Scorpio Scorpio

What was occurring in early November? Think back and feel through the fated moments of memorable interplays. Action Mars in fellow water sign Cancer was opposing your ruler Pluto at the last degree of Capricorn on November 3rd. Mars entered Leo that same night. Know that whatever was occurring for you then, this theme may be repeating again in early January if any karma has not been fully worked through. On Friday, Dec. 6, Mars stationed retrograde in Leo, where it will remain until backing into Cancer on Jan. 6, 2025. A few days prior, Mars in Leo will form the second of three oppositions to Pluto (Note: the 3rd occurs April 26, 2025). So often when Mars is in Leo, this can drive your ambitions with a desire to become more in this world, as well as for this world. In many cases, you will want to leave a legacy. We all know you Scorpios never do anything half-way. It’s all or nothin’. Mars in Leo lights a fire under you, and when Mars is retrograde, it can require you to reroute your efforts or even choose a new path that better fuels you at this time. You are in a continuous state of becoming with a desire to experience your own evolution, especially when you are pushing the proverbial limit. Action Mars drives everything, and has you making choices driven by your instinct that is pulling from your Soul’s desires. Thus, Mars is the ego and considered to be the younger brother to Pluto, the planet of the Soul.  When Mars inverts its energy during a retrograde, energetically the ego is now pointing back to the Soul. Far less action and a deep state of reflection is what becomes necessary. Mars will not station direct again in Cancer until Feb. 23, 2025, so use this time to warm yourself by the inner fire and feel into what is lighting the way for you today, the next day, and the days that follow. Nothing rushed or forced. Loving Venus and wise Jupiter combine to send you into a watery swell of illuminating insights that become food for thought that nurtures a comfortable silence. Mercury is venturing direct again in Sagittarius, and while there will be plenty to celebrate in the coming week, you will find you are deep in rumination the week after just before the New Year, as you ponder and prepare for what lies ahead. The intention within the 2nd opposition between Mars and Pluto in early January is to confront whatever is getting in the way of your divine plan. Something is worth fighting for. Is it Peace? Justice? Love?

Whatever it is, you will bring your all, and likely win!
