myself. And that feeling of being like, whoa, I actually don't need anyone, I just want someone, is what made me meet Mr. Virgo. And it's been such a cool, wild ride to be his partner. And of course, we've been together for almost six, seven years, and marriage has been a topic of discussion since we met because we just fell gaga over our twin Scorpio moons.

18:15 But we've let it, it's been so cool to talk to him about marriage because we went from like, oh, we've been together for a year, let's get engaged, to well, wait, why? That stuff's expensive. He's been divorced as well, and we just together rebirthed a new image of what marriage means. Number one, we wanted our children, the boys, to see us get married.

18:39 We thought, wouldn't it be amazing if kids got to from an age where they could cognitively remember it, watch their parents exchange vows? It just adds a level of weight between you and your partner going through life. Like, well, hey, our kids watched us exchange these vows. So we need to live up to these standards every single day because they watched, they saw that it kind of sets the bar for their future relationships.

19:01 And as I say this out loud, this is so Scorpio. And uh, he's in Cancer Rising, so his seventh house is ruled by Capricorn. And he, I'm sure he won't mind me sharing this with you guys, but Scorpio rules his fifth house of children. And so, of course, if you're listening to this and you're co-parenting or parallel parenting as we call it, it's it's so just gut-wrenching to have a death and a rebirth around custody and going from living with your kids to splitting time with them.

19:30 It's been so painful, but also beautiful to watch him get to a place where his boys are now preteens and just adore him and love their connection with him. It just continues to grow and get stronger, and it's really cool to finally see them at this space where they went through a death and now we're rebirth into a different series of life.

19:49 And I just can't wait to watch them grow up. I just can't wait to for them to be older and teenagers and talk to them about all the Scorpio themes: sex, drugs, all those just dark subjects. I'm like, come to me, boys, we'll we'll hash it out. But um, that's the Scorpio fifth house. My mom too. My mom's cancerizing, Scorpio rules her fifth house.

20:08 My God, she's had to watch my brother go from um struggling with autism, being on the spectrum, to getting diagnosed with epilepsy and now being permanently on disability. And I remember he went on permanent disability right after his Saturn return, and my mom was just grieving and said, I like I feel like he died, but didn't because you know, as a as a parent, you have this future.

20:30 Like they'll get married one day, they'll have kids one day and give me grandkids and travel the world and just do things they want to do. And then when a child goes gets disabled in their 20s or their 30s, all that just dies. There's my mom's Scorpio fifth house. Now I share all of these things. I hope you're not listening to this and looking at your chart and going, oh God, because there's always a beautiful, empowering, happy ending where there's a death when it comes to Scorpio, a big gift is left.

20:57 For me, uh, my partnership to Mr. Virgo is the most juicy, rich, rewarding, precious, beautiful. Just I can't even words can't even describe it. And regardless of if him and I ever separate, he he's so family, like it's just embedded in us. And I'll always be so thankful for how much he empowered me and taught me to stand on my own two feet into my next relationship, right?

21:23 Um, the Scorpio fifth house, like my mom and my brother share such a beautiful relationship now, and they actually get to spend way more time together because of him being disabled. And they they're twin Leo moons, too. So they have so much fun and they are there for each other all the time. It's like this beautiful friendship.

21:43 And so we're all good. Everything's good. It's not how we saw it, we didn't want that change. It had some turbulent when it was turbulence when it was happening, but it delivers you into such a beautiful space that you're like, only a deep change could have gotten me here now. Scorpio midheavens, Scorpio ruled 10th house.

22:02 These are always my people that come to me and they're like, I've been in a career for 15 years, but man, I've dreamt of being a writer. I'm like, oh, okay. Usually one huge change in your career. Scorpio Risings, you guys are listening to this clapping your hands, right? Like, oh, my whole life is an inevitable series of once I attach my identity into this, it's taken away and I got to find my identity somewhere else.

22:24 But each time I grow in my resiliency. Scorpio risings, right now, it switches depending on all the data I'm collecting on the different sun, moons, and risings. But Scorpio risings, you are right now my fave. You guys are just resilient, just badass people when you step into that Phoenix power. So Scorpio House is typically where you'll make at least one massive transformation that pushes you into intense power and passion.

22:51 Scorpio energy is like have you ever been through something you did not know how you would survive? But you did. But you did. Whether it's not being able to put food on the table, maybe it's not knowing how you're gonna pay your rent, how you're gonna pay your car note and get to work. I mean, these are some Scorpio type energy.

23:12 They always say the moon represents how you view your mother, and so of course, having a Scorpio moon, you would associate that as ooh, your mom must be scary. Not my mom. Like I said in the last episode, she plays because I'm happy all the time. And so I sat with this for a while and thought, you know, my mom has never scared me, backstabbed me, betrayed me, lied to me.

23:35 I've never, in fact, my mom is extremely loyal. Um, but when I was young, my mom was a single mother on welfare, and we had to go to church basements to get food. And I remember watching her just have a breakdown as she collected milk and bread and little things to make sure my brother and I could eat.

