Pardon the graphic image, but the collective is taking a massive dump. Given it’s Scorpio, which rules sex, death, and money, I think it’s apropos. You must release and clear and let go of something that you’ve been holding on to for dear life lest you get dragged down by it. Even if you don’t agree, the universe is saying it’s time. You don’t need it anymore.
Sometimes in the process of letting go things can feel chaotic and uncertain. Because this is an eclipse, something that has been hidden in the unconscious comes to light. And with Mars square Neptune, you may feel at a loss of what to do about it. Because Mars is turning retrograde in just a few days (10.31) until January 2023, that’s kind of the point. You are turning inward to investigate where some of your desires and motivations actually stem from.
Something from down deep in you is coming up to the surface. And its pain and beauty will surprise you. Words might be coming out sideways. You may either touch a nerve in others or be triggered yourself. Scorpio energy works in extremes. Remember to breathe and let go of extreme black-and-white thinking about potential outcomes of what it all means. Communicate what is going on within you with those that you trust and those that have the psychological stamina and awareness not to run away from discomfort and intense truths.
Eclipses open a portal of spiritual energy, and if someone is close to passing over the rainbow bridge, this may be the time s/he goes ahead and makes their final exit in physical form. If you are called to connect with those who have passed over, this is a good signature. Just be clear on your intention on why you are doing it so you don’t just invite any old energy into your psychic space.
Intentions: I know that whatever emotional storminess I experience is part of the cycle of being human and I release and let go of what is no longer serving me with grace. I honor that it’s darkest before the dawn and I have faith that a new chapter will eventually emerge from what I’m experiencing.
