The Time of Scor­pio is at hand…

You stand before the Eighth Portal.

You have come togeth­er, hold­ing hands,

But now you face the ulti­mate Illu­sion and Promise.

You face the divide that lies between “I and thou”,

That you are sep­a­rate from one another.

You will have your Sal­va­tion by your Faith,

Which is found­ed upon the Greater Understanding,

That you and I are “One”,

For­ev­er.

You are an immor­tal, abid­ing for a time in this won­drous mor­tal frame.

There is no form which will last, for every “thing” must pass away.

You have no eter­nal phys­i­cal body or even name of you,

For you are Spir­it, and at the core of you burns a Spir­i­tu­al Spark of the Divine.

Your one Imper­a­tive, your truest call­ing, is to grow, to learn…and so become.

You must move in, and through and then beyond any one form.

For each of these embod­i­ments is both a fulfillment,

and your prison too.

Beside you, with­in you, a Lumi­nous Pres­ence in your journeys,

Inspir­ing, Guid­ing and Lov­ing the whole stream­ing Lives of these forms of you,

There abides Pure Love, there is your Beloved, who is your sil­ver chord to the One,

The One from which all came, and to which all will one day return.

Your High­er Self moves with you through all these Worlds and Lives,

Yet ever-lift­ing and draw­ing you clos­er to an even greater you,

Beyond any life or world, you ascend to ever more sub­tle forms of Self-Realization.

You must be born into form, and you also must release, again and again.

You cel­e­brate this life, but quake at the por­tal of the next, which you call death.

You want to live for­ev­er, yet your Immor­tal­i­ty was already a given.

You will come to real­ize the Truth,

That you live only in “the Eter­nal Now”,

That you were, are and will always be in motion,

Through Worlds, and Forms and Lives.

There is no ces­sa­tion, no still­ness that abides.

You have names for your pas­sages, from mys­tery to mystery,

What you mar­vel and fear, these Births and Deaths, they are mere doorways,

For you are Spir­it, and your path leads ever onward.

You are nev­er alone, and your Lives and Loves are always with you…

They are you.

You have formed one anoth­er and your Paths are spun and twinned together.

You are a host of energies/experiences, of count­less lives then and now.

From a Star you went forth, with a whole hosts of Lights,

You all went forth togeth­er to become this Uni­verse of I and Thou.

From this lit­tle Cos­mos of your Cre­ation, yes you, and you and you,

All of you will become Stars your­self someday.

For that is your Destiny.

From One into many lives, from a Star to being a host of many Stars and then beyond,

You are here to rise above the great Illu­sion that is Separation,

You are here to cross the divide between “I and Thou”,

You will come to see and know,

That you Live in the Light of the One.

That you are embraced in the love for one another,

The won­drous reflec­tion of the Love of the One.

You, you are a pre­cious spark of Light Divine,

And you are here to Grow into a Sun.

This is the month of Scor­pio, and these Truths about and lessons in your Mor­tal­i­ty and Immor­tal­i­ty are the core of this sign’s Song of Spir­it. With­in each and every one of you, some essen­tial part of you is Scor­pio, some­where this Song sings of your Truth. Of your long­ing to be part of some­thing greater, to belong with and be for one anoth­er, to join in Unions of Self-Tran­scen­dence and break your Fear of Rejec­tion, the Fear of Loss, the Fear of Death.

Make no mis­take, this is a big day for you and for Scor­pio too…

Today the Sun Enters Scor­pio, and there is a New Moon in Scor­pio, and that New Moon is a Solar Eclipse, and Venus Enters Scor­pio too! It would be awful­ly hard to miss the mes­sage of the stars with so much being offered to you now.

When­ev­er a Sign begins with a New Moon, there is a rein­forc­ing empha­sis of its mes­sage, it is even more sacred and spe­cial. The next few Sign tran­si­tions will be like this, the Sun chang­ing Signs along with a New Moon, and this series of New Moons will lead to a very spe­cial New Moon at end of this year, at the begin­ning of a new sea­son in Capri­corn. That align­ment will indeed be accom­pa­nied by sacred cer­e­monies and ini­ti­a­tions for those who are ready.

