It'll Be Intense in November

Welcome to Scorpio Season! Ah, yes. One of the most fiery signs and we're in the thick of it. While Scorpio can sting a little bit (ha! Did you get my pun?) it will be balanced out by Sagittarius's more lighthearted approach and flexibility.

A big item to keep on lookout for this month is Venus entering Scorpio on November 6. This is going to awaken a sense of urgency to find intimacy. This can be intimacy with a partner, a family member, how one understands and relates to money, politics, or even where one fits within the greater world dynamic. In short, Scorpio will ignite an intensity to achieve a deeper level somewhere in your life. A lot of experts say Scorpio is most intense regarding sexuality, but my interpretation is more broad. Why limit all the marvelous factors of any human being to a single facet? So, go into this month with eyes wide open and don't be surprised when the necessity to delve deeper than the surface in some area of your life hits.

The second big event is that Mars is moving into Sagittarius. This coupling is where our energy will stem from and how we will find the stamina to search for those deeper answers we suddenly feel compelled to find. It ties in very nicely with Venus in Scorpio and basically leads to one plan for the month:

Get ready for a deep dive.

With these factors in mind I pulled a single random card: The Empress. Well, well, well! The Empress tarot card is literally the most encouraging card in the entire deck. She is always a sign of optimism and gifts. She enhances your creativity and also foretells personal growth. Sounds pretty helpful for the deep dive that's coming, doesn't it?

You know how it goes; once you start scratching beneath the surface you might find things you don't like or wish you didn't know. That outcome may tempt you to avoid the personal journey this month is offering you. And of course, your choices are entirely your own. This is simply guidance. If you choose to start peeling back the layers you will, indeed, need stamina to sustain your growth. Let The Empress encourage you with positive rewards for doing hard work.

The Empress Tarot Card

Since Mars moving into Sagittarius sets the tone for the whole month, let's start there. This dynamic duo is going to enhance your desire for truth, for discovery. If you're esoteric you may follow the philosophical angle of the meaning of life or how we're all part of a cosmic quilt. If you're struggling with a tough decision you may go down the road of pros versus cons. If you're feeling stuck on who you really are and what you really want you may choose a psychic immersion instead.

The point is, change is coming and it's coming for us all. It is foolish to assume we all need the same help or enlightenment so this will be an extremely personal experience. You know best what you are struggling with and the Universe will resonate with your energy. Thanks to the alignment of the planets we'll have the fortitude to soldier on.

Then, as Venus enters Scorpio, the real fire to get moving will strike. This will manifest as an undeniable urge to finally get that thing sorted out, figured out, resolved, or taken on. One of the best parts of sexual Scorpio is the passion aspect... you will feel a burning desire to GET IT DONE. To really get to bottom and explore the depths of what it means to you and to allow this knowledge to change you. The change in you will be undeniable after you complete the challenge.

Have no fear when I say challenge! The Empress steps in here to promise you good outcomes for effort. (She is particularly associated with pregnancy and childbirth so this may relate to you in a very obvious way.) But she is so entirely optimistic that even when you read her upside down the "negative" aspects are still quite mild.

Look, change can be scary. Intimacy can be scary. The unknown is scary. But she will continue to support you with positive rewards at every milestone you achieve. There is abundance in The Empress. There is no limited amount of gifts she can impart upon you. But as with all things, you have to make the first move. She cannot bless you if you do not give her an opening to do so.

You know what is tugging on your heartstrings or occupying your thoughts. This month is a chance to plunge into the depths and find the answers, and rewards, that await you.

I wish you a most magical November!