23:56 And then over the course of 10 to 15 years, she utilized the welfare system correctly, even though it was such a hit to her Leo Moon pride, and she got a bachelor's degree and then her master's degree. And the next thing I know, she's spending three months in Italy working at a government place for uh nursing informatics and technology and engineering, just doing so well for herself.

24:20 And so there's my Scorpio moon. I have watched my mom quite literally go from rags to riches. I watch her go through such massive changes, being at rock bottom and a Phoenix rising from the ashes. And so I share all these stories. Thank you for listening. Because this is real Scorpio energy. Scorpio energy is now that you have reached rock bottom, what are you going to do now?

24:43 Once you have rock bottom, guess what? There's nowhere to go but up. So I guess it's pretty cool. Now you just get to climb one step at a time to rise from the ashes of what burned and be reborn again. Be resilient, be strong. This is Scorpio energy. Now let's talk about this specific Scorpio season running from October 23rd, 2026, coming right up on Friday, all the way to November 21st, 2026.

25:13 I love November Sagittarians. They're an interesting breed. Their smoothie is like Scorpio Sag. It's delicious, it's a strong flavor. I love it. But happy birthday, Scorpios. Thank you for teaching us resiliency. Please stop manipulating us. Please bring awareness to when you're manipulating us because sometimes you're so good at it you don't even know.

25:33 But thank you, Scorpios, for showing us that we can hit rock bottom and through hard work, resiliency, and that fixed sign energy, eyes on the prize. We could scale any mountain, no matter where we come from or where we're going. Now, the interesting part of this Scorpio season is it's opening with Venus kazimi conjunct the sun at zero degrees, Scorpio.

25:59 Wild times. Our values are still being reassessed, but Venus is being reborn. This is a potent Scorpio season. Also on October 24th, that's gonna be Saturday, right after this. Mercury will go retrograde at 20 degrees. Sorry about that, I had to pause because Jackson was chasing a deer. Ranch life. Mercury will go retrograde at 20 degrees, Scorpio all the way back to five degrees, Scorpio.

26:23 So this is a very interesting time to Mercury, the mind, communication, think, speak, to really go back and revise the way you see and think about and process Scorpio themes. Listen, I am on a mission as well to debunk, demystify the energy around retrogrades. I want you to get so excited when you see a retrograde.

26:50 I want you to say, you know, Scorpio is an energy I struggle with. I am really afraid of change. And yeah, I have stayed in relationships, jobs, situations because I'm so deathly afraid of death, of change, of things ending. Mercury comes through and says, Hey, come here. Come back with me. Come do a little therapy sessions with me.

27:09 Every Tuesday and Thursday during Scorpio season, Mercury's sitting there with his notepad and he's like, let's reassess and rethink why. Let's go through Scorpio's energy. Let me find out the root of this, where you develop this, because you weren't born this way. And then let's look at ways that we can heal and feel Scorpio energy without crippling fear.

27:30 So I absolutely love and think that we are so lucky to have this specific Scorpio season begin with a Mercury retrograde, and Mercury will be retrograde nearly the entire bulk of it. October 24th, the day after the sun moves into Scorpio, all the way to November 15th, which is mere days before Sagittarius, and like about a week before Sagittarius season begins.

27:52 So the bulk of Scorpio season, Mercury's like, hey, let's change your mind. Let's really think about Scorpio type themes and see how we can refine them. Welcome them in more. And again, look at the house rule by Scorpio, especially 20 back down to five degrees of Scorpio to see where you're revising, rethinking, and reassessing that area of life.

28:17 All right, let's go over the basics of Scorpio. I feel like I've fallen off track during my seasons episodes. I used to be so methodical and give you guys the symbol, the mythology. I don't know, we just go how it feels. But Scorpio season, the sign of secrets, intensity, loyalty, emotional depth, transformation.

28:39 It's really cool to study the physical traits of zodiac signs because you can see obviously your rising sign is how you move throughout the world. So if you're looking at someone at the airport, the bus station, you're just watching people and they how they move, how they talk, how they carry themselves, you're probably seeing their rising sign.

28:57 But if you really look at their eyes, the shape of them, how they stare, do they make eye contact, the color of them? I you see someone's moon sign. I can always tell a Scorpio moon by those eyes. Let's see. Will Smith, Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus. Those are the celebrity Scorpio moons that I can think of off the top of my head.

29:22 Oh, Mark Zuckerberg. There you go. Okay, I'm done. But Scorpio energy is so much more than just the gothic, jealous stereotype that it gets stuck with. Like, we're gonna we're gonna debunk that. Let's start with Scorpio symbolism. The little M with the arrow pointing out, it dates back to ancient Mesopotamia.

29:46 Mesop, I can never say that, Mesopotamia, where people recognized a scorpion-shaped constellation in the sky. The modern glyph, the M with the arrow pointing out, resembles the pointed tail of a scorpion's stinger. Now, there's also some mythology that says that is a penis pointing out the head of a penis going out because Scorpio is associated with sex reproduction.

