Happy Birthdays, Scorpios!
Nov 19, 1962 Alicia Christian “Jodie” Foster is an American actress and filmmaker who has worked in films and on television. She has often been cited as one of the best actresses of her generation. See her chart!
She says: I make dark dramas, movies about people living in desperate fear who then overcome that fear and find a heroic side to themselves. With FOUR planets, Neptune, Venus, Mercury and Sun, in Scorpio, that sounds very right. Dark is Scorpio’s domain. All those planets in her 11th (Aquarian house) give her shock value! Silence of the Lambs and Panic Room!
IQ 132 is no surprise with her Moon in smart Virgo conjunct Uranus, the Aquarian planet of genius! Jodie Foster is also highly educated, having earned a degree from Yale University in literature.
Mars in Leo gives her powerfully heroic action and is a rights fighter, leader! As a child, she was attacked by a lion (Leo) and carried briefly in its mouth while filming Disney’s Napoleon and Samantha (1972)!
Jupiter in Pisces in the 3rd house of communications lets her learn languages easily! She has a good ear for listening to nuances. Fluent in French by age 14, she spoke her own lines in the film Stop Calling Me Baby!(1977), the film A Very Long Engagement (2004) and the film The Brave One (2007). She learned spanish at a young age. She was also fluent in Italian by age 18. That’s 4 languages!
That Jupiter also gives her the empathy to engage her roles as if she were that character! Three planets, Moon, Uranus and Pluto in Virgo, give her a plethora of vital details that nail it! Her first significant role came in 1976 as a child prostitute in Taxi Driver, for which she received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She won an Academy Award for Best Actress in 1989, for playing a rape victim in The Accused. In 1991 she starred in The Silence of the Lambs as Clarice Starling, a gifted FBI trainee, assisting in a hunt for a serial killer, winning Jodie her second Academy Award for Best Actress and establishing her as an international movie star. Sexuality and murder hunts are primal Scorpio themes. She’s an astonishingly gifted woman.
Scorpios are noted for their needs for privacy, holding secrets. Jodie has 2 sons but won’t state who their father is, speculated to be Randy Stone or Mel Gibson. And she’s lesbian. Her ‘eccentricity’ is related to her Moon, women, conjunct Uranus, the planet of different. It took a long time before she came out publicly. But she did in 2007. For many years she had been been a secret donor to Randy’s charity, the Trevor Project, giving more than £300,000, named after the short film, Trevor, for which Stone won an Academy Award in 1994. The charity aims to help young people struggling with their sexuality.
Strongly philanthropic Aquarian, Jodie has also supported the Clothes Off Our Back, GO Campaign, National Alliance on Mental Illness, Small Steps Project, and St. Francis Food Pantries and Shelters.
Food for thought. Scorpio, sign of therapists, Jodie says ‘Being understood is not the most essential thing in life.’

Scorpio 2017 – 2018 Celestial Highlights!
![Scorpio Phoenix Constellation Seen Only at Samhain [Halloween]!](https://santabarbaraastrologer.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/scorpio-phoenix-constellation.jpg?w=500&h=271)
Leo is the cat with 9 lives. Scorpio rises again! It is the Phoenix that rises from its own ashes!
If you are brave enough to venture out on Samhain night, Halloween, and if it is a moonless night, you will find an enchanting array of stars emblazoned across the celestial sphere. This year it is close to the Nov 3 Full Moon.
Rising along the southern horizon, Phoenix, an obscure constellation, spreads its wings into the night sky around 10:00 P.M. Its highest star, in the center, is Ankaa. Although the constellation will never fully rise in the Northern Hemisphere, most of it can be seen only at Samhain [Halloween], remaining true to its elusive mythological nature. It is also a significant Samhain observation, as the phoenix is a symbol of death and rebirth. Search the sky along the horizon directly south (appropriately enough, the direction associated with elemental fire), to find Phoenix rising. The bright star Fomalhaut (part of the constellation Pisces) serves as your guide. Just above the treetops, Fomalhaut will be above and to the right of Phoenix’s wings.
