Welcome to Scorpio season. An inward season of depth and determination, focus and renewal, passion and intuition.
When Does Scorpio Season Start?
Scorpio season starts on October 23, 2023, and takes us to November 21, 2023.
Beginning within eclipse season, the next month brings deep renewal and transformation and is filled with vast cosmic movements and invitations. Setting the stage for all the movement in our skies is the Sun journeying through the sign of Scorpio. As the Sun, representing our sense of self, consciousness, and life force, enters the waters of this Pluto-ruled sign of the zodiac, we are each invited to step into the world of Scorpio, too.
What Lessons Does Scorpio Season Teach?
Scorpio is an archetype that desires nothing more than to take us within the unseen aspects of ourselves and life. It guides us to reclaim what is real within us, what is lasting, and what is truly strength and security from within. It strips away all that is not real and invites us to return to what is by reaching into unknown and navigating the mysteries of life.
No other zodiac teaches us that cycles are constant more than the fixed sign of Scorpio. Transformation is a constant, and Scorpio innately understands that each moment is filled with both birth and death. This fixed nature brings a power to Scorpio, a determination and laser focus. Scorpio season brings passion to what we are claiming, clenching its hands and refusing to let go until what were once visions come into reality. It goes after its desires with a tenacity like no other, reminding us that to remain centered and determined on one thing is to be utterly transformed by it. To remain dedicated and actively taking steps upon the path that calls our name is to be completely reborn in the process.
Swimming deep within the waters of emotion that we all live within, Scorpio reads the tides and intuits the frequencies like no other. It senses, it sees, it penetrates into the other and reads the emotion behind the words, the intentions behind the action, and the patterns behind the ways of being.
Is throughout Scorpio season that we all wade into these waters. Our intuition becomes sharper, our sight extends beyond our two eyes, and our senses begin to fine tune to the environment around and within us. It is a season to trust in the emotional movements of your body, your hunches, gut responses, or insight that seems to drop in from places unknown. This is how the Scorpio that lives within each of us speaks.
What Scorpio Season Means for You
As the Sun shifts through the sign of Scorpio, it simultaneously travels through the space within our chart, and therefore within ourselves, that Scorpio influences. This emphasizes certain aspects of us and brings to light certain areas of our lives. It is through looking at our rising sign that we can understand the astrological house that is being illuminated this season.
Aries Rising
Scorpio season is a time of inward exploration, mystical consideration, and true intimacy. It invites you into this unseen realm and asks for time and space alone to reflect, consider, feel, and allow all that you encounter to transform the essence of who you are. This space alone acts as a doorway into deeper vulnerability within relationships. Scorpio itself—and, by extension, Scorpio season—represents the merging of self with another. It is the transformation that meets you through descending into such deep love and intimacy and through allowing the trust and surrender needed to share your truest self with another.
There is an acute sensitivity and awareness of unspoken energetic exchanges in interactions throughout the month ahead. Be aware of your ability to read, see, and know what takes place beneath the surface.
Taurus Rising
Scorpio may be your opposite sign, Taurus, yet it is also your partner. It exists on the same axis and moves you toward the same destination. This season invites you to step outside of your comfort zone and bring in new perspectives and spaces. Perspectives that will catalyze and transform how you move through the world. Perspectives that will likely come from the eyes of another, acting as a mirror through which you can see yourself differently. Spaces that will allow for change to occur, including concrete beliefs, routines, and identities that will allow the unknown to peer through and the mystery to come alive.
Gemini Rising
Daily steps, routines, and habits may feel small in the moment, Gemini, but they are transformational for you during Scorpio season. How you hold yourself everyday has the potential to walk you directly where you desire to be headed. Allow yourself to explore different habits and ways of being that support coming deeper into yourself and deeper into life—or commit yourself even more to the ones that already do. This time invites depth into your everyday living, both within and without, and asks you to come deeper into your body and hold space for a somatic and emotional release of what once felt heavy. By the end of our time in Scorpio, you may find that you’re a new person, Gemini.
Cancer Rising
A water sign in a water season. It’s time to remember that your emotions are your strength, Cancer. Your emotions are what guide your everyday decisions and your greatest desires. Your emotions add meaning to your visions and are the motivation within your passions. And your emotions are what bring you closer to another. This Scorpio season is about you, Cancer. About allowing yourself and your creations to be seen for who you are beyond the surface. Allowing yourself to express your depths with the knowing that you deserve the space you occupy—no matter how big that may feel at times. And allowing yourself to love, and be loved, in truth, security, vulnerability, and full expression.
