THE DARK FEMININE Daily Astrology Sun 11th Oct The Moon enters Scorpio, joining Mercury and Venus, and squaring Mars and Pluto, the 2 rulers of Scorpio. This is a very feminine and very Scorpionic day. Venus is retrograde, so we are peering into the feminine depths. As a man, perhaps I'm not qualified to do so! The Water signs lead the way home in different ways. Scorpio reminds us of the mysterious depths that are the real source of our living. It is not the will and clear goals. There is a place for them, but they are in the service of the deeper Scorpionic currents that swirl close to the cycles of birth, life and death. Scorpio reminds us that we are animals, and never far from death. Women, for reasons of biology, live more closely to these cycles. Death could come at any moment, and it is not a big deal. That is the first reflection for the day. The other is the kind of knowing that these feminine depths offer. They offer the only real type of knowing, for it is direct and visceral. And, with the Moon and Venus together in Scorpio, it easily sees beyond the veil, outside of time and space, to what has been and what is to come, the deeper reasons behind situations. So today, live close to death and her companion, the ever-renewing nature of life. And live close to the inner knowing, the unseen. Take your instincts seriously. We are taught that theory backed by evidence is the only valid way of knowing. But this is not how animals or early people worked. There is a remembering in this, and you may surprise yourself.
