Our Inner Depths - Yes, It's Scorpio Season!

Welcome to this blog edition, and with it an invitation to ride the inner depths of Scorpio Season together!

Personally, life has been really ‘life-ing’ lately as I’v been navigating a number of circumstances that have dampened my fires a little, which doesn’t always feel so inspiring to share! Yet, this has also sparked me to reflect, take necessary rest, and surrender to the flow.

It also got me thinking about authenticity, and when we share our true colours, not just our favourite ones, that also gives other’s permission to have an honest look at themselves too, thus potentially feeling more supported and connected by experience and truth. Us Brits are so good at the, ‘I’m fine’, statements - although they are not always true!

Not only are we often juggling numerous roles without question, this time of year might also shed some organic light, or in fact darkness, on tendencies towards more inner than outer quests. With Scorpio Season recently underway and the clocks going back this weekend in the Northern Hemisphere, I for one am feeling some hibernation energy beginning to settle in.

Depending on where you are in the world with the ‘Spring Forward, Fall Back’ hour change for daylight savings, you may be either springing forward with dynamism into the propulsion of Spring energy, or falling back (into the self) to prepare for the Wintering months with Autumn (more on self-care to support this later).

Scorpio season marks this time of deep inner transformation, embracing self-discovery, and uniting with the ‘shadow’ aspects of ourselves. In navigating the increase of darker days, as well as our own darkness, we have the opportunity to grow and develop from heightened awareness of our inner depths. By ‘darkness’ and ‘shadow’ aspects I simply mean that which is usually more hidden, deep-rooted, subconscious, suppressed or simply below the surface. These may be painful or may just be parts of ourselves we don’t enjoy as much. Yet, leaning into and accepting our less expressed sides gives us a healing dose of integration, self-acceptance and true wholeness.

Scorpio is the only Zodiac sign that has two archetypes; the Scorpion and the Eagle. The Scorpion relates to our desires and the lower drives of the physical body, ruled by the planet Mars. The Eagle represents taking the higher perspective and using the broad experience of life and it’s challenges to evolve and transform from, relating to the other ruling planet of Scorpio, Pluto.  

The death and rebirth process of inner transformation and Pluto energy relates to this time of year with recent periods of harvest, and now taking stock in these colder months. Our intuition is high, with awareness of what we are shedding and also what is up for renewal within and around us. This comes most successfully and with the most ease from transcending and learning from our inner depths.   

Through understanding both our light and our darkness, we have the full picture. Like the Eagle who soars above, it is in the wisdom of embracing the mix of our challenges and triumphs, our external ventures and inner voyages, day and night, that all shape us and build upon our development for true holistic wellbeing.

Metaphorically, I really am an eternal sunshine and upbeat-type person the large majority of the time - this said, I too cannot escape needing to walk through the occasional dark night of the soul to gain new transformation and wisdom!

Here are some wellness tips for riding Scorpio Season with the most ease:

Channel the Scorpion energy of desire and the planet Mars to reflect on where your life is currently meeting your deepest wishes. If your heart’s desires are not being met, what shifts or adjustments are needed? Baby steps and even simple reflections are a form of action through planning towards making deep desires a reality. Give yourself small, achievable daily tasks or support towards them.

Are you getting enough of your basic physical needs met? It sounds simple but sometimes we find it the hardest thing to do - drinking plenty of water, eating three nutritious meals a day, and getting adequate sleep are essential staples that impact EVERYTHING else, including how we think, feel and process inner and outer information.

What area of your life are you being called to transform from this reflective time? It may be one, or all of them! If it is more than one then reduce overwhelm by knowing that transformation shows up externally over time and starts with our realisations and baby steps. Also, a reminder that whilst it is developmental to have goals and forward-momentum, you are already perfect as you are, at the perfect place for right now, and things will continue to unfold perfectly - however that looks.

Surrender to life. Scorpio energy includes control and sometimes a tight grip (think of those pincers!), so relinquish this as much as possible.

Appropriate down-time is required for anytime, and in particularly in the colder months. Doing whatever brings you deep nourishment is what is best to schedule in the diary to ensure it happens!

One way to make down-time affordable and practical is by choosing an Evolve With Grace Membership, which offers discounted monthly treatments or readings to support true holistic wellbeing. The beauty of this service is that it ensures the regularity of self-care, whilst offering members many exclusive benefits, such as a free weekly oracle card pull, free access to my ‘Learning Astrology’ online course library, and booster self-care sessions. You can find more information or sign up on the memberships page of this website.

With the festive season rapidly approaching, the gift of self-care for some is even more important! Often busy periods of visiting relatives and ensuring everybody is catered for might mean an Evolve With Grace Membership could be the perfect gift to tick off the list for a loved one. Also, the perfect gift for oneself too!