You will feel this tran­si­tion today, from Air to Water, from Thought to Feel­ing. The three Water Signs are about “Con­nec­tiv­i­ty”: In Can­cer you re-affirm and re-con­nect to the roots of you, to your Fam­i­ly and Home, to your Cul­tur­al and Spir­i­tu­al Foun­da­tions, and from this Cen­ter­ing upon your Ori­gins you can feel that you “Belong” to this flow of Being that is Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it. In the last Water Sign of Pisces, you open your­self to the bound­less­ness of Spir­it and Cre­ation, feel­ing-know­ing your­self to be an essen­tial part of the Greater Life of Spir­it. You Find Joy and Peace in Know­ing that you are tru­ly one with the One, and your Faith becomes your Truth, your Des­tiny ful­filled as an Illu­mined co-cre­ator of this Creation.

And so here, in Scor­pio, you feel that most pre­cious, per­son­al con­nec­tion, that I and you have joined togeth­er, fac­ing one anoth­er, let­ting go of our fears, so that as we release our­selves from the less­er we are able to build upon the greater Val­ues and Love that we share. We turn towards one anoth­er and join in sacred unions of self-tran­scen­dence which become the very instru­ment of our self-ful­fill­ment by and through our uncon­di­tion­al love for one another.

I wrote about this par­tic­u­lar New Moon Eclipse in my Gen­er­al Forecast:

Solar Par­tial Eclipse (Octo­ber 23)

The final Eclipse of the year is a Par­tial Solar Eclipse at 0 degrees of Scor­pio. Here is infor­ma­tion about the Eclipse and where it will be vis­i­ble, which begins off of Kam­chat­ka, Rus­sia and races over to Cana­da and most of the Unit­ed States.

On this first day of Scor­pio, when you again take up a most awe­some task (that you will encounter again and again in your jour­ney upon this Earth), you face the Spir­i­tu­al Neces­si­ty of over­com­ing the Illu­sion that is your expe­ri­ence of Sep­a­ra­tion. Today you now meet this moment with the added empha­sis and pow­er brought by the eclipse. A deep­er seed­ing of mean­ing will be offered to those who have the courage to look beyond appear­ances and seek for the under­ly­ing truth.

Every New Moon is spe­cial, and each Solar Eclipse forges an even greater offer­ing of guid­ance and inspi­ra­tion for that expe­ri­ence of that Sign. But even more is offered to you today. For with the Sun enter­ing Scor­pio and also align­ing with an eclipse of the Moon, Venus also par­takes in this “Triple Con­junc­tion of Truth”.

As you make your attempts to bet­ter join with one anoth­er, to lay aside fear and show your strength by your will­ing­ness to offer one anoth­er a space to share togeth­er, as you reveal your char­ac­ter and spir­i­tu­al grace by replac­ing your cau­tion, self-doubt and fear of rejec­tion with your open­ness and vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty, Venus here too will come to lend you a hand.

For the entrance of Venus, your Avatar of Love, into Scor­pio reminds you that you have noth­ing to fear but fear. That you are here to Love your­self, and you are here to love one anoth­er as your­self too…for how could you not. For who stands before you is some­one who long ago, and today and in many lives to come will be one of the ones who made and will make you who you are. You are already made of one anoth­er, you are all mixed up togeth­er, for ages and ages, and the Illu­sion that you must wash away is the sep­a­ra­tion that seems to be between you.

You are found­ed in Love…

You have forged one anoth­er by your many Lives of Lov­ing one anoth­er too…

You will become what you will by being Co-Cre­ators of this Creation…

Your Cre­ation, which is held togeth­er by the Light that is Spirit,

And you will Know and Feel this Light as Love.
