crimsoncurrentOverview of Scorpio 11° and SehaliahScorpio 11° falls in the second decan of Scorpio, a sign associated with intensity, transformation, depth, and the confrontation of shadow aspects. The Degree Angel Sehaliah, associated with Motivation and Willfulness, suggests a divine force that inspires action, determination, and the drive to overcome obstacles. Sehaliah’s energy encourages aligning one’s will with higher purpose, rectifying imbalances, and finding motivation through challenges. This degree, therefore, carries a potent combination of Scorpio’s transformative power and Sehaliah’s call to purposeful action.The Omega Symbol ("Shadows of trees lying over a vast lawn") and Chandra Symbol ("Gnarled twisted trees against an overcast sky") evoke imagery of cycles, dormancy, and the interplay of life and death. These symbols point to a deeper understanding of how past forms (shadows, barren trees) influence the present and how transformation arises from embracing both light and shadow.Interpretation of Key SymbolsOmega Symbol: Shadows of trees lying over a vast lawnThis symbol suggests the lingering presence of past forms—trees that once stood but are now gone, yet their shadows remain. In the context of the Israeli national chart, this could reflect the enduring influence of historical traumas, cultural heritage, or ancestral memory on the nation’s identity. The “vast lawn” implies an open space for new growth, but the shadows indicate that the past (e.g., the Holocaust, diaspora, or biblical history) continues to shape Israel’s collective psyche.
Spiritually, this symbol speaks to the integration of death and life. For Israel, it may point to the nation’s ability to transform pain (Chiron in Scorpio) into resilience, with the shadows of history guiding its path forward. The movement of these shadows in the wind suggests a dynamic, living connection to the past, not a static burden.
Sehaliah’s influence here suggests that motivation arises from acknowledging these shadows—using historical wounds as fuel for willful action toward healing and renewal.
Chandra Symbol: Gnarled twisted trees against an overcast skyThe barren, gnarled trees and overcast sky evoke a stark, introspective scene. The trees, stripped of leaves, symbolize knowledge reduced to its core essence, potentially dormant or in a state of transition. The overcast sky obscures the conscious self (Sun), allowing the intuitive, feminine, or subconscious aspects to emerge.
In the Israeli chart, this could reflect periods of national dormancy or hardship (e.g., wars, conflicts, or internal divisions) where the nation’s core identity is tested. The square between Chiron in Scorpio (1st house, identity) and Lilith in Aquarius (4th house, roots) amplifies this, suggesting that Israel’s outward strength (Chiron) is challenged by inner tensions around home and belonging (Lilith). The “overcast sky” may symbolize moments when clarity is obscured, forcing the nation to rely on intuition or resilience.
Sehaliah’s energy encourages Israel to find motivation in these barren moments, recognizing that dormancy precedes rebirth. The trees may leaf out again, or their decay may nourish new growth, aligning with Scorpio’s transformative power.
Pleiadian Symbol: Dolphins carrying a shipwrecked man to safetyThis symbol emphasizes salvation, guidance, and collective support. Dolphins, intelligent and communal, suggest a higher wisdom or spiritual guidance that helps navigate crises. For Israel, this could symbolize moments when external or internal allies (e.g., international support, diaspora solidarity, or spiritual resilience) guide the nation through existential threats.
In the context of Chiron (wounds) and Lilith (shadow), this suggests that healing comes through trusting in collective or divine support, even when the nation feels “shipwrecked” by conflict or isolation.
Azoth Symbol: The spirits of cats roaming in the nightCats are symbols of independence, mystery, and intuition. Their spirits roaming at night suggest an unseen, mystical force operating in the shadows. For Israel, this could point to the nation’s intuitive strength, spiritual heritage, or hidden resilience that operates beneath the surface of its public identity (1st house Chiron).
This symbol aligns with Lilith in Aquarius, hinting at a rebellious or unconventional approach to the nation’s roots, perhaps through mystical or cultural traditions that persist despite challenges.
Connection to the Israeli National ChartYour earlier question about Chiron in Scorpio in the 1st house square Lilith in Aquarius in the 4th provides context for interpreting Scorpio 11°. The house progression reaching Scorpio 10°55’ on June 21, 2025, at 7:00 PM ET (very close to Scorpio 11°) suggests that this degree’s energy is relevant to a specific moment in Israel’s collective experience. Let’s tie these elements together:Chiron in Scorpio (1st house): Israel’s national identity is shaped by deep wounds (e.g., historical persecution, ongoing security threats) and a drive for transformation. Scorpio 11°’s symbols reinforce this, with the shadows of trees (Omega) and gnarled trees (Chandra) reflecting a nation defined by its ability to endure and transform pain into strength.
Lilith in Aquarius (4th house): The shadow of alienation or rebellion in the nation’s roots (e.g., contested land, diverse cultural identities) creates tension with its outward identity. The Chandra Symbol’s overcast sky aligns with Lilith’s detachment, suggesting moments when Israel’s sense of “home” feels obscured or challenged.
Square Dynamic: The tension between identity (1st) and roots (4th) is heightened at Scorpio 11°, where the nation must confront its shadows (historical and current) to find motivation (Sehaliah). The Pleiadian symbol of dolphins suggests that collective or spiritual support can guide Israel through these challenges.