Leo Rising
As the Sun shifts through Scorpio, it moves through the lowest and darkest part of your chart, Leo. It illuminates and calls you into your roots, your lineage, your inner child, and your early conditioning. It calls you to venture through and begin unravelling the patterns that sit deep within your body that are no longer yours to hold and perhaps never were. This is a season that brings reflection, not just into the recent past but into the foundations from which you have grown, and the spaces within that foundation that hold anything but truth. Scorpio desires for each of us to reclaim the true meaning of empowerment, which may first guide us to look at any ways we have given away our power. It’s your season to reclaim yourself, from the ground, and perhaps even deeper, and up.
Virgo Rising
How does your intuition communicate with you, Virgo? Does it speak through insights, whispers, or instinctual feelings in the body? Does it make itself known through your emotions and visions, daydreams or desires? This is a good season to touch deeper into how you connect with your intuitive knowing, Virgo, as it will be dialed all the way up. It’s also an aligned time to begin trusting its voice—your hunches and your emotions—regardless of what your logic might say.
Your mind needs feeding this season, Virgo. Allow yourself to dive deep into the interests that call you and the topics that ignite a passion from within. They may be your doorway into total transformation.
Libra Rising
Scorpio season invites you to sink deep into your body, Libra. To hear its desires and its hurts, its memories and its hopes. It is within the body that patterns, beliefs, and shifts await to take you deeper into self-value, self-honoring, and self-worth. Through somatic movement, yoga, massage, dance, or something else, your body is the portal back home to yourself this season.
There is an invitation to solidify the dreams you are building and commit to tangible action, to play in your senses and sit in awe of your body, and to build your skills and your relationship to both inner and outer security and wealth.
Scorpio Rising
It’s your season, dear Scorpio, and as the Sun illuminates the first House of Self, we are often gifted both a strengthening of our self and our identities, and a total transformation of it. It’s a shedding to find what is real. And a dropping of layers to emerge as the truth of who we are.
This is a beautiful season to consider how you see yourself and how you desire to see yourself. How you move through the world and how you desire to dance. To take stock of the traits and ways of being that no longer fit and the ones desiring to birth themselves through you. It’s a season to celebrate who you are, how far you have come, and to solidify your visions for the future. And it’s a season to take your tenacious determination and claim your path forward.
Sagittarius Rising
Despite all that we see and feel in our physical environment, there seems to be a world, or perhaps many worlds, existing far beyond time and space. This season takes you there, Sagittarius. It brings you into the subtle energy flow of all that exists beyond the senses. It takes you into realities that have been labeled the akasha, creation, divinity. In this realm, knowing speaks louder than words, intuition louder than logic, energy louder than form. And it all exists within, asking for inward journeying, space alone, and deep reflection. It is also within this world that we find ourselves within the space that all of humanity seems to exist within. The door is open.
There is an invitation this season to explore how to trust and strengthen your intuition, imagination, and connection with energy. It is also a season to explore how to work with boundaries, whether physical, emotional, or energetic. Walking through that doorway can take us into more than what is ours to hold in this moment.
Capricorn Rising
Scorpio season may be a vastly different energy to yours, Capricorn, yet within it a common thread is held—that of determination. This is a month to look forward and to build upon your inner strength, trust, and knowing that the mountain that calls your name is also the mountain that you were built to climb, and that you have everything required within you to reach its top.
This season invites inner visioning, daytime dreaming, walking outside of your comfort zone, and a reclaiming of your trust in yourself. It invites you to look to your community for support and observe what lives beyond all that is currently etched into the collective consensus –into the dreams that live outside of what might feel like the norm, safe, known, and outside what a part of you, and perhaps many others, have considered reality, and possible.
Aquarius Rising
It’s a season to turn up your magnetism, Aquarius, and allow it to work in your favour. As the Sun shines in Scorpio, it also shines in the highest point of your astrological chart. The part of the chart that receives the most sun, seeming to symbolize the part of yourself that also reaches the most people, and makes the most impact. This season illuminates your legacy, career, or the thing you desire to build that will last beyond you. It shines a light on your public persona and how the world seems to view you. And it is this season that brings favor to this part of your world through support, magnetism, life force, determination, and focus. What do you wish to create in this area of your life? What message do you wish to share? It’s your season to claim the answers.
Pisces Rising
This season brings perspective, Pisces, as if you are standing upon the highest mountain and seeing life from this view. From here, you can see left, right, backward, and forward. You can see both the details and the whole, patterns and structures, where we are coming from and where we are emerging. Scorpio brings a keen intuitive knowing to this sight, bringing it beyond the surface and penetrating unseen motivators and movements.
Throughout this time, you are invited to sit upon this high mountain and observe the larger picture, Pisces, whether your own or the one that you seem to be held within. This season holds the space to consider, reconsider, and claim your beliefs, to transmute your lived experiences into deep wisdom, to broaden your horizons of what is known, and transform into the you that seems to be waiting beyond your current self.
