Spell of the Spider Woman

October 22, 2016 by Peg Aloi
Color of the day:  Indigo
Incense of the day:  Patchouli
 
Two of the most different signs in the zodiac lie right next to each other: Libra and Scorpio. Some astrology historians say there used to be a thirteenth sign-the Spider Woman-in between Libra and Scorpio. Libra, ruled by Venus, is associated with balance, sociability, and a love of beauty, romance, and relationships. Scorpio, ruled by Mars and Pluto, is associated with intensity, focus, solitude, loyalty, sexuality, and force of will. The Spider Woman bridges these divergent qualities.
Find an image of a woman and one of a spider, and place them on your altar; they may be realistic or magical. Each day for a week, move these images closer together until they are lying on top of each another, and think about bridging these opposing qualities in your own life. Can your intensity be balanced with a love of beauty for a more lighthearted energy? Can your fierce loyalty be balanced with sociability?
