Welcome to Scorpio Season!

The zodiac sign of Scorpio is represented by Death in the tarot major arcana

Welcome to Scorpio season! 10/22/24-11/21/24

If you’ve been feeling the pull to explore the unknown—whether it’s the hidden corners of your own psyche or daring to take a peek behind the veil that separates the physical and spiritual realms, you are not alone. Scorpio energy thrives amidst the mysterious, the macabre, and in unearthing what lies beneath the surface.

Some of these things aren’t so pretty, but life isn’t always rainbows and sunshine, is it? Scorpio season is when we get real with ourselves and others. It’s when we dare to explore what lurks in the shadows, what goes “bump” in the night. We embrace our dark side by embodying our alter ego, whether through costumes, home decor, and even in the way we interact with world around us.

There’s just something about the “vibe” this time of year…

During “spooky” season, we give ourselves permission to step into our more mysterious, powerful selves. We confront the fears and secrets that have been hiding in the corners of our minds by cavorting with them. As we release judgement and accept the invitation to “dance with the devil” for just a little while, we realize that every shadow does indeed, have a lesson to teach.

The major arcana tarot card that is associated with Scorpio is Death. The image on this card can be quite jarring to the uninitiated, but it stands as a powerful symbol of transformation. It is said that death is but a transition of energy from one plane of existence to another. Look closely at the image on this card. Do you see the sunrise in the background, and the flowing waterfall? Death is nothing to fear. The old energy is being cleared out to make room for something new. The process is not always comfortable, but it is necessary.

Scorpio season invites you to reflect on the areas of your life that feel stagnant—whether it’s a job you’ve outgrown, a hobby that no longer excites you, or a friendship/relationship that feels stuck. These aren’t just external challenges; they’re signs that you are undergoing a deep, internal transformation. Scorpio’s energy pushes you to confront what is no longer working and to ask yourself, “What am I ready to release in order to make room for new growth?”

So, what shadows will you be exploring this Scorpio season? And what do you expect to find there? Keep an open mind as you’re bound to encounter some interesting dance partners along the way, all of which have something to teach you. Give yourself permission to engage in the dance; no matter how uncomfortable it feels at first, and trust that every step you take is leading you closer to a more authentic, empowered version of yourself.

Happy Scorpio season everyone!

Tarot Forecast 8/29-9/4/22: Integrity, value, authority.

Powerful cards this week: The Emperor, Seven of Wands, The Hierophant

We just had the new moon in Virgo on August 27th wherein we had the opportunity to set a new intention. This week, the moon is in its waxing (increasing) phase as it travels through the signs of Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. These tarot cards (Emperor, Seven of Wands, Hierophant) reflect powerful energies corresponding to the signs of Aries, Leo and Taurus. The words integrity, valor and authority are coming to mind as the overall theme for this reading.

Moon in Libra – The Emperor. Consistency, focus, leadership and discipline is the message from The Emperor for the beginning of the week. Set appropriate boundaries and stick to them. You may be in a leadership role or the main decision maker at home or work. Or this card can reflect someone in your life with these qualities. Some of you may have recently been promoted. You may need to set some rules or re-establish your authority within your relationships, at work or in a situation. Don’t assume people know what you want. Communicate your expectations clearly. Be firm but fair.

Moon in Scorpio: In the middle of the week, the Seven of Wands indicates that your resolve may be tested. You may be required to defend your position. Have the courage to face this challenge head-on, sooner is better than later. If this is a serious concern, it may be time to take this to a higher level such as human resources, a lawyer, therapist, supervisor, etc. On a lesser scale, stand up and speak up. This is the perfect opportunity to establish yourself as someone that is to be respected. This is a card of holding one’s ground. It’s a fiery combination of Mars in Leo. You can win this! Fortune favors the brave.

Moon in Sagittarius: At the end of the week, The Hierophant upright is a good sign! It denotes integrity and moral values. Whatever you were going through this week, your actions were justified. I also see this as the truth coming out in a situation. No matter what the outcome was, you won this one, because you stood up for yourself and made sure your voice was heard. Even if this was not necessarily a monumental life event, it may very well have resulted in an important spiritual growth lesson for you.

Have a great week everyone!

Tarot Forecast for 8/15-8/21/22. The only way to go from here is up! Karmic shift, justice, crystal information.

Eight of Swords (reversed), Wheel of Fortune, Justice (Light Seers Tarot)

So, we are in the aftermath of the recent powerful Super Full Moon in Aquarius, and now the moon is just beginning its waning (reducing) phase traveling primarily through the signs of Taurus and Gemini this week.

