Recently I'm thinking darkness is actually the default setting. Without it, we'd never perceive or experience light, and light illuminates what lies in the dark.
Thanks Adam, great vid.

The Scorpio energy (speaking from Scorpio Rising perspective) lays out a soul map to integration of the light and the dark. This human experience is a process of soul-making.

You have certainly presented the Scorpio archetype in a unique and intriguing way! I like it this different view.

Loved this oldie but goodie talk Adam! Your soul is shining bright.

its my 53rd return today..1 degree scorpio.  thank you for this video xoxo

Lol, when I was around 9, my girlfriends and I were playing at recess. In our game, I had somehow been chosen to be the mother. It was fun at first having all these friends shower me with attention and especially playing the role of boss. But I felt so sad afterwards. The next day at recess I abandoned them and found a tree to sit under in the school playground and cried. I couldn't verbalize it then, but I wanted something deeper, and I didn't want to be a boss. That key moment has been an undercurrent in my life. It's morphed over time into a way to understand how much I crave the unseen depths in any situation, or any person. Ultimately, I try to stay aware that I can get to the depths through a faithful practice in which I immerse myself into quiet meditations that satisfy the need to reflect and open my heart to whatever the gods might reveal to me.

***Standing Ovation***** YASss!

Having this dark side, that I quite like to entertain, has been a unusual experience. I’ve been conditioned into thinking it’s not okay to roam where the shadows linger. True, I may dive a little too deep some days, but I feel as if my soul aches for a deeper connection with my being. I feel pushed into shallow waters, when I long for the freedom of depth. I’m not looking to heal, I’m looking for the whole.

You don't talk about scorpio enough but when you do , boy you go hard!

I 💕 THIS!!! I have been surrounded by Scorpios my entire life and my first born is a Scorpio (who was assumed to be a Sag but arrived at 38 weeks 😍). I have had a consistently, completely different experience with Scorpio than what the stereotypes promote. Great video as always 🙏🏼🤘🏼❤️

Scorpio ascendant here - thank you for sharing your insights🌅

I always feel like run from darkness as a Scorpio

On a serious note, found your book before knowing you were an astrologer. Read it in a matter of days. And your willingness to be open about your journey and especially your hardships and inner healing has always just… idk. There’s no words, besides just being extremely grateful.

I am a Scorpio with my Mars in Pisces. A profound 'thank you'. Yes, a very validating examination of Scorpio!

Wow...  With the eclipse in Scorpio recently and how my Venus is in Scorpio,  this popped up randomly... And I really needed to hear it,  thank you for this video.  The divine must be working wonders 💖🙌🙏

Oh and the whole time listening there was a man with a chainsaw outside cutting up some trees! Ha!!

Thanks so much! Scorpio rising here. I hate psychological stereotypes and there are so many of them on every sign...People often make a weird face when I say Capricorn Scorpio rising 😬

Thank you for being transparent. People who work on themselves are building character. character who's roots go deeper and get stronger with use. God is good.

To add to your insightful wisdom regarding the Scorpio archetype I am reminded of what Joseph Campbell would often say: "Make no mistake, life feeds off itself". And as such...is natural and NOT evil. Evil "enters" (in my opinion) when the "ingesting" of life energies are done purely for egoic/power-over-other reasons. It appears that in many ways, each level of consciousness "feeds", in one form or another, off of the level (s) right beneath it. However, as the consciousness spiral evolves those "levels" become ever more subtle, etheric and energetic in nature and thus aren't considered under the same "judgemental" parameters as the gritty, earthy experiences we have here on Earth. It's all relative.🙏🌎

As someone who was born under quite a bit of Scorpio/Mars energy this video is appreciated very much.  Thank you! ♥
