What changes do you notice in your approach to deep, transformative experiences when they engage with your long-standing patterns of passion and attachment?

As Pholus moves through Scorpio, it creates a powerful opposition to your natal Eros in Taurus, ushering in a period where profound transformation knocks on the door of your established patterns of passion and attachment. This is a time when hidden or suppressed desires may surface, demanding your attention. The opposition aspect suggests a tug-of-war between the urge for deep, often drastic change (Pholus in Scorpio) and the desire to maintain stability and pleasure (Eros in Taurus). Your usual approach to love and what you hold dear is now facing an intense call to evolve.

Pholus is known for catalyzing significant shifts from seemingly minor events, and in Scorpio, these shifts tend to revolve around themes of control, power, and rebirth. Scorpio doesn't just skim the surface; it plunges into the depths, and with Pholus here, you might find yourself drawn to explore the mysteries of your relationships and desires with newfound courage. This may manifest as a sudden interest in more profound spiritual or emotional connections or a compulsion to break free from relationships or habits that no longer resonate with the core of who you are becoming.

On the other hand, your natal Eros in Taurus suggests a natural inclination towards sensuality, comfort, and a strong bond with the physical world. You value the reliability of what is tangible and proven, and your expressions of love and passion are usually grounded and enduring. Now, as the transformational energy of Pholus challenges this position, you may notice shifts in your approach to what you love and value. You might find yourself more willing to let go of material attachments if they hinder your emotional and spiritual growth. Alternatively, you could start to see your physical world as a platform for deeper metamorphosis, using your senses to guide you through changes.

This transit could be a time when you confront what has been hidden or taboo in your personal life. You may experience a push to delve into previously avoided psychological territories, such as deeply ingrained fears, secrets, or desires. The opposition necessitates a balance between holding on and letting go, and you might find yourself recalibrating your relationship with control-both over yourself and in the context of intimacy with others. As you navigate this terrain, trust in the process can be your ally. Allow yourself to surrender to the transformation that is underway, understanding that your passions and attachments are not being uprooted but rather are evolving to align with a more authentic version of yourself.
