Scorpio 11

Trees symbolize knowledge, and here without leaves the knowledge has been stripped down to its core essence. The overcast sky means the Sun, which is the conscious self, is obscured, thereby allowing the more intuitive feminine side to come forth. Note that it’s not “Gnarled twisted trees against a full moon.” which would signify the feminine in full force. Instead there is daylight – otherwise we wouldn’t see the trees.

The trees may be dead, but they also may be dormant. Either they will leaf out into new manifestations of knowledge, or if dead will rot and fall – which will also allow new manifestations of knowledge to grow, but in a more complete way – that is, from new trees.

Either you get hung up on the dreariness of the scene, or know that all barrenness is part of a process of cyclic change, and so is to be welcomed as a prelude to a re-flowering. At any rate, you can have an acute intuitive sensitivity to poverty in all its forms and what it has to teach.
