Sun & Venus in Scorpio: Prelude to the Eclipse

SUN & VENUS ENTER SCORPIO. 23rd OCT.

Entwined in the heat of their lovers’ embrace, the Sun & Venus enter the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio tonight.
Passion, power, intensity & introspection colour our days & nights.

The Sun gains dignity in Scorpio, & Venus is in her detriment, yet protected for now by Her solar glow-up.

In Scorpio, following the Cazimi, Lady Love becomes Persephone (willingly) entering the Underworld before Her rebirth as an Evening Star. Queen of (S)Hades in the Underworld.

Here is the Season of the Witch, & Scorpio - you are moste welcome in my House.

Venus in Scorpio is one of the most misunderstood of all placements, yet She’s one of the most devoted & resilient - built to survive the via combusta. More on Lady Lovefierce later…

Thunder rolls in the distance as the gods of the Eclipse arrange themselves with the waning Moon’s hours; & Samhain’s veil thins earlier this year.

By the pricking of my thumbs
A Wycked Myst’ry this way comes.

Ravens twitch, obsidian glances glow
As Witches round about their cauldrons go...

When shall we meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
When the hurly-burly’s done when the battle’s lost & won…

Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d
As midnight margaritas brew’d …

Eye of newt & toe of frog
Wool of bat & tongue of dog
Adder’s fork & blind-worm’s sting
Lizard’s leg & owlet’s wing…

Fire burn, & cauldron bubble…
Scorpio will bring it double!
