Scorpio is pissed. Who is he pissed with? And why? Is it a parent who neglected, abandoned him as a child, leaving a void of unmet emotional needs? Could it be crusty old Uncle Freddy, whose holiday stay left a dark, indelible mark on Scorpio’s psychosexual development? Daily beatings from a schoolyard bully? Or was it Father O’Reilly, down in the rectory basement?

Or is his grinding fury still brooding over a romantic rejection from a teenage sweetheart, or a former partner whose infidelity not only broke his trust but also his heart? Such a devastating breach could explain the lingering haunt of violation fueling his rage. Equally plausible is some resentment towards a workplace bully, whose constant torment might have left scars that time hasn’t healed.

Scorpio’s anger could also have broader, more systemic roots. He might be seething at an institution or corporation from which he was wronged so badly that it derailed his entire career path, or perhaps a financial establishment that ruthlessly stripped him of his life savings, a cruel exploitation of his good merit and earnest hard work. Moreover, his anger could be aimed at a government whose corrupt officials’ actions led to war, uprooting him from his homeland and forcing him into the life of a refugee, subjected to a lifetime of displacement, demeaning servitude and racist abuse.

Moreover, Scorpio’s seething wrath might transcend personal or even contemporary issues, delving deep into the chthonic realm of generational trauma. He might be grappling with the residual effects of ancestral tragedies, a curse of sorts that has plagued his lineage since the Dark Ages, leaving each generation to inherit the misery and destitution of the last.

Whatever it is, Scorpio ain’t telling. He remains tight-lipped, a testament to the sombre nature of his fixed water sign. Within him, he harbours a corrosively residual pool of concentrated pain and trauma that resonates through every cell, much like water – ever retaining, ever reverberating emotions. This wellspring of bitterness, though often concealed beneath the surface, is nevertheless potent and ever-present.

This emotional reservoir is not static; it charges Scorpio with a relentless sense of unfinished business, a compulsion for resolution that cannot be ignored. It’s as if each memory, each past slight or injustice, is a wave that bounces within the walls of his inner echo chamber, accumulating like a toxic sediment of anger and a thirst for retribution.

Thus, Scorpio carries within him an immense vitriol, a deep-seated need for vengeance. This is not mere anger; it is a crusade to right the perceived wrongs, to restore balance to the scales that have been so grievously tipped against him. This quest for retribution, or perhaps revenge, is not just a path he chooses; it’s a path he feels compelled to walk, akin to a soul possessed, driven by the intense emotional turmoil that defines his very essence.

However, as we know, water is the most adaptable of elements, its residual memory moulded by the shape of the vessel containing it. For Scorpio, this analogy holds deep significance. His emotions, like water, are subject to being influenced and constrained by the circumstances and environments that have shaped his life. The traumas, betrayals, and injustices he has experienced have formed the vessel that now holds his emotional essence, shaping his reactions, perceptions, and ultimately, his actions.

This malleability of memories suggests that while Scorpio’s emotions are intense and deep, they are also subject to change and evolution. The shape of his emotional responses and the nature of his memories are not fixed; they are influenced by his current experiences, perceptions, and personal growth. Just as water changes form to fit its container, Scorpio’s emotions and memories can transform as he navigates through different phases of his life.

This fluidity also means that Scorpio’s path towards healing or resolution is not linear. His journey of coping with and eventually overcoming the traumas and betrayals he has experienced is dynamic, constantly reshaped by new insights, relationships, and flashing realisations. His ability to adapt, to let his emotions flow and reshape, becomes a crucial aspect of his journey towards healing and finding peace. By recontextualising his past, understanding the deeper roots of his anger, and perhaps seeking closure, excoriating old layers of dead skin or exacting justice in a constructive manner, he can alter the shape of his emotional container, allowing for a new, more positive form of emotional memory to take hold.

In this light, Scorpio’s journey is not just one of seeking vengeance for wrongs perceived but also one of personal transformation and healing, guided by the fluid, ever-changing nature of his emotions.

