Reminders for navigating the Playing Field of Life this season, whether you're Caves, Markets, Kitchens, Mountains, Valleys or Shores

Based on the position of the stars out there, how might you best hold yourself on Earth at this moment? Read more to orient and navigate the Playing Field of Life this season, according to what you resonate to.

The Scorpion

You've entered the zodiac season of depth, transformation, and sacred reckoning.

Are you ready? Let’s lean FULLY into that underworld energy and map it through your Human Design Environment.

Where in your habitat and lifestyle will you be affected by this energy that twinges and colours the atmosphere?

This month, you're completing a journey that began way back in 2012. Time-travel back to this era to review where you were, what you were doing, and who you were with.

What was happening for you as we pushed into the 2010s? What quest were you in? What unfinished business might reveal itself to you?

How much time and energy do you think it actually takes to complete a True Quest on the Playing Field of Life?

You will have so many quests and sidequests in your life.

This is a time of deep connection. You will feel this reverberate through many areas of your life, as the entire Playing Field is twinged with themes of shadowwork, death & rebirth, secrecy, power, and intense intimacy.

Do not fear the dark. Find the courage to face the dark — for your eyes are calibrated for it during Scorpio Season. If you are brave enough to peer into the shadows, you may discover some enchanting things that transform your perception and desires.

Remember: While Scorpions do have eyes, their entire exoskeleton — their body — acts as a whole-body light sensor. Their bodies act like One Big Eye, absorbing light and radiating it, making them glow in the dark.

Caves Enviroscope

Scorpio season presses you deep into the underworld. Here, secrets and buried patterns may surface—aches you thought were dormant or under your control—or wounds you thought had healed.

It's not that you're going to be in pain or suffering, but that you were once upon a time. Those experiences have shaped you.

Your invitation is to lean into this darkness with curiosity, and to let trust be the lamp that guides you. As you protect your back by deepening your relationship with your chosen people, you're protected as you descend to discover more of yourself.

What is the point of those challenges you went through if you do not use your body's awareness to embody the wisdom they gifted you? There is something powerful for you in this deep place within.

Your spirit, your Consciousness, is the one who sees what you experienced. This is the divine, holy part of you. You must be brave enough to look; otherwise, your body will hold unexcavated wisdom that may start to rot or hurt you.

You need a sanctuary strong enough for your resurrection. If a new dream has been emerging, you will have to go into your depths to actually excavate it.

This season calls you to purge what no longer anchors you—old fears, self-betrayals, unspoken grief, even promises you made at one time—and rebirth your foundational sense of inner security.

Time-travel back to 2012: what were you learning?

Let your rituals be gentle, grounded, and subterranean. The transformation available happens deep in your marrow.

Markets Enviroscope

Scorpio Season's alchemy comes alive in your marketplace of exchange. This isn't just about your work in the world, but the relationship to everything outside you, especially the important soul contracts and partnerships in your life.

Where are the places you are in deep exchange? Whose energy have you intimately braided with in this life? You will have many contracts with important people in life.

Now is the time to see beneath the surface of what’s being traded—what isn’t said, what’s hidden, where you give too much, where you hold back. You may sense that some trades in your life are vampiric, sucking your life force…

Others are deeply nourishing.

Where are the nourishing ones?

This season asks you to recalibrate what you offer the world: which skills, energy, time, or goods carry your signature depth? What are you offering in your workplace? What are you offering in your relationship to the influential people in your life? What are you offering romantically? Sexually? Predominantly?

This is also a good time to scan your investments—traditional funds, relationships, collaborations, marketing promotions—scanning for hidden costs AND hidden profit.

Be willing to walk away from deals that ask too much of you without return. If you're giving too much at home, renegotiate. If you're giving too much at work, renegotiate. The Market is your terrain; ensure you keep it fresh or transform it through integrity, where exchange is devotion, not debt.

Time-travel back to 2012: what were you learning?

Take notice if you feel indebted to someone or something this month, or if you feel others are indebted to you. You'll need to look deep inside to discover this honestly within yourself.

Kitchens Enviroscope

Scorpio can stir the pot. But those deep scorpionic waters can also stir the cauldron of our desires.

