The Sky Now - An Astrology Blog (October 23)

Sunday October 23, 2022 the Sun enters Scorpio.   In preparation for Samhaim next Monday, consider whether you are truly honoring all the generations of your ancestors and the sacrifices they made in their journey as you travel your own life-path now.  Never are we more aware of the cycle of life and death and death and life than during Scorpio Season.  Most people get better acquainted with their dark side during Scorpio Season each year.   Do not be afraid to see your shadow self, to know him/her/them, to understand that part of you and to practice self-acceptance as you become aware of all of your nature.  Emotions become intense in Scorpio Season.  Many are drawn to mystery, some into obsession.   Sexual energy is strong during Scorpio Season.  Passion rises.  Expressions of deep feeling prevail.  Conflicts come to a head.   Scorpio is a transformative sign and this Scorpio Season should prove especially transformative due to two eclipses that will occur.  

Venus transits into Scorpio as well on Sunday.  When Venus and the Sun are both in Scorpio passions are boosted even higher.  Expect this to an especially intense Scorpio Season brimming with intrigue, plots and scheming.  Politics and world affairs are the obvious cauldrons of chaos, but your workplace, friend groups or sexual romantic life could just as easily be affected.  People in relationships that are not sexually satisfying can feel compelled to taken action under these energies.  Some may look to transform the relationship in some core manner, others may seek out excitement and adventure in secret affairs.

Saturn went direct in Aquarius on Saturday and therapy time in the Aquarian ruled areas of life in your natal chart is now over.  Questions for you to consider in the coming days -  What have you learned about yourself and your journey over the past five months?  What do you need to change in yourself or in the structure of your life?  How can you best move forward?