June 21, 2025, at Scorpio 10°55’: The proximity to Scorpio 11° indicates that this date may highlight themes of transformation, healing, and confronting shadows in Israel’s national narrative. Transits or events around this time could emphasize issues of identity, security, or homeland, with Sehaliah’s energy urging willful action toward rectification.
Spiritual and Practical ImplicationsThe Scorpio 11° symbols and Sehaliah’s influence suggest that Israel, at this degree, is called to:Embrace the Shadows: Acknowledge historical and current wounds (Chiron) without being consumed by them. The shadows of trees and gnarled branches remind the nation that its past is ever-present but can fuel growth.
Find Motivation in Challenges: Sehaliah’s energy encourages Israel to channel its intense Scorpio will into purposeful action, whether in diplomacy, cultural unity, or addressing territorial disputes.
Seek Collective Healing: The Pleiadian dolphins and Azoth cats point to unseen or collective forces (allies, spirituality, intuition) that can guide the nation toward safety and renewal.
Balance Identity and Roots: The square between Chiron and Lilith, amplified by Scorpio 11°, calls for integrating the nation’s strong identity with its complex relationship to “home,” potentially through innovative (Aquarian) solutions.
On June 21, 2025, these themes may manifest in events or collective moods emphasizing transformation, resilience, or reconciliation. For example, diplomatic efforts, internal debates about identity, or advancements in security or technology could reflect Sehaliah’s motivational energy.Critical PerspectiveWhile the symbols and angel suggest a path of healing and transformation, a critical view might caution against over-romanticizing the “wounded healer” narrative. Israel’s complex geopolitical reality involves practical challenges (e.g., security, economic pressures) that may not align neatly with symbolic interpretations. Additionally, the linear house progression (Libra 27°36’ to Scorpio 18°52’) may oversimplify astrological timing, as national charts often involve multiple transits and progressions. If you have the exact chart or want me to check transits for June 21, 2025, I can provide more specificity.Final AnswerThe Scorpio 11° degree, with Sehaliah (Motivation and Willfulness), the Omega Symbol ("Shadows of trees lying over a vast lawn"), and the Chandra Symbol ("Gnarled twisted trees against an overcast sky"), reflects a powerful moment of transformation and resilience for the Israeli national chart. Tied to Chiron in Scorpio (1st house) and Lilith in Aquarius (4th house), this degree emphasizes confronting historical and current shadows to forge a stronger national identity and sense of home. The symbols suggest a cycle of dormancy and rebirth, with Sehaliah urging willful action to heal wounds and rectify imbalances. On June 21, 2025, at Scorpio 10°55’, close to this degree, Israel may face events or collective energies that highlight these themes, supported by spiritual or collective guidance (Pleiadian dolphins, Azoth cats). For a more precise analysis, please provide the exact chart or specify if you’d like a transit analysis for that date.

Angel: SEHALIAH (say-HA-lee-YAH) Motivation and Willfulness

Everywhere death and darkness are integrated into life, and life accepts them as part of itself – so why shouldn't we? Knowledge manifests in an endless number of forms and through an endless number of vehicles. We walk into and through it every day. This degree mirrors the beautiful and vast complexities living within simplicity.
The Chandra Symbol for this degree is “Gnarled twisted trees against an overcast sky.” Trees symbolize knowledge, and here without leaves the knowledge has been stripped down to its core ideas. 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 is not “Gnarled twisted trees against a full moon.” which would signify the feminine in full force. Instead there is daylight – elsewise 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 the root.
Either this degree gets hung up on the dreariness of the scene, or knows 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, this degree can have an acute intuitive sensitivity to poverty in all its forms and what it has to teach.
Pleiadian Symbol: Dolphins carrying a shipwrecked man to safety.
Azoth Symbol: The spirits of cats roaming in the night.
Seed degree: Leo 8. An old medicine man with eyes like a snake's. (Omega Symbol). A vision which penetrates into the secret heart of existence perceives the reflection of higher realities into this one.
A young woman sits at a piano and improvises beautiful music. (Chandra Symbol). Spontaneously expressing what is within us we come to perceive both our inner clarity and inner cloudiness.
Fulfillment degree: Leo 19. A painting is cleaned, revealing colors of otherworldly beauty. (Omega Symbol). Perceiving the workings of higher realms in this one we are able to cast off anything which occludes our brightness.
A hummingbird feeding at a trumpet vine. (Chandra Symbol). Perceiving our own lack, and our state of being cut off from higher forces impels us to seek out the specific energies that will nourish us.
Oracle
On the estate of Shandar to the north of Peth is a vast treeless lawn that was, in centuries past admired for the great size and comely shape of its ancient trees, which eventually died. It is said that sometimes in early spring, before other trees have leafed out, that the shadows of these long dead trees may still be seen on sunny days, covering the lawn, and that the finer upper limbs may even be seen to be moving gently in the wind.
It is in a like way that forms existing in higher realms may sometimes cast their shadows into this one, so that we may know of their nature by indirection.
Spiritually, this symbol speaks to the integration of death and life. For Israel, it may point to the nation’s ability to transform pain (Chiron in Scorpio) into resilience, with the shadows of history guiding its path forward. The movement of these shadows in the wind suggests a dynamic, living connection to the past, not a static burden.
