Astrologically, autumn started off with a bang. The past month has been action-packed thanks to the eclipses in Pisces and Libra, but things are finally starting to calm down. On October 22, the Sun enters Scorpio, pulling away from the drama of Libra and eclipse season, and allowing you to focus more on your inner world. This is a super emotional time, and your feelings—good and bad—are amplified. The water signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are thriving the most during this season, while the fixed signs Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius are having more intense experiences.
Scorpio is the zodiac’s singular fixed water sign. “Fixed water” sounds like an oxymoron, but think of ice, or the saying, “Still waters run deep.” On the surface, you’re not as expressive right now, but deep down, there’s a ton of action happening, and your emotions are stronger than ever. Scorpio is a passionate sign, but terrified of vulnerability, so opening up and sharing all of your intense feelings is extra difficult. However, all of the tremendous emotions you’re feeling this Scorpio season have tons of good potential! You’re feeling fired up and motivated, and you’re capable of sharing immense amounts of love and care—but only if you can let your walls down.
Another big Scorpionic vibe you’re feeling is a hunger for truth. You’re looking for something that’s real. The superficiality and casual connections you experienced during Libra season aren’t of much interest to you anymore—you’re looking for something deep, intimate, and meaningful right now. Scorpio is loyal, almost to a fault, and you’re more interested in commitment these days, so flings of any kind aren’t really happening. You’re still making new connections at this time, and you’re better at feeling out people's vibes to decide if you’re interested or not. You’re capable of making a new friend that feels like a soul sister to you, or seeing a new partner that you instantly form a deep connection with. You’re also able to scope out bad energy coming from someone, so if someone shitty heads your way, you’re easily able to tell if they’re a player or a manipulator.
The co-rulers of Scorpio are Pluto, the planet of transformation, and Mars, the warrior. If there’s a change you want to make in your life, now’s the time to start working towards it. This time of year has enormous potential for transformation. You’re in sync with your deepest desires and hopes, as well as your fear and hurt. It’s motivating you to make the necessary changes to get what you want and eliminate anything, or anyone, that’s causing you harm—whether it’s the physical, financial, or emotional kind. Your deepest relationships are being further secured now, and the new ones you forge are starting strong. You’re turning your interests into your passions, and you’re cutting off shitty things (or people) that don’t deserve a place in your life.
Use this time of year to get in touch with your heart. Find who or what makes you eager to succeed. Analyze your past, draw positive lessons from negative experiences, and allow the positive experiences to further motivate you. Watch out for the pitfalls of Scorpio season—anxiety that turns into paranoia, adopting a distrustful nature, or holding onto deep feelings of rage or resentment. Trust your gut, and know the difference between intuition and anxiety. This is a time of intense emotional labor, but once you emerge from the other side of Scorpio season, you and your life could be transformed in the best way possible.
Read your Sun/Rising sign horoscope for Scorpio season 2024:
Aries
The next month will find you unearthing some of your deepest emotions. That includes positive emotions like passion, creativity, and love, but it'll also make it easy to hyper-fixate on your more negative feelings like jealousy, rage, or resentment. This is especially true when it comes to your relationships.
If things between you and your partner are in a good place, the amplified love and affection can strengthen your relationship a ton. But if you’re in an unbalanced, unhealthy, or toxic partnership, all of your hurt and anger is coming out now. There’s an old Chinese idiom that translates to “Fire cannot be wrapped up in paper.” Remember that. No matter how you’re feeling, you need to let it out.
Taurus
Scorpio season = cuffing season for your sign, and all of your focus is on your “B” relationships right now—your bestie, your boo, your business partners, and also the people you have beef with. The new connections you form now are sure to be strong, with longevity. And the existing relationships you focus on now will become deeper and more secure. It’s a great time to make nice with an enemy of yours—you don’t have to be friends with them, but compromising is much easier during this time, so you can part ways amicably.
Gemini
There is very little time for fun and games this Scorpio season, Gemini. Right now, you’re meant to be serious, productive, and practical. There are a few messy places in your life that you really need to fix, whether it’s in your social life, your work life, or your health. Now is a phenomenal time to clean up your act. This is also one of the best times of year to quit smoking, drinking, or any other vices. All of the healthy habits you set right now, like getting active, or eating healthy, will stick around for a very long time, too.
