Emerging out of the Venusian energy that permeated Libra Season, the collective tarot suggest we now understand what it means to become the person. Persistent effort to ground energy & stabilize resources and foundations has increased our strength for the new season. It seems obvious in hindsight that changes we make in expression should serve the self and our intended outcomes.

There is a clear but waning desire to pick up speed in pursuit of our ambitions. But that requires all our individual faculties be focused in one direction. Meaning? Our awareness of how to harness the conscious self and the ego/shadow ensures sustained progress forward. Confidence in the wisdom we’ve gained through experience definitely helped many find their way. The collective moves toward the future with greater discipline and likely social or business opportunities.

Determination to achieve has us opening more and more to change, but conflicts rooted in ego may have interfered in our efforts to stabilize or pursue contentment. Now, we know it won’t do to suppress our human need for connection. Any tension arising from imposing our will on others or they on us was muted by this self-assurance.

I mentioned in a personal transit journal, we “don’t have to choose between self-preservation and interdependence. In fact, each may very well be a requirement for the other to exist.” As we ease into Scorpio ♏ Season, many will find this new understanding manifests in more means and stronger bonds.

I get a distinct feeling of a demure but dangerous feminine energy from the cards that symbolize the surroundings sought out by the collective. We are looking to keep our skills, contacts, knowledge & personal power private out of self-interest. Apparently heightened intuition informs holistic self-awareness, leadership, creativity & business projects. We seem to be relying on combination of discretion and integrity to ensure success.
This combo can also point toward a person who takes covert action on our behalf or the ability to serve this role for someone else.

The personal power we channel into our foundations ought be balanced. Plan with a sense of responsibility not only to self but the impact you have on those around you. This spread suggests the prioritization of material experience, career goals & responsibilities. As eclipse season begins, we build with security and comfort in mind.

However, I can’t help but notice how much fire energy appears in the ‘Present’ portion of the spread. Daughter & Son of Sticks (Page & Knight of Wands) show we know of the need to begin new ventures, take risks & express the creative self. Nevertheless, we may be moving erratically or just too damn fast. Where we might be tempted to rush away from difficult dynamics and decisions into more exciting or rewarding ones, a pause is likely better.

There is a need for strategy in both actions and communications. It seems some people around us may hold resentment, distrust or other unclear motives based on previous conflict. Most of us are, in some way, changed after the many retrogrades of summer. Any remaining urgency toward the future can be used to manipulate us into making mistakes and contacts that patience can prevent.

I said we shouldn’t be in a hurry to run away from the sources of disagreement. However, we are supported by this spread in detaching. Walk away from humans and circumstance that promise beyond capacity or show no intent to meet our needs or match our efforts in balanced exchange. Re-evaluate pending endings for opportunities to resolve or resume progress. This’ll eliminate need to race in our pursuit of new goals and relations. You got food (& friends) at home. The grass is greener where you water, and snakes scatter when you mow your own.

Establishing emotional interdependence in the aftermath eases the transition into a more detached stance. We’ll get over what no longer fits. Also, it’ll be easier to spot sources of sincere support when we objectively observe. The actions of others and the consideration they show for us won’t be missed. Again, slow up just a bit.

We must be careful, especially at the first week in Scorpio Season as The Fool energy from ⚖️Season has a different impact as Mars ♂️ goes retrograde on October 31. Seeking experience for its own sake can teach us much. Without purpose or focus, though, we run the risk of needlessly circling fleeting impulses and missing out on filling new bonds, valuable resources & opportunities to excel.

Running away from uncomfortable events and truths that paint us in harsh light is a waste of our evolutionary potential in general but especially now. Scorpio ? is a sign of transformation into better by facing our worst. This month, avoidance will impact our pockets and partnerships. So, let’s do be thoughtful about what to release and what to repurpose or repair.

While navigating this period of fixed water, we’ll likely find clarity in our still, solitary moments. We must, of course, make conscious effort to use new information. The effect external energy has on us can be channeled in service to our material foundations and creative goals. Many will find limits and delays at every turn should we refuse to align our perspectives and behaviors with the deeper truth playing right now.

The trigger this season is someone who seeks to benefit in some way from our resources or practical efforts. Collectively, our priority might be security and stability for the future. But what is the true value of extra resource without relation? The cards say whatever favors asked of us are likely to be returned. We should choose wisely without losing sight of the heart with which generosity is acted upon. No expectation of response or reward.

Transforming our material experience or creating legacy wealth will inspire other great reformation in us collectively. From fear to fortitude, whimsy to realism, then intent to activity. The tarot advice is that allowing change to penetrate our outlook effectively propels a snowball effect. (Note the progression of cards XII, XIII, XIV from incoming to outcome.)

Welcome your own altering viewpoints, adjust attitudes, release problem behaviors, and speak with compassionate honesty. The result is a powerful balance between personal authority, responsibility & the internal peace that fuels even greater evolutions and manifestations to come.
I wish you all peace, safety, and endless joy!
