Ready or not, Scorpio is here. And for some of us, it’s here just in the nick of time.
Scorpio must feel that with each life project, they are going to come out reborn from the process.
Scorpio is that ‘go big or go home’ energy. It’s driven by intensity and the need to get to the bottom of things. When its influence falls upon you, there’s no escaping its hypnotic gaze. Are you close to any Scorpio’s? They tend to be a pretty dynamic, passionate bunch. Back when I was living in San Francisco and learning about astrology, I lived with Scorpio twins, who also happen to be two of the coolest artists I know. They were incredibly motivated by their creativity and would sometimes work all through the night and into the morning on a painting. I had never met people with such aliveness and still to this day, I thank them for setting that example and pushing me to dig into my own metaphysical studies with such determination and verve. But for them, it wasn’t entirely about the art. Their enthusiasm was a reaction to the creative energy bursting through their eyes and hands onto the canvas. I’m sure they wanted sleep.

As my boyfriend, The Aquarius, and I were walking through the quiet, charming community where his mother lives, we stared up to the vast sky and took in the burgeoning moon. I wondered aloud what this upcoming Aries full moon would be about. Thankfully, I’m graced with a man who totally gets it and has not just an interest but also an understanding of the way the cosmos operate. So we talked it out and hypothesized, all while taking into deep consideration that a full moon brings the need for release while the Aries nature is all go-go-go and interested in new beginnings. We came to some conclusions, but I still didn’t feel like I completely comprehended its message. I blame the wine. 
How do we create a life that feels completely balanced and more our own? 
We have to allow ourselves to go beyond the beyond. 
Aquarians want nothing more but to live up to the ideals of a harmonious world. 
Many moons ago, when I was first introduced to astrology, someone looked at my chart and said that I had Leo problems. “What the hell does that mean”, I asked her. As far as I knew, the last guy I had dated (and by dated, I mean made out with for a week) was named Isaac. “You have a problem with letting yourself take center stage”, she said. Now those who have known me long enough can confirm that though I have never been shy, I certainly have found myself being more comfortable in the background. Well, in the past at least. Nowadays, I still have some trouble leading with confidence, but I certainly do enjoy the spotlight a bit more. However, that took some work and time. 
Let presence be life’s co-writer.
I recently had dinner with one of my dearest friends from college, The Leo. The two of us hadn’t seen each other in far too long. I have been busy with work and being in love and she has been swamped under owning her own business and being impeccably fabulous. It was so lovely to dig into each other’s lives and do the catch-up dance, especially with someone who truly knows me and vice versa, insecurities and all. The conversation ended up being quite a bit about me and my confusion around certain areas of my life. It’s certainly nothing that a good friend and two glasses of wine can’t help. As we spoke, I found myself building to this crescendo of a statement. I said, “I just miss the guy that I used to be. 
If we look back on the life we have lived thus far, we are able to see what chameleons we each can be.
Without that shift in consciousness where you tell yourself that something is possible, there’s no way for that ‘something’ to enter your life.