Cancer
Scorpio season is activating your chart’s zone of romance, sex, and fun, so you’re having a grand time! Sex is waaaaay more hot right now, and you’re performing much better. Romance feels more meaningful and lovely, too. Flings and hookups aren’t usually very “Scorpio season” vibes, but you’re having a great time with both—the only caveat is that you’re much more likely to catch feelings for someone you just wanted to have a quickie with. The more love you spread this Scorpio season, the more you’ll get in return.
Leo
You’re feeling way more introverted, and life outside of the house might as well not exist right now. Expect to take several trips down memory lane this Scorpio season. You’re feeling nostalgic, spending way more time with your family, and plenty of themes or people from your past are relevant again. It’s easy to freeze up, start wallowing, and get consumed by negative feelings and memories, but look at it this way: you’re just being reminded of how far you’ve come. Think of the toxic relationships you lived through, and the awful experiences you survived. I want you to realize that you’re pretty badass for getting through all of that! Once you make peace with your past, you’ll be able to fully embrace the present and focus way more on your future.
Virgo
This is a great time for learning more about the world around you. Throughout this next month, you’re going on tons of adventures, taking in new people, places, and things, and making plenty of new connections. Scorpio season is also helping you strengthen and secure your existing relationships. It’s encouraging you to tap into your emotional side, and you’re more open to sharing your feelings and embracing the feelings of others. Your intuition is very strong right now, giving you a great ability to read other people, but your propensity to worry is causing a bit of trouble. You might feel paranoid and afraid to open up to anyone. Remain aware of the difference between anxiety and intuition, and you’ll be fine.
Libra
Okay Libra, it’s time to get serious. Now that your birthday season is over, there’s not a great deal of newness coming your way—life is going back to normal. This is a time when you’ll be working more, but other than that, there’s very little action happening. Instead, you’re doing a lot of thinking and reflecting. You’re realizing that you’ve made some investments that aren’t really paying off. This could be a financial investment, sure, but it could also be an emotional one. If you’re pouring yourself into something or someone who’s giving you nothing back, this is your sign that it’s time to back away from that. Instead, lean into the investments that are working, and you’ll be far more successful.
Scorpio
Happy birthday! The stars are vibing wonderfully with you right now, and they’ll propel you into the next year of your life with your best foot forward. Who do you want to be? What do you want to do with your life? What kinds of relationships do you want to have? At the top of Scorpio season, I want you to reflect on those questions, and then set some goals. Then I want you to take some initiative and start working towards those goals. The jobs, projects, and relationships you start now promise to have longevity and tons of significance!
Sagittarius
This is one of the loneliest times of year for you, Sagittarius. The stars want you to stop and take some time to reflect on your past. You move through life at breakneck speeds, in constant motion, working to achieve goals and earn tons of success—but you also like to run from your problems, too. Toxic relationships, awful experiences, and bad past behavior are all things that you don’t want to acknowledge, but right now, you have to. If you don’t, it’ll continue to hold you back and weigh you down, whether you want it to or not. Exes are coming back around, and old jobs and dead-end projects are becoming relevant again too. Don’t keep running from them! Deal with it, and you’ll be able to actually move on. That way, you can start Sagittarius season completely baggage-free.
Capricorn
Scorpio season is one of the most social times of year for you, but, like a Scorpio, you’re veeeery particular about who you let into your circle. This is a phenomenal time for networking and making acquaintances, but, also like a Scorpio, you’re not super interested in superficial, casual relationships. Instead of spending all month being a misanthropist, understand that a real friendship has to start with a casual connection. Embrace these new acquaintances. Or, if you don’t want to do that, at least be congenial with all of them. You never know, you might run into your next lifelong bestie. You just have to give these people a chance, because the friendships you form now promise to have tons of significance in your life.
Aquarius
All eyes are on you this Scorpio season, especially at work! To put it simply, you should really work your ass off this month. Your boss, and your boss’ boss, are keeping a close eye on you, and if they see you doing your best, they’ll take note of it. But they’re also definitely going to notice when you fumble the ball or misstep through something, and they won’t be too kind if they need to reprimand you. Great work now = greater rewards in the future.
Pisces
If you have the chance to take a class, try a new activity, or take a trip—even if it’s for work—I highly suggest you go for it. For your sign, Scorpio season wants you to broaden your horizons and open your mind. This season is urging you to connect with all sorts of people, even the ones that aren’t your type, because you can learn tons about the world around you with them. It’s a great time to study something you're passionate about, too, because Scorpio season’s intense vibes will allow you to get completely engrossed in the material and become a true master of your craft. Every day you’re learning something new, and by the end of the month you’ll find you’re a much wiser, well-rounded individual than before.
