Sun in Scorpio

Your Scorpio Season Horoscope

Explore the secrets and sorcery of the Sun in Scorpio

By Emily Trinkaus

The Sun moves into mysterious Scorpio each October, inviting you to delve into the Underworld and investigate what's hidden beneath the surface of everyday life. While every year can be different, we typically swim through the energy of this fixed Water sign from from October 23 to November 22.

The Scorpion's goal is transformation at the deepest level, by bringing light to shadows and secrets and cutting through external appearances to uncover the core of truth.

Like the snake -- one of the animals associated with Scorpio -- this sign teaches that shedding the old is sometimes necessary for new growth, and that death is an essential part of life. As autumn starts to fade into winter (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), days grow darker and signs of death and decay abound in the natural world, reminding us of our own mortality.

It's not a coincidence that Halloween, All Saints Day and Day of the Dead happen during the Scorpio season. The veil between material reality and the realm of spirits -- the visible and invisible worlds -- is said to grow thin, heightening our ability to access magic and connect with those who have passed.

Find out where you're being called to look beneath the surface, release the old and transform at a deep level by looking up your horoscope sign below.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

The Scorpio Sun brings healing and regeneration to your 8th House of Intimacy. Intense feelings that arise -- desire, passion, jealousy -- remind you of what's really important and inspire you to release what gets in the way of emotional fulfillment. This is not the time to go it alone -- instead, focus on merging energy or resources with a trusted ally to produce a more powerful influence. For best results, let go of the need to be in control.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

There's a change brewing in how you relate as the Sun beams the light of transformation into your 7th House of Partners. Uncover the roots of any relationship-related ruts and take steps to release old patterns. You don’t have to be self-sufficient now -- showing vulnerability and asking for support are the ways to move forward. If your feelings about a special someone are intensifying, take the risk of expressing your passionate emotions.
