The 12 Days of Aries: Day 8, Scorpio (KB)

Welcome to Day 8 of the 12 Days of Aries, which begins at sundown on Friday, April 15 and ends at sundown on Saturday, April 16. Scorpio is a fixed water sign. Fixed signs have the energy of focus and direction, and water signs have the gift of feelings and sensitivity. Scorpios, in particular, are known to have deep emotions and a lot of desire. People born under this sign can be the personification of, “still waters run deep.” They deal with a lot of fears in their lifetime and tend towards suspicion and jealousy. The motto of Scorpio is, "I desire, therefore, I am." The Scorpio Inner Child Archetype holds unresolved pain, trauma, and fears from childhood. It is afraid of giving up control and can be unyielding and manipulative because of this fear. All of us have a bit of this Inner Child Archetype. Maybe we find ourselves being controlling of others or overly suspicious of their motives. Whatever the situation, the most important thing is not to judge our inner child. In this case, it is motivated by fear and judging the fear will not help to heal it. Our Scorpio Inner Child Archetype gives us the opportunity to reach inwards and strengthen our trust in the Light of the Creator and in the goodness that exists in this universe. Consciousness for the Day: Release your fears to the Light. Love yourself and others. “Let go and let God.” Find a place and time to sing out loud: music is an incredible tool we can use to bring in healing energy of the soul. Most importantly, be gentle with yourself and your inner child. You are work in progress and a child of God who loves you. Healing comes from positively acknowledging and taking responsibility for what we need to change, not from beating ourselves up.
