Hi to you!
We are in the midst of one of my favorite transitions. One by one the inner planets will move from Scorpio into Sagittarius.
Mercury already has, The Sun and Mars are next, with Venus to follow in the coming weeks.
If you’ve followed my work for a minute, hour, day, week, or year — you’ll know, I’m not a regular astrologer. I’m a cool astrologer ;) And by that I mean, I’m an astrologer who will always leap over technique and exactitude in favor of story. Witnessing the stories unfolding in the sky is how I learn to love them. All of them.
And from a storied standpoint, the journey of the planets moving through the sky is a progression; building of plot. The narratives that take place in one sign lead into the adventures provided by the next.
And here we are — my favorite threshold. As we step from Scorpio into Sagittarius, we are staring into the light at the end of the tunnel.
Scorpio is the underworld, the upside-down, all things under the surface mucky-muck. What festers out of view. Scorpio is the inescapable mortal coil of existence. And just as the dark starts the close in. Seeing your life flash before your eyes as you hurdle toward the seemingly unending abyss — Then Sagittarius arrives, like a parachute. Pulling you up into weightless buoyancy. Sagittarius is a place of enlightenment. Where you meet God, or something like it. Carrying the depths and the intensity on our backs to transmute it into meaning, philosophy, opportunities to grow, or the Sag specialty — a teachable moment.
But this is why Sag energy tends to struggle with Scorpio — because once you’ve seen the light, who in their right mind would want to be pulled back into the darkness?
But without the darkness of Scorpio, the light of Sag lacks contrast. It’s spiritual bypassing and toxic positivity ~~ which is very much the reflection of the current state of the good-vibes-only brand of wellness we’re in.
This is an alchemist’s portal. The threshold of dark into light — Without one substance, we cannot truly be with the other.
