Scorpio Season with Sun, Moon, Venus & Mercury all in the sign of the Transformer

Antiquarian Tarot and Divine Muses Oracle © Maree Bento

Scorpionic astrology is upon us! Here are the corresponding cards from the Antiquarian Tarot and my divine musings.

Sun went into Scorpio today! New Moon will also be in Scorpio Sunday (if you don’t know, New Moons are always the same as the Sun sign bc they are in conjunction)  Mercury in Scorpio will go retrograde on Halloween. (Forewarned is forearmed!) Venus has been in Scorpio and will be until Nov. 1st. 

Scorpio is connected with the Death card. Tis the season of death and rebirth—when the veils are thinning. A time to dive deeper and release what isn’t working anymore to pursue your passionate purpose. What must you let go so you can move on to better things?

Venus in Scorpio is mystical and powerful. The beauty and creativity of Venus merges with the dark and captivating Scorpio energy—it’s a dark goddess energy! It makes it a good time to design and wear Halloween costumes.

Putting on masks and exploring your imagination and temptations...which brings us to the 7 of Cups—the Venus in Scorpio card of illusion & fantasy.

It’s a card that reflects many choices, creating indecision and confusion. But we can look at them as opportunities that we make for ourselves.

To get the benefit of this time: Tap into the sacred dance that Venus in Scorpio offers—an erotic, mysterious, mystical, deep creative and artistic energy. Focus on how the beauty of your darker side—your shadow—helps to illuminate who you are. Venus in Scorpio says to look at your shadow with love and embrace it as fuel for art & healing.

​​Mercury Retrograde is in Scorpio on Halloween! The Magician (Mercury card) is reversed in the spread. This is the perfect time to reflect on the deeper & hidden aspects of yourself. Since it’s the time when the veils are thinnest, we can honor our personal/global ancestors. It’s the eve to honor Death and our ancestors who have traveled through its gate. With retrograde Mercury, it’s time for reflecting on our own death and those we love—not to be morbid or obsessed with it, though it is Scorpio Season. It shows us to be grateful we’re alive and to find the magic in life.
