Understanding Scorpio
The archetype of Scorpio in our consciousness reflects a diversity of themes. As a natural law, Scorpio reflects the nature of transmutation; the process of metamorphosis; the caterpillar turning into the butterfly. Scorpio also reflect the law of impermanence, the process of death and rebirth, which connects deeply with the process of transmutation. Throughout our human psyche and physical/spiritual experience on Earth, the Scorpio energy influences how we assimilate with our karma.
Once we are born into this world, we are immediately subjected to environmental, cultural and parental influences. This process of social conditioning is what lays the foundation for our deeply-layered unconscious responses to emotional and psychosocial behaviour. It is through the process of Scorpio (transmutation) that we dig to the core of our being, confront our disempowering states, habits and impulses, and from there, transform, purify and change our lives for the better.
