Yes, Scorpio energy can be dark and traditionally is a type of energy that people feel very uncomfortable with. As the ruler of Pluto, the energy is heavy and transformative. Many people are uncomfortable with this sort of heavy and dark energy, many of us are afraid of change and transformation – we imagine only the very bad things that could come out of it.

But transformation is sometimes – most of the time – necessary for us to connect with our higher selves, to ascend. So this month, take some time to reflect on the journey you’ve been travelling on thus far and think about how you could further help yourself in these transformative times.

Card Pulls for the Scorpio Season

Lingering frustrations & “stuck” energy

7 of Pentacles

This card carries with it a feeling of weariness. It’s like you’ve been cultivating a plant – your goals, a relationship etc for a pretty long time and you are starting to get very impatient at the slowness of it all, wondering if you should give up. The plant is growing, everything looks good yet you are feeling stuck and wondering if this is all worth it and if you should abandon whatever it is you have been putting your efforts into.

What we forget alot of the time is that growth is necessary and there is a lag time between your desire and its manifestation. Just like there is a lag time between when a seedling is planted and when it fully blooms. This period of waiting teaches us to cultivate patience and to surrender to the process.

5 of Wands

This is another card that carries “I feel like I am going nowhere” type of energy. It’s like you and your community are building these amazing things with all your sticks, your tools. Yet you are building and building, somehow moving forward but not feeling like you are either. It’s like you are building a maze that is going nowhere. You aren’t reaching your destination, and you aren’t sure if you will be.

Overcoming the darker energies of Scorpio

7 of Swords

This card is usually associated with deceit. Here, it is asking you if you have been true to your heart all along. There is something that you truly want in your life but you aren’t being honest with yourself. You are brushing it aside, ignoring what you desire deep down and telling yourself “I can’t do this”.

Take some time to connect with your heart’s desires this season. Where do you need to shift your beliefs and thoughts? Connecting with your soul’s calling (link) can clear the path for you in other areas in life. This is the big shift your soul has been waiting for, don’t be afraid and step right into it!

6 of Swords

You are undergoing some major transitions and transformations this season (link). Yet. You are still carrying around beliefs, thoughts that don’t work for you, still hanging onto energies from the past and still connected to people whose energies aren’t aligned with yours. Start cutting the cords to the beliefs, to the past and to the people whose presence and energies don’t serve you.

Carrying these things and people around all your life and especially to your new destination in your journey of transformation will ensure that you will not be able to let in energies, events and people that will better serve your highest good.

End outcome

8 of Wands

Once u do all that work – cutting cords, clearing out unhelpful beliefs and reconnecting your heart, you will find a new you emerge. You will feel so connected to your higher purpose and to your soul’s path, and everything else will start making sense. Doing things and achieving goals will also feel smooth and easy and you will find yourself experiencing less resistance and dread than before.

8 of Wands is a very fiery card. Straightforward, smooth, clear, decisive energy. But that can only work if you start doing the work from within and start reconnecting with your truth and higher purpose.

Tarot Spread

#1 Where are you feeling stuck in life right now?

As we are going through this transformative period, the energies swirling around us can feel heavy and dark, like we are swimming in mud. This card will tell you which areas in life you may be feeling more stuck than usual.

#2 How can you start being more in touch with what your heart truly wants?

Many of us do live in a sort of denial where we are afraid of owning up to ourselves and living the life we truly desire. We bend too much to what others think and let society dictate our behaviours. As we move into the Age of Aquarius, we are moving into truth and authenticity. Authentic life. Living true to ourselves. If this feels foreign, take small easy steps until things start to feel familiar and habitual.

#3 How can you begin to cut the cords to beliefs, people and past events that no longer serve you?

Cord-cutting has been a major theme all of this year and it’s not a process that is easy. A single cord-cutting meditation won’t do the trick. You need to consciously be aware of what feels good and true to you and your well-being, and what doesn’t. Again, don’t be afraid of living authentically. If a friendship or belief or thought isn’t working for you anymore, say thank you and let it go.

#4 Which areas in life do you need to cultivate more patience in?

Growth can sometimes feel slow. It’s like you are putting in so much work but you don’t see the results of it. Transformation of any kind is slow and patient. It doesn’t happen overnight. Your human mind and the ego needs to get up to speed with your higher self – and that usually takes awhile. But patient with yourself. If things are happening slowly, then trust that it was meant to be that way. That you are actually learning alot in the process.

#5 Which areas in life do you need to take a step back and re-evaluate your journey?

Sometimes we keep doing and doing and charging around like a bull in a China shop, but we don’t realise that we are actually making no progress in the right direction, or that the journey doesn’t feel right. If there is something in your life where you’ve been working hard on but have been seeing no progress whatsoever, it might be useful to take a step back, pause, and re-evaluate. Sometimes, you are actually on the right path, but now just isn’t the right time to carry on, as your higher self has other things for you to “do” first.
