Happy Birthday, Scorpios!
Nov 19, 1961, Meg Ryan, actress & producer, has 2 children, one adopted from China, a daughter named Daisy True. Meg has Venus, Neptune, Mercury and Sun in Scorpio! Like a pixie Ninja guardian, Meg has been an active supporter of environmental protection programs.
Oct 23 Scorpio starts this year with 4 planets in Scorpio, the day after a Full Moon. Sun, Mercury and Venus are together sextile Pluto Scorpio’s ruler, opposite the Moon in Taurus. Mars is at 26 (the same degree as the Galactic Center) Scorpio squaring Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius, trining Jupiter and Uranus in Pisces! Venus is still retrograde (see below please) until Nov 18.
Give or keep? Share or dare?! How to make more money, keep it safe, use it where it counts. Venus still being retrograde means check things out further, shy away from ‘final’ decisions, especially in love and health matters. Literally lots to think about, valuable information, but it won’t be the end of the story. Angry misunderstandings may have a high price, with a need to reform on both sides. Well educated friends, travelers or foreigners, out-of-the-box coaches, planners, may save the day with unique solutions! Kindness, letting go of in-your-face eccentricities, surrender but not selling out, will be key.

(¸.·´ (¸.·´ * Our VENUS retrograde of 41 days finishes Nov 18 when she turns Direct. One of the most beautiful principles of retrogrades is the ability to, the divine opportunity of, going back, again and again, not giving up, returning. This is so profoundly evidenced by the Chilean mine collapse and rescue of the miners. Obviously, it isn’t always such sweet success, but in this case it was!
Venus is love, and in Scorpio, the intense power of sharing and resurrection! Worldwide lessons, how to do rescues better and better, collaborating, coordinating resources, the cross use of NASA space with Scorpio underworld mine techniques, are all perfect metaphors for what each of us must do for ourselves, and one to another, heart to heart, across the table, neighbor to neighbor, worker to worker, at Church, with strangers on our vacations.
It is even noted some of the miners will have PTSD, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, that they will need continued care. Venus is love, Grace, and in Scorpio, healing, our psyche. There is a good chance the men will get the care they need. This is the very care we need to give ourselves for the hurts we have suffered, and to extend that care to others when and as we can. See how, by going back, you have another opportunity to give your love in a good way. Click here for more on this Venus Rx!
Scorpio, Safe Passage to 2012
The Chilean miners were brought from dark to light, graphically illustrating this balance of night and day, that we so need, that Libra, the sign of going into the darker time of year, Fall Equinox, makes us more aware of. The darkening time, more dark in Scorpio, is a vital part of our consciousness, where we clear our motivations, our past debris, what’s dead is jettisoned! It is a place to knock on the doors of what is dormant, that lies well, but deeply within us, waiting. Sure, there be the monsters of our child mind, but we can hold their hands if we ‘know’ them. There are also seedlings, hidden healings, needing just a bit of TLC, fertilizing, to help them germinate. Then, it is ‘Pop!’ just like the men from the mine, into the Light!
Sometimes the good in us has been hidden so long, we don’t know how to release it and use it. Rather than clever sarcasm and subtle put downs that keep people safely at arm’s length, at first just stop yourself. That can be so uncomfortable. What could you do instead? Look for one good thing you could say and see if you can own it. What about it makes you uncomfortable? What are you afraid might happen to you if you embraced that? Would you be powerless? Probably not. But you didn’t even realize that! Just an old habit.
Learning how to live in our own dark is a vital task. When it is an emergency, when there are hard times, fears, the challenge is on! Scorpio is no quitter, enjoys intense. Whether it is sexual, financial, or psychological, Scorpio is not afraid to wade into the muck and clean up the mess. Call them, the therapist, financial consultant, the specialist, no need to be alone. We can always learn more. Scorpio is the sign of quintessential sharing when life itself is at stake. They midwife our babies; they help with the dying, and at death. At these points there is no such thing as shame or blame, we are just in it together, doing life big. If confidences need to be kept, Scorpios do.
So to live safely in your dark part, know yourself. Clean up your Inner Self, your attitudes, your Spirit. Share what you have to give; gather specific efficient guides and friends when you need them. Know how to be safe with yourself. Get ready for the Light!