30:14 Think about the transformation that takes place during sex and then conception, which is just the most wildest thing to study, truly a spiritual energetic experience of that. But then, come on, like a woman can grow a penis in her body. That is the most Scorpio eighth house energy ever, and then gives birth to it.

30:37 This is why Scorpio rules sex, not just the act of orgasm, although it can get deeply on that level because sex, sacred energy exchange. Scorpio knows this. A lot of Scorpios in relationships, they will have sex to really feel how you actually feel rather than what you say. Tantric sex. Sex sometimes toxic sex.

31:00 This is Scorpio, although I'd say that's more Mars in the eighth house of any sign, or Scorpio Mars, or Aries placements. But think about this Virgo, the sign of the virgin, it's also an M, but that arrow is closed, and that represents closed legs, the genitals closed virginity. Scorpio is open, receptive.

31:26 So the Scorpio glyph symbolizes protection, instinct, knowing when to sting, when to defend yourself, and when to just lay low and hide under a rock and let karma do its thing. Scorpio's number is eight. Now, if you know numerology, you know the number eight is associated with abundance, but also power, intensity.

31:48 Uh, Mr. Virgo and I are twin Scorpio moons, and we are both life path number eight. We share a lot of similarities with that stuff. But um a little fun fact that I didn't realize, but I always want to be a student of astrology no matter what. But scorpions actually have eight legs. That's not the reason for Scorpio's placement of the number eight, but maybe it is.

32:10 Maybe there's a connection there. So the number eight is it hosts things like intimacy, shared finances, transformation, and power. So, why a scorpion? This is the Greek mythology. Um, Orion, I I did a book report on Orion in third grade. Little did I know, little did I know, and I loved it. It was so fun to go to oh, what a concept showing my age here.

32:35 I had to go to a library, I had to go rent a book and bring it home on the bus and my backpack. Yep, I opened it and sniffed the spine. You guys send me so many memes. You damn right I did. And I had to just research this constellation. I can't tell you anything about it now, but I did good. And I presented a report on it.

32:58 I wish, God, I wish phones were around in that presentation of a little third grade me presenting the constellation Orion. But he was a mighty hunter who declared that he could kill every animal on earth. And then Mother Gaia, the goddess of earth, became furious with his enormous ego. So she sent a little scorpion to sting and kill him.

33:20 And the scorpion was immortalized among the stars, giving us the constellation Scorpius. Now, the lesson of this mythology is that even the mightiest of men can be brought down by something small. So power must be balanced with humility. The modality of Scorpio, so it can either be a cardinal sign, those are signs that start things, start seasons, mutable sign that passes the torch in the middle of seasons, or a fixed sign, which maintains the fire of a season.

33:52 It's a water sign that is fixed. It's a water sign, Pisces, Scorpio cancer. They represent emotions, intuition, sensitivity in our inner world. That's why I've always said, like, why do people say the moon in Scorpio is in its detriment or its fall? I don't agree with that. But whatever. I don't make the rules, I just bend them.

34:13 Fixed Scorpio represents stability, persistence, commitment, and also the resistance to change. So Scorpio's cousins are Pisces and Cancer, but they also have the cousins of Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius. They share the same fixed modality. That's why whenever Taurus gets that reputation for being the most stubborn, I'm like, I'm sorry.

34:34 You must not know any Scorpios in your life. Or I'm sorry, you must have no friends with an Aquarius son. Or clearly there's no Leos in your family. Because they'll give Taurus a run for that bowl's money when it comes to being stubborn and resisting change. Now put water and the fixed element together, and you get someone who feels things deeply but does not necessarily show them.

35:00 Imagine a deep lake or the deepest part of an ocean. The surface might appear completely still and glassy, but underneath, there's an entire world. That's Scorpio, right? In everyday life, this can simply look like someone who takes years to trust another person. But once they do, fiercely loyal. Scorpio, we do not do surface level conversations or temporary connections.

35:26 I, with my Scorpio, moon, and Venus, conjunct each other. I once, I literally, I'm just gonna be vulnerable with you guys. I want stroll therapist because I go through a lot of deaths and rebirth with friendships as well. And it crushes me because in my little Scorpio heart, sisterhood is forever and ever.

35:44 And I just I struggle to find sisters that can ride with the depths of what I go through in my life. It's like it scares them away, or they can't stand that I won't leave something or leave a job or change this. And it's like, man, I didn't ask you to tell me what to do. I asked you to just be a container for my darkness, man.

36:04 That's all I want. I'm gonna lick my wounds. I'm gonna regenerate. Come on, I'll share all my money with you. But it's tough. It's really tough. And this, I once told a therapist when I was talking about this. I said, I genuinely do not know how to find friends if we're not trauma bonding from the get-go.

