Robert Phoenix » Enter Scorpio — Void Of Course Election, The Power of Transformation, Opening The Inner Eye

I can’t help it–it’s my nature
The breezy equilibrium of Libra has left us. The energy that supports win-win still lingers in Mercury catching up to speed in Libra, but the dominant solar expression has passed. Welcome Scorpio. I’m a bit of an oddity to most of my friends. I have little trouble staring into the pitch black darkness of world events and what some people might consider conspiratorial or hidden agenda programming. I think that this might have something to do with my ascendant, which is 28 degrees Scorpio and my Mars in my eighth house at 0 degrees Cancer. I am drawn to whatever is beneath the surface and am learning to transform the intensity of the information. This blog is an exercise in an ongoing personal alchemy that I share.
The energy of Scorpio allows us to get down and crawl into the places where we seek to understand motivations, machinations and the gears that turn the human psyche towards action. The energy also comprises intensity, depth, passion, and an affinity to summon the forces of chaos in such a way that they become the energy behind magic and ritual, thus Scorpio is often associated with the occult and witchcraft, anything that is taboo, including but not exclusive to sex.
Obviously, with the general election breathing down on our necks, this month of Scorpio is marked by a layer of social intensity that happens once every four years. It’s no coincidence that the last two elections were besmirched by voter fraud, malfunction and malfeasance. As I noted previously, the 2000 general election when Bush defeated Al Gore, Mercury was retrograde in Scorpio. It returns to the degree that it went retrograde in 2000 the day after this years election. Something will come full cycle. Some hidden aspect of that fateful election, in true Scorpionic fashion, will come to light. (more…)
