I've felt all those emotions that I see moving through everyone else – anger, frustration, fear and nastiness – and I've had to stop myself and ask, Why are you so angry? Why are you feeling disdain for people who don't agree with you? Why, when you choke on the hypocrisy and the mudslinging, don't you respond with clarity of thought and a compassionate heart? Why should 'they' keep me from taking the moral high road?
These are Scorpio questions. In answering these questions I found that I had to admit to my own negative feelings. I had to get humble quickly and stop blaming the 'other guy' for being nasty, just because I was only thinking nasty thoughts rather than saying them out loud. When I let go of the anger and frustration I was feeling, something else came up for me.
Pity. I felt pity for all of us. Knowing that anger and fear don't feel good, I wonder why we chose them over love and trust. Why do we chose war instead of love?
I can hate the lies but pity the people who tell the lies and those that buy into the lies because they don't know how to think for themselves. I can be saddened by people who feel they can be vicious while feeling virtuous, because they refuse to recognize the truth that it's their own shadows they are struggling with. I can only shake my head over people who think they won't have to face the repercussions of the fear they've created in themselves. I can have compassion for the people who are so afraid they'll do anything and believe anything to rationalize old beliefs they think keep them safe.
I can transform my darkest feelings during Scorpio's transformative time.
In this Scorpio season of Samhain (see All Hallows Eve story) when we honor our dead and their wisdom, we need to honor the spirit of freedom which our forefathers fought for and which they saw as our inalienable right as human beings. At this season, we need to let go of what we've outgrown and reclaim what we need for new life. We need to let the old die so that new life can come back into our private as well as our collective lives. We need Scorpio to show us how to get over our fear of change and death.
Americans are showing our true colors – both on the left and on the right. We need to stop seeing this election as if we are adversaries. There is no 'real America' 'pro-America' part of our country. We are all America – the good, bad and ugly. Let's unite as Americans and be humble enough to see ourselves in each other.
Let's ask the Divine Spirit of Light to give us a moment of clarity to really see ourselves and each other and see what is at stake in our world. That's the gift of Scorpio. Once we get through the darkness, we'll have the wings and eyes of the Eagle. We'll see without fear.