36:26 What do you how do you do you just go to a bar and talk about sports? I can't do that. I will ask them, like, hey, you are oozing insecurity. Who did this to you? Like, hey, I see you're really playing with that ring on your finger. What are you like anxious about your partner? Like, what's really going on?

36:47 Hey, I see you just won't sit still. Why are you so anxious around me? Where this isn't me. Why do you have social anxiety? Did you get bullied a lot growing up? I just don't know how to not meet a stranger and say, hey, let's talk about the Cornell 7 and let's go really deep. Scorpio, moon, and Venus.

37:08 Now taking applications for friends who just want to bypass all the hey, what do you do for your loving? I don't care. Tell me who hurt you and when are we going to get revenge on them? That's Scorpio. No surface level stuff. But um, Scorpio is traditionally ruled by Mars. I know it's associated with Pluto, and that is the more modern ruler of it, but traditionally it's Mars.

37:33 So people are always so scared of Pluto transits. Meanwhile, Mars is the actual Scorpio villain, and we're just ignoring it, like, ah, Pluto's on my moon. I'm like, yeah, but Mars is sitting right on your sun. You're not worried about that. But Mars gives Scorpio courage, passion, protective instincts.

37:52 A lot of athletes are Scorpio, a lot of executives and entrepreneurship are Scorpio. I would say, in my experience, Mars and Scorpio tends to be a billionaire placement. They are not playing checkers, they are playing chess, and you don't even know it until it's too late. It's a pretty badass placement.

38:10 Mars and Scorpio. Um, but Pluto adds the symbolism of transformation, power, and renewal. Now, who is Scorpio's sister sign? Because every sign has a sister, sister. It's Taurus. This one's always next to Virgo and Pisces. Taurus and Scorpio are the sisters, and I'm like, this is interesting. It's like Taurus is the Cinderella.

38:29 She's the she's the sister with the floral gown, and she's just naturally so beautiful with minimal makeup. And then you have the Scorpio sister who's just she's got dark circles under her eyes because she was up all night thinking about an emotional connection that dissolved because they cheated on her, and she tends to gravitate towards darker colored clothes.

38:46 She's a little neurodivergent. She's just she's heavy. And you're like, wow, how are these two sisters? They they seem like they come from completely different households. All right. But they're so similar. We have a fixed earth sign in Taurus, and then we have fixed water in Scorpio. Taurus is physical security.

39:07 Scorpio is emotional. I need to know the vibes are right. I don't care how much money you have. I don't care how many material items you can give me. Are you honest? Will you be there when I call at 3 a.m.? Because I don't care how much money you have. Do I have your loyalty? Taurus is their personal possessions.

39:26 Taurus is not. What's your credit score? Because I need to know the financial stability of this connection. Scorpio is, well, we're it doesn't matter what it is, because together we can combine your good credit score with my cash reserve and be better together. We can have more power if we combine our forces.

39:43 And Taurus is like, you're not coming near my bank account. I work too damn hard for this. Taurus craves stability and comfort in their life. Scorpio sister wants intimacy and trust. It's like, hey, if I have your loyalty, I'll live in a tent outside with you. I don't care. If I have real good intimacy, if I trust you with everything, we're good.

40:06 Taurus is self-worth. Scorpio is vulnerability. Hmm. Taurus teaches us how to build the stability and appreciate what we have. Scorpio teaches us how to embrace change and trust what we cannot control. So it's simple between these two. Taurus says, I want to feel safe holding on to something or someone.

40:27 And Scorpio says, Well, I want to feel safe enough to let go. Ooh, as I see the beautiful. Ooh, that moon's getting big. I'm looking at it outside the window. Maybe I'll take a picture for you guys and post it on Substacks. You can see what I see while I record this. But she's getting big. We got a big juicy Taurus, full moon.

40:48 So these exact themes, pay attention to them. Of course, we'll have its own episode. But this full moon, I want to feel safe and sure with what I know. But the sun in Scorpio says it's time to trust that you can go recreate stability, that something can die, and something even more stable and more worthy can be born, reborn in its place.

41:11 Learning when to hold on and when to release is the theme of this full moon as it's in Taurus and the sun is in Scorpio. So, did we cover everything? We got the fix, we got the sister, the ruler, the scorpion. What else did I write down? Oh, a little progression because sometimes I find it's easier to understand this second language of the stars when you look at how it works upon each other.

41:37 Like the current retrogrades that we're all feeling through, evolving and growing through right now are preparing us for something in the future. Promise you that. And so each zodiac sign builds upon the lessons of the sign before it and prepares us for the sign that follows. So the progression from Libra season, which we're leaving now, into Scorpio season, that's beginning, and then Sagittarius season, that's a beautiful progression because it tells a story about relationships, transformation, and wisdom.

42:10 Q4 of every year. I love this time of year because the Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius dynamic, I think is just so beautiful and cleanses us before the new year in January. Well, calendar new year, not the zodiac new year. So Libra season, really quick, it prepares us for Scorpio season because it teaches us how to form relationships.

