It's important to understand Scorpio energy whether you have it in your chart or not because various planets travel through Scorpio throughout the year, activating this deep penetrating, watery energy. It pushes us to go deeper and want more. If you're feeling more intensely dissatisfied lately, thank Scorpio energy for that. She wants you to deal with it and claim what you desire. This energy pushes us to face and deal with things we'd rather not. It keeps us up late at night processing complex emotions.

If you surrender to this energy, it becomes a season for healing... particularly around our secrets, sexuality, addictions, grudges and death. This is the perfect time to examine your feelings and beliefs about death, reincarnation, past lives, and other "taboos."

You may feel torn between hiding insecurities and vulnerabilities or courageously releasing them creatively as a strategic power move. So this is the perfect time to push through and finish any ideas you started working on during Libra season. Scorpio season gives us a deep stability, compelling us to channel our feelings into seriously focused work and creativity.

Be mindful of Mercury being in Scorpio from Oct 24th until Nov. 12th. Communication may be more intense, probing, sharp, obsessive, analytical, and profound. You feel compelled to discuss more deep personal issues or be more secretive. Be sure to do root chakra and throat chakra work over the next few weeks. Meditating with crystals can assist with this process. Here are some the best crystals to work with during this time:

Aquamarine for deep meditation, peace, serenity, increased spiritual connection, communication with spirits, protection from gossip/negative talk, wisdom to see truth.

Malachite provides protection, gets rid of nightmares, promotes business success, and balance in relationships. It's also said to be a mirror to the soul and will reflect or bring your inner self outward & to light whether good or bad.

Hematite protective, grounding, harmonizing mind body and soul

Garnet balances the root chakra, promotes self confidence, strengthens hope and trust. It's also said to cure depression, increase spiritual awareness, aid in search of past life information, support transformation and stimulate business success.

Jasper promotes strength, security, courage, and stability. It also eases stress, promotes balance & repels fears or nightmares.

It's also a season of intense psychic energy where more intuitives, healers, brujas, and witches feel compelled to bond and share resources. Empaths, mediums, energy readers all those with strong 3rd eye gifts must be particularly careful this season but may also be feeling intensely more powerful. Use it wisely.

From Oct. 28-Nov. 1st we'll feel the energy of

the New Moon,

Halloween,

Samhain,

The Day of the Dead

and

Diwali festival of lights holy day

celebrating Lakshmi, Hindu goddess of prosperity

This is the perfect time for visiting burial grounds of loved ones, sprucing up ancestral altars, reconnecting to your past lives, and remembering your roots as you do root chakra work and set intentions for your future.

This is also a great time to strengthen your studies and relationship to orisha goddess Oya as she guards the gates between earth and the spiritual realm, rules over cemeteries, helps us be more strategic, warrior spirits and guides us through change with courage. Like Oya, Scorpio season says "Whether you like it or not you gone' get this work."
