♏Scorpio Season Check-In🦂

| Scorpio Season Check-In, from Top to bottom, left, right: Eight of Swords, Ace of Swords, Nine of Wands |
The energy is definitely heavy right now. We might lack motivation to do anything that needs to get done (as reflected in the Eight of Swords, which says, "Stop overthinking it and just do it"). We may wonder why do we need to show up for work anyway when our government can't even function? Or what is the purpose of getting something done when we are tired, fed up, and over-exhausted? We may also be feeling trapped and feeling like pawns in a custody case.

In the middle of Scorpio season, we have the Ace of Swords, which says "look at you—you're bursting with sparkly new ideas!". This can also indicate a breakthrough in our mindset or receiving clarity. We could possibly see things trying to resolve themselves, or someone comes up with an idea to get the two sides to negotiate. Or maybe, you come up with a creative idea to get your inner sparkle back.
The Ace of Swords says "Look at you - you're bursting with sparkly new ideas!"
Towards the end of Scorpio season, we have the Nine of Wands. The Nine of Wands says, "It would take a hell of a lot more to defeat you." We reclaim our strength as a collective. Yes, we are still burnt out and weary, but we find the strength and perseverance to keep going. We set boundaries with ourselves and with each other. We're getting our fire back, and we are prepared to fight back for what is ours. Americans are resilient people. We will bounce back from this whether it resolves during Scorpio season or we see it happening in two years from now. We won't take people's crap, and we will fight, even if we are exhausted and beat up!
The Nine of Wands reminds us that it would take a hell of a lot more to defeat us.
If you are not an American, this may be how you are feeling right now or at the beginning of Scorpio season. You may not feel like doing much and it is hard for you to concentrate and focus. You may also be feeling trapped by inner demons. You lack motivation, but are currently struggling with work or creative projects, or even in your relationships. It may feel pointless to even get "unstuck". But let me tell you, it's not pointless to get unstuck.
The Ace of Swords in the middle of the month can indicate a new idea comes through and sparking your imagination or creativity. This is in the middle of Scorpio season. So perhaps things feel lighter. You quit feeling sorry for yourself or get unstuck. You let this new idea or spark of clarity lead you in your battle for your mental health.
The Nine of Wands shows you weary but not out. This is your cheerleader saying, "You've been through worse. Keep going!". Also, you may need to get something in your hand or arm checked out as she has bandages all over her hand and arm from burning herself. You may be prone to accidents if you are not careful. Funny backstory: This exact card came up for me one day during a daily pull and it had urged me to get the numbness in my pinky checked out. I made an appointment with my doctor and got it checked out. Turns out I have carpal tunnel. So this card is not just burnout and weariness; this card in the Cozy Witch Tarot deck can be about being careful and getting checked out if you are having physical health problems, especially in your limbs.
I do see us eventually breaking out of this funk. Just right now, we have to be gentle with ourselves. Convince ourselves that what we do matters. And that we matter. We cannot let us feeling trapped or stuck keep us down for long. The Nine of Wands also tells us to rest and not quit. So rest, if you must; that dust can wait. Or however that one poem goes (if you know, you know).
As for my Americans (such as myself), I'm not sure if I see a resolution to the government shutdown. It is very possible that there could be a resolution or the start of negotiations come mid-to-end of Scorpio season. We just have to speak up—on both sides. We cannot let our babies go without food, our servicepeople go without pay to support themselves and their families, our government employees go without while Congress and Senate still get paid for not doing anything! This needs to end now!
Hang tough, my peeps! It always gets worse before it gets any better. Sending my love and positive vibes to you all.
