When sweater weather is in full swing, brightly hued leaves drift through the air, the nights are getting darker, longer and brisker and an enchanting, mystical tone abounds, it’s clear that Scorpio season is here. This season bolsters your ability to laser-focus on your aspirations, heightens the desire to connect with others on a more intimate level and inspires you to perhaps play your cards close to the vest while also uncovering secrets and investigating everyday mysteries. This is the effect of the sun’s trip through the eighth sign of the zodiac, symbolized by the Scorpion. Scorpio season happens annually from mid-October to mid-November.
Ready to start your week on a positive note? Well, you’ll need to begin by considering what may lie ahead in the coming days. Horoscopes can help make this easier as they predict future life events big or small. This way you’re prepared for what each day will bring. Here’s what’s happening for your zodiac […]
Because the fixed water sign’s traditional ruler is Mars, the planet of action and energy, and its modern ruler is Pluto, which, in astrology, oversees transformation, death, rebirth, power and control, this is a season to tap into your inner fire and drive and to release what no longer serves you so that you’re able to build something new, perhaps even gasp-worthy. You could find you’re more likely to claim your power and pick up on the emotional subtext within intense interpersonal situations.
Here, all you need to know about Scorpio season 2024 so you can make the most of it.
When is Scorpio season?
Every year, you can count on Scorpio season to occur from approximately October 22-23 to November 21-22. In 2024, Scorpio season will be in effect from October 22 to November 21.
With the sun moving through partnership-oriented Libra and intimacy-seeking Scorpio season on the horizon, relationship dynamics may very well be on your mind. And as we approach the middle of October, a planetary connection — Venus opposite Uranus — is primed to launch fireworks within your one-on-one bonds. You could already be feeling waves of change […]
What to expect during Scorpio season
In general, when the sun takes its annual trip through Scorpio, we’re all more likely to pursue deeper intimacy within our emotional bonds, to aspire to claim more power and take greater control in our lives and to uncover secrets and spotlight the shadow side of life. Because Scorpio highly values privacy, we could be compelled to play our cards closer to the vest now, holding back from sharing nitty-gritty details of our thoughts, dreams, emotions and especially strategies for getting ahead. Scorpios require that the people in their lives earn and maintain their trust, but once they’ve decided to let you in, you can pretty much bank on a lifelong bond. That said, Scorpio season is a time for reflecting on your comfort level within your connections and growing closer or stepping away based on what you ascertain.
Because Scorpio is co-ruled by its traditional ruler, Mars, the planet of action, and its modern ruler, Pluto, the planet of transformation, Scorpio season can feel motivating and empowering, firing you up to zero in on lofty goals that you are passionate about seeing through. Crossing the finish line is a must, as far as Scorp is concerned, given that the water sign is one of the fixed signs (the others are Taurus, Leo and Aquarius), so they are hyper-focused on achieving any objective or game plan they’ve committed to. It does bear noting that this trait also lends itself to obstinacy, which can inhibit Scorpio’s ability to adapt and even experience personal growth at times. However, the sign’s go-getter Mars rulership can help shake them out of a rut.
On the heels of an intense eclipse season, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to wish for something of a respite from game-changing astrological events. But October 2024 just happens to be one of those months in which the luminaries and planets are fueling various challenges—all of which could ultimately lead to personal growth. And on Monday, […]
And because Scorpio is associated with the Eighth House of Joint Resources and Emotional Bonds, this time of year was made for nurturing our nearest and dearest relationships and taking stock of trust, intimacy and similar dynamics within those connections. This is also the house of joint resources, so money matters involving family members (like going over wills, estates, trusts or investments) might arise and be addressed now.
