KosmicK & Kory Varlen: SCORPIO

WHETHER YOU ARE a Celestial Scorpion by birth, have your Moon, Ascendant or ruling planet in this sign or have a ‘loaded’ Eighth House in your chart, Scorpio is the sign associated with the deepest passage of autumn’s transition while our southern hemisphere scores a victory over winter’s darkness. For all of us, somewhere, somehow, Scorpio takes us through to a world of mysteries: Birth and death, financial woes and wonders – this is the kingdom we journey through from October 23 until November 22. Open yourself to experience the Scorpio force of transformation and intensity. Somewhere in your daily life you will feel this force because everybody has “Scorpio” somewhere in their astrological chart. When the Sun – our solar star, lights up this sector, you too light up and can partake in the heavenly dance of seduction. Even if you are not a Scorpio by birth date, take a test drive on some of the qualities and suggestions below if you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a Cosmic Scorpio.

23 October

This is the year to get totally absobed in a subject or health matter for a Scorpio without a passion is a lost soul. A powerful karmic pull is underneath most of the year's endeavours so go smooth and let the tide take you where it will. Your knowledge base grows by the day whether in or out of halls of learning.

24 October

Regeneration is the key that unlocks the door to your desire for leadership, purpose and attainment of that which has been alluding you for this past decade. A new slate awaits and one which you are perfectly positioned to write on. Everything is coming up ones – firsts, new beginnings and it all starts with your desire to cut yourself some slack and begin anew.

25 October

It’s a year to break out of patterns, to claim your biological birth right and to dump the guilt trips that society, your family and any other agents of control have laid on you. The key concept is guilt and how you’ve managed to handle the load and how you’re now ready to free yourself from it. It’s a perfect year to learn what really feeds your soul and energizes you.

26 October

You’re easily thrown off your center in the coming year. Practice allowing 2 different yet complimentary forces within you to live out their truth. On the one hand you need to feel committed to someone or something and on the other hand you need to feel free and independent. Instability in love could easily result as will separations if you don’t find the right balance.

27 October

You’ve got power, drive, ambition and the discontent to drive you forward in the coming months. You’re on tap for novelty, independent self-expression and a huge work load for 2010. With that in mind, put the emphasis on self-care as your inner life is exploding with reasons to reconnect to deep family wounds, beliefs and pain. It’s all up for healing.

28 October

You’re at one of those critical tipping points/places in life where you need to take yourself in hand and know that you’ve got exactly what you need to balance the scales. 2010 will give you that added boost, that 'je ne sais quoi' something extra that will indeed tip the fortunes in your favor.

29 October

There seems to be so much to discover and the push is definitely on. There won’t be much grass growing under your feet in the months to come. For the entire year ahead allow your creative self full expression and let your inner muse lead the way. It matters not what you study but that your heart be fully engaged in the dream of creation.

30 October

What has been hidden away from you will now be revealed. Family secrets, curiosities, curses and cures are ready to start pouring out of the closet and it’s so appropriate considering you’re one day short of Halloween. In the coming months revel in the power of shouting “boo” into the darkness. Prepare yourself for a response.

31 October

It’s a year of worrying less about what others think about you and focusing more on what you need to get your life blooming again. 2010 is a big ‘harvest’ year in that you’ll be reaping the fruits of your labour. What you’ll be receiving will be a good indication of where you need to make some major adjustments and even bigger turns in the road ahead.

1 November

Take the cosmos by the tail and spin your life into creation. 2009 finishes with a whirlwind of activity and by 2010 you’ll be fabulously positioned to rearrange your life and circumstances so that the beauty of who you are shines through every pore and detail of your personal landscape. Nurture yourself.

2 November

Mystical experiences, journeys both inward and outward, and huge successes through your empathic connection with others. The down side to all this compassion and caring however is that you may be blindsided by your own goodness and through your great strength of high sensitivity, lay yourself open to tragic deception or illusion, especially in matters of love.

3 November

The year ahead is so very rich in possibility that I’m not sure where to begin. Start with valuing your personal relationships and that should naturally flow into taking it either to the next step or realizing you’re ready for a different challenge. The key concept is harvest and you’re ripe for returns if you planted well. 2009 ends on a mystical note and 2010 opens softly.

4 November

Fundamental shifts in the bedrock of your life are the big themes emerging for 2010. Your love of knowledge will be showcased and anything and everything to do with either learning, travel and broadening of your horizons is what the cosmic weather channel has in store for you. Brothers and sisters and flexibility are key. A great year to begin a yoga practice.

5 November

2009 ends with love and creative strengths rekindled. 2010 is coming in like a lioness. If you want a fresh start and lots of oxygen, this is the year you’ve been waiting for. It’s movement, ideas, trips and travel galore if you have the physical mobility to follow the trade winds. For those of you more traditional and rooted, the push is on to expand your knowledge.

