βInside the silence we find truth. We wither and we bloom. We grow into and out of people and relationships and ways of being and entire lives, both lived and unlived. We learn the boundaries and the edges of ourselvesβ Jeanette LeBlanc
A heads up! Truly, Madly, Deeply
Do you remember the Buddhist phrase:β Wherever you go, there you areβ, meaning that you canβt change your insides by changing your outsides? That it doesnβt matter how many new clothes, cars, trips, relationships you distract yourself with, thereβs no escape from yourself and your way of being in the world. It might be heaven or it might be hell but itβs all self-created. Well, this weekβs astrology brings this understanding to your attention.
On Wednesday, the Sun enters Scorpio right in the heart of the Via Combusta, the degrees between 15 Libra -15 Scorpio. Translated as βThe Burning Wayβ, this is one of the most inaccessible parts of the zodiac, ruled by both Pluto and Mars. The collective human soul is intuitively feeling the debilitation of the lights, noticing the thinning of the veils between worlds. Think about how many cultures connect the last days of October and the beginning of November with celebrating the dead? In America, Halloween; in Latin countries the Dias des Muertos; in Celtic and neo-pagan culture Samhain.
When the Sun and inner personal planets move through Scorpio as they are now, itβs a potent time for truth telling, burning away the dross to create renewal and regeneration-personally and collectively.