Thank you, Granny Moon.

Outer Planet Transit Aspects Scorpio 2017 – Nov 2018!
Lighting the Path with nature’s rainbow magic in the Night…
Worldwide Scorpio’s work will be significantly involved, one way or another, with disaster cleanup and recovery, environmental matters, this next year. Water and purification will play a strong part. Dangerous structures, mental and physical disease prevention will require attention. Scorpio carries the internal and eternal Light in the Darkest of times, the Pathfinder shwoing us the ways to release what’s keen and fine in us!
Four outer planets, Uranus, Chiron, Saturn and Jupiter, are changing signs in Scorpio’s year to come. Expect several maturities, intense endings, primal new beginnings and exciting new intentions with potent new people!
Pluto in Capricorn reaches the beginning of the last third of Capricorn May 2018 moving from 16 to 21 degrees. Pluto is Scorpio’s planet and in Capricorn is in a harmonious sextile sign, an earth and water mix. A darn good business person estimating time and money to the inch! Water and earth Pluto and Capricorn are in natural harmony with Scorpio. They have been and will be showing Scorpio the powerful distillation of techniques, practices tested by the expert elders before them, that have stood the tests of Time. There may be a serious commitment to be made before joining the ranks, but the reward may be worth it forever. Just be sure you want to know and owe that much. Will you have freedom to make changes of your own?
Neptune is in its own sign, a water Planet in the last water sign seeking a deeper side of life. Neptune is oceanic – is still like glass becalmed, has forever tidal cycles, titanic storms, tsunamis! Those of you with chart factors between 11 and 16 degrees will be activated with this pure energy. Pisces is one of the rare signs that can see more than Scorpio, the greater picture. A Scorpio who knows his own blind spots can engage Pisces to open more gateways. The tides of Neptune can cleanse Scorpio, who doesn’t trust this to just anyone. The relief of the cleansing of invisible debris is beyond words. Scorpio has held some secrets so long he forgets he no longer needs to hold them, forgot he had! The Phoenix has lain hidden, a faint ember. Now with open space, renewed air flow, the flame grows bright again, the Kundalini is back!
Uranus covers 24 Aries to 2 Taurus! Uranus enters Taurus May 15, 2018! Those of you with factors in these last degrees will be accomplishing the maturity of Uranus in Aries, strengthening the final touches to secure the foundation of the future that Taurus will build on. Change worthy ideas need to be instilled, spread far and wide to create a support network, cleverly woven into our daily fabric so they become a part of us, effortlessly carried on.
Uranus is the planet of Aquarius, so unique that utter freedom is a automatic. In Aries, the First of everything, it is kin to Aquarius the Awakener! Aquarius is way ahead of its time; Aries is the first to DO it! Fire and electricity make the world go around! It comes to Scorpio like an invitation or an irresistible corruption! Scorpio loves intensity and it’s like a moth to the flame, LOL! Scorpio loves to see what makes things tick, and Uranus in Aries can’t be bought, so what’s the story?! Scorpio likes his safety, yet like a cat with 9 lives, recovers again and again, so he’s off, perhaps pretty quietly, to check things out. Once out of the lair, who knows what will happen?! He may return with new skills, or vanish never to be seen again, having more fun than one could have ever thought of!
Uranus in Taurus invents simple. Taurus tries out the application. It needs to be easy to use, worth the effort. It calls for a steady and practical solution. But Uranus is the Earth Shaker and there may be clusters of shakes! Your life may be loosened, electrified, askew, a bit out of control. Understatement. Scorpio will be quite aware of Uranus in Taurus it’s opposite sign. They make a symbolic T Square, the effect of 90 degrees apart. Uranus rules Aquarius, mid sign to Taurus and Scorpio, shaking all their foundations. When the Earth changes shapes, Scorpio’s water flow is also without control, following new channels due to the shifts in gravity. No choice but to go. Observation points change. Strength counts. In your own life, anticipate the possibilities. Explore in advance as possible. If areas in your life need shoring up, get to it. If you are up for the ride, get the best darned river raft you can lay your hands on and keep up with your workouts!
