Katie dives into the theme of discomfort, specifically what it means to sit with what’s hard instead of rushing to escape it. We live in a world that resists discomfort at every turn. The moment something feels uneasy, we grab our phones, open the fridge, scroll, or disassociate. But what if this season is inviting us to stay?

Welcome to Scorpio season, where transformation, truth, and depth take center stage. Scorpio (the eighth sign of the zodiac!) rules the realms of death, rebirth, and transformation. It’s fixed water energy: intense, emotional, and unflinching in its desire to go beneath the surface.

This month’s Full Moon in Taurus (November 5) and New Moon in Scorpio (November 19/20) bring a mix of grounding and depth. Taurus, another fixed sign, reminds us to root into the abundance we already have—while Scorpio invites us to explore what’s hidden, to meet the parts of ourselves we’ve avoided, and to trust the wisdom that lives within. 

In this conversation, Katie explores:

• How our constant need to self-soothe keeps us disconnected from growth
• What it means that Scorpio rules the 8th house 
• Understanding fixed energy (Scorpio + Taurus) 
• How Scorpio energy asks us to meet the hidden parts of ourselves with honesty 
• The difference between transforming to grow + transforming out of fear of being yourself
• Exploring the shadow side of Scorpio (control, anger, possessiveness, obsession)
• The shadow side of Taurus (overindulgence, stubbornness, attachment to comfort)
• The emotional fatigue of constant transformation + the cultural pressure to “evolve”
• Why slowing down is not regression, but an act of deep trust
