According to Sandy

On October 22, Pacific Time, and October 23, 2013, Eastern Time, the Sun moved into Scorpio the 8^th sign of the Zodiac. It brings intensity and deep feelings and can take partnerships to new sensual, sizzling heights.

With its traditional planet ruler Mars (energy and aggression) and its co ruler Pluto, (power and transformation) any superficial skimming of the surface just won’t do. Save the relationship “lite” for another time. Although, being too passionate and emotional may cause us to get wrapped up in life’s drama and then discover that the resulting “overwhelm” does not quite match the situation. Nothing wrong with using an internal pause button when dealing with friends and loved ones to give us a chance to think, rather than just react.

Mercury, communication planet, will be transiting Scorpio (including its 3 week Retrograde period) until December 5, 2013. Saturn, planet of discipline, perseverance, and boundaries, will be visiting Scorpio until December 2014. The demand for the “real”, in conversation and action, goes up a few notches.

Regardless of where it appears in your personal chart, we can accomplish a lot during this time using Scorpio’s power and focus. But also remember that laughter can be used as a balm to stabilize, bring things into perspective and lighten the atmosphere. Save any overflowing angst and/or grudges for another day – it may dissipate as the mood changes.

Sun into Scorpio – 10/22/12 11:10PM Pacific / 10/23/13 2:10AM Eastern

*Gemstone: Topaz *Power color: Deep shades of red * Body Part: Reproductive system

Potent, powerful, persistent, passionate OR, stubborn, secretive, sensitive, sensual. (I sort of exhausted all my S’s and P’s) I couldn’t decide on which group of adjectives to use for the mysterious 8^th sign if the Zodiac. I’ve decided that it isn’t an either / or, the depth and strength of this Water sign can handle all descriptions. The Sun will heat and be heated by its Scorpio transit beginning on Monday October 22, 2012.

Where does Scorpio, ruled by power and transformation planet Pluto, appear in your chart”, Sun sign, Ascendant, Moon? Regardless of the House placement, a Scorpio Sun brings intensity and deep feeling to us all. Many times when confronted with an issue, there will only be an either yes or no response – no compromise. “Maybe” will not be acceptable. It is black or white with no shades of grey. Especially now with Saturn, planet of discipline, perseverance, and boundaries, visiting until December 2014, the demand for real life, well defined positions, along with some hard edged decisions will be amped. Superficial skimming the surface, in conversation or action, just won’t do.

Note that deep and fierce stuff can lead to all sorts of “feelings” that you may not be prepared to confront. So, don’t be surprised if emotionality occasionally goes unchecked. Often, the resulting “overwhelm” may not quite match the situation. There is nothing wrong with using an internal pause button to give us a chance to think, rather than just react. We can accomplish a lot during this time using Scorpio’s power and focus. But also remember that laughter can be used as a balm to stabilize, bring things into perspective and lighten the atmosphere.

Scorpio: 10/22/12  8:14PM Eastern / 5:14PM Pacific  

The Scorpio Sun can infuse us with passion and focus to get projects accomplished, snare that love interest and drill down thru any mysteries that need to be solved. (Think “determination”) Due to the characteristic sensitivity and emotionality of Water signs, Scorpio’s power will not be served distant and cold – there will be drama, there will be depth. Scorpio heat arrived on Sunday October 23, 2:30PM Eastern / 11:30AM Pacific. 

Scorpio is our 8^th sign of the Zodiac. It brings intensity and deep feeling.

Save the relationship “lite” for another time. Note that this deep and real stuff can lead to all sorts of “feelings” that you may not be prepared to confront. So, pay attention, you may get all wrapped up in the emotion and possible acting out scenarios and then discover that the resulting “overwhelm” does not quite match the situation.

The Scorpio Sun arrives on Saturday October 23^rd (8:35AM EDT/ 5:35AM PDT) and can infuse us with passion and force to get projects accomplished, capture that love interest and drill down thru any mysteries that need to be solved. (Think “determination”)

Due to the characteristic sensitivity and emotionality of Water signs, Scorpio’s power will not be served distant and cold – there will be drama.

Scorpio our 8^th sign of the Zodiac brings intensity, energy and depths of feeling.  Since warrior planet Mars, its traditional planet ruler (co-ruler is Pluto), is transiting Scorpio until 10/28 the power is really amped.  Any superficial skimming of the surface, in conversation or action,  just won’t do – if there are mysteries to be solved, secrets to be uncovered, this is a great time to do it. Time for a reveal?

However, as always – pay attention, you may get all wrapped in all the emotion and acting out and then discover that the “overwhelm” does not quite match the situation.

Laughter can be used as a balm to stabilize, bring things into perspective and lighten the atmosphere.  Save any overflowing aggression and/or grudges for another day. It will all probably dissipate as the mood changes.