As the dark Moon draws to its synodic reset in Scorpio, it threatens to align with Mars, the ancient ruler of this enigmatic and intense sign. This New Moon conjunction will mark a period of profound emotional and psychological depth, stirring the primordial waters of survival instinct and deep-seated desires.

Far from a mere astral occurrence, this celestial confluence is the first lunation after the spectacular Eclipse period of October, which saw world tensions reach a most brutal crescendo. Here, the Scorpio New Moon stings us like a cosmic catalyst, igniting the subterranean fires of Scorpio’s long-brewing rage and indignation. The multifaceted traumas Scorpio harbours – the familial betrayals, the sting of romantic treacheries, the systemic injustices that have marred his path, and the ancestral curses spurring his quest for survival and triumph – are now summoned to the fore by this alignment under this darkest of constellations.

Against Uranus

The triple conjunction of the Sun, Moon, and Mars in Scorpio, opposing Uranus in Taurus, creates a powerful cosmic tension. This alignment triggers an eruption of past ills, long buried in the hidden depths of Scorpio’s psyche, to rise to the surface for healing. Scorpio’s intense, transformative energy, aggravated by Mars, pushes for deep emotional catharsis and the unearthing of hidden truths.

Uranus in Taurus introduces a contrasting dynamic, symbolising awakening and radical change, particularly in areas related to values, resources, property, land and economic stability. This fixed opposition creates friction between Scorpio’s desire for deep, inner transformation and the disruptive, liberating forces of Uranus, an almighty clash between the urge to delve into the past and confront emotional traumas, and the need to break free from old fundamental and traditional patterns and start to adopt innovative new paradigms.

Beyond just a battle of wills between the old and new beckons a necessary but tumultuous upheaval for regrowth. The collective eruption of past traumas provides a chance for profound healing, while Uranus’s awakening forces challenge us to reimagine our future, to build upon a foundation of truth and authentic transformation. This may not be easy. Sometimes it’s better to remain pissed and not deal with the problem; keep it all bottled up inside. It’s the devil you know, and it sure feels like ours to want to perpetuate. But the time has come, and something seems like it has to give. Tragically, fixed signs find it hard to bend. There is almost always a break, and under a Mars/Uranus lunation, this will happen suddenly. What is initiated upon this lunation will have devastating consequences if not met with brilliance and insight into our current condition.

In essence, this period marks a pivotal point in our collective and individual journeys. It’s a time of intense emotional reckoning, yet also an opportunity for rebirth and renewal, as we navigate the delicate balance between confronting our deepest shadows and stepping boldly into a new, more enlightened existence.

Trine to Neptune

Neptune’s influence during this period acts as a soothing balm on the Scorpion’s sores, tempering the intense and often turbulent emotions stirred up by the Scorpio New Moon and its conjunction with Mars. Neptune, known for its association with healing, spirituality, and compassion, provides a much-needed counterbalance to the raw, penetrating energy of Scorpio. 

As Scorpio delves into the depths of emotional pain and trauma, Neptune’s trine offers a gentle, healing presence. This aspect brings a sense of calm and understanding, allowing for a more compassionate approach to deep-seated wounds. Neptune’s energy encourages forgiveness, both of self and others, and promotes a more empathetic understanding of the pain underlying Scorpio’s rage and desire for retribution.

This soothing influence is particularly significant given the intense and sometimes destructive nature of Scorpio’s emotions. Neptune’s presence can help mitigate the risk of getting lost in these emotions, providing a guiding light towards healing and transcendence. It offers a reminder that amidst the turmoil, there is an opportunity for spiritual growth and the release of old patterns that no longer serve.

Neptune’s trine also enhances intuition and psychic sensitivity, allowing for a deeper connection with the subconscious mind. This connection can reveal insights into the root causes of pain and anger, facilitating a more profound healing process. It encourages Scorpio to look beyond the surface, to understand the deeper spiritual lessons and growth opportunities presented by their challenges.

We all have Scorpio somewhere in our chart; somewhere where we carry the pain, either holding it in or projecting it outwardly upon others.