At the beginning of the week, we have the eight of swords reversed. Let’s be honest. We’ve all been here. Sometimes life gets rough and it gets the better of us. We can feel stuck, depressed, trapped. But look closely at this card. I love the artist’s interpretation of the reversed eight of swords in the Light Seers Tarot. We are witnessing the moment wherein she realizes who she is. The bonds are broken, the blindfold is off, and she is just about to rise up off her knees. A shift in perspective makes all the difference. If this is you, I’m cheering you on! The only way to go from here is up!

Mid-week, we have the Wheel of Fortune upright. Your mental shift earlier in the week pays off! This has freed up space for the Universe to bring in some good things. Stay open as the energies are influx. Literally, when the Wheel of Fortune is upright, anything could happen! You may get a new job, raise or promotion, begin a new project, experience a renewed sense of faith, health or confidence, receive good news, have a download of creative ideas, or perhaps a legal matter is finally concluded. Look at the images in the first two cards. This is a big shift. Our lady goes from being on her knees, to a perfectly balanced yoga “tree pose” at the top of the Wheel of Fortune! What just happened? Your future just took a turn for the better.

At the end of the week, as the moon travels through the quick moving air sign of Gemini, we have another major arcana card, Justice. You might sign a contract, wrap up a negotiation, speak your truth, give notice at work, sell or buy a home, or perhaps karmic or court justice (or both as the case may be) is served. Two, out of the three cards here are major arcana. This can denote important life themes or that universal/cosmic energies are exerting their influence.

This could be a big week for some of you. There is an opportunity for a peaceful resolution or a positive change. Something is granted, rewarded or released. Balance is restored.

The crystals I chose for this reading are kyanite and labradorite.

Kyanite is a potent stone that clears away negativity. Similar to selenite, it has the ability to cleanse and clear other crystals that are in close proximity to it. Its “broom” shape can be used in a symbolic “sweeping” motion to clear away negative or foggy energy from our auric field, other crystals, altar or space.

Labradorite is primarily used as a meditation and/or “psychic stone”, although it has many other properties as well. It aids us in connecting with higher realms of consciousnesses and the Akashic records. It promotes peace within our mind, body and emotions, allowing for restful sleep. Its protective nature helps to banish fears within our subconscious aiding us in releasing blocks so that we can access the full potential of our magick within. It inspires faith in oneself and trust in the divine process.

The dove feather symbolizes peace and restored faith. Have a great week everyone! ❤️

Tarot forecast 8/1-8/8/22. Stay in your grace, keep it moving.

This week’s tarot forecast for 8/1-8/7/22

The moon is in its waxing, increasing phase this week as it travels through the signs of Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. It will be in its first quarter phase on Friday. The sun is currently in the zodiac sign of fiery, charismatic Leo.

This energetic combination has us feeling good! For ya’lls tarot messages this week, I’ve pulled three cards corresponding to each of the signs that the moon will be traveling through. Let’s do this!

Libra: (Tues/Wed): Knight of Pentacles. This is my slow and steady wins the race card. Keep your eye on the prize! Stay balanced in your thoughts and actions. If you begin to drift, ask yourself is this leading me closer to my goal, or taking me further away from my goal? I also received the message that some of ya’ll have been in Hermit mode for far too long. Knights indicate movement. Get up and get moving! Take advantage of this fabulous Leo sun energy! Make the effort to meet some new people, network, check out some different places, etc. Our Knight of Pentacles is heading in the direction of two beautiful upright Queens! There is an opportunity or special someone that is out there waiting for you. Look at this image again. These two Queens appear to be beckoning our Knight to them. Whatever this is, it will not come to you. You must go to it.

The Leo sun is squaring the moon in Scorpio (Thurs/Fri): This is an interesting aspect. Something weird may come up. I don’t see this as a big deal though. Perhaps someone with a dry sense of humor makes a comment for example, that makes you wonder, what the heck was that supposed to mean? Or maybe someone said or did something earlier in the week that rubbed you the wrong way, and you are replaying the interaction over again in your mind. They probably weren’t even aware of it or maybe it was just a little dig, because they just can’t handle your fabulous vibe! If need be, write down your observation or make a mental note, and move on. Believe me, you have better things to focus on. LOL!! Stay in your grace and put this behind you.

(Saturday/Sunday): Art, music, magick, travel, socializing, what lights your fire? The Queen of Wands is pure inspiration! Look at the image here! She is asking you to tap into a “flow” state of being to access your creativity. Don’t overthink it. There is magick in the air. The Universe is manifesting something special for you. Trust your intuition and pay attention to the signs spirit is sending you. You may experience some unexpected good luck this weekend. This is also a good time to do some manifestation and/or candle magic.

I love you all, have a great week!
