A profound and transformative transition delineates the passage from Scorpio's depths into Sagittarius's embrace of Temperance. This episode delves into the initial days of Sagittarius season, wherein we witness an energetic shift characterized by the 8 of Wands, symbolizing swift movement and dynamic energy. The transition is anything but subtle; it is a potent moment where we emerge from the emotional undercurrents of Scorpio, shedding the remnants of what has been lost, and stepping into a phase marked by clarity of purpose and intentional action. The discussion elucidates how this period necessitates a deep introspection, as we are called to examine what remains after the transformative journey of death and rebirth. We explore the dynamic interplay between the rapid acceleration of the 8 of Wands and the retrograde of Mercury, which compels us to revisit and review past experiences, emphasizing that our internal landscape must first align before we can effectively engage with the external world. The episode further accentuates the importance of the Temperance card, which embodies the concept of transforming chaos into harmony through deliberate action and intention. Unlike the passive balance often misconstrued in common interpretations, Temperance demands an active engagement in harmonization, challenging us to temper our desires and impulses in the face of external stimuli. As we navigate the first ten days of Sagittarius season, we are invited to reflect upon critical inquiries regarding our internal states, challenging the notion that our happiness is contingent upon external circumstances. The overarching theme of this discussion emphasizes that true balance and harmony originate from within, encouraging listeners to cultivate their internal tranquility as a precursor to external alignment. As the celestial bodies continue their dance, we delve into the Moon's journey through various archetypes, each phase presenting opportunities for personal growth and healing. From the optimism of Sagittarius to the introspective depths of Pisces, we are reminded of the cyclical nature of growth, where each moon phase tests our capacity for balance and healing. The interaction of these astrological influences serves to deepen our understanding of how we can consciously direct our energies, forging a path that harmonizes our aspirations with the realities we encounter. This discourse serves as a clarion call to embrace the transformative energies of Sagittarius season with both courage and clarity, as we embark on a journey of self-discovery and intentional creation.

From death to temperance.
Speaker A:The first 10 days of Sagittarius season, the great transition walking out of the underworld.
Speaker A:Sagittarius season always begins with the shift, but not a gentle one.
Speaker A:It's the moment we walk out of Scorpio's underworld, brushing off the ashes of what died, and step into the fire of purpose, vision and forward movement.
Speaker A:This year, the transition is especially potent.
Speaker A:We move from the tarot death card straight into temperance.
Speaker A:Death is transformation through inevitability.
Speaker A:Temperance is transformation through intention.
Speaker A:Death strips away, temperance rebuilds.
Speaker A:Death is surrender.
Speaker A:Temperance is the adjustment.
Speaker A:Death is not ending its transformation.
Speaker A:The the card represents the necessary disillusion that must occur before rebirth can take place.
Speaker A:Death is about releasing what no longer serves.
Speaker A:Old patterns, outdated beliefs, relationships that have run their course, identities we've outgrown.
Speaker A:The death card is associated with Scorpio, a water sign ruling feelings and emotions.
Speaker A:This is the realm of deep emotional excavation, the subconscious, the shadow work that proceeds all genuine transformation.
Speaker A:There is suffering in the process, the painful recognition that something must die for something new to be born.
Speaker A:This is the emotional residue of resistance to change.
Speaker A:After 30 days in Scorpio's depths, we emerge raw and vulnerable, but ready.
Speaker A:The death card brings us to conclusion, an announcement that a chapter has closed.
Speaker A:We stand at the threshold, having shed our old skin.
Speaker A:Now Scorpio season asks, what will you do with what remains after spending 30 days in the depths of death?
Speaker A:Much healing needs to take place.
Speaker A:Temperance is the healing card, the place where imbalance is acknowledged.
Speaker A:The new recipe for your life is slowly measured out.
Speaker A:Temperance is not passive balance.
Speaker A:It's active harmonization.
Speaker A:Picture an angel mixing waters between two cups.
Speaker A:This is the act of tempering, of finding the perfect tune, of blending elements that don't easily mix.
Speaker A:Qualities of Temperance is balanced, finding the middle path between excess and deficiency.
Speaker A:Forbearance, patience and restraint in the face of extremes.
Speaker A:Harmonizing, bringing desperate elements into alignment, healing, restoring what was disrupted or damaged.
Speaker A:But temperance holds a paradox.
Speaker A:While it primarily speaks to balance, it can also indicate a healthy overflow of energy.
Speaker A:When true equilibrium is achieved is about finding the right measure, not suppression.
