Dates: October 23 - November 21
Quality: Fixed
Element: Water
Planet: Mars and Pluto
We are in the heart of autumn, and as the leaves fall from the trees, macerate on the ground and begin the process of rotting to give life to that which will come. Nature gives in to the transformative power symbolized by the new Solar Cycle and the sun sign Scorpio. A necessary phase to make room for change, which often is not easy.

Scorpio is known to be a complicated zodiac sign, psychologically and emotionally. Scorpios are also often known for being very empathetic and able to experience intense and deep emotions. The feeling of needing to relate to others born under the Libra sign must now materialize under the Scorpio sign. And as a fixed sign, the materialization of what we were working on will help stabilize and neutralize these past feelings.
The Symbol of the Scorpion
Scorpio energy brings us lust, excitement, and intensity. Scorpios are reputed for lustful, passionate sex filled with desire. This is quite different from the procreative and joyful sex that Taurus, another fixed sign, is known for.
Attributes of the Scorpio sign
People born in the heart of Autumn are quite intuitive and astute. They do not readily accept explanations imposed from the outside. They are suspicious and search for their own truth. Scorpios are often nonconformists, and if not revolutionaries, they certainly like to push the boundaries. They have a surprising way of looking at reality, observing it from different points of view, highlighting unprecedented aspects, and bringing a unique perspective.
Scorpios have a clear and analytical mind because they combine rationality with instinct and logic with intuition. This could make for dangerous opponents, but when used wisely, the outcome will surely be a sensational success. The forces at play in this phase are naturally aggressive, so be mindful of that throughout the Scorpio season.
Utilize the energy of this Scorpio Season
Scorpio season brings us strong energy, including creative, profound, and intense energy. If Scorpios are ready to revolt, they will let the entire world know, and no one will stand in their way. You may feel this aggressive energy more powerful now due to being in Scorpio season, and you will want to channel it into something you’ve wanted for a while. Scorpios can release incredible potential and get ish done! They are tenacious, strong, resilient people and can overcome difficulties like no other sign in the Zodiac.
It's not easy to deal with a Scorpio, but it's completely worth it. Scorpios are the sincerest friends, outspoken and without any hypocrisy. Their advice is worth gold, their judgments are accurate, and their intuition seems magical. Scorpios also know when to stay close to you when you have problems, as they are not afraid of your suffering, and they do not disappear in the face of pain.
Shadow side of Scorpios
Of course, there are always shadow aspects of Zodiac signs, and Scorpio doesn’t lack those aspects. Scorpios can be jealous and almost possessive to the point of control. So something to be aware of throughout the Scorpio season. Scorpios are persistent and never give up. When faced with a refusal, if it's worth it, they insist until they get what they want. They are also complicated, it is true, because of all the emotions they carry, if not channeled correctly, corrosive irony, vitriolic jokes, and razor-sharp looks. Beware!
Take advantage of Scorpio Season
Scorpio season is a time to focus on our relationships and how we can make them more fulfilling. We can use this Scorpio energy to work on ourselves and stabilize our emotions. If you're in a relationship, this is a great time to remember that communication is vital with any sign, but especially with Scorpios. They are passionate and intense, so it's important to be understanding and patient with them. How are you going to use the Scorpio’s energy during the Scorpio season? Let me know in the comments!
