What's happening in Scorpio Season?

Transformation from within ~ How to harness the power of Scorpio season

22nd October: PDT | EDT | 23rd October: BST   

As the sun moves into Scorpio, we welcome the darker part of the year and the chance to look within. This season provides us with an opportunity to embrace the magic of internal alchemy to transform our outer world. Are you ready to step into your personal power with determination and focus? Let’s explore Scorpio season together…

Ruled by the warrior planet Mars in ancient astrology, and by planet of transformation Pluto in modern astrology, Scorpio carries a potent energy of deep self acceptance and a powerful sense of renewal. This sign reminds us to embrace ourselves as multi-faceted beings, carrying both light and shadow, and to meet this with honesty and compassion, welcoming each part of who we are.

As we explore our inner world and transformation calls, Scorpio season offers the powerful momentum to create shifts within that can ripple throughout our external landscape. This alchemical process takes us on our own soul journey. 

Fertile, healing ground…

Just after we begin Scorpio season, five planets activate a grand water trine. This astrological downpour nourishes fertile, healing ground for listening to our intuition, taking on creative endeavours and emotional exploration. Staying flexible will serve us well this season whilst also grounding ourselves with a steady anchor amidst the ebb and flow.

How to harness this season’s energy:

• Deepen your spiritual connection: Scorpio season is rich with mystery and symbolism. Astrology, crystals, or oracle cards may call to you now. Perhaps draw a spread, visit a sacred place, or simply spend time in reflection; whatever helps you feel connected. For those who celebrate it – Samhain on 31st/ 1st November is a beautiful opportunity to honour ancestors and the turning of the wheel.  

• Invite transformation: Remember, life is always moving and evolving. Loosen your grip on control and allow change to flow through you.

• Step into your innate magick: This is a moment to recharge your sense of self. When do you feel your most authentic and able to stand in your truth? Try journaling about this if it feels good.

• Work with the New Moon in Scorpio: Ready to deep dive some Scorpionic energy? Sit with the new moon in Scorpio, consider the transformation you have seen over previous months and the change you’d like to invite in. Let your intuition speak.

Slowing down

During part of Scorpio season, we will experience a Mercury retrograde, highlighting the need to slow down, review and revise certain areas of life. We have an opportunity here to feel into any change that is happening in a deep and meaningful way. Let Mercury retrograde highlight your own power in how you can adapt and be flexible this season.
