What Scorpio Season Taught Us About Grief & What Sagittarius Season Will Teach Us About Moving Forward
The last four weeks of Scorpio season may have been emotionally challenging for those who choose to go inwards and dig deep on what needs to be healed, whether that be trust, security or safety.
The turbulent waters of this last astrological season were eye-opening, highlighting what was delusional for us, where we placed our time, energy and money. What and who we bet on to come through for us and who didn’t and couldn’t simply show up for us. One thing it left us with was how to show up for ourselves.
It showed us what love looks like for us, where it holds that place in our hearts, and what that may look like for others we hoped we’d get it from.
The emotional depths of this season were no joke when it came to feeling safe within ourselves and how we came to the conclusions of ending loops that showed up for us and the death and destruction of the foundational elements we allowed into our crazy little internal worlds. It highlighted who has and who had a place.
Designating a place for people at our table is always a vast choice, but you may have decided to go it alone this season, and here’s why.
When emotions, actions and words arent aligned, it causes a state of flux within our nervous system and disturbs the soul in quite a way that causes harm to our phycological thoughts. While these thoughts may not be entirely rational, they do, however, bring to light the things that need mentally processing within us, which ultimately leads to our healing.
The level of emotional processing is apportioned to how deeply you are prepared to look behind the looking glass. What you may have found was how and where your boundaries may have slipped and where the facade of people, events and places once looked beautiful before now look somewhat dull.
Grief is defined as intense sorrow. Death is defined as the action or fact of dying or being killed; the end of the life of a person or organism. While death may or may not occur in the literal sense, and maybe it did for some. It can also pertain to parts of your life that once had meaning and potential for life that may no longer be there for you or someone else.
The loss of a loved one, a relationship or a life you thought you had or how someone presented themselves can trigger intense sorrow because once you see and feel it, that feeling of joy has died within you.
Acceptance is defined as the process or fact of being received as adequate, valid, or suitable. Acceptance is the stage we arrive at after the mental and emotional processing of loss. Within that acceptance, we can choose to leave people, places and situations exactly where they are, and we can decide to move forward. While along it’s hard to accept situations we didn’t choose and situations and people that ultimately didn’t choose us, that where the genuine acceptance is.
While The Scorpion denotes Scorpio season, and then we all know the Scorpion has a sting in its tail, what the Scorpion also does, gives us a choice to move gracefully. Make its mark and exit with grace and dignity.
This is a valuable lesson learned this last month. If it is not matched with love and respect, distance is the only true match.
How do we move forward?
The centaur of Sagittarius season is a mystical creature who carries a bow and arrow, and the aim is always pointed forward. The centaur is a half beast, half man — with one foot on the earthly plane and one foot in the higher realms of consciousness. You are integrating both domains to move forward and take the higher learnings of the last astrological season and allow us to transmute lessons from Scorpio season and turn that into our very own blessings.
Jupiter, the planet of luck, rules Sagittarius, and if you danced with your dark shadows — you might have cleared some space to be able to process the last few weeks and formulate a plan where you feel acceptance and confidence to move forward on your journey. A mistake we can often make is that we are to journey with other people.
Hopefully, the never endings loops that played out during 2021 that came to a head in the season will find you in a graceful place that will allow you to bow out gracefully and no more extending force that doesn’t fit.
Trying to heal, while trying to grieve, while trying to live, while trying to dream, while trying to smile, while trying to give love, and while trying to be love — is quite simply the message to process last season and find ways to elevate yourself this season.
