The Sun moves into Scorpio today at 11:30a PDT, and with it comes quite a few decisions about the directions of our lives. Profound changes are about to occur…if they aren’t already occurring.
In all areas and aspects of our lives, long-term relationships, long-present resource structures, and long-held belief systems are being replaced or altered. With Scorpio running the show, there is nothing sacred right now. The collective desire for change is strong, and Scorpio deals with change in extremes. It’s all-or-nothing when Scorpio is making choices, therefore choices tend to be more like decisions with Scorpio than with any other sign. However, to find out which areas of your own life may be most affected by this time of profound change, it will depend on which area of your own personal astrology chart Scorpio resides in.
For example, Scorpio resides in the 3rd house of my personal astrology chart, but it doesn’t sit on either cusp of the house. Therefore, Scorpio is considered to be “intercepted” in the 3rd house between Libra and Sagittarius.
The 3rd house is about communication, learning, and one’s mental process. With Libra on the opening cusp of the 3rd house in my chart, I thrive on one-on-one communications and interactions with others – I am passionate about them. When it comes to exchanging information and ideas, I prefer exchanging one-on-one. More information and clearer insights seem to come to me through more intimate interactions than from group or mass communications.
The key word in that last sentence is ‘intimate’, for that is how Scorpio shows up for me in my communications and thinking. I like getting below the surface of people and getting to the heart of matters with them – finding out what really drives them and what really has them feel the way they feel about things. There is no subject or action that is taboo for me. Whether it is spirituality, sexuality, current events, politics, religion, race, etc., if it’s important to the person I’m talking to, I’m often willing go there because it’s an opportunity for me to learn what is important to them and why it is important to them. I like discovering and figuring out what makes people tick and what they really think and feel about certain matters through my one-on-one conversations with them.
And the exploration isn’t a one way street. Due to Libra’s need for fairness and balance at the beginning of the house, Sagittarius’ crusade for truth, growth and expansion at the end of the house, and especially with Mercury in Sagittarius as the last planet residing in the 3rd house of my chart, I have no problem sharing with others the more intimate thoughts and details of my own life if they want to know.
The fact that Scorpio shows up in my life in this way brings light to the area of my life in which profound change is likely to occur.
I am currently writing the first Life By Soul™ book, I have been writing a lot- much more than I should be for each of the Life By Soul™ combinations. It became clear when I brought a segment of the book to my recent writers’ group meeting and we found that I was being redundant saying the same things over and over again, over-explaining the crucial elements of each combination. One of my group co-members suggested I change the format so I can get to my points more quickly. The message was pretty much, “Shut up and get to the point!” It wasn’t mean-spirited, but it was direct…and it resonated.
This redundancy thing also shows up in my “day job”. My other job is as a sales agent for a major cable telecom provider, yet most of my previous work experience has been as a customer service representative. I find that I am used to problem-solving and explaining things to people. This method works in customer service, but it doesn’t work in sales. For sales, I’m talking and explaining way too much and I end up confusing my customers which results in their wanting to think things over or their not wanting to buy from me. My sales numbers are not as good as they could be as result, and it’s a very frustrating position for me to be in.
I went for a long walk/run after the writers’ group meeting, and it dawned on me just how often I go on explaining and repeating myself in every area of my life! THIS is that the area I get to focus my changes on is my communication style. I now understand that I really do talk too much and explain too much and how! The fact is…I don’t need to say so much to make my point, and I don’t need to explain anything unless the customer asks me to explain. I need to teach myself to listen more and talk less – I get to be more silent and to give my words more value in the process of communicating with others.
Note that the New Moon occurs in Scorpio at 12:57p PDT this Wednesday October 26th, only three days after the Sun enters the sign. This makes this week a perfect time to initiate whatever profound changes are needed in your life in these areas of your life that are driven by your emotional depths. You may want to consider making choices for your life in that area(s) Scorpio resides in your chart that are based upon the inner truth you really feel rather than by only what is practical and tangible.
Just be aware that the changes you choose to bring to your life may also bring some challenges to the more stable and long-term relationships you are part of. Just because it’s a good time to start changes doesn’t necessarily mean that actually making them will be a fun or easy process. In fact, it may take quite a bit of effort to make these changes happen, but well worth it in the long run if you are truly determined to manifest the life you want.