6 November

Until the end of 2009 you’ll be in a great place in your life to do something absolutely wonderful for your family and it doesn’t stop there. All of 2010 has the ring of sentimentality, empathic response and a heightened intuitive approach that borders on the miraculous. It’s time to push the envelope and make your presence in the world felt and it starts with family.

7 November

The world of feeling is opening up for you to explore in all its churning depth and variety of expression. And as this wave of experience flows over and around you, there is a new piece of learning that asks that you expand your vision of what’s possible and to go beyond your parental expectations in the areas of higher education, belief systems or living abroad.

8 November

You’re on a creative roll. Take what you’ve learned from 2009 and then build a new foundation where you can showcase your unique talents and personality. It’s a new ball game so don’t even consider bringing into the sport of 2010 previous years’ ground rules. You’re on a steep learning curve and self-expression and putting yourself out there is what it’s all about.

9 November

I wish I could be there when you meet your inner warrior/goddess for the first time for she is one formidable creation. You’ve been preparing for this year for over a decade and possibly two so the meeting should be one of deep joy and phenomenal gratitude. Inner reflection and reverence for solitude will encourage her revelation that much sooner.

10 November

If you get the chance to move and its either bigger, better or more upscale, the cosmos gives you its blessings. Be the detective in your life to research goals and dreams. Then nestle down into your sweet abode and let it nurture you. If you do this you'll be tapping into resources you might never have considered before.

11 November

There is so much possibility and potential to be discovered in the weeks and months ahead as you systematically breath in a new rhythm of strategic repositioning. It’s time to balance innovation with procedures so that you can work in an environment that promotes a healthy appreciation for risk taking, self expression and playing within the bureaucracy.

12 November

It’s down to brass tacks and serious negotiations in the coming year. There might not be that much room to maneuver so you’re going to have to play up your achievements and downplay the limitation side of any deals you enter. The key to success lies in the ability to analyze and find how all the tiny pieces come together in the puzzle that makes up your current landscape.

13 November

Regeneration flows through every cell of your being in the solar year ahead. Knowing this it would be useful to take a position that there was nothing to lose and everything to gain from this creative power that is now available. And if things do leave your life it is for cleansing and clearing so that your true aims and objectives can be realized.

14 November

I hope you believe in soul mates or at the very least soulful experiences that turn your life inside out. The big life lesson coming up for you is having faith in your ability to experience love and to that end nothing else will matter. From the ashes of despair, denial and pain will come another chance to love. Give yourself permission to begin anew. Transformation is at hand.

15 November

I predict your world will tremble with the force field that you command in the coming weeks and months, such is your power to pull to you the combined energies of destruction and stability. With these two giants at your beck and call, imagine what you could do. It’s time to step out and beat a path to the door of initiation and rebirth.

16 November

Think resources, think gifts, think treasure from the depths of your being. If you can get your mind around even one of these ideas, that may be all that you’ll need to totally change your life in the coming months. You’re starting to think like an entrepreneur and who knows where that will take you. Plan to expand your horizons and include a major trip in your agenda.

17 November

Make sure you’ve got pen and paper on your nightstand because inspiration is looking to find you. Seriously, the cosmic updates are financial in nature for most of the year ahead and from what I can tell, a eureka moment is ready to strike and you want to be prepared. All it takes is one pivotal idea, one moment of clarity and your life could be made from the stuff of dreams.

18 November

Let the entrepreneur out of the bottle as 2010 is all about mercantile interests, having fun with customers and getting your brand known. It’s a great year for vision quests, travel both near and far and any activity that gets you out of a rut. Here’s a tasty concoction for you. Put equal amounts of power, ego, curiosity and compassion into a shaker and stir.

19 November

The gods are on your side in the weeks and months ahead as you seem to be able to do no wrong. Which means what are you waiting for? Green light the big dream and push the barriers aside as their time is up. Love and passion mix mightily in the seasons ahead so get on board here. Relationships come into balance and with some work so will you.

20 November

There is a great strength of purpose about you along with a new interest in social justice and how all that ties into the bigger question of why you are here. Push off from these ethical concerns to launch a new way of viewing the world and your place in it. 2010 is absolutely one of the deep years filled with questing and searching so give yourself permission not to know.

21 November

Self–discipline, solitude, seclusion, asceticism. Each one full of possibilities to enrich your life. If you have been on a new trajectory or life plan, it should now start to take shape. Resist the urge to undertake new concepts or lifestyles as those will lead to dead ends. Lack of trust is now on the table and ready for healing.

22 November

If you have ever contemplated breaking into showbiz then this is the year that could launch a new career. Artistic ability shines through everything you do and fortune favours the outsider and the long shot in the coming months. Problems of love seem eternal but you’ll definitely have more fun solving them if you take a more universal approach.

IF LEARNING A tidbit or two about what’s in store for you in the coming months tweaks your interest, why not indulge yourself and go for a deeper look into the fuller picture of what’s coming. Finding your path and establishing new rhythms and balance are my primary focus when I interpret your chart. I promise you that if you begin to take action based on following the guidance of your internal compass with the celestial one, a wonderful new you will emerge.
