I was taken by that quote, so appropriate for this time of year when the Sun meets the Moon in the dark recesses of Scorpio. Pluto ruled Scorpio, after all, is all about power. It is also about purging, ruthlessness and eventually healing and transformation. And in the process, Scorpio's energy allows us to step across the boundaries separating the physical from the spirit.
It is no accident then, that so many mediums, intuitives, and psychics have a a strong dose of Pluto, 8th House, or Scorpio in their birth charts.
The gift of Scorpio is to look at death in the face and not flinch. By doing so, you can see past the dying into the essence of what makes us unique yet connected, our inner light, our soul... This is where we find our connection to the Divine--and each other.
But sometimes we cannot access it until we have been stripped bare. In other words, it isn't until we face severe challenge and hardship and are forced to give up our external trappings of status, wealth, or the loss of someone or something very dear that we are forced to go inward. When the outer world fails us that we have no choice but to find our inner light.
It is through such experiences that we become wise, and connect to our personal power. But that does not come without going through the purging and the pain. Because we find out how strong we really are.
