From mid-June to mid-September Saturn dips back into the deep waters of Scorpio, leaving Sagittarius (which it entered in January) for a three-month return to the depths before re-entering Sagittarius until December 2017.
This three-month return to the lair of the scorpion opens a chamber to the hidden contents of your psychic-emotive reservoir, those dark waters of the soul that have been agitated relentlessly since Saturn entered Scorpio in October 2012. That's almost three years of Scorpionic purging designed to bring up whatever you most don't want to look at.
With this summer chamber opening for a final observation-and-cleanse, we gain a three-month window to see what we've been carrying on the inside one last time before surging into the bright flow of Sagittarius, which will rule the heavens for the next couple years. This return to Scorpio is a last call to get right with yourself on a powerful inner level, to view the contents of unresolved feelings and free the skeletons in the closet. Old wounds, unhealed scars, unfinished relationships, missing pieces, things you left behind -- these unwanted gems make up the lair of the scorpion and each is worth its weight in gold once you're no longer fearing and repressing them, because each holds the key to your deepest freedom.
The power of Saturn passing through late Scorpio offers you a golden opportunity to transform these disowned and unfinished pieces, so that in the autumn when Saturn rockets to Sagittarius you reap the full benefits of the huge release of life as a magical journey of great adventure, which is the soaring province of Sag.
We each pile up layers of unresolved feeling and unhealed wounds inside of us that date back to childhood and before childhood to past lives. Most of this dark matter is unconscious but taints our capacity for bliss, joy, happiness, sexual fulfillment, wholeness and well-being.
It's not necessary to know everything that happened in the past or in past lives, but it is necessary for you to remove blocks to inner wholeness left in dark places. Scorpio's motive for luring us into the lair of old unfinished business is not to doom us to relive the past, or to eternally haunt us with the guilt of our mistakes, but to heal us at the deepest of all levels, because until you gain freedom in the deepest of all places no achievements in the open air, no success gained on the bright surface of life will ever bring you peace.
As these missing pieces are exposed to the light of loving self-inquiry -- the role of Scorpio as psychic sleuth -- a kind of Sherlock Holmes of the soul -- you'll follow the footsteps to the solution of the mystery of what's missing, where incomplete stories of love and wholeness get to release their false clues and clear the path for a full-on, breathless, Sagittarian take-off into expansive realms of bliss and well- being that become so authentic and well-earned once you've cleared the dungeons of old ghosts.
Who Are You Really? What Are You Here For? How Much Longer Are You Going To Wait?
Forward!
