Scorpio Season

The sign of Scorpio is primarily associated with the onset of autumn and the chaos it brings, constricting human living spaces to the scale of individual homes. During this time, the celestial productive energies are depleted and require rest for renewal.

The autumn rains, though plentiful, are barren; they cool the earth down without providing nourishment. Plows, representing the active cultivation of land, are stored away until spring returns. This temporary exhaustion of heavenly forces results in a contraction of existence space while simultaneously expanding the realm of the afterlife. Scorpio's month can thus be seen as emblematic of transformation and purification, reflecting the lethal nature of Scorpio itself, whose venom is poisonous. In the millennia-old myths of various cultures, this period was known by different names, but the meaning was the same — the time of overcoming challenges. For ancient people, the harvest was gathered, autumn rains were cooling the earth, and soon an unforgiving winter would arrive with the message, 'Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide.'

⌛️ The period is associated with the Major Arcana “Death” as a transition from one state to another. This means: a new chapter won’t begin, until you close the present one. Astrologically, the new chapter starts only next month, in Sagittarius Season, which represents a Phoenix rising from the ashes, till then we are absorbed in transformations at all levels. What transition should we expect while the Sun is crossing the Scorpio sign? Carlos Castaneda once wrote in his works that a "warrior" should regularly make a list of everything he owns, including material and spiritual values. Then the warrior should carefully study this list and get rid of everything redundant or burdening his life. Such a process can be painful, as it involves deep emotional immersion into memories. That’s why it’s important to remember that hidden and suppressed emotions take away a significant part of our life energy, so self-analyzing and liberating ourselves from emotional baggage on an occasional basis - is essential. Scorpio season is the perfect time to do it.

🏃‍♂️ Lead an active lifestyle: sitting still is forbidden, and fate won’t allow it anyway. It’s important to channel energy into solving a large number of challenging tasks which life will inevitably throw your way during a short period, if they haven’t already appeared. 🧹 Cleanse activities: from fasting and enemas to deep cleaning and decluttering. Destroy, burn, explode, start repairing or perform purification rituals. 🏆 Compete for leadership and recognition: aim to take first place in everything and don’t yield to anyone; no slowing down. ❤️‍🔥 Bring out your sexuality: finding a real partner, going on dates, improving your confidence in bed, moving in with your loved one, becoming intimately close with them. 🚨 Handle crises, emergencies, urgent matters: save and help others. But keep in mind that this period is prone to accidents and injuries, so caution is essential. 💥 Speak the truth: arguing, starting a conflict if needed, declaring war, taking something from someone, causing pain, seeking revenge, burning bridges or cutting ties — there’s no better time than Scorpio season.

♈ Aries: Receiving treasures, recognition, strength, gifts, and rewards for overcoming challenges. You might also revisit the past, or something/someone from your past may return — expect some déjà vu moments. ♉ Taurus: Experiencing renewal — ending something old or past through a tough challenge, involving separation from home, family, or a familiar lifestyle. Be cautious with emotions, as you could harm yourself, so keep a cool head. ♊ Gemini: Preparation for the toughest challenge of the year, approaching it, facing your deepest fears, and diving into them. ♋ Cancer: Trials, solving mysteries, avoiding traps, continuing something started earlier, choosing a direction. You’ll want to shine through your body, appearance, sexuality, charisma, or with speed, strength, or even a partner or a car. Gifts from admirers, lightening of the head/face (like dying your hair), car washes, tech cleansing, attention to the body, acquisition of hot, sharp objects for health. Passions run high, love crushes, intimate connection. ♌ Leo: Departure from your comfort zone, literally through trips, journeys, or moves. Crossing some boundaries (for example, in relationships), or entering the realm of the unknown. ♍ Virgo: You’ll meet someone who will help, support, or give advice. Gifts from men, lightening of the head/face (like dying your hair), car washes, tech cleansing, focus on the body, acquisition of sharp, hot items, or something for health. Passions run high, love crushes, intimate connection. ♎ Libra: The call of adventure. Many invitations coming your way, you’ll be a witness to others’ lives, a lot of offers to “take a look.” Surprises come from Scorpio-related areas: technology, men, body, and health. ♏ Scorpio: Status quo. For the hero who has leveled up, nothing will be the same again. It’s the perfect time to plan the next journey, but don’t start anything new just yet — focus on finishing up what needs to be done. ♐ Sagittarius: Resolution. All the tangled plotlines are unraveled, or you’ll need to untangle them yourself and reap what you’ve sown. Someone might try to burden you or get upset if you don’t meet their expectations. If you made bad choices recently, some trouble could arise, leaving you in a bad mood with no power to change things (as the Sun is not in your favor). Avoid starting anything new. ♑ Capricorn: A new life. Past searches and trials have changed you, and you’ve outgrown your old self. You can feel this transformation and use it. Gifts from admirers, lightening of the head/face (like dying your hair), car washes, tech cleansing, attention to the body, acquisition of hot, sharp objects for health. Passions run high, love crushes, intimate connection. ♒ Aquarius: Back to basics. You come back to your normal world, back to your comfort zone, which might even include bad habits. ♓ Pisces: A resolution. Either you defeat the monsters or they chase you, and you run. Emerging from difficulties, worries, or a tough period in life. Gifts from admirers, lightening of the head/face (like dying your hair), car washes, tech cleansing, focus on health and body. Passions run high, love crushes, intimate connection.

☄️ Despite its harshness, we need this contrastingly heavy Scorpio period to move forward lightly. Good riddance! What will you shake off to forge onwards?
