You’re witnessing a time of change in the coming days! We had the eclipse in Libra last week, and now we’re welcoming in an entirely different energy. Welcome to Scorpio season! Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) pull an unchanging and almost predictable nature out of things. These signs give us the power to sit with the more uncomfortable side of life; whether that’s emotions, people, or places (especially during the upcoming winter season).
This week I’ll walk you through the best way to work with Scorpio season and help you work with the transits to optimize your mental health.
Tuesday tunes 🎵
This is a repeat, but it’s been ringing true for me as of late. There’s something so perfect about starting my day with this song while looking out onto the mountain-filled horizon as the leaves are changing colors this time of year. Everything about the lyrics, rhythm, and vocalist’s style is just - chef kiss.
“And you thought that you didn't deserve it
Well, you're wrong
And you've got so much on your shoulders
Stay strong”
The current star forecast 🌠
Oct 20 | Sun + Mercury connection | You’ll feel an obvious amplification of Libra energy in the air this day. With this transit, it’s important to take stock of your inner monologue and see if you’re acting in a way that’s true to yourself, or getting stuck in wondering how you’re perceived. You might notice getting tied up in "heart vs brain” phenomena. Don’t let yourself get too caught up in the finer details. Take this as a reminder not to be too ideal in your choices. It’s okay to make mistakes, and even if you’re the most calculated person in the world, mistakes or mishaps happen. The beauty is sometimes these mishaps act as a cloak when the universe is actually pushing you in a different (and sometimes needed) direction. Sometimes we can get so caught up in what we “should” be doing, getting caught up in the ether, instead of living in the moment.
Oct 22 | Mercury enters Scorpio | You’ll be less inclined to overshare, and if you do, odds are you’ll ruminate on it all day. Take extra steps to protect your mind, as well as your communication. Be crystal clear with your words, but not so much so that they’re harsh or offputting (unless the other end deserves it, of course). You might feel some tension in meetings, or see some excess emotions bubble up. This is definitely the transit to be super mindful of when it comes to your communication. On one end, you don’t want to come across as sterile or cold. But on the other hand, it might be difficult to articulate what you’re feeling without getting too emotional or candid. If you feel like your emotions are getting the best of you, instead of releasing them in an uncalculated way - try something more constructive. It might feel good for the moment to unleash on someone, but it’s important to choose kindness, even when it’s hard. Oftentimes, in my own experience, these times of letting the emotional floodgates down have never worked in my favor. Thankfully, Scorpio is skilled at keeping those walls protected, but it’s important not to let the banks overflow.
Oct 23 | Sun in Scorpio | We’re switching from the liberal and open collective energy of Libra to Scorpio's more secretive and protective energy. Don’t shy away from any inner callings to take more space from your social circle. It’s a natural ebb and flow necessary for recharging your social battery. If you feel the need to indulge in feeding your connections, make sure you’re doing so in a healthy way - and not pushing yourself beyond your means. Sometimes the change in seasons, and loss of daylight, can make us feel quite grim. Take this as an opportunity to restructure how you connect with your community. Opt for more personal and intimate settings like; potluck with friends or movie nights. Anything where you can connect while still preserving your outward energy is a go. It might be a good time to examine if you’re engaging in these more personal opportunities to connect with your friends (or are you just going out for the sake of going out?) Sit with the question “is this community feeding my soul?”

What’s in my cup ☕
Have you ever mixed green tea with other herbal infusions? I recently started adding green tea to my non-caffeinated tea blends, and the results have been nothing but spectacular. I’m one to reach for a certain tea out of habit, and that often leads to getting burnt out on certain flavors. Mixing in white pine, or even rose petals completely changes the experience. If you happen to give this a try to your normal morning brew, let me know your combinations by replying to this email.
Looking for some deeper self-reflection? See how last week’s transits manifested in your life. Let me know where there were any connections, or how the planets showed up by simply replying to this email!
