Sun in Scorpio III (12-22 November 2023)

The Kouroi/Curetes/Korybantes, the 'male' spirits of the more dangerous aspects of the Land, rule the next ten days. How do you relate to the risks of living life on Earth? Do you take the risks, accept them, or avoid them?

The Sun enters Scorpio III on November 12, 2023 at 11:01 am EST. We’ve passed the gate of Daylight Saving Time (falling back one hour), and we’re now in the season of darkness pretty definitively. Austin Coppock called this decan The Crow, relating it both to the constellation Corvus and a myth of how Crow stole the feasting-goblet of the sun-god Apollo and was burned black for his trouble.…

Sun in Scorpio III — Kairos

Sun enters Scorpio III on 12 November at 5:16 am EST — the realm of Kairos, or opportunity. What openings have suddenly appeared in your life? What chances is it time for? where are you rushing to grab something? Where will you act despite consequences?

The Sun enters Scorpio III on 12 November 2022 at 5:16 am EST (note time change), administered by Venus under Mars. Austin Coppock called this decan The Crow, and the ancient Alexandrians associated it with the god Kairos, the personification of opportunity. The name references a myth about the sun-god Apollo, who forgot to bring his golden cup to the gods’ banquet, and sent a white crow to fetch…

Sun in Scorpio III — Kairos

The Sun enters the realm of Kairos/Caerus, the lord of opportunity. What chances will you gather to yourself? What risks will you take to have what you want?

The Sun enters Scorpio III at 36 minutes before midnight on November 11, 2021 — nearly the whole of Armistice Day/Veterans’ Day will pass before the fated moment. Austin Coppock called this decan “The Crow” in his book on the decans, 36 Faces, noting its connection to its administrating planet Venus, and the search for the bright and the shiny that seems to be a feature of those with prominent…

♏ The Scorpio III period takes Charm as its central image. This period can be compared in human terms to the time in a middle-aged person's life when the ability to influence others through magnetic and charismatic powers is heightened. In the Scorpio III period intense emotion may be used with telling effect to gain positive and constructive results, but equally well may be expended in furthering egotistical and narcissistic ends. The days that comprise Scorpio III symbolically reveal the attractive powers of the middle-aged adult, and the ability to forward aims (but also gain satisfaction) through investigation, observation, seductive charm and a judicious use of leadership skills. Expressive emotions may be directed constructively as a powerful tool for inspiring others but should not be exercised as a controlling mechanism. Instead, by gaining the trust of co-workers, employees, or clients, an emotional bond can be formed that promotes success for all concerned.

{November 12 - 18} Realists first and foremost, those born during the Week of Charm rarely overreach themselves. Because they have a realistic view not only of their own capabilities but of others’ as well, their judgment is generally trustworthy and their assessments keen. They do well in administrative positions or as leaders of a social group or working team, roles in which their evaluative, organizational and practical abilities can come to the fore.

Because they have a great deal together internally, many of them risk becoming complacent, or perhaps self-satisfied. This may be particularly clear in their careers, where they may reach an attainable point, then make no effort to rise higher. Unless those near and dear to these individuals encourage them to take chances from time to time, they may stagnate and, eventually, come to regret lost opportunities. Those who prove the most successful in life, whether in their careers or in their personal and spiritual endeavors, are often those who have dared to strive toward realizing their most impossible dreams.

Their passions are as strong as their control. Thus they may be subject to raging internal wars, which can even threaten to destroy them. The charming or inscrutable facade that they present to the world often hides tremendous inner conflicts. Those who are the objects of such passions, and the causes of such conflicts, may never realize how much emotion they are arousing, and therefore can hardly be expected to assume responsibility for it. Those who are able to show or at least discuss a small part of their feeling for another person will be closer to realizing success in their personal relationships.

These people are not accustomed to putting themselves in a disadvantageous position, no matter how much they desire a job or person. Their dignity is important to them, and they will rarely compromise it. Should they reach one of those points in life where an attraction is so overwhelming that it does obstruct their good sense, they will only succumb after a tremendous inner struggle. Addictions of all sorts, whether to drugs, medicines, people or behavior patterns, they only break with difficulty, but such compulsions, once mastered, are rarely readopted.

They must be careful lest they dominate others through overprotective or controlling attitudes. Such influences may be quite subtle, since they rarely seem smothering or dictatorial on the surface: fair and understanding, they arouse loyalty not only at home but at work. People tend to follow their bidding willingly, since they would never ask anyone to do something they wouldn’t do themselves. Yet they often throw up an unapproachable or forbidding exterior. Those who relate best to them are usually not put off by such a stance, or just don’t see it at all. These are the ones who can penetrate their defenses and win their hearts.

Those who want to make friends with them must keep in mind their aversion to anyone looking for a free ride. They are often attracted to self-sufficient individuals with something unusual to offer. On the other hand, the more seductive of them are sometimes quite vulnerable to the seductive skills of others. In particular, those who choose to follow a more questionable or unscrupulous path are in danger of getting conned by those with superior powers of deception.

Striving to remain open, even vulnerable, is the best hope for them if they are to avoid loneliness, particularly as they grow older. In seeming to have so much together, they often fail to arouse sympathy in others, yet their deeper needs are as great as anyone else’s. The ability to admit to their weaknesses and faults, and the courage to own up to their failures or to grieve openly over their losses, will be important for them in forming deep and lasting love relationships. A life partner may only materialize for these capable individuals once they have truly begun to master—and ultimately, perhaps, to relinquish—their own controlling attitudes.

These people rarely kid themselves about their romantic lives. No matter how much in love they seem to be, they are rarely found hanging on to relationships that have proved unproductive or detrimental; usually resourceful, self-possessed individuals, they know that there are always more fish in the sea. Yet they are faithful and sincere, and will give a relationship its best chance—but not more. Their sexual partners and mates learn soon enough not to take their attentions for granted, and to heed all warning signs—or find that what has been freely given can also be withheld, or withdrawn entirely.

Close friendships are important to those born during the Week of Charm who have chosen to live alone, or who lack the support of a family group. They can build a complete world around good friends, who, at certain points, may take the place of siblings, parents, children, mates or lovers for them. They often spend time with people who are very different from themselves, making for friendships in which each member supplies what the other lacks. By forging a circle of friends, they may succeed in making up for all, or almost all, of their deficiencies.
