Scorpio, the Scorpion & The Death Major Arcana Card

Scorpio, draped in the enigmatic cloak of Pluto's influence, revels in the depths of intensity, power, and the unspoken. Enter the Death card, not a harbinger of doom, but a herald of rebirth and metamorphosis. The transformation it tells of is a power struggle we often attribute to pluto, but in traditional astrology - this honor is bestowed to mars, considered the traditional ruler of scorpio.

Scorpio and the Death card unite in a rebellion against the mundane, embracing the gritty beauty of life's darker facets, it calls on us to dig deeper to find all meanings, hidden as well as obvious. The scorpion's sting meets the transformative scythe, carving paths through the old, making space for the resurrection of the new - it removed the old body so a new one can emerge, it kills the old spirit so that the new rages on.

It's not about endings, or not just about endings; it's about Scorpio's relentless pursuit of the profound, the taboo, and the phoenix rising from the ashes. Near the battlefield, there is a sun rising in horizon.