Chiron, like Neptune is also in Pisces, covers 24 Pisces to 2 Aries, the same degrees but different signs than Uranus! These are the last and first of the zodiacal signs! Pisces believes, Aries initiates. Chiron enters Aries April 17 2018! Chiron will activate any factors you have in those degrees. If you have Chiron in those degrees and signs, you will be having your Chiron Return! Wounds and vulnerabilities will be assessed. Updated healing systems will be applied with unbelievable results! Medical teaching will be inspiring, especially about vision and feet while in Pisces, and the head and eyes when in Aries. The Magi Society thinks Chiron is the #1 marriage factor and good in business.
Chiron the Healer is fluid in Pisces, takes only a moment to assess a situation. Though also in Pisces, Neptune is between 11 and 17 degrees while Chiron is in the last degrees, 24 to 29. Your chart factors need to match up with these degrees for them to have effect. Neptune is the Dreamer visionary spiritualist musician, while Chiron is seeking healing, teaching, right relationships and good business. Chiron may approach it from Neptune’s point of view, however because they are both in Pisces, Neptune’s sign! Scorpio’s best strategy is to be ready to receive the healing. They are used to being the healer themselves, so may lose a little time initially getting used to the idea that what they know isn’t all of it! What they’ve got is good, but there IS more! Chiron lays out some subtle relationship insights, business understanding that seems more magical than money making, but pans out anyway, especially in the long term. Sexuality itself is likely to be such a pervading softening experience that you forget who you are or were…orgasm is only a part of a greater unfolding.
When Chiron goes into Aries for 9 years. through 2027, it will speed up healing at an enormous rate! We will process many challenges with unproven but successful results. Yes, there will be some rash attempts, but quickly remedied as the leaders push on. In some ways it will be like a renaissance! During those years, Chiron will be intriguing Scorpio to follow him on an inscrutable sied path. Chiron in Aries will challenge, taunt, and there will be laughs! Kokopelli dances before us, dashing and silly, but has our attention! At times it’s tempting to swat him like an annoying fly, but, unique beyond words, almost scary, he does know the way better than we do! It’s a test of trust for sure.
SATURN builds from 23 Sagittarius to 9 Capricorn now through November 2018. Saturn goes into his own sign Capricorn Dec 19, 2017! Saturn will be in Capricorn along with Pluto, conjuncts Pluto once, Jan 12, 2020.
In Sagittarius Saturn sextiles Libra. Work and play. Travel and people. Building and lasting Beauty. History and future potential. Lot of nice options here, connections being made. Learning and observing leads to restored faith and this year, especially as applied to recovery from fires, floods, quakes. Ideas for whole new businesses will spring up.
Saturn Returns, every 28 to 29 years, can make you bring yourself up to your full height, proud of your achievements! If you are on your first Return, you may be having substantial career success, marry, have your first child, buy a home! If you are on your second Return, about age 58, you may be thinking of retirement plans, be called to take care of aging parents. Sometimes Saturn brings losses, sadness, delays. Advice from experienced experts may be just what you need. Training and studies are helpful and the knowledge you carry backs up your reputation. Alliances may be strong and mutually supportive.
Those with Saturn 23 to 29 degree Sagittarius factors in your charts will be having your Sagittarian Saturn Returns between now and Dec 19! Sagittarians are seers, looking across the mountains, over the rainbow, keenly to the arrow’s target far, far away. Saturn knows so much is doable. One step, one board, a brick at a time, the framework will go up. Sagittarius will have their learning place built, the very process teaching hope. They are optimistic and faithful to the cause. When that one is built, on to the next!
When Saturn goes into his own sign Capricorn Dec 19, 2017, many will have more work than anybody should, or you are let go. In the long term that may be a blessing when you get work that suits you better or you start your own business!
