Mars in Scorpio

As Mars enters Scorpio this week, there is a hidden opportunity for a breakthrough…

Mars is an impulse of energy. Mars in Scorpio is like a sleeping volcano awakening. Somewhere in our lives passion and desire are emerging. What are you passionate about? Are there new passions or desires you want to explore? This period would be a great time to explore new passions and new ventures.

Mars in Scorpio inspires us to take action from the deep wells of emotion and intuition within the human spirit. It’s water that boils from deep underneath the surface of the Earth. Something has been boiling deep within you. Perhaps it’s a hunger for more out of life. Perhaps it is a secret desire you tell no one about. Perhaps it’s a long, forgotten dream that keeps crawling back into your bed every night. Mars in Scorpio pushes us not to ignore our deep longings, dreams and desires. Our hearts are speaking loud and clear right now. The heart will not be ignored. It’s knocking at your door until you open.

One of my favorite poems is entitled, “Blue Bird” by Charles Bukowski. I invite you to google it. In the poem the author states, “There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you.” What part of you are you keeping hidden and why?

Perhaps it’s time to open the door you keep closed. The poem speaks of the real self within. The soft, tender vulnerable human spirit that most people hide underneath the surface. We are taught to wear masks. To hide the real self underneath a self that makes our parents, families and society happy. But at some point, in our lives, the masks fall off and what remains is the Blue Bird facing and staring at us in the mirror. Your authentic self is calling you home right now. Your heart will not be quiet down forever. It needs to speak and be heard, and like a bird it needs to fly and be free. Be vulnerable. Free yourself. Be yourself.

As Mars travels through the sign of Scorpio, we have an opportunity to let our Blue Bird out. As we listen to the authentic voice of our heart, we can see truths about ourselves and our lives that can no longer be denied. We are aware of what we really need and want, and in that awareness have the courage to pursuit our authentic life. May your Blue Bird fly free at last!
