Your Horoscope for Scorpio Season 2023
Aries
You’re on fire, Aries! With your ruling planet — Mars — parked in the sign of Scorpio all season, you will be feeling ambitious and ready to chase your goals. Within your busy schedule, leave some room for personal work. Scorpio rules your eighth house of intimate relationships and transformation, asking you to look beneath the surface within your closest personal bonds. Growth doesn’t just happen around goals; it can appear in these connections, too.
You can also expect to see change and movement in your finances, as adjustments or conversation crop up around the October 28 full moon lunar eclipse. If a stream of income dries up now, another could open as soon as November 3 when the sun illuminates lucky Jupiter in your financial sector! You’ll be able to close Scorpio season on a high note when the Scorpio sun shines with masterful Pluto in your career on November 20, creating space for you to perform a power move. Are you ready to level up?
Taurus
Trust your process, Taurus. A powerful personal story that began back in April of 2022 is coming to an end to an end during the ultra-powerful October 28 full moon lunar eclipse. Going with the flow and finding balance in your key relationships will be the vibe right now. Take it slow! The days around November 3 are a bit tricky—a seemingly golden opportunity could come around as the bright sun activates Jupiter in your sign. But because Venus and Neptune can muddy the waters around what you really want out of the situation, it’s best to think things over before saying “yes.”
When you learn more around November 11 as Mars activates wild child Uranus in your sign, you might need to pivot. With this new information in hand, dare to break the rules and seek a new beginning between November 13 and November 15. A creative and big-picture new moon energy will be at your disposal, asking you to chase that big dream!
Gemini
Stay focused, Gemini. Driven Mars supercharges your work sector this season, meaning that you will most likely be very busy! For this reason, strive to save your energy around the October 28 full moon lunar eclipse, which triggers your sensitivities. Give yourself space to digest the new information that is now disclosed, and a week later make your move under Saturn’s November 4 epic awakening. From now on, you will be asked to step up to the plate and make your wildest dreams come true in the realm of career!
Starting on November 9, Mercury in Sagittarius will be assisting you in this process by putting you face-to-face with powerful allies. This would be a wonderful time to work with a mentor, coach, or anyone who can propel you to show your gifts to the world.
Cancer
Lucky you, Cancer. In a season full of meaningful changes for many zodiac signs, you’re feeling the support from the cosmic forces at play right now. After all, Scorpio’s watery energy is one you understand and navigate quite well. One of your biggest boosts this season comes as Venus enters Libra on November 8. Take it as an invitation to embrace a change in the vibe of this part of your life by removing unwanted energies as well as material possessions. A lucky day to perform this energetic “clean-up” arrives with the new moon on November 13 for a clean sweep.
At month’s end, the travel bug might hit you between November 17 and November 20. A total of three planets (Mars, Neptune, and the sun) link up to have you dreaming of having fun in faraway lands. You might decide to grab your bestie or partner and set off on an unforgettable journey, even if it’s just a road trip to explore somewhere you’ve never been locally.
Leo
Your sign is ruled by the sun, Leo, which is doing big things this Scorpio season! A piece of news may come up at work or for your business under the full moon lunar eclipse on October 28. If you have to make a decision, go for the option that will give you more creative freedom and room to breathe. However, you might want to wait to make a final call until November 3, which is one of the luckiest days for you in the entire year. Fortunately, Jupiter is super-charged in your career sector now, inspiring you to act and think big!
The last few days of Scorpio season will ask you to focus on decluttering your abode to align with the current energies of the season. Perform this “fall cleaning” between November 18 and November 20, which is when the sun activates the renewal energy of Pluto for your home and space.
Virgo
Scorpio season is bringing a lot of movement to your personal life, Virgo. Since June 17, retrograde Saturn moved you to get clear on the intentions you’re setting within your closest connections. Now, as Saturn goes direct on November 4, you are being asked to act on that newfound clarity — whether they are romantic, platonic, or professional.
Luckily, you get a boost from several planets in your court! First, the Scorpio sun will be giving you the gift of gab all season. Secondly, Venus entering Libra on November 8 will soften your approach in matters of the heart, as well as any financial dealings you need to make, taking the edge off some hard conversations. And if that wasn’t enough celestial help at your disposal, messenger Mercury entering Sagittarius on November 9 helps you to have heartfelt conversations with your family, partner, or roommates. If there’s a conversation you’ve been waiting have, it might be time to do so!
Libra
Are you ready to seek transformation, Libra? The full moon lunar eclipse on October 28 might bring the need to have a serious conversation (most likely about money), with your partner or someone close to you. While it might be hard to be direct, remember that this is part of an eighteen-month journey in which the cosmos inspires you to embrace a more aligned path. You deserve clarity!
Luckily, lover Venus enters your sign on November 8, bringing a huge helping hand your way. If you’re single and looking, work on that dating profile or slide into those DMs on the exact night of the November 13 new moon. This lunation is bound to reawaken your desire for intimacy. If you’re already partnered, Scorpio’s sexy vibes are ideal for trying new things and getting spicy in the bedroom. Feeling tuned into more business than pleasure? This is a wonderful time to create a new budget that you can stick to for the next six months that reflects your values.
Scorpio
This is your season, Scorpio, and it will feel like a return of your inner power! Between October 23 and November 9, a total of three planets will be in your sign, offering you vitality, eloquence, and drive. Expect some movement in your intimate connections around the full moon lunar eclipse on October 28, which could bring the end of a story (or relationship) that began back in April of 2022.
Even if a door closes now, look for a brand-new beginning on November 13. Make sure to set some intentions that can be developed over the next six months, as this is one of this year’s most the most fortunate new moons for you! You can close your season riding a wave of creative energy between November 15 and November 22 when the sun in your sign links with Neptune and Pluto, creating the perfect setting for your work to be showcased and appreciated by many. Are you ready for the spotlight?
Sagittarius
Stay flexible, Sagittarius. The effects of the ultra-powerful full moon lunar eclipse on October 28 could mean changes to your workload. Luckily, this could be the end of having to experience constant schedule changes in your routine—instead, think of this as an opportunity to shine. Another big celestial event arrives on November 4 as Saturn goes direct in your home sector. This awakening of the planet of responsibility will most likely make life at home and with family easier than it has been since June 17.
Starting November 9, Mercury enters your sign, heralding three weeks of high-vibe creativity and communication for you! It’s a perfect time to tackle creative projects on the backburner, just pace yourself to avoid that dreaded burn out. Harness this energy by getting in touch with people who, like you, ask the biggest questions about life and the universe. If you’re looking for a job, this is also a fortunate time to apply, as the cosmic messenger will help you find the right words you now need to stand out from the crowd.
