Let's Talk, Scorpio: Crystals for Scorpio Season

Oh, Scorpio. Your reputation precedes you, and your season is both dreaded and welcomed.

If Libra season was all about shifting the focus from ourselves to nurture our relationships with others, Scorpio season is all about examining those relationships with others. And choosing to either deepen those connections or end the ones that are no longer serving us.

How do we do that? We communicate!

And we do so by tapping into Scorpio's energy of assertion and resourcefulness.

Passionate, driven, and frequently wrought up with emotion, this water sign is often mistaken for a fire sign. And maybe that’s why every Scorpio I’ve ever known claims that they’re misunderstood.

What often translates as cold and intimidating is Scorpio's herculean effort to tamp down the emotions that they seem to feel more intensely than the average bear. Their dogged determination to get deep into your personal business is a side effect of their heightened empathy and intuition that is rarely ever wrong. Their seemingly secretive nature is really an attempt to keep themselves and the ones they love safe. All of these traits can quickly tip Scorpios into defense mode, which is why it’s important to tamp down Scorpio's reactive nature. This season will be profoundly transformative if we let it!
