Scorpio Season's Final Week: Mastering Material-Spiritual Duality
The stars this week, in the final week of Scorpio season, shine a light on the duality of reality within each and every one of us. The pull between the material and the spiritual is a built-in and preinstalled program from the moment we are conceived by our parents. The purpose of this program is to help us overcome the pull between the two and figure out why and how we need to bring the spiritual into the material - as they are not exclusive unless we perceive it so.
This dualistic program, or nature within us, is an ongoing contest between the body (material) and the spirit within every society and individual. The material body is addicted to Amazon Prime, Netflix, free stuff, and the instant satisfaction of unoriginal cravings, all in the name of survival. However, this comes at a price: eventually becoming confused, overwhelmed, and consumed with tasks that detract from spiritual comprehension and integration.
It is natural to first develop the material aspect of existence through physical sensations, especially since the body only works out of the box by default settings (e.g., evolving the physical needs of an infant and until ripe adulthood). After one grows us, if not parallel to that process, the goal is to develop a spiritual lifestyle, to gain control over the material, including desire - not by suppression or ignoring them, but by controlling whether they should manifest or not. This could be controlling to manifest health, love, or finances, or not. This way, we can even enjoy Amazon Prime, watch Netflix and receive gifts without placing too much value on them so that we can truly appreciate them as manifestations of light.
As we unknowginly process through the astrological transits this week, we are reminded of the importance of integrating our material desires with our spiritual reality, creating a harmonious existence that enriches our lives. The week starts powerfully with the New Moon in Scorpio, a sign known for its depth and transformative power. This is a prime time for introspection and acknowledging the deeper desires that drive our material pursuits. Read more about the New Moon in Scoprio Forecast to understand why the Moon's conjunction with the Sun further illuminates the need to align our emotional instincts with our core self. Sunday and Monday calls for a deep dive into our subconscious, understanding how our material desires can align with our spiritual growth and that we can change anything we need to, at any time.
On Tuesday, as the Moon enters Sagittarius, our focus shifts towards higher learning and understanding. The sextile with Pluto offers an opportunity to confront and transform our material obsessions into spiritual tasks which can lead to greater awareness and perception of higher realities or solutions. This day is ideal for exploring how our material goals can serve our higher purpose and spiritual growth - or even figuring out what that is.
The quintile between the Moon and Venus on Wednesday brings a creative spark to our emotional world, especially in the realm of desires and relationships. It’s time to create and find creative solutions to ANYTHING! This aspect encourages us to find inventive ways to integrate our material needs with our spiritual values. It's a day to appreciate the beauty in both the material and spiritual aspects of life.
Then on Thursday, the harmonious aspect between the Moon and Saturn provides a grounding energy, helping us to bring structure to our spiritual practices. It's a day to create a balance between our material responsibilities and spiritual pursuits, ensuring that one supports the other. It’s time for practicality, what’s the goal and what’s the intended result you’re looking for?
Finally, on Friday, the trine between the Moon and Uranus brings unexpected insights into how we can innovate our spiritual practices. Our emotional responses and intuitive insights are likely to be highly influenced by the innovative and unpredictable energies of Uranus. Meanwhile, the square with Venus challenges us to address any imbalances between our material desires and spiritual laws we abide by. This day is about embracing change and finding harmony in our internal conflicts.
The week ends with a septile between the Moon and Neptune which invites us to explore the mystical and metaphysical aspects of our existence. It's a day for spiritual reflection and understanding how our material life can be a vessel for spiritual energy.
When we prioritize immediate material satisfaction over long-term spiritual merit (which requires activation through actions), it’s like unplugging a lamp, thinking the light comes from the lamp itself rather than the electricity flowing through it. The truth is that we need both to reveal light: the lamp and the electricity. Energy needs a vessel, but the vessel is not the source. When we forget that, we forfeit the brightest glow possible.
In other words, when we give priority to immediate material pleasure over long-term spiritual merit we will end up blownout, empty, hollow, and unfulfilled. This week, we can subdue the material domination, not by suppressing our material necessities or rationalizing them with “the high road”, but by knowing they are essential for the spiritual path. Why? How? Well, the work here lies in getting the materialistic side within us to understand the benefits of the spiritual path, which will lead to a genuine spiritual lifestyle.
While we are faced with a daily internal war where we must decide whether the material or the spiritual takes the lead, we shouldn’t forget these are the terms and conditions of living in this world and this battle serves as a change to master the material. The only way to succeed is to integrate the two, to bring the spiritual into the material and thereby create a world of light and allow the material world to support and enhance spiritual growth. Only then, we will understand that they are one in the same.
The following week opens on Sunday with Mercury in a semisquare with Pluto, urging us to communicate and think deeply about the transformations we are undergoing.
