Scorpio season comes in hot on October 23 until November 22 with the climax of five retrogrades (Mercity, Venus, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). Mercury and Venus retrograde prove that we are cautious about letting our guard down with people and may even become defensive. We are likely to move on if we've been feeling a bit stuck in the past. This energy is like a spinning compass of ideas and interests, and the mood is uplifted, perhaps even cheerful in the last days of Scorpio season. We can ride these positive vibes. With a deeper understanding of people’s feelings, we can see it way more clearly and empathize.

What to Expect from Scorpio Season?

Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius)

Several worlds are colliding at once, which you both enjoy on a mental level and which also complicates matters a little bit. Taking these lessons one at a time will help shift your energy.

Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn)

You'll begin to see that your personal growth is leading to more and more romantic possibilities. This can even open up a relationship option you never thought possible.

Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius)

Be philosophical, keep asking questions, and you can learn what you need to know, allowing you to make wise, informed choices.

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces)

Only you can define your worth, and no one can have power over you unless you give it away. Let go of power struggles, and trust a situation will find its level.
