Following the sun’s transit through Libra, which emphasizes our one-on-one bonds and desires to bring more balance and beauty into the world, Scorpio season signals that autumn is in full swing.
The delightfully ethereal, spooky time is ideal for going all out on a memorable Halloween costume. It’s also a cold, dark, and increasingly sleepy season. But the sun’s transit through Scorpio isn’t just about binge-watching your favorite creepy movies and slurping up autumn-spiced drinks.
It’s also a time to assess your most intimate bonds, embrace transformation (even if it scares you), and float in the depths of your most complex and intense emotions. After all, it will include the year’s final eclipse, which can cause exciting, emotionally charged changes in your relationships, including your relationship with yourself and your values.
Here’s everything you need to know about Scorpio season in general, and especially for 2023.
When Does Scorpio Season Start?
The sun is in the Scorpion sign from approximately October 22-23 to November 21-22 each year. Scorpio season runs from October 23 to November 22 this year (in US time zones).
The Overall Vibe of Scorpio Season
Scorpio’s two rulers, go-getter Mars, the planet of action, energy, and sex, and Pluto, the planet of power, transformation, and the underworld, may provide some insight into how the sign functions in astrology and colors from mid-October to mid-November. Scorpio, on the other hand, isn’t satisfied with the surface of things, preferring to get to the heart of the matter and connect with others spiritually and emotionally. Scorpio is inherently comfortable with the shadow side of life and sexuality, but it is also extremely magnetic and intense. Scorpios can easily command a room but will not open up to just anyone, keeping their cards close to their vest.
It’s also worth noting that, as the fixed water sign, Scorpios can be stubborn. Once they’ve decided on a path, it can be extremely difficult for them to change their minds. Scorpios, who are associated with the eighth house of emotional bonds, joint resources, and sex, are at ease discussing topics that other signs avoid or find taboo.
All of this is to say that while the sun is in Scorpio, we are all encouraged to reflect on — and, ideally, deepen — our most intimate relationships. This emotionally charged, often spiritually satisfying time of year supports your ability to get closer to someone you love, be vulnerable, build trust, and venture into intimidatingly uncharted waters — perhaps related to investing or going into business with one another.
Scorpio season, fueled by competitive Mars and commanding Pluto, also asks us to consider the power we have in our lives and what we’re willing to do to keep it — or gain more.
Scorpio Season: What to Expect in 2023
Although the sun moves through Scorpio every year, the moon and other planets each have their own unique patterns in the sky, creating a unique astrological picture that changes from year to year. Here’s what’s happening astrologically in Scorpio in 2023.
On October 28, just a few days after Scorpio season begins, we’ll witness the year’s final eclipse — a lunar eclipse and full moon in Taurus. This dramatic, emotional moment will most likely mark the conclusion of an ongoing story that began for you in 2021. Find where Taurus — specifically 5 degrees of the fixed earth sign — falls on your birth chart to get a sense of how it will affect you.
Saturn has been retrograde in the dreamy mutable water sign of Pisces since June 17, but it will move forward on November 4, encouraging you to pursue personal growth, wisdom, and maturity in an external way once more. This could mean volunteering to take on more responsibility at work or being willing to put in more effort to strengthen your relationship, putting into practice whatever you’ve learned from self-reflection on the subject since the summer.
The new moon in the fixed water sign falls on November 13, providing an opportunity to begin new chapters in your most intimate relationships, sex life, joint financial endeavors, and inner transformation.
