S Scorpio season has arrived, known for its theatrical smoke, psychological warfare, and leather accents. This season, which stretches from October 22nd to November 21st, is characterized by the intensity and passion that are hallmarks of the Scorpio zodiac sign. Scorpios are often misunderstood, seen as both goal-oriented and ruthless due to their fixed nature as a water sign. However, Scorpios have the unique ability to transmute their darkness into survival and show others that there is light on the other side of the struggle.
Scorpio season coincides with various festivals that celebrate the life cycle and invite reflection on grief and remembrance. The ruling planets of Scorpio, Mars and Pluto, reflect the sign’s association with sex and aggression, destruction, and intensity. Scorpios are symbolized by creatures like the serpent, eagle, and phoenix, representing transformation and the journey from darkness to light. Scorpios are known for their subterranean brilliance, psychic abilities, and sense of detecting deception.
Challenges for Scorpios include tendencies towards vengeance, obsession, envy, and paranoia. Scorpio’s heightened intuition can border on paranoia, and they are encouraged to confront their insecurities to find power over them. In the tarot, Scorpio is represented by the Death card, reminding us of the ephemeral nature of life. As rulers of the eighth house, Scorpios dive into the shadows and acknowledge the unseen, hidden truths within themselves.
In terms of physical attributes, Scorpio rules the reproductive organs and seeks profound intimacy and transformative experiences. Scorpios are known for their intensity in relationships and compatibility with signs like Cancer, Pisces, Taurus, and Virgo. An ideal match for a Scorpio would be with an Aries, as both signs share a willingness to go to battle for each other and value intensity in their relationships. Overall, heartbreak is seen as challenging for Scorpios, as they are known to react passionately and intensely to emotional upheavals.
