Scorpio season’s energies
Scorpio season is, in its symbolic co-significance, the quintessential Plutonic season. Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, is the planet that we all know as the slowest of all, defining entire eras. Currently, we are in the era of Pluto in Aquarius, where the dark planet will stir the innovative and collective energies of the Uranian sign. We know that Pluto is one of those astrological symbols that acts slowly but significantly from within. Its revolution is profound, originating from the darkness of the unconscious, sometimes collective and sometimes individual.
As Pluto influences this season, it invites deep transformation and renewal. This planet’s slow orbit means its effects are long-lasting, shaping generations and their underlying psychological patterns. In Scorpio, Pluto’s energy is intensified, prompting us to confront and reconcile with our deepest fears, desires, and secrets. This process, while challenging, ultimately aims at purging what is outdated or unhealthy, fostering a powerful rebirth and regeneration of the self.
The Lady of Shalott: a mirror to Scorpio’s depths
There is a painting that I associate with this season and its depths, and it is “The Lady of Shalott” by John William Waterhouse. The painting depicts the medieval story of Elaine, a young woman who lives in a tower, cursed to never look directly at the village outside her tower. She finds a workaround to observe the outside world through a mirror, accepting the compromise. However, it is love that eventually awakens her courage to live despite everything. When she falls in love, she cannot restrain herself and looks out the window to see her beloved. The scene of this painting captures her as she sails on a boat across dark waters that lead her toward oblivion.
This image resonates deeply with Scorpio’s themes of transformation and confronting the forbidden. Like Elaine’s venture into the unknown, Scorpio season challenges us to face our own reflections and the shadows of our psyche, pushing us towards profound changes and emotional rebirth.
Elaine’s curse symbolizes the prisons of our fears, unresolved situations, and the chains we impose on ourselves. The mirror that Elaine uses as a workaround represents what we do when we don’t truly want to face the truth. The love that compels Elaine to leave her tower embodies Scorpio’s passionate, revolutionary energy, the boat that carries us on our journey of transformation and liberation. This narrative parallels Scorpio’s call to confront and transcend our innermost barriers, driving us towards profound personal growth and freedom.
