Scorpio Season begins on October 23rd and ends when the Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22nd. Mercury and Mars are also in the water sign during most of this period, so we will have those three bodies in Scorpio until November 9th.

With Mercury and Mars accompanying the Sun in Scorpio, the themes of this sign are magnified. Scorpio is a sign of introspection. By embracing Scorpio, we can see deeply into the heart of things, and at our best, courageously root out the truth.

Scorpio energy encourages us to investigate our deepest fears. Meanwhile, the sign’s co-rulers, Pluto and Mars, are also just finishing up a square to each other, magnifying the intensity of our focus on the shadow realm. To top it off, Mars enters its own sign of Scorpio as well (the day before Samhain), and it will be conjunct Thursday’s New Moon, pulling our attention deeper into Scorpio territory. Psychic protection is important now, as our openness and sensitivity are running high. But it is also a fruitful time to receive omens and to notice synchronicities. The veil is thin throughout the entire second half of fall. Those in the spirit realm are more able to communicate with us than at other times. This Sunday through Thursday are powerful days to do ritual and ancestral work.