42:31 Scorpio teaches us how to deepen them. Libra is getting to know someone. Do we have the same interests? Do we have the same values? What's this like? But that surface level, how to coexist with another, how do we communicate, how do we compromise, how do we have harmony, maintain the harmony between us?

42:50 There's something in that that Libra can't fully teach us. Real relationships require more than harmony, they require trust and vulnerability. And that's where Scorpio comes in. We cannot truly deepen our relationship until we're willing to move beyond simply keeping the peace. Does that make sense? So Scorpio season that we're about to go into is teaching us or preparing us for Sagittarius season, which will come next.

43:17 Scorpio season obviously is teaching us how to transform and face change head on, knowing that something amazing will be reborn from it, from any loss. Sagittarius teaches us how to grow from that transformation and acquire wisdom from it. So once we've confronted and transformed something deep, something dark that we've pushed away, Scorpio season, transform something within ourselves, we're finally ready to expand, Sagittarius word, beyond the person we used to be.

43:49 So Libra season, recognizing imbalances and connections. Scorpio season, you're confronting the truth. Cannot avoid it anymore. In Sagittarius season, you found the Wisdom. You now understand a situation better. You see it from a higher vantage point, a bigger perspective. Let's use an example of a relationship.

44:10 In Libra season, you may realize you're compromising your needs to keep someone happy. So you begin questioning whether this relationship or this connection is fair. In Scorpio season, you dive deep. You start to realize that your fear of abandonment that you got from childhood has kept you, has kept you accepting behavior from another that hurts you.

44:32 That doesn't feel fair. You begin examining your emotional attachment style and you learn to establish boundaries, which is hard for you because you've never done it. You have to be reborn into being protective, scorpion, stinger, and setting boundaries and saying no to protect your peace and maintain equality.

44:49 And then in Sagittarius season, whether you break up with someone or stay with them, you now understand yourself better. You begin moving towards a bigger future, expanded horizon that's guided by these new values rather than your old fears. That's how one lesson naturally leads to the next. Make sense?

45:09 And then when we come back a month from now and talk about Sagittarius season, we'll reiterate what Scorpio season taught for Sag and what Sag is gonna hand to Capricorn season next. Now you could also uh just eliminate the zodiac signs of Libra, Scorpio, and Sag and use the cardinal sign, Libra, a fixed sign, Scorpio, immutable sign, Sagittarius.

45:31 Libra season initiates Scorpio season sustains and deepens. Sagittarius season adapts and expands. Capricorn season initiates. Um Aquarius season sustains and deepens something. Pisces season adapts and expands. That's how these things work together. And then of course, just using the real real world examples, um the autumn season for us here in the northern hemisphere will kick off during uh it kicked off during Libra season, initiates it.

46:05 Capricorn season initiates winter for us here. And so the equinox that happened at the beginning of Libra season, ushered in fall. Scorpio season is sustaining and deepening fall, right? All the leaves are dying off of trees, and you start to look around towards the end of Scorpio season, and everything looks dead and dark.

46:28 And then Sagittarius season is where we're like, okay, it's officially feeling like winter, and then Capricorn season right before Christmas on December 21st says, Yep, winter has arrived. I initiate this new season. So that's the zodiac's beautiful rhythm. Initiate, deepen, adapt. Initiate, deepen, adapt.

46:47 And then you just use the different zodiac signs to understand it. I feel like it deserves attention to talk about the empowered versus the disempowered side of Scorpio. I was gonna go through Scorpio and all of the placements, but it's pretty much the same for all of them. Venus, your value, how you love, um, the moon, how you emotionally react.

47:06 When those things are in Scorpio, you have the they're one of the same. They got the same foundation of the empowered side of them, emotionally honest, extremely transparent, but the disempowered side, emotionally manipulative. And sometimes they don't even know it. And this is any placement in Scorpio.

47:24 The empowered Scorpio energy trusts their intuition, the disempowered Scorpio energy assumes the worst in people. I just already reflecting on these things and then jumping into my own personal placements with this. Yeah, I do. It's really hard to let people in after you've gone through so many deaths and rebirths and relationships.

47:47 I do kind of feel myself getting to a point where I get so comfortable with being alone or just being with my select few people. And yet I tell myself as well that I'm simultaneously pushing away what could be new, loyal, badass relationships. And why would I starve myself of that, right? Um, empowered Scorpio placements, establish healthy boundaries, says no is a full sentence because they understand their emotional and energetic needs.

48:16 Disempowered Scorpio, I know this is kind of the street slang, is they control others. They're possessive and jealous. Yes, I did um a case study, although that was like four years ago. I should probably redo it with all the new stuff we have. I did a little case study on serial killers. I uh did a deep dive on the internet and found like the top 50 worst serial killers in America.

48:42 And I went and found their sun and their moon. And the number one combination is well, first, there were two parts to it. Mutable signs always take the cake for murder, serial killers, nasty shit. You would think it would be Scorpio, right? But mutable signs, I think they suffer the most from mental illness because their brains are so mutable, always doo doo doo doo doo just floating around.

