The Sacred Union, the Cru­cible of Immortality

Now you enter the place of mys­tery and mag­ic; the holy realm that is known as the “Tem­ple of Alche­my”. It is here that you will find the source of your quick­en­ing, the leav­en­ing of your spir­i­tu­al poten­tial through a hier­ar­chy of com­bi­na­tions, col­lab­o­ra­tions and syn­the­ses. This is the heart and soul of Spir­it; this is the Way of the Divine which is made man­i­fest in the sacred dances of Spir­i­tu­al Union.

In Libra you forge the space of I and Thou, and it is there that you must strive to con­scious­ly set the con­di­tions for one another’s expe­ri­ence of one anoth­er. There you formed the implied and explic­it pat­terns and con­di­tions between I and Thou, “the third space of We”. This is the true space of your “free­dom to be and become”, and it is shaped by your under­stand­ing of your­self and of one anoth­er. You deter­mine what you seek from and need to give to one anoth­er, guid­ed by your rea­son, and so you form the mutu­al­ly agreed upon prin­ci­ples and rules, often formed into laws and con­tracts, that will make pos­si­ble your mutu­al self-fulfillment.

But it is here in the “Cru­cible of Union” that that the real “work of the soul” is done. Here you move beyond the “airy” rea­sons of Libra into the “watery” realm of feel­ings held by Scor­pio. It is here in the sacred cen­ters that are every­where and in every­thing, it is here where the promise of indi­vid­u­a­tion, of your real­iza­tion of your indi­vid­u­al­i­ty and the ful­fill­ment of your unique promise is forged through your sac­ri­fices to and for one another.

It is by these sacred acts of self-tran­scen­dence, of giv­ing up the less­er parts of your­self in order to bring forth the greater that is with­in and between you, it is this which makes and moves you into your greater or high­er self. It is here in the realm of alchem­i­cal trans­for­ma­tions where you become for one anoth­er the very means of spir­i­tu­al awak­en­ing; it is here where you encounter the mys­ter­ies of love and loss, of birth, death and rebirth, and it is here that you expe­ri­ence the inti­ma­tions and proof of your own immor­tal­i­ty too.

Yes, you can­not become tru­ly human with­out one anoth­er; you are made of one anoth­er and become what you are by all the many inter­ac­tions that you have with one anoth­er. It is here in Scor­pio that you con­scious­ly choose to do this: Here you must will­ing­ly give up some less­er part of your­self (and so dis­cov­er some deep­er truth, some fin­er qual­i­ty of being with­in you both), as you share, hon­or and lift one anoth­er into a more sub­lime real­i­ty. And this can only hap­pen because you face and over­come your fear of rejec­tion and loss.

You take a risk in reach­ing out to one anoth­er, (but you real­ly have noth­ing “to lose”), and as long as you remain true to your­self, anchored in your love and cen­tered in your truth, you will find the path togeth­er to your greater selves.

Yes, in Scor­pio you expe­ri­ence the heights and the depths, the unimag­in­able joy of pierc­ing beyond the illu­sion of being alone and sep­a­rate, and so become more tru­ly one with one anoth­er. Yet you will also expe­ri­ence the awful pain of when that inevitably ends, when they leave or are “tak­en” from you. Here in Scor­pio you face the ulti­mate truths and they leave you speech­less, you are struck dumb and with­out words.

You can­not expe­ri­ence the gift of Love with­out the agony of loss; you can­not have Joy with­out pain for they are insep­a­ra­ble. Here you must bow you head and open your heart to that mys­tery where two become one is made real, and then you must equal­ly be ready, at some point, to say to one anoth­er, “fare thee well, until we meet again.”

Yes, it is in Scor­pio, (and you have Scor­pio some place in your chart), where you will find your­self beyond words, as you encounter the great­est joys and the most ago­niz­ing pains. You expe­ri­ence the unimag­in­able joy of union, of trans­for­ma­tion and self-tran­scen­dence, the redemp­tion and release from your less­er self. But you equal­ly face the great­est fears and pains, of rejec­tion, of loss of your beloved, and you equal­ly face your own mor­tal­i­ty too.

Yes, it is said that Scor­pio is the “strongest” sign; It is stronger, because it needs to be.

Yes, you feel this now, you know the truth that makes you tremble…everything and every­one will die, and you ask your­self “what hope can remain after this?” Well, it comes from this…this expe­ri­ence which is “real” is also anoth­er illu­sion. It is not your spir­it or soul that is lost, it is just the form that you were in for a very short time. You (and all of cre­ation), are Immor­tals in mor­tal mat­ter. This dance of Spir­it and your Spir­it-Form are eter­nal; and you will move through form after form, into life after life, meet­ing one anoth­er again and again and again, so that you may smile and laugh and dance and love once more, as you have so many, many times before.

You have noth­ing to fear; you are an Immor­tal mov­ing through mor­tal realms. You are here to be for one anoth­er the very liv­ing instru­ments that lift one anoth­er to live by the Light and Love that is the “Warp and Weft” of the whole of Cre­ation. What is with­in you sur­rounds and sus­tains you; It is Spir­it whose Ener­gy-Form you know as Love. The illu­sion of your mor­tal exis­tence is this feel­ing of sep­a­ra­tion, and your mov­ing beyond this each time in your Scor­pio Unions will ulti­mate­ly free you from the fear of death and bring you to the promised land of Immortality.

This is the gift and truth of Scorpio.

You have noth­ing to fear, for you are an Immortal.

You were made by love, and you are here to love.

You are here for one anoth­er, because you are all part of one another.

And all you have to do, is let go of your fear,

And Love one another.
