Welcome Scorpio Season

Written by Bri Luna Astrology by Lisa Stardust

From October 23- November 21st, this is a period of death & rebirth. At this time, our life force withdraws from the world of activity and goes inward. Scorpio’s energy is passionate, intense, destructive, regenerative, and feminine. This is a fixed water sign and Scorpio represents the urge to sink deeply into the depths of emotional experience and to destroy old structures in order to make room for the new to emerge.

How to work with scorpion energy: Work to eliminate old habits and behaviors that have been holding you back. Issues that involve control/power can also arise now as emotional patterns and conditions stemming from childhood or past lifetimes. psychological counseling can be helpful during this period.. There is no shame in taking the necessary steps to provide balance and tranquility for your mental health. Scorpio is also associated with magick of all types: this sign is the ruler of the genitals so sex magick, and occult power, as well as the hidden realms, are at the forefront. It’s no surprise that many pagan holidays celebrating the life cycles of death and rebirth I.e Samhain, Halloween, and Dia de Los Muertos fall within the Scorpio season.

This is a month when we’ll feel strong and secure in all we do making it a prime time to embrace our magic. 


Use this time for magical workings pertaining to sexuality, divination, journeying, and prosperity rituals crystals: obsidian, and garnet.
