Scorpio Season 🦂 2023

Oct 23 – Nov 22, 2023

Your sun sign is just one planet in your star soup. Curious about the rest? Contact me for a natal chart reading.

Welcome, weary travelers, welcome to my little cave of starry wisdom.

Pelvis-deep in the zodiac wheel, creeping now into Scorpio’s haunted house. Scorpio is a black widow; a secret; a wolf howling in the cold; a hidden lair. She is Kali, Lilith, Baba Yaga. See her slinking at midnight, burning with desire, hungry for your soul yet fiercely protective of her own; see her intellect, sharp as a moonless night, psychoanalyzing all who cross her path.

Also in Scorpio at this time: Mars (Oct 11-Nov 24) & Mercury (Oct 21-Nov 9).

This is a dark and serious time. Shit is about to get real, and we need strength and self-discipline. Yes it’s emotional, yes it’s messy, yes it’s chaotic, but only sometimes. Scorpio is also incredibly clarifying and pragmatic after the storm clouds clear. When the mind settles, we take a closer look at how we expend our energy: sexual, physical, emotional, mental, all of it. Where can we tighten boundaries to prevent energy seeps? How can we be more self-contained, more powerful?

Scorpio lives in svadhisthana, the sacral chakra. The sacral chakra is emotional and creative in nature. When we transition from Scorpio to Sagittarius, we will ascend from the sacral chakra to the fiery solar plexus chakra, locus of heat and action and impulse.

The flame of Sagittarius arrives on the ashes of Scorpio. The scorpion guides us through netherworld caverns deep in the psyche, holding aloft her flickering magical orb so we can sidestep all the skeletons grasping at our ankles. She takes us here not to cause pain, but because answers lie here in deadly silence, keys at the bottom of a poison lake. We need to experience Scorpio’s chilling depths before we can fly to the centaur’s skies.

Scorpio Season is when we reclaim our power and pause the exhausting balancing act of Libra. Scorpio is “do or die.” Invite tectonic change into your life. Trust your gut. Trust in the witch rising confidently from summer slumber, awakening in your spinal cord. Polish your broomstick, oil the cauldron, light the sacred fire.

Oct 24: Sun trine Saturn Retrograde in Pisces. Productive, clearheaded, focused.

Oct 28: Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus + Mars & Mercury in Scorpio opposite Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus. This one radiates scorpionic intensity, tread with caution. Roadblocks and obstacles abound. Headaches, exhaustion, low energy, and/or sickness likely.

Nov 2: Sun opposite Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus. Feeling unlucky and disappointed; things are just not going our way. Best antidote is to manage expectations and prep for a low vibe day.

Nov 5: Quarter Moon in Leo 🦁🌗

Nov 13: New Moon in Scorpio + Sun opposite Uranus Retrograde in Taurus. Social dysfunction. Don’t count on anything going to plan; unusual or unexpected outcomes. Body rhythms thrown off. Chaos, destruction, overwhelm; roughness and intensity.

Nov 17: Sun trine Neptune Retrograde in Pisces + Sun conjunct Mars in Scorpio + Mars trine Neptune Rx. Ocean vibes, moving fluidly through timespace. Peaceful in a mysterious way; sweet relief. Mars brings a feeling of accomplishment. Body and mind tired yet pleased. Powering through, maximum exertion. Neptune may bring strange, inexplicable phenomena or cranky vibes.
