If Your Birthday is Oct. 25
(The Day of Substantive Form) | Get Your Scorpio Birthday Reading
Whatever riddle you may be facing today, know this: your emotions around it hold a key, even if they provoked the question in the first place. Dwelling on what’s behind you (or ‘what might have been’) out of insecurity about the future is one way to live. Drawing on recently learned lessons, particularly those about seeing your influence over your life, is another. Your soul’s song may take some deep listening to hear clearly, but its beauty is compelling.
Written in the Planets
Mercury recently entered Scorpio, and today squares Vesta in Leo. Your mind may be drawn to dive deep into a question: whether a sense of devotion, or of sacrifice, is at the heart of your loyalty to someone or something. If a sense of sacrifice is leading the way, you can look without fear at any hidden motivations associated with that. Sometimes it’s necessary to give up something to accomplish something else. The influence of Leo describes an opportunity to infuse some playfulness, humor or leadership into the situation; that’s the neighborhood where you’ll find healthy devotion, along with its neighbor, wisdom.
