Scorpio season: the path to regeneration
A season to go into the depths of your life, unearth what’s buried there, and come back renewed.
The lowdown
What is Scorpio season about?
Scorpio season runs from around 23 October to 22 November, when the Sun moves through Scorpio, the fixed water sign ruled by Pluto and Mars. It is a season of depth and transformation: letting go of what has run its course, facing what you’ve avoided, and coming back renewed.
If the scales of Libra season left you craving more intensity, you’re in for a ride over the month ahead. Scorpio season turns up the heat and asks you to embrace transformation like never before.
In the Northern Hemisphere
Late autumn
In Europe and North America, Scorpio season arrives as the year goes dark: leaves falling, nights lengthening, and Halloween, Samhain and the Day of the Dead at its heart, when the veil between the living and the dead was said to be at its thinnest.
In the Southern Hemisphere
Late spring
In Australia, Scorpio season arrives as spring deepens towards summer: everything in full growth, blooming and decaying at once.
The way through
How Scorpio season helps you find your way in the world
Scorpio finds its way by going down, not around. This is the season with no shortcuts: the one that asks you to look at what’s buried, let go of what has died, and trust that something real comes back.
Wherever Scorpio sits in your chart, that is where the season will dig. Find Scorpio in your houses, and you’ll know where to look.

Nine questions. Nine muses. Find the one who is showing you the way.
The ruler
Pluto, ruler of Scorpio
The planet Pluto is named for the Roman god of the underworld, the equivalent of the Greek Hades. He ruled the realm of the dead, where souls journeyed after this life.
That’s why, in astrology, Pluto is linked with transformation, rebirth and hidden truths. Mars, Scorpio’s traditional ruler, adds the will to fight for what matters.
Pluto’s most famous story is the myth of Demeter and Persephone: a daughter taken into the underworld, a mother searching, a world gone cold, and a maiden who rises a queen. Read the myth, and what it means for you.

Actions for Scorpio season
Three ways to work with the depths.
Shadow work
Go inward
Explore your fears, desires and the parts of yourself you usually keep hidden. Journalling, meditation and therapy all help, and acknowledging what’s hidden is where transformation starts.
Let go
Clear space
Release a habit, a relationship or a belief that has run its course. Clearing your physical space can mirror the emotional clearing.
Go deeper
Connect
Strengthen your closest relationships with honest conversation. It takes vulnerability, and it’s worth it.
