Scorpio Season Is, Um, Intense

After a pretty hectic Libra season (thanks to last week’s solar eclipse), we’re finally moving on to Scorpio season, and the vibe is changing! The Sun enters the fixed water sign of Scorpio on Monday, October 23 and stays there until Wednesday, November 22. During Scorpio season, we all become far less interested in the superficial. No matter your zodiac sign, you’re feeling far more emotional, intense, and focused on what’s real. The water signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are thriving the most right now, while the fixed signs Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius are having a hectic time.

Libra season was all about learning through new connections and forming relationships, and now Scorpio season wants you to hone in on those relationships. Take the people and things that matter most, focus on them, and allow yourself to become more entangled. You’re taking someone/something you like, and you’re able to transform it into your passion.

The planet of structure and patience, Saturn, is harmonizing with the Sun, Mercury, and Mars in Scorpio, so it feels like you’re being eased into the emotional atmosphere that is Scorpio season. It’s easy to get into deep conversations with others, and you’re able to connect on more meaningful levels. You’re also more analytic, so it’s a great time to investigate and learn more about who or what you’re interested in. With these amplified emotions come a stronger sense of intuition, so now more than ever, you shouldn’t neglect your instincts.

This month, you might also discover that something/someone that’s a big part of your life is no longer a good fit. Scorpio is ruled by Mars, the warrior, and you’re feeling more assured than ever when it comes to cutting out these toxic connections. Another of the planetary rulers of Scorpio is Pluto, the planet of power and transformation. Right now, you have the ability now to change into the best version of yourself while purging your life of that which no longer serves you.

One thing to look out for: Scorpio energy has a tendency to be a little paranoid, and with how emotional you’re feeling now, it’s easy to start spiraling. There’s also a fear of being vulnerable, despite a strong yearning for deep, intense connections. Embrace these heightened emotions and allow yourself to open up to others. If you can’t, you’re missing out on a ton of what Scorpio season has to offer!

Read your Sun/Rising sign horoscope for Scorpio season 2023:

Aries

You’re as independent as they come, but this month, you’re learning just how much others have control over your life. Instead of fighting them, learn to understand and accept like your colleagues, your partner, and your job unfortunately do have a lot of influence over your life. Work with these systems instead of viewing them as restrictions or restraints, and you’ll see that they actually have some benefit in your life.

Taurus

It’s cuffing season for your sign! This month’s vibe is helping you to let your walls down and make meaningful connections with other people. If you’re single, you might meet someone special. If you’re in a situationship, you might DTR. And if you’re coupled up, you could take things to the next level. And no matter your relationship status, you’re turning buddies into besties and squashing beef with ex-friends or lovers.

Gemini

If you’re feeling ill, it’s very important you get it checked out this Scorpio season. You’re more in touch with your body right now, so symptoms of any unhealthy, unproductive habits are much stronger. Cleaning your room, eating a vegetable every now and then, and committing to taking a walk or a jog every once in a while can really improve your physical and mental health. Bonus: The healthy habits you start now are promised to stick around for a long, long time.

Cancer

It’s love! Or maybe it’s lust… but who cares! You’re more expressive, creative, and affectionate right now, and this is turning you into a love magnet. Hookups can happen more easily and frequently, romance can find its way into your life, and no matter what happens, it’s easy to find a silver lining. If you have something you want to say or do, especially when it comes to romance, now’s the time to do it—unapologetically.

Leo

Go back to your roots, Leo. You like to live in the moment, so hitting pause and taking a look back is really not your favorite thing to do. But it’s important that you don’t forget where you come from! This Scorpio season, focus on spending time with your family—biological or chosen. Take a trip down memory lane. Rest your body and refresh your mind.

Virgo

Scorpio season helps you to find the perfect words to say, Virgo. If you think it’s time to send an important message or start a major conversation, the stars are urging you to do so! This is a great time to study or meet new people—your brain needs stimulation, and the more you learn and connect with others, the better you’ll feel. Your social life is more lively now, too. New friends (and maybe a potential lover, if you’re single) are on the way!

Libra

You have a bad reputation when it comes to being flaky, buddy. Your opinions tend to bend and shift depending on who’s around, but Scorpio season is here to help you solidify your thoughts, feelings, and ideas. You might get into more arguments now, but that’s only because you’re standing your ground and sticking to your morals for what feels like the first time ever. This is also a great time to focus on your work. More money can easily come your way if you put in the effort.

Scorpio

Happy birthday, Scorpio! It’s the best season of the year! Take time to carefully consider your options in life—the romantic ones, the platonic ones, and the professional ones. Who or what seems the most enticing to you? Who or what can you really see yourself sticking with for a long time? Once you’ve decided, shoot your shot. The projects and relationships you start now promise to have longevity and great significance.

Sagittarius

Exes of all kinds—romantic, platonic, and professional—are emerging, and the stars are urging you to take a look back, reconnect, and decide whether or not they deserve a place in your life now. An ex-lover might make a great friend in the present, or an old friend might be a helpful professional connection. Going back in time and dealing with the past is never fun for you, but it’s necessary. That way, you can start Sagittarius season next month completely free of baggage!

Capricorn

You have a tight circle and you rarely let friends come or go. You’re picky with who you spend your time with, and once you choose a friend, you’re choosing them for good. Sometimes this makes it so that your friends are few and far between, but you’re able to pick up a few more this Scorpio season. You’re more extroverted and open to meeting others now, so it’s a great time to build up your contacts list and maybe even make a new bestie or two!

Aquarius

Scorpio season means that your work is being scrutinized extra hard, so it’s important to do your best! You’re reaching the finishing line for major jobs or projects now, and the better you perform, the greater your rewards will be. A promotion, a raise, or a bonus could come your way soon. But if you flop and only half-ass your work, the consequences will be dealt out accordingly.

Pisces

You’re happy living in your own little world most of the time, but Scorpio season is here to bring you back down to earth. It’s time to take a look at the real world around you. Instead of dreaming and imagining all the things you want to do, now’s the time to grab life by the balls and actually do the thing! Take a trip. Go on an adventure. Scorpio season is all about experiencing the world around you and growing as a result of all the rich experiences you encounter. You just have to leave la-la land first.
