While Eros eventually evolved into Cupid, the cute god responsible for inspiring love and romance, in the earlier mythologies of ancient Greece, Eros was one of the primordial Gods. Alongside Chaos, the original void from which all else emerges; Nix (Night); and Tartarus, (The Abyss); Eros was imagined as one of the original elements responsible for the birth of all else in existence, a non-gendered, procreative force spurring the creativity of the cosmos itself.
This Scorpio New Moon marks a new beginning in intimacy. As we come more and more into the knowing that we are not separate, we turn toward each other, we turn toward home. We see that our isolation was self-imposed. We accepted shame, that lethal gift, that lie, that holds us apart. And because we accepted it, we can lay it down now.
Now we know. We are intricately, intimately, entangled with every other being in existence, whether we wish it so or not. The universe is an open system. Every move, every breath, every thought, ripples through to infinity.
It’s time to come home. It’s time to come together.
Scorpio courageously dives into the depths to grapple with that which has been repressed, to confront the dragons and turmoil within--to release, accept, clean up, forgive, love--ie to offer medicine to those monsters, not to kill them. And then to emerge renewed and utterly transformed.
