Mars enters Scorpio

Mars the planet of desire and determination has entered Scorpio as of 9 December 2017.  This placement for the next 6 weeks needs to be used to its advantage otherwise rather destructive behaviour will result.  In order to use its optimal energy, I encourage you to use this time to help you figure out 'what makes you tick'.  What truly motivates you in your job/relationships.  This is a time where mars will sit next to Jupiter (exact around 7 January 2018) which will amplify the Scorpio traits (i.e. passion, drive to succeed, physical energy, initiative, aggression, intimacy, fears, investing).  It is a great time to give you confidence in making the next step in whatever desires you have been holding back on.  The only downside to this is it could make you over confident so make sure you don't make rash decisions, make sure they are thought through thoroughly.  It is a time where our unconscious fears/paranoia will come up to be dealt with (Jupiter is already helping heal these aspects of ourselves).  Its a time where we can really work with our psych and listen to our hidden motivations.  Whenever a planet is is in Scorpio we are always dealings themes of transformation, trust and working closer to our truth.  Take the time to work with this energy wisely otherwise you may be snapping, manipulating and getting aggressive.  Look to your Natal Chart to the house ruled by Scorpio to get a more in depth understanding how this is effecting you.  If you need your chart done or have questions feel free to get a reading set up with me via my website.
