In Libra archetype, our instinct to interact with a diversity and different types of people.
Scorpio is our instinct to merge and become one with what we desire.
We connect more intimately with those people with whom we feel more drawn towards and the relationships that empower us.
Examples are marriage and close friendships. We form deeper bonds and intimacy to share ourselves physically and emotionally with another.
In the process, we are transformed by absorbing and becoming one with that which symbolize power.
This can be a person, relationships, death, sex, rituals, taboos, money, status, a system of knowledge (astrology, religion, philosophy), yoga, meditations whichever that symbolize power to you.
Scorpio/ Pluto/ 8th House correlates to the Soul.
Scorpio themes
- Soul's natural impulse is to evolve and transform.
- The process of evolution is liken to the process of metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly.
- A process of death and rebirth: elimination of the old self identity (Caterpillar), we come face to face with ourselves and confront our own fears and limitations (in the cocoon) and experience rebirth, emerge a new form (butterfly).
Merging
Scorpio is the archetype of merging and becoming more of who we can be.
Merging, committing and becoming one with that which you desire. It can be the song you always wanted to sing, and the career you desire.
For example, you sign up for a singing class in order to fulfill your dream to sing on stage; obtaining a certificate in Counselling Psychology to prepare yourself for the next career.
By acquiring the skill sets you need, you become self empowered from within.
Confrontation:
- You come face to face with yourself about who you are, who you are not, and who you cannot be.
- You become aware of your personal limitations and what you need to overcome in order to evolve. Example: by absorbing and merging with others' skill sets and resources, you become more empowered.
- You dive deeper into psyche to examine: what are your deepest unconscious sense of security? Hence it symbolizes obsessions, compulsions and resistances to change and growth.
Example: Unconscious attachment to a self image and status which gives you approval and security, hence resisting change.
Transformation:
- At one point, you experience a full completion of a cycle, endings of past attachments and self identities. This can be experienced as powerlessness, loss, betrayal or abandonment. The feeling of the ''emotional rug of security'' being pulled away from underneath your feet. You are being thrown back into yourself to find the inner symbols of power and transformation. From within.
The intention of these experiences is to eliminate any external dependencies for source of power.
As you turn inwards to connect with your inner strength and inner resources, you are transformed. This enables you to internalize emotional security from within.
In this way, you can merge with others in a self reliant manner, which adds to what you are.
---------------------------------
We all have Scorpio archetype within us - our instinct to evolve and transform.
The 8th house, Scorpio sign and Pluto in your birth chart show: what how you are transforming, what are the unconscious security patterns that you are eliminating in your life, so you are becoming self empowered from within.
