Scorpio Season 2023
When it comes to Libra season, we are invited to release tension, calm down, and to immerse ourselves in beauty and art. These past four weeks, we needed those moments of serenity because this Libra season was quite intense. Not only did we have a Solar Eclipse in Libra, but we also had Mars and Pluto square off with one another.
Mars and Pluto both rule Scorpio. What these two planets have in common is that they thrive on intensity. Mars symbolizes the psyche function within us that seeks to assert ourselves, that has the courage to face our fears. Pluto symbolizes the part of us that makes the unconscious conscious, and that has the courage to face our wounds. On October 8th, Mars, the God of War, met up with Pluto, the God of Hell, in a friction-based relationship called a square.
On my Instagram, I shared that this is going to be an intense day, one where we’re being invited to deal with our Shadow. There was friction in the air and was a day to release those pent-up emotions in a constructive way, like physical exercise. But, astrology can’t predict how individuals will express the energy being forecasted. It’s up to each human to decide what to do with the energy–with the planetary alignments–of the times.
All hell broke loose in the Israel-Hamas situation that day. I am no expert on what’s going on with these two groups, but I think we can all agree that the killings of innocent people is an outdated model of conflict resolution. I am also aware that I am not in their shoes and don’t know how I would act if I was raised in that region of the world. Besides bringing up those points, I don’t want to go any further because that is above my pay grade.
Rage, inflicting pain, and being diabolically poisonous are the dark faces of Scorpio, Mars, and Pluto. When we’re afraid to face our wounds, that shadow energy is going to leak itself and can be projected out into the world through sheer nastiness. If there is ever a time to get honest with yourself or have “that conversation” with someone, it’s Scorpio season. As the Sun transits through Scorpio from October 23rd through November 22nd, the energy in the air is primed for facing emotionally-charged truths squarely and courageously.
If you have prominent Scorpio energy, you thrive on real truth. Surface-level conversations like the ones had at cocktail parties are torture for Scorpios. Most people don’t like to go “there” because they’re afraid of what’s hidden. Not Scorpios. Eye-to-eye truth-telling regenerates Scorpios instead of draining them. I should clarify, Scorpios who have gone deep within themselves thrive on depth and honesty. You want to have at least one of these courageous Scorpios in your life because you will have an ally in your life who you can count on to share your darkest truths.
A friend I hadn’t seen since college told me what I was up to these days and told him I was an astrologer. He wanted to know what that entailed and I said that it’s mostly one-to-one consultations where I discuss people’s blueprint to help them live the life they desire. I went on to say that part of that process was talking about their karma and the challenges that they’re here to deal with. He said, “Man I wouldn’t be able to deal with that.” I said, “Those conversations I have with clients are what bring fulfillment to my existence.” Some people thrive on taboo subjects, others want to run in the opposite direction.
Scorpio Season Horoscopes
I’ll share a horoscope reading to get more of an idea of where the Scorpio action will be happening for you. Look to your Ascendant/Rising sign for an accurate interpretation. I always advise with these general horoscope readings that they may not land for you because the themes may be happening in a different area for you due to how your chart is set up. So the true way to understand what’s happening for you is to receive a consultation.
For the next four weeks, the arena of life you want to get real and go deep is in:
Aries Rising:
Emotionally-charged conversations related to your sense of power, finances, sexual intimacy, death, and other topics that are considered taboo.
Taurus Rising:
Your personal relationships. How can you deepen your conversations with your lover, best friend, business, or creative partner?
Gemini Rising:
Your daily routines, health and work sector. Have you been avoiding taking an honest self-assessment of how you approach your daily rituals? Have you been avoiding having a challenging conversation with someone at work? Can you go deeper with work?
Cancer Rising:
Your creative, joy, and romance sector. How can you go deeper when it comes to creatively expressing yourself? This is a great season to express your passion, especially in the bedroom.
Leo Rising:
Your inner world, home and family life. Carve out some time to go deep within yourself. Spend quality time at home and with family. Also, how can you deepen your relationships with those closest to you?
Virgo Rising:
Your communication, learning, writing, and teaching sector. This is a great season to express your honesty and passion. Also, a great time to follow your curiosity, such as exploring familiar destinations, connecting with siblings and extended family members, or learning something you are passionate about.
Libra Rising:
Your money, resources, and self-worth sector. Are you being honest about your finances? How can you prove yourself to yourself in order to enhance your self-esteem?
Scorpio Rising:
Your direction in life. Your style. How you dress yourself. All eyes are on you. It’s time to get real about how you’re living your life. Are you going the path you want to go? If not, let’s pivot and make some changes to align yourself with where you really want to go.
Sagittarius Rising:
Your spiritual and solitude sector. If you don’t feel like you have the energy to work, listen to your body. You still have to pay the bills, but take more time to connect with your spirituality–however that looks like for you. Are there people, habits, or things that you need to let go? If so, these next four weeks are prime for that intention.
Capricorn Rising:
Your friends, network, and goal sector. Are you aligned with the right people? Have you been dishonest about your dreams and aspirations? Have that difficult conversation with yourself about how you can better align yourself with the right crowd and the things that you need to prioritize to climb the mountain YOU want to ascend in this lifetime.
Aquarius Rising:
Your career, community, and public sector. Get real with yourself about the work you’re doing. Is there something you would like to share with your community? This is a great season to be vulnerable and/or share something important with your audience. Also a great time for public events.
Pisces Rising:
Your perspective, life philosophy, and faith sector. This is a great season to expand your perspective in life. You can do so by traveling, learning, or exposing yourself to new ideas. Have you been feeling stuck? Well then, it’s time to break up your routines and try something new.
This Scorpio season, make time to explore the truth. Get to the bottom of things. Face your fears, wounds, and pains honestly and courageously. Be brave to look into the eyes of the person you’re connecting to intimately. When you do Shadow work, you can transform your pain into power–that is the Scorpion’s path.
Your Scorpio ally,
Andre
