Sun in the 8th Sign of Sidereal Scorpio
As the most mysterious sign in the zodiac, Scorpio brings emotional intensity to the surface in sudden and unexpected ways. Scorpio deals with secrecy, jealously, and hidden knowledge. It's the 8th sign of the zodiac, so it's associated with the 8th house, where things go to break down and break apart. So this energy can be quite challenging. The 8th house is a dusthana house that literally means “challenge.”
But it's not all doom and gloom; in fact, the energies of Scorpio are just the opposite.
There is immense power and emotional control that, when harnessed for growth, can transform a person into living their truth and connected beliefs.
Scorpio is the feminine expression of Mars, a planet of courage and strength. Scorpio deals with emotional courage, but it doesn't come easy. The fixed waters of Scorpio feel smothering to Mars, so there is this eternal desire to break free, but fear often lingers in the mind. If something is meant to go, we need to let it, because holding on will only create friction. And when the rope becomes frayed, the breaking points are exposed, and it's only a matter of time before the weakest parts give way.
Once the rope breaks, the floodgates are opened, and the change can feel nothing shy of traumatic. This is Scorpio, the deep, still waters where our emotions are held. And when the Sun enters Scorpio, it is as if shining a light down into the dark, hidden feelings that are now just below the surface. This sounds dramatic, but we are talking about Scorpio, after all.
Mars, the planet of action, becomes emotionally reactive as expressed by Scorpio. Sun and Mars are great friends, so the purifying light of the Sun is the perfect energy to clean the house, clear out emotional clutter, and even physical clutter. Wherever Scorpio is in your chart is where your hidden potential is stored, and through those difficult and uncomfortable moments comes wisdom and beliefs worth being courageous for.