Speaker A:Sagittarius, the archer who aims for higher truth and meaning represented by Temperance.
Speaker A:Jupiter, the planet of expansion, luck and the wheel of Fortune rule Sagittarius.
Speaker A:This connection reveals something crucial.
Speaker A:Temperance isn't just about our own willpower to create balance.
Speaker A:It's about recognizing that forces outside of yourself are coming in to right a wrong, restore what was lost, cool what was hot, or heat what was too cool.
Speaker A:The Universe itself is working to temper our lives toward balance.
Speaker A:Sagittarius season is the sun learning patience, timing and proportion.
Speaker A:It's the fire sign that doesn't burn impulsively.
Speaker A:It is the fire with purpose.
Speaker A:To temper is to cool what is overheated warm what became too cold?
Speaker A:Mix elements to create something stronger.
Speaker A:Moderate extremes toward the golden mean.
Speaker A:This season asks, can you bring your internal world into harmony with external forces?
Speaker A:One of the biggest illusions during Sagittarius season is thinking the issue is out there.
Speaker A:When we feel misaligned, we often ask, why is this happening?
Speaker A:But the real question is, why is this happening inside me?
Speaker A:Is it the job of the external to adjust to our internal world?
Speaker A:Or is it our job to adjust our internal world to the external?
Speaker A:Temperance teaches that harmony begins internally.
Speaker A:If the external world refuses to match your internal world, which one adjusts?
Speaker A:Temperance says your inner landscape must shift first.
Speaker A:Sagittarius exposes where we blame others for what we refuse to temper in ourselves.
Speaker A:They weren't making me happy, but was it ever their job?
Speaker A:They didn't adjust, but did you consider someone speaking of a failed relationship?
Speaker A:How much energy do they spend blaming the other party while failing to voice where they themselves failed?
Speaker A:To shift the belief that someone outside of you can make you happy is a responsibility you're trying to outsource.
Speaker A:Happiness is an inside job.
Speaker A:The two cups in Temperance card represent higher and lower levels of consciousness.
Speaker A:One cup is elevated, the other lowered.
Speaker A:The angel pours water between them, mixing and balancing these different states of being, blending spiritual aspirations with earthly desires.
Speaker A:This season is bringing critical questions to the forefront.
Speaker A:Do you have a connection to your higher self?
Speaker A:Can you hear your higher guidance?
Speaker A:Can you temper your desires?
Speaker A:Do you tend toward excess?
Speaker A:Can you not just eat one cookie and walk away?
Speaker A:Can you moderate fire without extinguishing it?
Speaker A:We are moving from water.
Speaker A:Scorpio, Death to fire.
Speaker A:Sagittarius, Temperance.
Speaker A:Water is emotions, feelings, subconscious and introspection.
Speaker A:Fire is action, creativity, growth, manifestation.
Speaker A:This is the shift from feeling to doing, from the emotional realm into the realm of building and manifesting on the physical plane.
Speaker A:Fire governs personal development and growth, work and career, creative expression, health and wellness, physical direction and momentum, adventure and purpose.
Speaker A:The focus now turns to what you will create with clarity you gained in the depths.
Speaker A:The opening 10 days of Sagittarius season.
Speaker A:0 degrees to 10 degrees belong to the 8 of Wands, a card of swift movement and dynamic energy.
Speaker A:If you see the card, it looks like eight arrows flying through the air.
Speaker A:This is where movement begins.
Speaker A:Sometimes too quickly.
Speaker A:The energy of this card is acceleration, momentum.
Speaker A:Messages in news.
Speaker A:Fast progress.
Speaker A:Creative ignition.
Speaker A:Aim and direction.
Speaker A:Vigor and velocity.
Speaker A:Upright.
Speaker A:This card is about swift progress.

Speaker A:New ideas come.
Speaker A:Fast, powerful and full of potential breakthroughs, insights.
Speaker A:Land.
Speaker A:Clarity arrives.
Speaker A:The pace picks up.
Speaker A:Action over passivity.
Speaker A:This is the time to take decisive action.
Speaker A:Rather than step.
Speaker A:Staying passive or waiting.
Speaker A:The arrows are flying true.
Speaker A:All moving in the same direction with purpose and speed.
Speaker A:The reverse of this energy points to obstacles and rashness.
Speaker A:The shadow side of this energy is inaction.
Speaker A:Blocks that prevent progress.
Speaker A:Staying stuck when movement is needed.
Speaker A:Procrastination when action is called for.
Speaker A:Rushing unprepared.
Speaker A:Moving into endeavors before fully being prepared.
