Scorpio, Mars, the Planet of Action, has begun its two-month retrograde in the sign of Gemini, and this is the first full week of Mars Retrograde. The last time Mars was retrograde was two years ago, so such a transit always marks a significant turning point in one’s life, where you’re being asked to re-evaluate your current priorities, passions, and purpose. We’re still in the midst of an eclipse passage — on November 8 we’ll experience a Total Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Taurus. This means that Mars Retrograde can actually work in our favor by asking us to slow down and stop rushing.
During this potent eclipse passage, we don’t have to make immediate decisions about our life journeys, our relationships, our financial endeavors, or our fears. We can instead become patient observers of the feelings, thoughts, emotions, and actions that emerge within us. The more we look at our lives from a spirit of curiosity and openness to the unknown, the more pleasantly surprised we’ll feel by this transit, and this experience here on Earth.
Now, that’s not to say that everything will be smooth-sailing as October ends and November begins. Mercury, the Planet of Communication, is now in our sign, as well as Venus, the Sun, and the South Node. That means everything is feeling quite intense and potent — even more than usual. And that means we may also lose our patience or become impulsive if we don’t find a way to ground ourselves amidst this turbulent water energy in the cosmos. Since there won’t be an abundance of planetary action between October 30 and November 8, this is the week where you’ll feel prepared to infuse your heightened energy toward passion projects you may have previously procrastinated on or delayed. Mars Retrograde can actually help you pick them back up and complete it, as long as you take things step by step.
Mid-week, the Pisces Moon can lead to you having a serendipitous connection with a lover. This is Jupiter’s first full week back in Pisces, and it’ll remain there until December 20th. Since Scorpio’s sector of fate, true love, and adventure is activated by the Moon and Jupiter in Pisces, you may find that your heart opens up more than usual this week, and you’re completely more mushy-gushy and romantic than you would’ve previously expected. You’ll be more open to the romantic advances that feel genuine and courageous, so your mission is to become aware of your own limiting beliefs that may emerge as you ask yourself, “Is this too good to be true? Can this even be real?” The answer is yes, Scorpio. It’s real. And no, Scorpio, it’s not too good to be true. It’s what you’ve asked for, subconsciously and consciously, time and time again, and now that Jupiter’s in Pisces your manifestation powers are deepening, especially when it comes to love! This is a powerful time to play my Love Mantra on repeat and take in the affirmations as you attract and maintain the intimate desires that feel orgasmic and free.
