Serpent Medicine

Healing is not a promised fix, a cookie cutter solution or coming into perfection, moulded into a version of you that is nothing like the old you.

It is painful, messy and utterly imperfect as you practice standing on the shoulders of the previous yous, as the present you.

Healing is your sole journey from your own unique experience of trauma, grief and pain, back to your path of purpose. By finding or creating a safe, secure space in yourself and in life; protecting what is dear to you, redesigning who you are truly, now, after all that’s happened; shattering the confinements of old beliefs that are holding you back from being who you really are.

The mysterious Scorpio Medicine is metamorphosic and multi-layered in the Seven Archetypes: the Spider, Scorpion, Lizard, Serpent, Wolf, Eagle (Dove) and the Phoenix.

Serpent Medicine allows you to shed your skin, so you can run wild and free and soar and rise. This kind of healing happens in the sacred, the private space in Scorpio that is often labelled secret; within yourself, dropping into the darkest, murkiest parts of you, into the ugly and unknown (not onto social media).

With Sun in Scorpio your Serpent Medicine initiates you on a healing journey into 2025, the Year of the Wood Snake*: a profound opportunity for personal growth, philosophical quests and a reimagining of the world.

This Scorpio Season is more intense than usual, holding space for Pluto’s Ingress into Aquarius and agitated by the final Mars - Pluto opposition in our lifetime: profound shedding of the need for hierarchical and patriarchal belief systems. Shed the skin you’ve outgrown and stand strong in your new being, you are not alone! You you will see, as you emerge from the chrysalis of your Pluto in Capricorn Cocoon.

*The Lunar New Year falls on 29 January 2025 and the Year of the Wood Serpent comes to conclusion on 17 February 2026