This Scorpio season, here’s what each sign can expect. Feel free to read the following based on your astrological sign and/or rising sign as well.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Libra season was all about concentrating on your closest friendships, relationships, and possibly professional partnerships. You were observing how you were presenting yourself to your loved ones — and how they were presenting themselves to you. But, as the sun moves through Scorpio and your eighth house of emotional bonds, you’ll be thinking about what you need to feel more at ease and nurture intimacy within your closest relationships. This is also an important time to work on joint resource projects, such as investments or business proposals.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
While the sun transits Scorpio, the confident sun zips through your seventh house of partnership, emphasizing one-on-one relationships — whether romantic, platonic, or even professional. It could be that you and your honey are about to embark on a new chapter in your relationship, or that you are working on a business proposal with a friend or colleague. In either case, working together will make you feel more prepared and confident in achieving your goals.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Because of the sun’s transit through your sixth house, Scorpio season usually focuses your attention on daily tasks and your wellness routine. While it may appear mundane at first, you will be given the green light to be especially productive in your day-to-day hustle. Consider ticking off annual health exams or signing up for a new yoga studio membership. Caring for yourself in this manner can be both productive and calming.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Scorpio season is all about embracing spontaneity, connecting with your inner child, and paying attention to your artistic impulses for you, Cancer. Because of the confident sun’s transit through your fifth house of romance and self-expression, you may be especially creative and drawn to playful pastimes. Whatever is on your mind right now, you’ll be inspired to share it in a carefree, lighthearted manner. Yes, now is the time to step up your flirting game.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
With the confident sun, your ruler, moving through your fourth house of home life, Scorpio season focuses your attention on your inner life and closest relationships. Make more time to connect with your loved ones through your favorite seasonal activities (such as baking a batch of your favorite baked goods or taking a restful, restorative Yin yoga class together). Whatever you choose, slowing down with the people you care about the most will do wonders for your heart and mind.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Expect your social life to be busier than usual, Virgo. While the confident sun transits Scorpio, it illuminates your third house of communication, nudging you to say “yes” to all invitations. You’ll want to make more plans with friends, colleagues, and family because there are so many invitations to everything from happy hours to weekend getaways. You might also be craving more mental stimulation than usual (yes, really!), so make it a point to read and watch books and movies you’ve been meaning to see, and then compare notes with your inner circle.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Scorpio season focuses your attention on money and values, with your ruler, the confident sun, transiting your second house of income. You’ve been in the spotlight recently as a result of the sun transiting your sign during Libra season, and now you can apply what you’ve learned over the last four weeks to increase your cash flow. Request a better rate on a project you’re excited about, or schedule a meeting with a higher-up to discuss a potential raise. Recognizing your worth now can help you get the payoff you’ve been hoping for.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Scorpio, welcome to your season! With the sun in your first house of self, you’re reimagining and strengthening your personal brand — how you present yourself and pursuing the passion projects that keep you awake at night because you’re so eager to see them through. This time of year is especially conducive to making moves that will allow you to make an impression. Your confidence is also high, so this could be an excellent time to say exactly what you want — and then manifest it into your new reality.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Because the confident sun is moving through your 12th house of spirituality and dreams, Scorpio season can be a little snoozy for you, Sag. You’re less interested in the outside world and typical globetrotting adventures and more drawn to spiritual pursuits such as meditation and mindfulness. Rest and restoration are critical right now, so schedule more alone time than usual. Making time for more downtime prepares you for bigger gains once your season begins.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
While you may have been even more focused than usual during Libra season on all of the tasks that could lead to professional recognition, Scorpio season focuses your attention on team projects because the confident sun is moving through your 11th house of networking and friendship. You can more easily join forces with others during this time to make a shared vision a reality. Collaboration also makes you feel more supported, connected, and seen by your friends and colleagues.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Sure, Aquarius, you like to shake things up, but as a fixed sign, you’re also a creature of habit. And, while Libra season may inspire you to step outside of your comfort zone more than usual, Scorpio season may see you wanting to make a professional impression. This is because the confident sun will be transiting your 10th house of career and public image, boosting your confidence in stepping into the spotlight and leading the charge to earn well-deserved recognition from higher-ups. Nothing will stand in your way if you are clear about what you want to achieve.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Scorpio season highlights your desire to break free from the mundane, Pisces. Because the confident sun will be transiting your ninth house of adventure and higher learning, any opportunity to broaden your horizons will be extremely rewarding. Now is your chance to take a long-distance trip, enroll in a cooking class that will introduce you to flavors you’ve never tried before, or hone your skill set in order to advance your career. Allow your creative mind to run wild, and you’ll be well on your way to making the most of the season.
