How Scorpio Season 2023 Will Affect Each Zodiac Sign (For Better or Worse)

Are you ready to take a plunge into the underworld? Here’s how Scorpio season 2023 will affect each zodiac sign, because it will be the perfect time to explore our shadow side. As soon as the sun enters Scorpio, there might be an intensifying desire to go deeper than ever before. Since Scorpio season is arguably the most magickal, this astrological period could encourage intense introspection and self-led transformation.

After the light-hearted energy of Libra season, you may notice that your perception will sharpen as your magnetism and intuition deepen when the sun enters Scorpio on October 23 at 12:20 p.m. ET. Once the sun is in Scorpio, the solar luminary will answer to Scorpio’s co-rulers, Mars and Pluto. As the sun takes on a Martian drive and Plutonic edge, we may feel more empowered as we embrace the skeletons in our closets.

Shortly after the solar ingress, the sun in Scorpio will form a pleasant trine with Saturn retrograde in Pisces on October 24. Easing into your power might be less intense during this harmonious aspect. As you build a relationship with your authority, you may feel more self-assured about restructuring elements of your life or taking on additional responsibilities. 

The last lunar eclipse of 2023 rises on October 28, which will occur at 5 degrees Taurus. Full moons typically represent a culmination or conclusion to a six-month cycle, so you may want to reflect on what has happened since May 2023. Although it might be tempting to ritualize this lunation, it would be better to observe it since eclipses bring on fated yet unpredictable events. I recommend taking note of what comes to light three days before and after the eclipse since it may illuminate how this cycle will wrap up for you!

Prepare to use your words as weapons when Mercury in Scorpio forms a conjunction with Mars in Scorpio on October 29. The strategic, pinpointed conjunction suggests that tone, turf, and timing are valuable tools in our arsenal. Since communication will have a precise note, this could be the perfect time to hold a much-needed conversation or confrontation. However, you may want to keep in mind that your opponent could also use their wit to their advantage. 

Exceptionally creative costumes will pop up since Venus in Virgo will trine Uranus retrograde in Taurus on October 31. Halloween might be more unusual this year since this trine will help everyone personalize their costumes. The trine could allude to niche costume ideas, creative DIYs, and a unique exactness with nailing down costume details. But something could turn on a dime, like a costume malfunction or unexpected issues in relationships. 

Cautious optimism will be an ongoing theme when the sun in Scorpio opposes Jupiter retrograde in Taurus on November 3. Although the paranoid sun might be wondering what’s next, Jupiter retrograde could help us slowly turn our attitudes around. The opposition could represent a positive change if we are willing to pivot and open up.

A day later, Saturn will station direct in Pisces on November 4. The taskmaster planet has been stationed retrograde since June 17, so this has been a long yet introspective period. Throughout this retrograde, you may have reconsidered your coping mechanisms, boundaries, and relationship with your reality. Now that Saturn is direct, there will be a chance to intuitively pivot to create a fantastical yet grounded life moving forward. 

Matters of the heart will walk a fine line when Venus in Virgo forms a trine with Pluto in Capricorn on November 6. Whenever tiny but mighty Pluto is involved, we can expect this energy to go one of two ways. On one hand, this trine could be considered increasingly extreme, especially if nitpicking, lack of boundaries, and servitude are overtaking romantic prospects. But on the other hand, this trine could be transformative if you are willing to overturn something that doesn’t serve your best interests in love. The choice will be yours to make!

After the intensity of the trine, love might be an easier subject to talk about once Venus enters Libra on November 8. Since Venus will be domicile in Libra, this might be a welcomed change of pace given that Venus will be equipped to handle romance, finances, and aesthetics. A sense of balance will be restored during this Venusian transit.  

Scorpio season begins on October 23 at 12:21 p.m. ET and ends on November 22 at 9:02 a.m. ET.

Unfortunately, there will be a chance in communication when Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 10. The cosmic messenger will be detriment in Sagittarius, suggesting that Mercury is ill-equipped since Sagittarius may lack the foresight to consider the details. Not to mention that Mercury will immediately square Saturn in Pisces, so there might be issues relaying information to authority figures or structuring communication-based projects. Luckily, Mercury in Sagittarius will adopt a can-do attitude that will help us persevere come hell or high water. 

A new cycle will begin during the new moon in Scorpio on November 13, which will occur at 20 degrees. This could be an empowering lunation, especially considering financial literacy and deepening intimate bonds. Personally, I think this could be an exceptional lunation for magick since the fearless Scorpio energy could be excellent for banishing negative energy and amplifying spiritual protection.

Spiritual discernment will be necessary when the sun in Scorpio forms a trine with Neptune retrograde in Pisces on November 17. The intuitive trine may help clear the air through abstract signs, signals, and omens. Paying attention to your cosmic cues and dreams might be the key to discerning your spiritual messages. However, this trine could point to knowing when you might be indulging in delusions, too.

Finally, the sun in Scorpio will create an impassioned sextile with Pluto in Capricorn on November 20. The final aspect of Scorpio season encourages self-actualization. Tiny but mighty Pluto could turn the sun inside out, encouraging us to consider what we can each capitalize on or work on. Acknowledge your power during this sextile!

You might be more than ready to leave the underworld by the time Scorpio season ends on November 22 when the sun leaves Scorpio for Sagittarius at 9:02 a.m. ET. Thankfully, this change of pace could feel imminent since the sun in Sagittarius will have a notable buoyancy compared to the profoundness of the sun in Scorpio.