49:06 Um, Sagittarius, fun fact, and medical astrology is one of the number one placements for um borderline personality disorders, schizophrenic. It's a very interesting perspective on that. The Vagus nerve, saggist, always gotta do your squats, your lunges, cycle, move those thighs. But the number one combination of the sun and the moon for serial killers, and again, this is very surface level, but it was fun, was Gemini and Scorpio.

49:30 Scorpio sun, Gemini moon. Gemini sun, Scorpio moon. It was those two together create quite the ticking time bomb. Okay, stop it. If you like have a kid that's a Gemini with a Scorpio moon, don't sleep with one eye open, don't. There's so much more to this data. I just thought that was an interesting correlation.

49:52 Little bit of mutable Gemini with a lata meta Scorpio grudge, and I don't know what it could be. I'll just dog them myself for a second. Sagittarius on the Scorpio moon. That is one of the top combinations for gang leaders. I researched gang leaders, especially when in the news the Venezuelan gang leaders were so hot.

50:13 What was it, like a year or two ago? I was like, I gotta see these guys' jargons, like they are gangsters like Mexican cartels, and it was Sagittarius Scorpio. All right. So, guys, I'm gangbanging. You guys are part of my astrology gang. You gotta go buy some merch so we match. What else? Empowered Scorpio knows their power.

50:38 That's actually a real thing. People with Scorpio, sun, moon, Venus, Mars, Mercury, they eventually grow into understanding their intensity, their strength, and their power over people, right? So many of us are in our fishbowl of our birth chart. We we can't see it, experience it like other people outside of us can.

50:58 And Scorpio is one of those that is like, I'm not intense. Uh, that's not me, I'm not dark, I'm not heavy, until you just really grow into it. Oh, maybe I am, but maybe that's my strength. So they use power responsibly. Disempowered Scorpio is engaging in power struggles, seeks revenge, obsessively searches for answers to their intuitions.

51:22 Scorpio placements, utilize that intuitive gut feeling to just make a change. Do not waste your time scouring the internet, investigating exes and friends, and although it's fun. Listen, I know it's a good time. Who doesn't love a good deep dive on the internet to figure out something? Like you come to me with someone you want to research because you think they're cheating, like can't control myself.

51:45 I will do a deep dive and research and give you the answer. I always say, should this astrology thing disappear or go away, I would definitely be a private investigator. Or I would love to work at the CIA and use astrology for it. So just gonna throw that out there into the universe. What else? Ooh. One thing Scorpio does that they gotta watch out for is they test others' loyalty.

52:10 They are like secretly asking questions, or I mean, come on, they are like top-notch investigators. It is just natural in them, but they're testing truth and testing your loyalty to them. Um, so that's one thing about Scorpios. I'm just remembering, they use pain as an opportunity for growth, they don't allow past wounds to dictate their present or their future.

52:35 I would say that pretty much rounds up the empowered and disempowered side of Scorpio. It just comes down to how we handle fear, vulnerability, and control. Because yes, Scorpio placements can be eerily controlling. And this is when you think of the word control, you think of abuse, and you should, but I want to share another personal example of being a Scorpio moon, conjunct Pluto, conjunct Venus, like it girls, Scorpio.

53:06 Um Mr. Virgo, do you want to come talk about how controlling I am? I'm sure he'd grab this microphone and be like, listen, you could who knows? But then we'd get in like a Virgo spirgo sag debate around who's more controlling and manipulative. We actually do say that to each other when we get in arguments or conversations.

53:25 We'll go, wait a second, I think I'm manipulating you and I didn't mean to, so I want to stop. Put it all out in the open, and you're like, Yeah, you probably were. Okay, sorry, I'm gonna walk away. Knee-jerk reactions. But in a previous relationship, I felt so bad for this person that they just live a really rough life.

53:46 Scorpio, tend to be attracted to the darkness, to the rough gang life, difficult life. It's just like alluring. Let me transform you, fix you, protect you. That I think my behavior got a little controlling. I would write this person's papers for school, for university. I would write their research papers because I was so easy, good at it.

54:04 English and writing was always my thing. I would do it. Just so naughty. I don't recommend that. Um, I would create a resume for them. I would submit job applications for them. I encouraged them to go to school, to community college to better their life. I encouraged them to come move in with me, my mom, and my brother because hey, we can help you.

54:24 But now that I reflect back on it, that that was very nice and that was very kind of me and selfless. Like that's beautiful to help someone. But at the same time, I was absorbing his consequences for his inactions. And that's not cool. And I think I was so sad, Scorpio. Like, I just have this big, intense aura to me that he was like, Okay, sure.

54:48 I mean, wow, thanks. Without saying, stop. I want to do this or stop. I don't want to do this, I don't want to go to school. And so I often reflect on that behavior of mine and I think was I I think that was controlling in a sense. I think that was some scrubby of control going on there. Like, let me control the outcome because I'll benefit from this in the future if we stay together.

