Things begin to shift this week. Though not easy, this is a psychologically fertile time. Psychological assimilation of everything we have been through this year has left us feeling a little exhausted, but this week we begin to test, and rely on, our new strength. We have been challenged this year, we have grown, and we have endured. Growing pains have been our constant companion. The adjustments we’ve made to difficulties we’ve encountered can carry us a long way now, if we pay attention to the lessons.
As Mercury leads us back into the deep dark of Scorpio, we find our most vulnerable places exposed, and we are now able to work with the material set before us. We may have a few surprises coming, but Venus is on duty all week, doing her best to support our inner harmony and sweeten our lives a little. The desire to find harmony within ourselves combines with motivation for permanent change. We can find silver linings now and begin to see the beauty around us once again. Connections deepen. Relationships deepen. Our sense of self deepens too, as we finally understand the connections between our past experiences and our present selves.  Despite the chaos and confusion, we can finally feel our feet beneath us, finding our centers once again.
