On this intense Scorpio solar eclipse, take the hero's path.
Come with me to the Underworld. Travel down into the depths of death. As you descend, you find your way barred by a solid wooden door. Saturn guards this door and asks if you are willing to face what lies beyond it. Uranus and Pluto tell you that you are at a crossroads. Will you choose fear or will you choose courage? Behind that door lie the feelings you don't want to look at, that you don't want to admit to, that you don't want to face. Behind that door lie shame, loss, betrayal, sado-masochistic urges towards cruelty and the delight in giving and receiving pain. Behind that door lies the terror of death in the form of monsters and demons. Behind that door lies your selfishness, your indifference, your loneliness, your sense of abandonment. Behind that door lies your ego's death. Are you ready to face yourself? The Sun and Moon in Scorpio say you are.
So open the door and embrace your humanity. Let yourself feel all those feelings you've been afraid to acknowledge. Use Mercury retrograde to name the feelings. Use Jupiter and Venus to accept and love them. Use Neptune and Chiron's healing energies to open you to the Collective Unconscious and show you Spirit's gracious love which forgives you. Let the Mother Goddess Ceres hold you secure in her embrace. From this cosmic standpoint, listen to those feelings and understand what they say about you. Give them meaning. And when you are done acknowledging them, LET THEM GO! Pull the plug and drain out that dark pool. And let new feelings flow through you. Don't try to understand them yet. Just be refreshed by them.
May your journey be fruitful!