55:08 I don't know. And so I often think about that and think, hey, let people be who they're gonna be. Even if they show you what you just prayed and hoped they wouldn't, that is data. And you do not need to control an outcome and force an outcome. Who's that? Lesson for me. Stop. Let the outcome be the outcome and decide what you're gonna do with that data from there.

55:28 But stop trying to control people around you to fit what you think will make you comfortable because it never ends up well for you. There you go. There's a Scorpio lesson. You're welcome. Disempowered Scorpio believes if I can control the situation, I can prevent myself from getting hurt or experiencing pain.

55:48 Gotta roll my own eyes and my own self. But empowered, 37-year-old Scorpio Steph understands that I cannot control everything that happens to me, but I can trust myself to navigate whatever comes my way. So think about that. Think about that during this Scorpio season. If you want to check your partner's phone because you think they are betraying you, don't.

56:12 Because you will always find something that will trigger you anyway, even if it really isn't that big of a deal and it's not betrayal. Empowered Scorpio season will communicate your fears. Hey, the story I'm telling myself is you're talking to someone else. Maybe it's just an insecurity of Mike, but can we talk about it?

56:30 Empowered Scorpio communicates their expectations and they recognize that trust cannot be forced. It is earned and then it is maintained, and we are human, and so it will typically be broken, and you have to actively choose to rebuild it and understand and give grace. It's just relationships, man. They have to be symbiotic and they're never fair.

56:54 But if you consistently choose to show up, then you can heal through anything. You can transform and grow Phoenix rising from the ashes through anything. So the highest expression of Scorpio season is not having power over someone or some situation, it's having power over your own responses, choices, and behavior.

57:15 Are you protecting your peace or are you protecting your fears? That is a Scorpio energy right there. Okay, let's wrap this up. These these episodes always go for so long. Thank you guys for listening if you're still here. I wanted to talk about how ironic the transits opening this Scorpio season were.

57:34 So the Venus retrograde and the Mercury retrograde. Found it quite ironic that those are orbiting opening Scorpio season. Sorry, I'm looking through my notes. Okay, here we are. October 23rd, Scorpio season begins, and Venus is reborn in Scorpio. Simply meaning Venus has been going retrograde in the sign of Scorpio since October 3rd.

57:57 She started at 8 degrees Scorpio. Backtrack, back it up, back it up, back it up. She is finally at zero degrees Scorpio conjunct, sitting right on top of, holding hands with a zero degree Scorpio sun. And in Venus's retrograde cycle, this is called going from an evening star into a morning star. Probably all summer here in North America, you saw Venus as an evening star at night.

58:21 I used to wave to her in the moon and say, Hi, you look so beautiful tonight. Well, now she's gonna be an early dawn, sunrise star. And this is the moment it all begins. Now she's gonna backtrack into Libra, which if you remember, go back and listen if you don't. This is now our time to say, okay, we see the fears, we see the darkness.

58:40 Lau, let's look at the whiteboard and see where we can bring things into balance. So, Venus, love, relationships, money, Scorpio, intimacy, trust, emotional attachments. Together, this Scorpio season, beginning with this retrograde, symbolizes a rebirth and how we love, who we love, what we value, and what makes us feel emotionally, maybe even financially, secure.

59:08 Ooh, think about someone who has spent years equating love with loyalty, even when the relationship is no longer healthy, but it's toxic. But they're like, well, we've been together for so long, they've been loyal to me, but it's like, but are you happy? I don't care how long you've been together. Do you feel good at home?

59:25 This Venus cycle could invite this person to reconsider their definition of a successful relationship. So again, it's not necessarily about ending a relationship, although that is a classic definition of it. It's about understanding why we choose what we choose. Why do I choose that person? Reflect on your past relationships, friendships, whatever.

59:46 Think, why did I allow that? Why was that okay with me back then? What what inside of me accepted that? That's it. That's all we're doing. So because Venus is gonna remain retrograde until mid-November, this rebirth doesn't mean we immediately have all the answers. It's just like a halfway point of Venus's long retrograde.

1:00:08 Now, October 24th, Saturday, right before the full moon, Mercury joins the party and stations retrograde in Scorpio, just hours after the Venus Kazimi. And it stations retrograde at 20 degrees Scorpio and travels back to five degrees Scorpio until November 14th, depending on where you live. So Mercury represents thoughts, communication, memories, how we process, relay, communicate information in Scorpio.

1:00:35 Mercury wants to investigate, it wants answers. I feel like all my Mercury and Scorpio people listen to this podcast, like, man, that'd be my best friend right there. You get a Scorpio moon and a Scorpio Venus and a Scorpio Mercury in the same room as your private investigative team, game over. They will find what you need in minutes.

1:00:55 It's child's play to them. So we want to understand the motivations beneath people's words and actions. Why are they not adding up? During a retrograde, this investigation turns inward. So during a Mercury retrograde, throughout Scorpio season, we may be reconsidering conversations in the past, revisit unresolved financial disagreements, question our assumptions about people.