2024 Scorpio season stokes your motivation to initiate big change
For the first week and a half of Scorpio season, action-oriented Mars will be in Cancer, the sentimental, heartfelt, sensitive cardinal water sign. While this isn’t exactly the strongest spot for the planet of energy, given that Cancer’s priorities (nurturing and emotionality) clash with Mars’ go-getter MO, the planet will form a friendly sextile to game-changer Uranus in grounded Taurus on October 24, which can amplify your ability to take the initiative and shake up whatever’s no longer working for you. This could be especially true within your family bonds and moneymaking endeavors, given themes associated with these two signs. And on November 3, just before Mars leaves Cancer for Leo, it’ll oppose Pluto in Capricorn, which can make you even more razor-focused on fulfilling your boldest desires.
Scorpio season heightens your need to get out of your comfort zone
While the sun is moving through the intensely emotional territory of Scorpio, several other planets will have already shifted — or be shifting — into more buoyant, adventurous terrain. For starters, Venus, the planet of relationships, will enter mutable fire sign Sagittarius on October 17, and Mercury, the planet of communication, follows on November 2, bringing a wanderlust-fueled, philosophical, unfiltered, “go-big-or-go-home” vibe to how you connect with others. November 3 also marks Mars’ move into Leo, which can step up your optimism, self-expression and creativity when pursuing your goals.
One of the reasons you’re undoubtedly head over heels for learning about astrology is how much the 2,000+-year-old practice can teach you not only about yourself but your loved ones. For example, if you were born with slow and steady Taurus placements, you might experience crossed wires with a partner who has significant fast and […]
Scorpio season offers a preview of the final Mercury retrograde of 2024
On November 7, Mercury will kick off its pre-retrograde shadow phase ahead of its November 25 to December 15 retrograde in Sagittarius, offering a glimpse of what you’ll be compelled to reflect, revise and reimagine over the course of the retrograde. While, yes, it’s more likely that you’ll experience miscommunications and tech glitches now, this period can also be a fantastic opportunity to slow down, rest, recharge and look in the rearview mirror so you can move even more definitively and confidently into the future — something my new book Mercury Magic: How to Thrive During Retrogrades and Tap Into the Power of the Messenger Planet , covers extensively.
Here, how Scorpio season 2024 will affect you based on your sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign if you know it. If you don't, you can find it in your birth chart or by using this CafeAstrology calculator .)

You’ll be zeroed in on bolstering your bonds with loved ones and perhaps your significant other as well as tending to money matters that involve your nearest and dearest, thanks to the sun spending time in your intimacy and joint resources zone now. This moment can have you moving through more deeply emotional territory than you’re usually thrilled to spend time in, but it’s possible to see it as an opportunity to take action on aspects of your life that aren’t spotlit as often as they should be. It’s also an opportunity to check your comfort level within certain relationships and adjust accordingly, particularly around the November 1 new moon.
You’d prefer to move at a deliberate, unhurried pace to achieve shared goals with a partner, loved one, dear friend or colleague, and that instinct is supported by the sun’s time in your partnership sector now. You’ll be laser-focused on the finish line you want to cross alongside someone special, and you’ll feel a greater sense of harmony and understanding while putting your heads together. You’ll find this season also lends itself to negotiating and mediating challenging situations you’ve been engrossed in alongside a coworker, family member or friend. Thanks to your ruler, Venus, moving through your intimacy and joint resources sector until November 11, you can address financial matters with loved ones more readily as well.
As the sun moves through your wellness zone during Leo season, you’ll be inspired to address any challenges related to your health or daily routine with a renewed sense of passion, confidence and drive. If you’ve been wanting to kick off a new self-care plan, like physical therapy or taking a restorative evening yoga class, perhaps alongside a friend or family member, this is the ideal season for making that happen — and making your healthy habit stick. You can especially capitalize on this energy around the November 1 new moon, which activates the same sector of your chart.
The sun moves through your self-expression and romance zone now, amplifying your desire to hit pause on hard and fast deadlines and grueling work in order to be more spontaneous, fun-loving and creative, especially with friends and loved ones. Infusing your life with more of this lighthearted energy can serve to boost your confidence and make you more apt to share what’s in your heart, which, in turn, strengthens your relationships. Talk about win-win! You can make the most of this theme around the November 1 new moon there, as well as the full moon in your friendship and long-term wishes zone on November 15.
