Paint your nails black and add a new name to your nemesis list, because Scorpio season is here. From October 23 to November 22, the Sun will move through the eighth sign of the zodiac. During this month, everyone will get a strong dose of Scorpio energy—think detective-level investigations, a strong intuition, personal transformation, and of course, a thirst for revenge.
This energy will affect Scorpio placements and other water signs (Cancer and Pisces) the most, but everyone will experience it. This Scorpio season overlaps with both Mercury Retrograde and Venus Retrograde, meaning that there will be some extra chaos—particularly because Mercury is in Scorpio for its whole retrograde journey, and Venus is in Scorpio til October 25, then in Libra. In particular, you can expect miscommunications, DM slides from your ex, surprise bills, and travel delays.
On November 13, both planets end their retrogrades and then it's smooth (ish) sailing from there on. If you want to put all this Scorpio energy to use, mark your cal for the annual New Moon in Scorpio on November 9. This is a great time to set an intention for a goal you want to achieve in the next month, six months, or year, particularly if it's related to Scorpio themes of transformation, power, or emotions.

As Scorpio season begins, the Sun enters your 8th House of transformation, speeding you through a period of intense personal growth. The Aries you are at the end of Scorpio season will be different from the Aries you are now.
Think carefully about the changes you welcome into your life to ensure you're transforming in a way that you want to. Who's your other half, Taurus? You're proudly independent, but during Scorpio season, you're becoming entangled with another person.
If you're partnered, you're likely getting even closer with your S.O. If you're single, this could be a close friend or creative collaborator. Because of Venus Retrograde, it's a good idea to avoid starting any new relationships til after mid-November.
