🦂 Welcome to Scorpio Season... and It's Going to Sting

A Time of Transformation

We had settled comfortably into autumn with Libra season and now the temperatures are dropping and the atmosphere is getting more austere. Here's an environment that suits the king of the season well: mystery, complexity, and turning inward will be on the agenda. 

It's especially introspection that's at the center of this season. Indeed, during the previous season, Libra's influences pushed us to think about how we could align with our desires. 

The astrological sign of Scorpio is used to questioning and changing direction, if not complete reversals, but now, its influences will extend to the entire zodiac. Everyone will see a cycle come to an end. Spoiler: it won't be fun 🫣! 

Few people appreciate when a page turns. However, if you manage to turn the page with enough finesse, the result could be stunning. In other words, the more you work on yourself, the more you question your desires, your needs, your abilities, etc., the more powerful the liberation that follows will be. A page is going to turn, but the next chapter will be epic 📖!

Questioning yourself can be overwhelming, but let's not forget that Scorpio is a sign that knows how to get through trials to come back stronger. You'll emerge from this period freer and more powerful. In tune with yourself.

Scorpio Season 2026: Between Transformations and Revelations

The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23 at 5:37 a.m. ET and stays there until November 22 at 2:23 a.m. ET. And it doesn't arrive alone: the very next day, Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio until November 13, while Venus, retrograde since October 3, backs up toward Libra. 🕵️‍♀️ So this 2026 season has a very Scorpio flavor: we're going back over what we thought was settled, words and relationships alike. And in the background, Mars in Leo is marching toward Jupiter for a high-energy finale in mid-November. Here are the key moments you don't want to miss:

• 🕵️ October 24: Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio: at 3:12 a.m. ET, the messenger of the gods makes a U-turn, and he does it in the sign of secrets. Until November 13, old files resurface, and so does everything left unsaid. Reread before you hit send, back up your data, and pick up unfinished business rather than starting something new. The night before, at 11:44 p.m. ET, the Sun meets Venus: a moment of clarity about what you really want from a relationship.
• 💕 October 25: Venus retrograde slips back into Libra: still moving backward, Venus leaves Scorpio, where she is in exile, and heads home. After all that intensity, it's time for questions of balance: who gives, who receives, and does it still feel fair?
• 🌕 October 26: Full Moon in Taurus: at 12:11 a.m. ET, this lunation shines a light on everything tied to security, money, the body, and pleasure. What keeps you grounded becomes obvious, and so does what weighs you down. The same day, the Sun squares Pluto (8:11 a.m. ET): watch out for power struggles, in love as well as at work.
• ⚠️ October 30: Mercury square Mars: at 1:20 p.m. ET, words fly fast and sting hard. If a message is burning a hole in your pocket, keep it in drafts until the next day.
• 🔍 November 4: the Sun meets Mercury: right in the middle of the retrograde (9:23 a.m. ET), a truth comes to the surface and puts everything else in perspective. The same day, Venus sextile Jupiter (5:30 a.m. ET) softens exchanges: one generous gesture can mend a lot.
• 🌑 November 9: New Moon in Scorpio: the season's real reset (2:02 a.m. ET). Intimacy, shared money, healing, letting go: set a clear intention about what you're ready to let die so you can be reborn. The next day, Venus sextile Mars (1:47 a.m. ET) gently rekindles desire.
• ✅ November 13: Mercury, then Venus, turn direct: Mercury gets moving again at 10:53 a.m. ET, followed by Venus at 7:27 p.m. ET, in Libra. Stalled projects can move forward, and postponed conversations can finally happen.
• 🔥 November 16: Mars meets Jupiter in Leo: at 1:24 a.m. ET, drive is at its peak, and so is daring. Perfect for launching a project close to your heart. But the Sun squaring Jupiter on the 18th (4:39 a.m. ET) and then Mars on the 19th (12:49 p.m. ET) is a reminder of a simple rule: don't mistake courage for excess.

✨ What's next? The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22 at 2:23 a.m. ET, with Mercury and Venus both direct again. Whatever you've reviewed, sorted out, and settled during Scorpio season will then be free to move forward without the weight of the past.

This season, more than ever, it's crucial to stay centered and exercise discernment. Scorpio's energies invite you to look beyond appearances and connect deeply with your true desires. Let yourself be guided by your intuition.

And Let's Not Forget Death

Death ☠️, now there's a subject that doesn't frighten Scorpios, accustomed as they are to rebirths, but also because it's right in the heart of their season that we celebrate the dead. During this period, more than ever, it's important to embrace this notion of death. 

If Scorpio has such a capacity for regeneration, it's because it looks the end in the face. Celebrating our deceased allows us to honor their memory, but also to unburden ourselves from the weight of the past. 

The work of introspection must also serve that purpose. Accept that something must end, show gratitude, and move on. With Scorpio, we don't do things halfway, we deconstruct to reconstruct, it's a creative energy that pushes us forward without being hindered by the past.

For a Successful Transformation: What to Do During Scorpio Season?

1. Choose Yourself

As we've seen, Scorpio season is a time of introspection and turning inward. So it's the ideal time to choose yourself and ask what you really want for yourself. This is especially important if you're not the type to act for yourself. But here, Scorpio's influences should encourage you to question yourself so you can elevate yourself and move toward a better version of yourself, so you can come back freer and stronger for those you love.

2. Be Sexy

We all know Scorpio is also the sign of passionate love, if not sexuality in its rawest form. With this sign's influences, you free yourself from your fears, but especially from your taboos, and reconnect with the sexiest part of yourself.

3. Listen to Your Intuition

Very intuitive, Scorpio is the one who listens to the little voice in their head, but also and especially their heart. At the crossroads, it's time to ask yourself which path will make your heart beat fastest, and if on top of that you feel it's the right path, it's all good! So don't hesitate to listen to yourself, but to really do it, even if sometimes you have to dare to say no when you don't feel it.

4. Purify Your Environment

And finally, what better way to accompany this great moment of regeneration and renewal than to purify your interior with White Sage. By freeing yourself from stagnant energies, you prepare yourself for the transformations that await you during Scorpio season.

The end of autumn will welcome Sagittarius energies. The period will be more focused on pleasure and joy of living, but to fully enjoy it, you must first mourn and free yourself from what weighs you down, which is why you need to actively work on receiving Scorpio season's influences.