1:01:21 Why are we thinking the worst about people? Or recognize emotional patterns that we've been repeating for years. Why? Are we not over it? Can we not forgive them? That is a big Scorpio theme. And ask me, Mr. Virgo, how we know is constantly bringing up the past. And you have to say, that's not who I am anymore.

1:01:39 I don't do that anymore. Some people will say, once a cheater, always a cheater. Sure, have your cake. But I don't agree with that. That does it predispose you to it, sure. But sometimes when people have experienced that and how much it sucks to either be the cheater or get cheated on, it's not fun, either party, they never do it again because it hurts so bad and it did not feel good.

1:02:01 And so that Scorpio energy is if I keep associating someone with who they were years ago, that becomes a me problem, unless they're genuinely still exemplifying those behaviors. But most people change and transform through that pain. The challenge with these retrogrades is learning the difference between intuition and suspicion.

1:02:23 So again, I don't recommend making any huge decisions. Can you imagine people getting engaged during this time frame? Oh my gosh. That's wild. Listen, if you if you're listening to this and someone proposes to you, ask them why. Say yes. If it feels right to you, of course, rock on. But you may need to have some conversations before the actual vows are exchanged.

1:02:47 But Scorpio can be an extraordinary investigator, but can also become obsessive when it doesn't have all the answers. So Scorpio season with these retrogrades is simply inviting us to ask questions without assuming the worst or holding people and things to the past. Well, I can't leave this job because the money is so good, but they treat me like crap.

1:03:07 And I think that there's an abuse of power and control here. And if I if I let this job go, am I guaranteed to make money somewhere else? Am I just gonna run into the same abuse of power in this new job? Why are you thinking that negative? What if it doesn't work out? But what if it does? And you get your autonomy and your power and you make more money.

1:03:27 What if it does? So Venus retrograde asks, what do I truly want? What do I truly need? And what do I actually value? Mercury retrograde asks, Well, what do I need to rethink or better understand? Or how can I communicate my wounds and fears differently? And the sun during Scorpio season asks, Am I willing to be honest with myself about what I discovered during this period?

1:03:52 Ooh, okay. I would wrap this up by saying, Venus is asking us to reevaluate what matters to our hearts, truly to our heart. Not what everybody wants you to do, not what the world says you should value to you. Mercury asks us to rethink the stories we've been telling ourselves. My favorite way to initiate a tough conversation.

1:04:12 Hey, the story I'm telling myself is. And the sun in Scorpio is illuminating the parts of our lives that we've been avoiding. Where it's felt heavy, it's cleaning out the closet, so to speak. So that doesn't mean your secrets are pouring out, other people's secrets are coming out, or that relationships are destined to fall apart.

1:04:30 No. We're being given an opportunity to understand ourselves so deeply, have more honest conversations with those we love and want to heal things with, and make conscious changes instead of continuously repeating old patterns that really don't harm anyone but ourselves. This is how I would explain Scorpio season.

1:04:53 And it starts with the quote I started with Are you holding on to something because it still reflects who you are? Or are you holding on to it because you're afraid of who you'll be forced to transform into without it? That's Scorpio season. Now remember, retrogrades, collect data, no big decisions. If you're traveling, give yourself a little extra time.

1:05:11 I will be traveling in my Tesla with the tire pump just in case I hit a flat or something. You know, little things like that with Mercury retrograde. And if you are born during a Mercury retrograde, this is your season to understand things. Um, what else do you guys hit me up with? If you have to sign a contract, well, is it something you've been thinking about, stirring on, processing for a while, or did this contract just pop up?

1:05:34 For example, if I don't know, on Halloween, you're like, you know what, screw this neighborhood. It's boring. I'm moving. And then the following week you go find an apartment and want to sign the lease or buy a house. I don't know if I do that like that. I might think about it until December and then make your move.

1:05:52 But it's surely to be a beautiful Scorpio season that there is us before and us after. I will be back to discuss this full moon in Taurus on the 25th, and then the new moon in Scorpio right at the 16th degree. Man, right on my moon and my Venus. I got Mercury going retrograde on my descendant, the new moon on my moon and Venus to the 16th degree.

1:06:15 I don't know what's going on, but you guys would definitely be a part of the ride. So be sure to check us out in the show notes. Visit the website, come do a reading with me. I'd love to meet you. And check out our substack where I like to post pictures. This morning with my morning coffee walk, I posted photos of my beautiful moonflowers that bloom at night and the smell.

1:06:33 Oh, it just sends you into a trance. But they bloomed and I haven't seen them all summer because it's so hot here. And I shared a photo. Twin moonflowers, two of them, it's usually just one at a time, blooming on twin moon ranch in the early morning sun. It was so fun. So check us out there. I will see you guys on the next episode.

1:06:51 Happy birthday, Scorpios. Thank you so much for your beautiful energy that you provide to the earth. And I'll see you guys on the next episode. Sending love from Twin Moon Ranch. Bye.
