We are currently in spooky season! Scorpio season marks a time when the veil between this physical world and the spiritual realm is considered to be the thinnest. This highlights why Halloween and Day of the Dead fall within Scorpio season. Learn about what you can expect for Scorpio season below.
Scorpio Background
Scorpio is the eighth sign in the astrological zodiac wheel. The eighth house is associated with transformation, other people’s resources, taxes, death, and sex. A scorpion is the symbol of this sign, known for its ability to strategically sting when attacked. Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto, the darkest planet in our solar system. As a result, this sign is associated with death, the afterlife, and rebirth.
Scorpio is a water sign that is feminine in expression. Their expression is more internalized and receptive, making the depths of their inner world expansive. It is an intuitive sign that feels things at a deeper capacity than other signs. This is why Scorpios value deep intimacy over superficial relationships.
In terms of modality, Scorpio is fixed in energy. Fixed signs are known to be rigid in their ways but have incredible willpower to concentrate on their goals. As fixed water signs, Scorpios can hold on to emotions and struggle to let go, even at their own detriment.
Scorpio rules the sex organs, colon, groin area, and rectum. It is important to pay attention to these areas of your body, especially if you’ve been having ongoing health issues. This might be the time to get a colonoscopy or further examine your reproductive health.
Scorpio Characteristics
Intuition
Notable Scorpio traits are their incredibly intuitive nature, capacity to constantly transform, and ability to embrace their shadow side. Scorpios have a deep connection to the psyche because of their desire to explore what’s hidden. They are typically curious about anything taboo or buried from the mainstream societal standards. This trait allows Scorpios to embrace the good, bad, and ugly aspects of society. As a result, they are comfortable with their shadow side and are easily able to see the hidden parts of other people’s personalities. Since Scorpios dig deeper into the subconscious and see beyond the surface, they are considered to be human lie detectors.
Shadow-Self
Scorpios can experience true self-love by embracing their shadow side and fully accepting themselves. If not cautious, however, their ability to see other people’s shadows can be misused to manipulate others emotionally. As a form of protection from harm, Scorpios can be very calculated in their actions. Without healthy regulation, their deep connection with the psyche can result in anxiety and paranoia. This anxiety can result in a lack of trust in others, even those close to them.
Scorpio season calls the collective to honor the shadow parts of themselves by bringing them to the surface and showering them with love. Tap into the depths of your psyche and embrace the power of your intuition.
Transformation
Transformation is also an important trait that you should embrace this Scorpio season. It is an important part of Scorpio energy due to Pluto’s ability for rebirth. Even though Scorpio is a fixed sign, regeneration is an important part of their identity. They are constantly embracing a newer version of themselves by shedding old parts that no longer serve them. Whether it’s emotional, mental, physical, psychological, spiritual, or sexual transformation, this is a sign that cannot stay stagnant. However, due to its fixed nature, Scorpio can struggle with releasing control and accepting necessary change. This is why they get a bad reputation for being very calculated and controlling. It is important to accept that change is inevitable and release what is beyond your control this Scorpio season.
Power
Scorpios are also known to have a strong magnetic energy due to their powerful aura. Their silent presence is strong enough to draw attention, as Pluto is the planet of power. A big lesson for Scorpios is embracing that there is power in releasing control, learning to trust, and confronting the depths of their emotions. They also have the power to transform through extremely traumatic experiences and become a phoenix after rising from the ashes.
For this Scorpio season, what is something beyond your control that needs to be released? What are some shadow aspects of yourself that you are afraid to confront, and why? Are there some things you’ve emotionally repressed that need to be addressed? What makes you feel powerful?
Scorpio Astrological Transits
Taurus Full Moon
This Scorpio season, important transits to consider are the Taurus full moon, Mercury going retrograde, and a Scorpio new moon. The Taurus full moon occurred on November 5. Taurus is associated with the second house of values and resources. As the opposite sign of Scorpio, Taurus is an earth sign that has to do with your personal material resources. Since full moons deal with purging, the Taurus full moon was about releasing your limiting beliefs regarding financial security.
Can you embody the energy of abundance despite your current financial limitations? How can you balance emotional and financial security? Are you willing to trust that the universe will provide the resources needed to attain your dream life?
Mercury Retrograde
Mercury retrograde started on November 9 and ends on the 29. This planet deals with travel and your thought process. During this period, it is not advised to embark on new ventures since internal reflection is prioritized. You should be mindful of how you communicate with others and double-check any contracts or travel documentation during this time.
Mercury will initially be in Sagittarius during the retrograde period. While in Sagittarius, Mercury can highlight reflection on ways to free your mind from limiting thought processes and embrace mental expansion. Later during this retrograde, Mercury will transit into the sign of Scorpio. This can highlight reflection on overthinking patterns, anxiety, and paranoia. It is a time to transmute the state of your mind from your greatest enemy into your biggest asset.
Scorpio New Moon
Another important transit is the new moon in Scorpio that will occur on November 20. New moons signal new beginnings. The moon is “fallen’ in Scorpio, meaning it is in a weakened state in this energy. Therefore, this new moon is a time for the collective to sit with any discomfort that may come by embracing the depths of their emotions. Working through uncomfortable feelings, no matter how difficult, will empower you emotionally instead of becoming enslaved by your emotions.
Think about what is needed for you to embrace the depths of your emotional world. What prevents you from being vulnerable with yourself and trusting others emotionally? Are there specific things that make you feel emotionally grounded? Keep all these things in mind to maximize the energy of Scorpio season. Happy Scorpio season N Crowd!
