As the sun moves through Scorpio (October 23 – November 21), we’re invited to plunge into the shadowy recesses of our souls. Scorpio’s energy is transformative, intense, and unflinchingly honest—a cosmic invitation to confront what’s hidden. Pair this potent season with the radiant, clarifying energy of Citrine, and you create a sacred alchemy for profound healing. Let’s explore how this golden crystal can illuminate your shadow work journey.
Why Shadow Work Thrives in Scorpio Season
Shadow work—the practice of confronting repressed emotions, fears, and subconscious patterns—aligns powerfully with Scorpio’s archetypal themes. Ruled by Pluto, the planet of rebirth, Scorpio season asks: What needs to die within you to make space for renewal? It’s a time to embrace vulnerability and transmute pain into power. But diving into the shadows can feel daunting. That’s where Citrine steps in.
Citrine: The Solar Plexus’s Radiant Ally
Known as the “Stone of Abundance,” Citrine resonates with the solar plexus chakra, our center of personal power and manifestation. Its golden hues carry the energy of sunlight—warming, clarifying, and dissolving stagnation. Metaphysically, Citrine is revered for:
- Dissolving fear and self-doubt
- Activating courage to face emotional blockages
- Infusing joy into challenging transformational work
- Attracting prosperity through authentic self-expression
During Scorpio season, Citrine becomes a torch in the dark, helping you navigate shadowy terrain without losing sight of your inner light.
Shadow Work Prompt: "What Fear Holds My Power Hostage?"
This Scorpio season, use the following Citrine-anchored ritual to uncover hidden fears blocking your sovereignty.
Step 1: Set Your Sacred Space
Hold a Citrine crystal (or wear a Citrine-adorned bracelet) as you light a black or deep purple candle—colors of Scorpio’s transformative fire. Breathe deeply, inviting Citrine’s energy to fortify your solar plexus. Affirm: “I am safe to see what needs to be seen.”
Step 2: Journaling the Shadows
With Citrine nearby, meditate on these questions:
- What fear have I buried because it feels too shameful to confront?
- How does this fear restrict my ability to claim my power?
- What would freedom look like if this fear dissolved?
Let Citrine’s energy soften resistance. If emotions arise, place the crystal over your heart—its warmth brings compassion to raw revelations.
Step 3: Alchemy through Action
Identify one small step to reclaim power from fear. For example, if you uncovered fear of financial insecurity (a common solar plexus shadow), pair Citrine with a prosperity-boosting bracelet to ground intentions. Visualize Citrine’s light dissolving the fear’s grip.
Amplify Your Practice: Citrine Pairings
For added support, combine Citrine with:
- Obsidian: Scorpio’s volcanic ally for truth-seeking. Try a bracelet blending Citrine and Obsidian to balance light and shadow.
- Moonstone: Enhances emotional intuition during vulnerable work.
- Smoky Quartz: Grounds intense releases into the body.
Embracing Scorpio’s Gift: The Phoenix Rising
Shadow work isn’t about “fixing” yourself—it’s about reclaiming fragmented power. As Citrine illuminates your inner landscape this Scorpio season, remember: every fear acknowledged is a thread of light rewoven into your spirit. You are not destroying the dark; you’re becoming whole.
May your journey through the depths reveal gold. 🔮
