In seasonal symbolism, the sign of Scorpio (October 23 to November 22) represents a time of profound change. Nature’s vital expression is slowing down, with minimal vegetative activity, and falling leaves are the only movement, signalling the approaching organic death that hangs over nature. However, within this process, something new arises: the decomposing matter creates humus, which will nourish new life in the next cycle.
In analogy with the natural cycle, Scorpios embody the profound truth that everything born must die, and nothing is lasting. Their existence is marked by the interplay of death and its opposite, eros, the creative force that gives rise to new life from the remnants of the previous cycle. Psychologically, they navigate between the dynamics of destructiveness, which involves deep and complex emotional engagement in existential situations, and rebirth, the expression of erotic energy and sexual drive at various levels.