In Capricorn, Saturn’s own sign, Scorpio will find a fellow determined intense alliance. Saturn will appreciate Scorpio’s hard work, encourage fund raising for profound causes. He will help Scorpio learn to control obsessions, compulsions, use his timing more wisely. Scorpio may not always like the rules and control, but can accommodate if there is a necessity to do the job, especially when there is respect for the Gatekeeper. But don’t be surprised to find yourself sneaking off for some personal moments. Because of your much needed amazing skills, perhaps as an investment specialist, you will be let to get away with a few transgressions. Saturn may bring you to take action when estimating motives of businesses and personal partners indicate they may need clearing away or grateful recognition.
Those of you with Saturn 0 to 9 Capricorn will be having your Capricorn Saturn Returns! There will be more traditional endeavors. On your first Return – 28, 29, you may find yourself having a lot of responsibility at work, getting married, owning your first home, having a baby! Take good care of yourself. If you are older, on your second Return -58, 59, keep your networks alive. Right housing, parenting, care of elders may be challenging new responsibilities. Age may become a factor, retirement. Give yourself credit for what you have done, the talents you have! It’s a time to honor, be honored!
JUPITER moves from 2 Scorpio to 2 Sagittarius!Jupiter in Scorpio! Scorpio wants you to heal, to heal your relationship and be healed by them, and increase your financial potential! Scorpio charisma is compelling, and has nothing to do with beauty. It is from a wellspring within. Scorpio is doctorhood, from cleansing your personal plumbing, purging toxins, to forensics. Scorpio often has extraordinary personal healing capacity, and can save your life too! They want to know how things work, do research. Jupiter may take Scorpio worldwide to seek investments and answers to lifesaving questions. Old remedies the midwives knew may come back into use. Through journalistic research justice may come for those who have suffered long extreme abuse – land grabs, sexual abuse, calculated theft, slavery, murdering children and animals. Secret factions may unite for prevention, education, exposé and social justice. Be safe. Let your Ninja 6th sense and stealth protect you.
Jupiter in its own sign Sagittarius! Is that running away or running to?! Do they take their teaching seriously or are they traveling nomads who get away with things, literally, because they are fancy free? They may be the head of the university, or home schooling their children. But blue skies and all kinds of weather call them. They have to be moving. They love different lands and people. Import/export businesses have their name on them, but somebody else has to do the paperwork! They are accused of being procrastinators, and maybe so, but to them it’s just doing something else that they like doing better at the time. Many don’t want to be tied down by home ownership or kids, even marriage. If you are lucky, you may get to join them on their travels. Having a school in a foreign land or two or three, combines that travel lust and sharing the knowledge. They are natural born Seers. They are potently aware of shifting perspectives, directions and future potentials. That’s why they seem so lucky! They are in the right place at the right time. They generally have marvelous health and live long and happy.
‘Learning is never cumulative, it is a movement of knowing which has no beginning and no end.’ Bruce Lee – Moon in Scorpio, double Sagittarius
If your Jupiter is in these Scorpio or Sagittarius degrees, you will be having your Jupiter Return! They happen every 11/12 years. Jupiter will bring you big truths or reveal lies. Sometimes it exaggerates your condition, could make it wildly abundant! Plans for the future may be magnified, your course changed significantly. Profound circumstances are likely to impinge on special relationships. Long lasting mergers and marriages are quite possible.

Scorpios Clear the Path!
Nyx is the Greek Goddess of darkness and night, daughter of Chaos, a great beauty. She carries the cloak of the night. She sweeps away the day, covering the world with its darkness where new visions are born. In some stories she was the mother of Gaia and Uranus, mother of witches and sorceresses. She, like Hades, possessed a hood that made her able to look at the universe without being noticed.
The Phoenix rising from its own ashes represents the purification process, the Kundalini rising, awakening to the power we have deep within, releasing strength we didn’t know we have. Such miraculous Transformation may be painful, ecstatic, both! There is adjustment. There is vulnerability as we take on greater tasks of the Soul walking among the remaining live embers. Living is more sensitized. What we merely observed before now becomes a part of us. We have a deeper compassion and at the same time we know more when to let go when either they or we have done all that can be done at this time. We have a profound ability to share – listening, comfort, resources.
