“That is the Scorpion’s endpoint: to live with intensity, to burn away all pretense, to put nothing behind walls of fear, to make the unconscious conscious.  The aim of the Scorpion, in a word, is to live every minute as if it were the last.” -- Steven Forrest, Astrologer

We are in an emotionally intense month, and must stay on watch for our negative traits and reactions to our external environment.  This is a  month full of judgment and criticism.  And, if not controlled, judgment can be cruel, harsh and unfeeling.  It can burn like fire, and especially burn with just a tiny strike of the scorpions tail; a bitter tail of judgment.

Combined with mercy, however, judgment has great healing potential.  Therefore, this month of judgment is an awesome opportunity to help heal those areas (and people) in our lives that need special attention.   By applying ourselves, we can easily take charge of the obstacles of this month by identifying the Seven Scorpion Stings in others- as well as in our own behaviors- actions, thoughts, words …

There are Seven Scorpion Strings we should continuously be on the lookout for this month:  Judgment, Controlling, Reactivity, Inner Negativity, Jealousy, Criticism and Envy.

Knowing what to identify helps tremendously in understanding why certain unpleasant situations may pop up, and how to stay proactive throughout the next two weeks. The power in identifying these particular negative traits of this month is that we will already have the tools to work through them.

You will find that you are under a lot of pressure for the next two weeks.  Pressures in business, relationships, home life, even pressures during your workouts (go figure!:-)  We just have to stay very mindful of balance, and remember that everyone is feeling this same intensity.  It is also important to be mindful that there will be a lot of pressure to react to others’ reactions.  When we find ourselves caught up in a reactive situation, remember to always take a seven second pause to conjure a more proactive response.

This month should be about looking for the behaviors within ourselves that are unpleasant and transforming them into positive proactive traits.  The best advantage that we have right now is sensitivity, as Scorpios are extremely sensitive.  We should use this sensitivity as an opportunity to go within and really dig deep- to see what those particular parts of us that need to change.

Scorpio is a water sign (water symbolizes emotions).  Because Scorpio is a water sign, we have the opportunities this month to really explore our own deep waters, to understand our emotional triggers and correct our internal negativity.  The sensitivity of Scorpio allows us the compassion to want to transform our inner darkness into brilliant sparks of light.

Water has a continuous flow.  But when we think of someone with the sign of Scorpio, we think of them as cold, frozen water;  ice.  But, who says ice cannot flow?  Think of glaciers that flow- and very powerfully.  Glaciers can flow with enough force to even crush the grandest of forests and mountains.  With that in mind, imagine the powerful magnetism that Scorpio has. Scorpio is a very powerful month!

Recognizing the power of this month should help us to identify with our own individual power.  We should try to identify with our own power and use it to take us to a higher level of consciousness.  We can find opportunities to become more independent and in control of our lives, as Scorpios are not comfortable unless they are completely independent and in complete control.

While Scorpios seek to control others, we should use this strength to gain control over our own emotional lacks and negativities.  Scorpio is about metamorphosis (really think of the process of a butterfly). With discipline, Scorpios transform the painful poisons of possessive passion into a higher consciousness based on universal love.

Because Scorpios are highly intuitive and sensitive, this month we should take advantage of those strengths to unlock our inner magic to light up any darkness in our lives.

This month, stay alert.  Become aware that our emotions are on extreme high.  Try to stay focused on practicing proactivity.  And, try to avoid the intrusion of our Negative Ego.

Your Princess,