Scorpio season throws a spotlight on your relationships with family members, because the sun, your ruler, is in your home zone now. You could find that it’s pretty much impossible to shy away from addressing ongoing emotional issues or other challenging dynamics, but you’re actually compelled to face them head-on now. You’ll benefit from going beneath the surface, perhaps with the help of a confidant or therapist, and focusing on healing festering wounds within these bonds — and within your own inner, emotional self. Once Mars moves into your sign on November 3, you’ll be even more fired up to make your vision a reality.
With the sun moving through your communication zone, your social life will be a source of fulfillment and joy this season. Of course, you could also be stretched thinner than you’d ideally like! You’ll be on-the-go, booked up and busy, and eager to connect with anyone and everyone because conversations and interactions are especially mentally stimulating. Up until Mercury, your ruling planet, shifts into your quieter home zone on November 2, this is a wonderful moment to schedule brainstorms or think about new skills you can pick up alongside friends or colleagues.
As the vitality-bringing sun spends time in your money zone, you’ll be feeling more confident and eager to make bold moves related to boosting your income. Whether you’ve been wanting to throw your hat in the ring for a different earning opportunity or to offer to bring new skills to the table to make more with your current gig, you can pursue your goal with renewed vigor. Because this sector also oversees self-worth and values, you’ll be more in tune with both of those areas of your life and able to channel your self-discoveries toward achieving financial aspirations.
Welcome to your season, Scorpio! If you want to step into the spotlight in order to earn well-deserved applause or switch up how you’re presenting yourself out in the world, this is your chance, because the sun is moving through your self-image zone and sign now. You’ll be more self-assured and eager to showcase your abilities and perspective. And if you’ve been wanting to propose a passion project or make your mark in another thrilling, bold way, consider the fact that your annual new moon falls on November 1. Use the days around this lunar event to envision and then manifest what you’ve been dreaming of.
With the sun moving through your spirituality zone, this could feel like a quieter, sleepier time of year for you — at least until November when a slew of planets will be in your sign or your adventure zone. But you can absolutely take advantage of this more restful and restorative moment by paying closer attention to your dreams and centering mind-body routines like meditation, yoga or deep breathing. Nurturing your spiritual well-being and psychological wellness can support your efforts to move the ball forward on personal goals once your season is in full swing next month.
With the sun in your networking zone during Scorpio season, your community and social circle can support your efforts to make strides on a long-term wish or goal. Trading notes with friends or colleagues could inspire you to move in a new direction or shake up your game plan in some way, and in turn, you’ll feel more confident and capable of nailing down concrete results. You may find you’re even more motivated and are able to build even greater momentum once your ruler, taskmaster Saturn, ends its retrograde in your communication sector on November 15.
The sun is now spending time in your career zone, boosting your dedication to your work — especially the kind of work in which you’re able to take on a leadership role and make an impression on higher-ups. Scorpio season supports your ability to toot your own horn, take on greater responsibility and shine in the public limelight. In turn, you could find you’re able to claim more power on your professional path and feel even more in control of where you’re headed. Because Mercury is prepping to go retrograde in your networking and friendship sector, you’ll do well to hit the gas on team efforts and group projects.
Scorpio season — and the sun’s trip through your adventure zone — has you craving the chance to spread your wings and shake up your mundane schedule. This could mean that a long-distance trip is in the cards, or you might benefit from meeting people outside of your current social network. Big picture, philosophical conversations and opportunities to soak up knowledge, perhaps alongside fellow students or a trusted mentor, could also fulfill this need. And with relationship-oriented Venus and information-gathering Mercury in your career zone from November 2 to 11, you’ll have an exciting window to showcase your skill set and to charm and pitch higher-ups.
