Scorpio season (October 22 to November 20) initiates us into a transformative journey that will develop over the next few months. Mars and Pluto clash all month long, functioning as the revealers of deep-seated feelings, desires, and passionate ambitions. To be more aware of this subconscious activity, pay attention to the emotions and sensations that arrive closer to November 3. The Mars-Pluto clash reaches its climax now, bringing intensity to our actions and interactions.
This season’s new moon in Scorpio, on November 1, brings the perfect recipe to set lofty goals for yourself. This energy combination is ideal for making bold changes you would normally shy away from, with the long-term capability of success. There will not be a fortunate new moon like this one for some time. Today or tonight, make sure to take a moment to communicate your new-found desires to the universe! Backing your petitions with firm actions is crucial now, especially on November 15. Master teacher Saturn ends its retrograde on this day, rounding out a four-month period of goal and strategy revision that began at the end of June.
Chances are, you’re now clear on the direction you want to take—but that doesn’t mean there won’t be competition! After all, with money-oriented Venus entering diligent Capricorn on November 11, everyone’s fierce ambition will be turned up a notch. Future trends and 2025 directions crystalize now, and everyone wants a piece of the winning pie. How can you stand out from the competition within your industry?
The answers come quickly at the November 15 full moon in Taurus. This moon unleashes surprising revelations due to the yearly face-off between the sun and Uranus. This powerful lunation’s message ensures that you must stay open-minded and flexible to align with future trends. Pluto enters Aquarius for a twenty-year stay on November 19, meaning old formulas no longer work. As we head into Sagittarius season, one of the most expansive periods of 2024, it is time to get creative!

Aries
Your biggest celestial news is Mars (your planet) sitting across from Pluto all month long. This heralds a deep transformation that will develop over the next few months. By November 3, you might be rethinking how you balance your career workload with the demands of your personal life. This might also be the end of a fifteen-year journey of intense work and effort to succeed. Pay attention to the signs you notice on October 28, as they could bring an epiphany concerning this important shift—or alternatively, a monetary payout for a job well done.
Scorpio rules your intimacy sector, so this season could also bring serious conversations with either a romantic interest, a serious partner, or a close friend. You could be talking about deepening your commitment at this month’s powerful lunar events: the November 1 new moon or the November 15 full moon.
Taurus
Relationships of all kinds will be highlighted for you this season, Taurus. If you’re in a serious relationship, Venus traveling in your intimacy sector from October 22 to November 11 has you craving closeness. November 3 would be an ideal date to break your usual routine and plan a hot date with your darling. If you’re single or desire to take a connection to the next level, the November 1 new moon is ideal for setting the foundation of a new relationship. The more honest and straightforward you are now with what you want, the more successful this commitment will be in the long run.
Business affairs will also be front and center for you, with the November 3 epic clash between Mars and Pluto heralding a completely new way of approaching your career. You could be now approaching new avenues, opportunities, and strategies.
Gemini
This season, you get the best of both worlds, Gemini! On November 3, Venus travels through your relationship sector and connects with lucky Jupiter. This could be the beginning of either a romantic relationship or a business partnership. Whatever begins now for you has long-term potential, so treat it with intention. If this happens to be a romantic liaison, things will get hot and heavy real quick when Venus enters your zone of intimacy on November 11 for a three-week stay!
You will also be busy with work, however, as masterful Saturn is activated on October 28 and November 12, and as it wakes up from its long four-month retrograde on November 15. Today, sitting down to journal about the learnings that have transpired in your career could unleash major epiphanies concerning how you should move forward in this area of your life.
Cancer
You love Scorpio energy, but this year, it will feel more intense than normal. When driven Mars travels in Cancer for some weeks, you become fired up. Look out for important deals or agreements that needs negotiating toward the beginning of November. Pay attention to the details, especially if you’re dealing with authority or powerful people. If this is a romantic relationship, keep an eye on your desire for commitment around the November 1 new moon. Two weeks later, by the time the November 15 full moon arrives, you will for sure know where you stand.
A desire to travel might find you this season! However, due to Venus (October 22 to November 15) and Mercury (November 2 to November 21) traveling in your work sector all month, this might turn out to be a fantasy as it looks like work might be busy.
Leo
Relationships will play a key role for you this season, Leo. Scorpio rules your home sector, so spending time with or attending to family affairs will be one of your focuses. You might be beginning a new personal project around November 1. However, if you’re not careful with your time management, you could experience burnout by the November 15 full moon. Try striking a balance, and whenever in need, ask for help from your friends and collaborators who will be ready to step in.
