Today’s Astro Weather: October 22nd, 2021

Inktober 2021 – Day 22 ACEO by Madame Ximon

The Sun enters Scorpio tonight at 9:51pm PDT. Scorpio’s ruler Mars is still in a challenging T-square formation with Pluto and Eris, so we may be off to a tumultuous start for this Scorpio season.

With the Sun applying to a square with Saturn that perfects next week, we can see ourselves and the depth of our feelings squashed by callousness of society and the demands of duty and responsibility. Next week also sees Venus squaring Neptune, so the divide between our hopes and ideals and what we experience in the real world around us may be even greater, especially for those of us who feel as though we have been misled or taken advantage of.

Scorpio season is a time when we turn inward with the cooling of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, so we may find ourselves with a lot to stew on during this time. The Sun’s opposition to Uranus in early November may be like a steam valve to release some of our pent-up frustrations and sorrows, but that release isn’t likely to be gentle, as Saturn is heading back toward the square with Uranus that has been the astrological signature of this year, so we are likely to see familiar structures and institutions challenged by rebellion and crisis.

Mars moves into his home sign on Halloween, giving our Scorpio placements the drive to fight for what we want. With the Sun moving into Scorpio tonight, we begin the process of learning how we truly feel about our lives as they are right now, and what we’re willing to do about it.