This month, you may be drawn to experiments that are at the edge of something—breaking recipes, dismantling your style, calling in deeper collaborators who resonate with your kind of depth.

You may feel summoned to just throw everything into the cauldron just to see what comes out.

Permission to go deeper this month. Permission to get experimental. And when you're thrown into the cauldron Nesta-style, you're going to be transformed whether you concede or not.

Alchemy is never made by using only ONE ingredient. It always requires you to mix multiple ingredients together in order to make something new. There is something about Scorpio Season that demands witnessing and paying attention to the deeper things happening through the alchemy of your life.

Time-travel back to 2012: what were you learning?

When your expression is seen, when your destruction is held, when your chaos is received, when your people don't flinch from your shadow —a powerful transformation happens inside your soul.

Mountains Enviroscope

At your peak, Scorpio season invites you to drop any prestige that conceals your wounds. Why? What for? Who are you hiding your scars from? If you're all the way over here and they're all the way out there, what makes you think they can even SEE your wounds?

On the Mountain, you’re often asked to be untouchable—but now you're called to be more alive, more transparent, more grounded in your power.

Let go of the armour, it's unnecessary. It only makes it harder to move. Carry less, show more. Your personal altitude becomes richer when your heart is less guarded.

Weight you haven’t admitted to is often the heaviest to carry. When there is an unwillingness to accept what is hard for you, how can you expect to effortlessly rise?

This is your season to release shadows that have shaped your viewpoint. You can see so much more than that.

How can you stand with dignity, but also with tender depth?

How can you use the height you've gained to see deeper, not to see distance?

Where can you let your voice be the bridge between the summit and the chasm around you?

Time-travel back to 2012: what were you learning?

Remember, your altitude is not a pedestal—it’s a vantage point that allows you to see the truth around the corner.

Valleys Enviroscope

In the Valley, Scorpio drops in a fierce sensitivity to what moves through the currents—emotions, voices, silences, echoes.

As a Valleys Person navigating Scorpio Season, you'll be using your whole-body to sense the world around you.

You’re a conduit now; you feel what others barely whisper. But you also need discharge, purification, and limits. Your rhythm must swing between intake and release, between deep listening and sacred silence.

This is a time to curate your connections — not with distance, but with depth. Where can you go deep? Let go of half-intimacies, surface babble, and obligations that mute your tone.

This season, it's better to connect less frequently but more deeply, rather than superficially and quite consistently.

You don't know everything, and your limits are always going to be tested so you can evaluate if they still hold true for you.

If you set a rule for yourself, you also set the circumstances that will test that rule to see if it continues to hold true. What was created out of protection can also become a cage.

The protected one is you.

But the imprisoned one is also you.

This cage locks from the inside. You can leave at any time. So are you protected in there or imprisoned? Do you want someone else in there with you?

Time-travel back to 2012: what were you learning?

If you find yourself living in loops, playing out the same scenes with new characters, you may have to inquire if the part you're playing is actually fulfilling for you — or if you've just invested in something for so long that you've lost track of whether you're coming or going.

Shores Enviroscope

Scorpio Season calls you into the depths — to balance the flood of feeling with the art of anchoring. You’re meant to dive, not drown. To surf, not scatter. This is the month to move between worlds with discernment, carrying your power rather than leaking it into every current that calls your name.

What anchors you?
Who anchors you?
Where are you anchored now?

It doesn’t matter which side of the shore you’re on — only that you know where you stand. Know that you have a side, even if you claim you don't. Whatever horizon you face reveals the side you’ve chosen. You can always turn, always swim in a new direction, but pretending you have no position leaves you drifting.

Lost.

Drifting is not freedom; it’s disconnection. This is not a time to disconnect. Knowing your side is what anchors you.

Time-travel back to 2012: what were you learning?

This season asks for presence, not neutrality. Depth requires you to feel what you're feeling. Don't trick yourself into going a “middle” way. You are a being of edges and crossings. Don’t reject “your side” in the name of transcendence or peace — it’s your anchor to reality.

If you feel drawn into other realms —mystical, ancestral, quantum— GO THERE, DIVE IN, but remember where you are now. You can't undo and unlearn everything you've seen. Your perspective, your “side” is one of the most valuable things about you.

Anchor yourself before you dive, wayshower. The next dimension has already opened.