Speaker A:Making rash decisions without considering all scenarios.
Speaker A:Scattered energy, going out.
Speaker A:Shooting everywhere.
Speaker A:Hitting everything except the target you intended.
Speaker A:Lack of focus amidst the speed.
Speaker A:Quarrels and conflicts.
Speaker A:Arguments arising from impulsive decisions.
Speaker A:Altercations from hasty words.
Speaker A:Unwanted news messages or information you didn't want to receive.
Speaker A:Jealousy.
Speaker A:Either your own surfacing or others.
Speaker A:Jealousy directed at you.
Speaker A:The question of the eight of wands.
Speaker A:Are you shooting with intention or just shooting everywhere?
Speaker A:The planetary ruler of the first Deacon of Sagittarius is Mercury.
Speaker A:Late to the Magician card.
Speaker A:But Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio during these first days.
Speaker A:So the Magician, the manifestor, the communicator, the catalyst is digging backward, not forward.
Speaker A:This creates a dynamic tension.
Speaker A:Forward movement, 8 of wands backward review.
Speaker A:Mercury Retrograde, huh?
Speaker A:Well, what the hell does that mean?
Speaker A:It can mean news from the past resurfacing, old ideas or conversations coming back around.
Speaker A:Projects needing revision before launch.
Speaker A:Messages delayed or misunderstood.
Speaker A:Communication requiring extra clarity.
Speaker A:Manifestation requiring deeper inner work first.
Speaker A:The Magician is retrograde in Scorpio.
Speaker A:Revisiting emotional depths.
Speaker A:Reconsidering what was buried.
Speaker A:Reviewing shadow material.
Speaker A:You got a candle.
Speaker A:The wisdom.
Speaker A:You can't rush clarity.
Speaker A:You can't outrun what needs revisiting.
Speaker A:The Sun.
Speaker A:Your core self is learning temperance for the next 30 days.
Speaker A:But for the first 10 days require moving carefully through Mercury's retrograde filters.
Speaker A:You also got to realize that the moon doesn't stay still this whole time.
Speaker A:The moon moves through multiple archetypes during the first 10 days, layering emotional tones onto the fire of Sagittarius.
Speaker A:Each lunar movement is a classroom testing your capacity for temperance in different ways.
Speaker A:Day one.
Speaker A:The moon is in Sagittarius.
Speaker A:Temperance after Scorpio's descent into death and transformation, the sun rises into Sagittarius, carrying the temperance card.
Speaker A:This is the alchemical moment of cooling what was too hot, heating what was too cold and finding the golden mean.
Speaker A:You feel the shift.
Speaker A:Lighter, clearer, more forward focus, double temperance energy.
Speaker A:Sun and moon, both in Sagittarius creates optimism, philosophical expansion.
Speaker A:But the adjustment is still fresh.
Speaker A:Temperance is not passive balance, it's active harmonization.
Speaker A:Can you hold paradox without collapsing into the extreme?
Speaker A:Begin with breath work or simple offering to mark the shift.
Speaker A:Light a candle.
Speaker A:Set your intention for balancing and healing.
Speaker A:Ask yourself, where am I?
Speaker A:Still clinging to Scorpio's grief and how can I temper it into wisdom?
Speaker A:What do I need to temper in my life?
Speaker A:Temperance as the healing card after death.
Speaker A:Healing here is not instant, it's slow restoration of rhythm.
Speaker A:Days two, four.
Speaker A:The moon in Capricorn.
Speaker A:The Devil.
Speaker A:The moon moves into Capricorn, activating the devil archetype.
Speaker A:Here comes the test.
Speaker A:This is the confrontation with attachments, contracts, structures, old patterns, old fears and the places where we give our sovereignty away.
Speaker A:The focus shifts to material concerns, obligations, control and what binds you.
Speaker A:Old habits resurface.
Speaker A:The Devil exposes anything that would sabotage your new beginning.
Speaker A:The devil is not evil.
Speaker A:It's the mirror of bondage.
Speaker A:It shows us where we've externalized responsibility for our happiness, where we're attached to outcomes, where we've signed away our power.
Speaker A:The Devil plus temperance equals tension between excess and moderation.
Speaker A:This tests whether your commitment to balance is real or performative.
Speaker A:Capricorn asks, where are you bound by habit or fear?
Speaker A:Can you temper the urge to control or overindulge in material security Journal or speak out loud?
Speaker A:Where do I blame others for my suffering?
Speaker A:Where do I refuse to temper my own desires?
Speaker A:What attachments am I ready to release?
