These are global Transit energies that must be carefully nuanced according to your personal birth chart; see articles on the Sun in transit for reference.
For an interpretation of the Sun in your own birth chart, see the Zodiac Signs.
The Sun is one of the attributes of the Animus in the chart, and as such, it can indicate a Projection of these masculine energies.
It also often provides information about the father, or the native’s husband, or the leader, manifesting qualities colored by the sign it occupies.
Scorpio: the evolution of individuality…
When the Sun transits Scorpio (by analogy with the Sun transiting the 8th House), it falls under the rulership of Pluto and Mars.
This is a period that combines self-assertion, magnetism, transformative power, and a latent, underlying passion.
Scorpio is the sign of secrecy, shadow, and resurrection; the Sun’s transit, as the principle of life, radiance, and individuality, can therefore be particularly powerful here.
During this time, the personality becomes deeper, more attached to emotional security and authenticity of feelings, with more excessive and extreme passionate tendencies.
The mind turns serious, seeking to see beyond appearances, to look “through the mirror”, into the depths of the human soul.
It wants to penetrate mystery, to grasp the essential nature of things without disguise or artifice. It seeks excellence, the hidden “gem” within all things.
This quest for a certain absolute can only unfold through a measure of pain and suffering. It brings to light hidden, secret, or taboo aspects, inevitably triggering psychological crises, yet at the same time greatly sharpening mental strength.
This is a darker period that demands endurance, but it can be profoundly transformative for the deeper self. In some respects, it even carries therapeutic virtues within processes of Depression.
It is a difficult phase of integration and reconfiguration of psychic energies within the individuality, driven by a powerful Plutonian engine.
In this work, the individual may feel more drawn to themes of death, esotericism, spirituality, and fate.
The Sun transiting Scorpio instills the will to go to the very end of things, the fighting spirit needed to overcome trials, and strong powers of analysis and insight.
Naturally, it also heightens aggressiveness and can bring about emotional coldness, mistrust, jealousy, and possessiveness.
Care must be taken not to slip into the self-destructive side of these energies, the drive for ever-greater power, but rather to use them constructively in the pursuit of meaning and the process of Individuation.
After the autumn equinox, the Sun, “drawn in” by the force of night, moves toward the winter solstice.
It has left behind the lightness of Libra and enters the collective hemisphere.
The personality has been forged, it has confronted “others”, and must now determine what it will do with social relationships, what it will “build” from them. There is an imperative need to evolve, to learn, to improve, and also to know what must be relinquished in order to move forward more effectively.
