catharsis, cleansing, and purification.
sidereal scorpio season companion (november 16 - december 15)
on november 16, the sun enters sidereal scorpio, joining mercury, answering to mars in sidereal cancer. compared to last year’s scorpio season under the rulership of mars in scorpio, this year’s scorpio season mirrors in intensity and emotional rawness. mars in cancer ruling this season + stationing retrograde in december creates environments of emotional stress, tension, irritation, vulnerability, the potentials of courage, strong reactions and responses, and everything in between.
scorpio, as the fixed water domicile of mars, is where we explore themes of emotional investments, the risks we take for closeness + depth of connection, and the many changes, transformations, and losses we experience in relationship. the evolutionary stage of scorpio sees us confronting our own psychological + emotional impulses, exploring the contents of our inner world and undergoing the varied alchemical and transformational processes that accompany development.
scorpio is where we explore our emotional defenses, our sense of emotional self-preservation, and where we cleave bonds with those things that keep us from becoming more authentic and empowered, eager to go out into the world curious to experience more (sagittarius) even after we’ve been hurt, traumatized, isolated, and afraid.
“scorpio is the water that remembers what hurts us because it's how we transform our definitions of safety, of intimacy, of what being ‘close’ is, and move accordingly.”
- regenerative waters
this solar season is an opportunity to get incredibly familiar with the water element, our bodies, our relationship and emotional investments, and taking stock of what needs to be severed and released and what is evolving and transforming. this is a season of catharsis, cleansing, and purification.