Our human psyche needs to be cleared of obsessive repetitive blocking thought patterns. Fears can be exorcised. Horrific past life and current abuses need to be replaced by healing actions of ourselves and others. Building a safe cocoon of trust with others who understand and are strong is needed for dark times that come as part of natural processes.
As the Phoenix allows the fire of Ascension, we must purge our haunting desires. Some toxic foods and behaviors, abusive input allowed from others, can be avoided. Spend less time in those places, or none at all! Practice change. Let your body heal that you may think clearly. Be genuine in letting go of judgments. Send care when you are strong enough not to be pulled back into a trouble zone.
In these times of recent natural disasters worldwide, pray for symbolic debris to be cleared for creating something new, better. Hospitals with updated apparatus – new departments, teachers that needed that chance to enhance learning, for new relationships that are formed, for new ways of relating. Let that enchanting Scorpio smile of yours brighten the way. Volunteer, give a helping hand. Surprise someone with a gift, no matter how small. Let them know you are thinking of them, even love them. Make that phone call and keep it an equal exchange of Spirit – listen with heart, tell something meaningful about yourself. Start small, build big.
Children see how we do – especially Scorpio children! They have keen eyes, ears and hearts. Let them see what you do that would be the way they would like to be treated, or as you wished you had been treated when you were a little one. Clear the way for them to proceed, be strong. Allow them to admit faults, tell you who they are and what they need. If you don’t be able to spend as much time with them personally, see what you can do about that. Clear yourself.
Elders may need some special time too as they have aging matters and are less able to take care of themselves, fret about it. Do what you can, know your limits, get help. Along with Virgo, many caregivers have strong Scorpio as well. They clean up, administer healing remedies, secure medical care, assist will making, often manage monies, counsel and keep your elder on an even keel when they can, and interface with family. Their know-how and recommendations are invaluable.
Relationships are serious for Scorpios. Their intent is to share deeply. Sexuality is one of their gifts. Healing though this closeness is just about immortal! Some will cheat, but if they are not the cheating kind, you can trust them forever in any situation. If you lie, steal from them, or you cheat, they may forgive and forgive, but when they give up, it’s over. They clear their own Path and move on. No begging on earth will bring them back.
Making investments is another of their gifts. Scorpios move our money around to the best places possible. They clear the path to astute business mergers. They listen to the accountant for the best returns on our investments! They can build resources to send our kids to university, get the best medical care, secure our retirement and elder care, make our wills and end of life arrangements! Scorpios are strong Souls. They face our most important needs, and life crises with us.
Scorpios are noted for their psychic instincts. You will feel totally safe taking a walk in the dark with them. That is their natural element of the day. They can smell keenly. They hear with their 6th sense. They feel the shift in air flow, temperature. They know when someone is near even if they can’t see them. They sense motives and intent, including yours. When something is wrong with your health they know that too. Good poker players! Little gets by them. Often martial arts are one of their talents – if needed, they can fight for you or silently gather information or survival goods desperately needed. They are human too, so know that at times, perhaps when they have issues of their own, their perceptions can be off. Then it’s your turn to be there for them. Psychic people often have psychic friends and clients. They ‘know’ each other.
When you meet someone with natural charisma, it’s likely they have prominent Scorpio, or Scorpio’s planet Pluto, placed strongly in their astrological chart. They can be unattractive by cultural standards, and yet…or they can be blindingly superb, sex appeal off the charts! They might scare you a bit and take some getting used to. Or you may be in a head over heels meltdown and, uh, willing to do anything, LOL! Not all Scorpios are ‘dark’ or dangerous looking. There be blonde Scorpios too! Either way, be a bit careful. Get to know them, but do also give them a chance. It may be they are at a power level you aren’t used to rather than their actual demeanor that makes you cautious. But if your instinct is to get the heck away, do it. No jumping in the web just to see what will happen!
If you are lucky, they can be one of the best friends you will ever have! One way or another, they will save your life though it may not be the way you expected!
