Scorpio as Quiet Strength

Mercury lines up with Mars tomorrow morn US east coast time.  The meeting occurs in the sign Scorpio.  

Mercury on point of overtaking Mars.  They are in upper left quadrant under the sign Scorpio.

The blue M in outer circle with an arrow is the symbol for Scorpio.  Here is a video that introduces some of the zodiac signs including Scorpio.  This link goes to a page about how the amount of radiation we get from a body changes as it moves from one sign to another.  We have lost quite a bit of light during Sun's passage through Libra, and it is continuing to decrease in Scorpio.

Early Scorpio (almost 12 degrees Scorpio) is the area of the ecliptic where Mercury meets Mars tomorrow.

Then it will take almost a few more weeks to reach the Sun Mars line up.  They will still be in Scorpio.

Sun is next to Mars in lower left quadrant.  They are meeting near the end of Scorpio.

Scorpio is often associated with secrets, death etc.  I like to imagine food cooked, stored safely in sanitized jars and stashed away for future use.  Then of course there is the unattractive fruit left behind whose seed will find a place in the soil to germinate when the time is right.

Naturally (as in according to the patterns of nature) with Mars in the mix there will be quite a bit of adrenaline involved.  Mars comes with an acute sense of urgency, and it rules passively in Scorpio.
