Sun in Scorpio

You walk the path of the magnetic sorcerer as the urge to shine and harness creative vision is expressed through the archetype of the transformer, detective, researcher.  The shape of your powerful charisma and penetrating influence is defined by your ability to harness the power of the soul, utilize intense emotion, sustain deep rivers of sensitivity, empower invisible fields of imagination, and nurture psychic impressions. 

           It is through the archetype of the wealthy investor that you realize your creative potential and core identity, empowering others through the structures you finance and your perceptive passion.  Scorpio governs massive concentrations of wealth and power.  To the Scorpionic shaman it’s spiritual power that needs to be transformed.  To the investor it’s material wealth that must be utilized shrewdly.  The element of water is your spiritual fuel, motivating you through deep soul yearnings and empathic connection with all that is hidden and magical. 

            You can recharge your life force through listening to and following intuitive impressions, enjoying periods of esoteric privacy, and sharing kundalini-sparking lovemaking with someone who has penetrated the guarded fortress of your heart.  You are an alchemist, one who knows how to transform the symbolic lead of the lower self into the gold of the higher self.  You are the hypnotist who can mesmerize people and help them experience the power of the numinous unconscious.  After the polite social maneuvering of Libra, Scorpio emerges to cut through superficiality so we can experience rebirth and understand suffering through its fierce crash course in surrender.

            Wholeness emerges in your life when you integrate the opposite sign of Taurus into your mysterious nature.  The probing researcher looking into the depths of life must become the serene nature artist and lover of pleasure in order to share the fruits of investigation with the real world.  Then the desire that burns within like a flame of regeneration can be harnessed in everyday life.  Scorpio governs the intense power that’s locked away in the tiniest forms, like atoms and germs.  Your ability to penetrate those realms can provide society with a magical elixir.  Because of your attunement to the depths you are not like ordinary people.  You have been blessed with vision into the unseen, the gift of wizardry.  With that gift comes tremendous responsibility.  Can you utilize your inner power authentically?  Or will you join the emotionally complicated dark side and succumb to the risk-taking, dark magician within who wants to dominate. 

            The spiritual principle of Scorpio is surrender.  Can you align your personal will with the divine will and come to understand the dynamic power of the soul through periodic transformations.  Some seasons will feel like transfigurations.  Your self-realization involves embracing emotional power, change, and passion.  You are challenged to explore the intensity of deep human encounters, experiencing eternity through merging with another sexually and/or psychically.

Mars and Pluto take on extra significance in your chart as they disposit (govern) any planets found in Scorpio.  Their positions in your chart are vital to your creativity, spiritual recharge, and self-realization.  They will also add their influence by sign, house, and aspect to the field of your charisma.  Your highest purpose involves becoming a source of Underworld wisdom so you can help guide others through times of chaos and intensity.  To gain access to those hidden depths you must cultivate faith in the images that reside in your heart.

            When you become aware of your shadow you can transmute it into light, turning weaknesses into strengths.  The shadow of Scorpio includes possessiveness, jealousy, obsession, vengefulness, and the misuse of power.  With the penetrating power of Pluto and the passionate will of Mars as your guides you are empowered to be the transformation the world is yearning for, to transmute secrecy and compulsiveness into healing magnetism and serpent wisdom.
