The Scorpion's Sacred Rest
Pluto whispers a radical instruction today, Scorpio: rest. Not the fitful, phone-in-hand, one-eye-on-email kind of rest, but the deep, surrendered, fathomless rest that your sign is capable of when you stop fighting the undertow and let it carry you to still waters. Your intensity is your gift, but it exacts a toll that you rarely acknowledge. Today, acknowledge it. Your adrenal system has been running in fight-or-flight mode, and it needs conscious deactivation. Practices that engage the parasympathetic nervous system — warm baths, deep breathing, gentle music, slow stretching — are your medicine. If you have been using substances or behaviors to numb your feelings rather than feel them, today invites honest assessment. Your sign's courage extends to self-confrontation, and the stars provide a supportive container for this brave work. Nutritionally, dark, mineral-rich foods resonate with your energy: beets, blackberries, dark chocolate, bone broth. These are not just nourishment — they are communion with the deep earth energies your sign channels. Rest well tonight, Scorpio. Even the phoenix must be still before it rises.