Pay attention to the themes that come up for you this season around drive, ambition, and success as Mars prepares to enter Leo on November 3. You might now realize that the old ways of chasing your goals no longer work. The universe will provide a way for you to change them later on once Sagittarius season arrives.
Virgo
Scorpio season could be very positive for your career, Virgo! It looks like you will be working on a memo, offer, or report—and luckily, eloquent Mercury will be supporting your research and writing between October 22 and November 2. October 30, in particular, could bring an epiphany that gives birth to a brilliant idea, so don’t discard any flashes of insight, even if they seem half-baked or “too out there.”
A new client could also arrive this season with Saturn activating your partnership sector on October 28, November 12, and November 15, While there will be hard work involved, you’ll likely see how this partnership will push your progress on November 3, when Venus activates lucky Jupiter in the career and visibility sector of your chart.
Libra
Keep your cool, Libra. This season’s long and fiery clash between Mars and Pluto puts the focus on your career. How professional affairs impact your personal life will become visible either on October 22 or November 3. Now, you might have to be honest about how you feel, either with a boss, client, or collaborator. While there might not be an immediate solution, you can expect developments once Sagittarius season arrives.
Since Saturn – the planet of career and self-mastery – will be very active in your zone of work and wellness on October 28, November 12, and November 15, conversations about work/life balance become likely. The great news is that once Venus enters your sphere of home and family on November 11, you can expect sweet moments of rest and happiness with family, partner, or even roommates.
Scorpio
Happy solar return, Scorpio! This year, celebrating yourself is centered around the closing of a fifteen-year chapter. Pluto prepares for its twenty-year journey in individualistic Aquarius, on November 19, beginning a whole new chapter. This liminal space you will be floating in when the sun enters Scorpio on October 22 is about realizing what and who is accompanying you in this major transition into the future—and what is not!
This is when the epic clash between Mars and Pluto comes into play. This cosmic face-off is active all month, but peaks on November 3, inspiring a new sense of ambition within you. With you now hungrier for success, you will be inspired to ride the November 1 new moon wave and begin ambitious projects that promise to elevate your career status and visibility for years to come!
Sagittarius
Give yourself space to restore and reset, Sagittarius. Mercury and the sun will urge you to spend more time in solitude in preparation for the next solar season (also your birthday season!) Between October 22 and November 1, you could find yourself in a deeply thoughtful state, perhaps figuring out the answers to a puzzling question or situation. It could be that a monetary situation is coming to a head around November 3, asking you to choose between two different investment or expense paths.
Whenever in doubt, go for the option that makes you feel powerful and in control of your financial and living situation. In the end, as Saturn is activated in your zone of home and family on October 28, November 12, and November 15, you’re urged to make sure the foundations of your life are working up to speed.
Capricorn
It’s not your birthday yet—but for you, this Scorpio season is still a time of celebration! Pluto, the planet of transformation, is ending its fifteen-year journey in Capricorn on November 19. Around that time, looking back at how you’ve grown and personally evolved since 2008 could inspire a deep sense of reflection and gratitude for your journey. While there might be some loose ends to take care of around November 3, you’re moving toward the future feeling stronger and more accomplished due to the effort you’ve invested.
You might also feel more social than normal this season, with a total of three celestial events inspiring you to connect with others. You’ll feel this at the November 1 new moon, the November 15 full moon, and especially once socialite Venus enters Capricorn on November 11.
Aquarius
Don’t be surprised if you feel a sense of urgency as Scorpio season arrives. Pluto’s November 19 entrance to Aquarius invites the beginning of a twenty-year journey that involves coming into your power. What are your long-term goals and most cherished desires? Set intentions at the powerful November 1 new moon, and follow through with action over the following days, especially on November 3, when your ambition begins to soar to new heights!
Chances are, these goals are career-oriented since Scorpio activates the success and visibility sector of your chart. This is a time of the year when you can make the most progress. Mark your calendar for November 3, when lucky Jupiter activates Venus in the social sector of your chart, building your network. Friends and collaborators will be willing to show up and support you now through November 11.
Pisces
It’s time to roll up your sleeves, Pisces! Mercury and Venus will be activating your zone of career and public visibility, starting October 22 until November 1 and November 11, respectively. The effort you invest now will ensure future success once Sagittarius season arrives in late November and early December. The November 1 new moon, in particular, is the best time of the year to plan launches or begin laying down your strategies for success.
Saturn – the planet of responsibility and self-mastery – follows up on a similar tone! Since late June, the retrograde of the ringed planet has inspired you to revise your entire life, removing anything that stands in the way of materializing your goals. As the iconic ringed planet is activated on and around October 28, November 12, and November 15, it will send you messages about the work required to be done. These will be times to roll up your sleeves and show Saturn what you’re made of, Pisces!
