Venus in Scorpio: The Cycle of Life

These are called Yooperlite rocks. They are found in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, near Lake Superior. Under a UV light they glow orange. You would never know that without investigation and digging, which is very Scorpio, but they sure are pretty, which is very Venus.

Last weekend I went on a vacation to the Upper Peninsula. I hadn’t even thought of Venus being in Scorpio at the time, but that’s exactly what my trip represents. I remember the moment I realized it. I just stood there with a smile. I know Venus in Scorpio is not always love and rainbows, but neither is life. That’s the story I’m about to write.

The trip involved us rock hunting at night. We were out there trying to find something beautiful (Venus), with UV lights and digging (Scorpio). There were spots we found during the day where there was as much death as there was life. It’s the season to let the dead things go, and sometimes we have to face them before we fling them away.

There was one part of the beach where it was absolutely stunning. It brought me so much joy and pleasure. As we continued to investigate and dig we noticed carcasses of baby lobsters. We also noted the changing trees behind us, and the way some of the limbs have fallen away from their trees. Then, I somehow found that all beautiful, too.

Even though the sky is dark the scene is lovely. Very Venus in Scorpio. What lurks beneath that water?
