Venus in Scorpio: The Thief of Sleep

Image
Did you see yesterday’s eclipse in Scorpio? Did you feel it?   The Sun Venus and Moon are now together in the sultry sexy sign of Scorpio (Venus: until November 17 th) . Not only does the scorpion rule sex, death and taxes, she also takes us deep into the underworld to access what hides beneath the surface appearances of things. This is the land of depth psychology and emotional transformation/rebirth. As Venus, planet of love and relating,   travels through Scorpio’s realm, she will access the shadow world of the unconscious . This is not the time for superficiality or getting caught up in what is trivial. This is the time to forge deep, meaningful bonds through soul-to-soul communication and true intimacy. Leave behind your faded old projections and shed those rigid, inflexible armours you hope will protect you. Venus in Scorpio asks us to be emotionally authentic as we continue the unfolding of our innermost self. “This Venus is the embodiment of Sophia,

The period between two eclipses is especially powerful. The Full Moon eclipse two weeks ago in Libra highlighted relationships and the underlying polarization of 'self' and 'other'. (see last post by scrolling down).  And although a full moon

Full Moon Eclipse in Aries: We are all in this Together!

"Today’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse has the potential to be a huge turning point for all of us.  Occurring at 2:50 am EDT, 7:50 am GMT etc… this powerful Full Moon eclipse sits at the Moon’s South Node, which represents the past. The Moon is conjunct Uranus in Aries, which in combination with the eclipse  represents a sudden break with the past.  Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love.    Venus is sitting with the Sun on the North Node on Libra.  This is a hint as to what we need to embrace now.  Eclipses signify endings and new beginnings, so something will be let go of now that will not return. Long term effects may ripple out over several months, but the seeds of change are being planted now.  This is an excellent time to release old grudges and festering resentments, as well as situations that are just not working. What is not useful for our growth will drop away now. Its  time to evolve beyond those limiting ideas we have about ourselves (I
