Astro Casting: Faith & Buffy as Venus Scorpio's Shadow & Light
TLDR: Autumn's dark Feminine ain't all bad until she actually is.
Venus ingressed Scorpio around midnight on the 2024 Autumn Equinox and I cannot wait to astrocast her vibe with the OG chicks who forever slay: Faith and Buffy.
IYKYK: "In every generation, there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer."
While Venus Scorpio is technically debilitated, this transit through October 17th is an opportunity to work with the dark Feminine principle in her highest octave: Buffy. Scorpio rules Transformation, and B is the undisputed champ at staring down the apocalypse with one hand twisting her hair into a scrunchy and the other wielding a battle axe like NBD. Sure, her love life sucks — not Buffy dating a vamp again — but can the Chosen One complain when she’s got supernatural strength? This is Venus Scorpio at her best: owning and using her shadow for the greater good even if she’s date-less and slightly late for prom.
Then there’s Faith, called to Slay after Buffy dies but is reborn the first time. Faith’s dark Feminine principle slashes and burns without remorse, taking what she claims is owed through sheer force: men, money, mortality. Venus Scorpio’s lowest expression is senseless Death. Not only is Faith a willing participant in End of Times, but she is the trigger and the trauma all rolled into one. There’s seduction in such power, and Buffy initially leans into Faith’s MO. Herein lies the lesson and blessing, the karma and dharma, of Slayer lore and the dark Feminine: turn the poison into power.
Remedy? Wear red lipstick. Maybe get that tattoo. Celebrate the shadow aspect of this transit. Feel the energy. Look your badass self in the mirror and choose better than greed, vengeance, annihilation. Wake up and pick supernatural strength over the slash and burn.
Just leaving this oh-so-deserving Slayer fan homage right here for flavor:
You’re welcome.
