Scorpio Season Medicine
The question I asked myself was,
“What Medicine have I been AVOIDING?”
Not that long ago someone had mentioned that a particular crystal made them nauseous. Several others chimed in on how Desert Rose did that to them, or how another stone was the one that makes their stomach turn. They couldn’t even look at an image of it. This intrigues me as I’ve had my own experiences with crystals that have caused dizziness or inability to sleep in other situations. Apparently, this is common for a Desert Rose to cause ill feelings because it is a crystal specifically for clearing out old programming.
One wise woman in the group said, crystals have medicine and sometimes, that medicine makes us feel ill. It is clearing out the old and stirring up within us energy or thoughts that need to be addressed. Like how the purification process for gold bubbles the impurities up to the surface to be skimmed off the top. She asked, have you thought about sitting with it? So the question I asked myself was, “What Medicine have I been AVOIDING?”
Back over the summer, I had cleaned a beautiful Pink Quartz crystal, not to be confused with a Rose Quartz, and I had “activated” it. This is a fancy way of saying, I put some intentions into it, but it is more magical than it sounds. Since everything is energy and our words are very powerful, it is extra powerful to put our words into objects in our lives. Our food, water, and crystals are just a few things that can be programmed, if you will, with our specific intentions. Speaking life over your food and water is very beneficial and if you’d like to know more about why, just google Dr. Emoto’s Water Experiment and then be amazed.
Pink Quartz Crystal inherited from my grandparent’s collection.
About this beauty above, I had never really thought much about it other than it was awesome. One day, I posted in a group to ask, “Is this just a quartz or something more?” It has this pinkish coloring on it and it just felt like it was more than a clear quartz. Well, the people went wild, as it was certainly more that “just” a quartz and the group admin weighed in saying… I think that is a Pink Quartz. After some research, I agreed. I also found out it is a very special crystal that holds wisdom!
So, I did what everyone does, right? I said, a little prayer of appreciation for having it in my life. I acknowledged that I believed it was brought into my life on purpose, because I don’t believe in accidents. Next, I asked it to share it’s wisdom with me. Then, I simply said, I activate you now.
That was the Craziest thing I ever did!
The energy was SO intense! I couldn’t sleep that night. My mind would not be still. I felt like I had electricity racing through my body for the next few days.
I had to remove it from my bedroom and spent several days trying to bring myself back to a more balanced energy. This has only happened one other time since then, with a different crystal. This second experience was a few weeks back. I have another yummy beauty that I decided to activate and this one made me dizzy and nauseous. It reminded me of what my friend, the wise woman, had said about how this can happen when the crystal has medicine for us. It only lasted a few days and then I was back to myself again. This time though it was during Scorpio Season.
So What’s the big deal about Scorpio Season anyway?
Scorpios are known for their intensity and their constant transformation. They die 1000 deaths and rise like the Phoenix from the ashes each time. Many people have a hard time during Scorpio Season which runs October 23rd - November 21st. I am a Scorpio with a Scorpio Stellium, meaning at least 3 additional planets were also in Scorpio at my birth. I actually am lucky enough to have four placements in the sign of death & transformation. Hold tight loves, it is practically over and you’ll be emerging as a new version of yourself soon, if you haven’t already.
The New Moon in Scorpio on November 15th was especially intense. For me, it started the Thursday before as I was about to talk about clearing out to make space for something new in my Facebook group Unleash Your Phoenix. (you can join for free here https://www.facebook.com/groups/unleashyourphoenix ). My cat, knocked over and broke an antique milk glass hen that had been grandma’s. I have been taught that when something breaks it is clearing out energy and making room for something new. It all was such appropriate timing!
The HARD TRUTH about Transformation
Transformation means you are changing into something new; birthed into an expanded version of who you are now and shedding off layers of what is no longer required. That old version of you that gets left behind because you have outgrown it’s thoughts, beliefs, and ideas doesn’t usually go quietly, and always goes by way of some form of destruction. You must clear out to create space and it usually isn’t a pretty process but is SO beautiful in the end.
Birth is messy; think of a newborn’s first seconds in this world before wiped clean. It is covered in blood and all sorts of other bodily fluids having made its transition from in the womb to in the world. There is also pain involved. It’s no different than when birthing a new version of you.
Transformation is catastrophic; think of how the caterpillar turns to a soupy mush before becoming a butterfly 🦋. We like to admire the beauty of the flittering butterfly as it flutters by, but do we really consider what that creature went through to become so magnificent? How much change ACTUALLY took place for it to go from caterpillar to mariposa! I think we admire it so much because it is hard to recognize what it once was before it got it wings. I mean really, there is almost no trace of its original self after it breaks forth from the cocoon. Transformation is catastrophic to the caterpillar and it is to the old you that you are leaving behind too.
Growth is destructive; think of how the seed breaks open before sprouting into a 🌱 seedling. It literally splits open in order for something new to be brought forth and often in dirt and manure no less. The seed is destroyed and the seedling becomes a plant that will one day bear fruit, if all goes well. When we break open, we allow growth to begin and one day, the fruit of this new growth will be harvested from this destructive moment in time.
We have to clear out the old to create space for something new. It is likely to be messy, catastrophic, and destructive for a time. This moment in time is FLUID in motion though, it is Ever-Changing. You will be new, transformed, and sprouting, blooming, or bearing fruit in the weeks that follow.
Questions to consider:
•What MEDICINE have I been AVOIDING?
• How did I Transform over Scorpio Season?
• How can I cultivate something new and shift as we wrap up this year and prepare for a new year?
