Score Big with Scorpio Season
Your New Lustorascope Is Here!
It’s Scorpio’s turn to take the stage and this charismatic, passionate sign will bring some serious intensity to your life from now til late November. A lot of the focus will fall onto your lovelife in particular, seeing as Scorpio is the sign of sex—satisfaction that is physical as well as emotional. This is not the month for confusing, hot and cold, will they/won’t they-type relationships, no no, this is the month that the proverbial “it” is getting done. If the fable of the scorpion and the frog taught us anything, it’s that Scorpios are gonna Scorpio. This is everyone’s chance to feel the freedom, focus, and sheer unabashed bravado of being a Scorpio.
In less exciting news, Mercury is entering its final retrograde of the year during this time, so your communication might just get garbled up in the weeks to come—so do yourself a favor and cut out the messaging middleman by communicating as little as possible. Deeds not words!
Read on to see what Scorpio season has in store for your sign…
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Choose Your Words Carefully, Aries
Now that dreamy Neptune’s left your sign, you’re back to life, back to reality, and making some major plans for your romantic future. The sun is cranking up the heat in sexy Scorpio as well as your eighth house, the place that’s dedicated to intimate encounters (also death, transformation, and psychological problems, but let’s not kill the vibe, y’know?). Cut out the distractions and set aside some time on your social calendar to get up close and personal with someone special. Just make sure that you word your invite as clearly as possible, Mercury is back in retrograde for much of November after all and this is one pass you won’t want to fumble!
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Get Closer, Taurus
With the sun in your seventh house, it’s officially relationship time for Tauruses everywhere. If you’ve already got that special plus one in your life, now is the moment to focus on that relationship and whip it into shape. If most of your nights together devolve into big t-shirts and true crime docs, an elegant dress-up date might be just the thing to defibrillate your love connection. If you’re a bull that hasn’t found its mate yet, Scorpio season is a good time to momentarily drop your defenses and let someone into your orbit—with the November 5 super full moon in your sign, you’ve got nothing to lose, well, except your single status!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Clean Up Time, Gemini
Scorpio season brings the sun into your sixth house, the tidiest one of them all! You’re fully energized to be productive, revamp your daily routines, and bring an overwhelming sense of order to your thoughts—almost like you have a labelmaker for your brain. Mercury is your ruling planet, and while it's in retrograde, it’ll have you reevaluating the way you work in the office in favor of increased efficiency and bigger, better results. This all sounds very organized, but Neptune, planet of illusions, will complicate things when it enters your career sector for the next few months. Power through and turn those daydreams into a distinct vision within your reach.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You’re a Star, Cancer
You may be a crab but you certainly won’t be one of the hermit variety during Scorpio season! Instead, you’ll be getting out there in the hopes of sinking your claws into some steamy romance action. With Scorpio loaning you some charisma power, everyone that crosses your path will be awestruck by your intense magnetic attraction. Oh, and did we mention that the sun is currently illuminating your fifth house, the house of pleasure? We didn’t? Well, you do the math! If you’re in a relationship already, the heat in your bedroom has been turned up to boiling. If you’re a crab that hasn’t found its partner yet, get out there and grab life by the rangoons.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Party On, Leo
Get out the plastic cups and crank up the ice maker, because it’s time to party! The sun is radiating into your fourth house, the part of your sign that dictates domesticity, i.e. your home. And this Scorpio season, the home is where the party is. Think of it as ramping up to the holiday season with fun visitors, tasty food, and raucous adventures. As opposed to the other signs, the Mercury retrograde is inspiring you to have a good time and really enjoy yourself in creative ways. You’ll find that ideas are flowing more easily and that some figures from your past are reappearing in your life all of a sudden. That’s due to a visit from Uranus, the most eccentric and unpredictable planet of the bunch.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Tell Your Story, Virgo
Scorpio season finds the sun blasting through the front windows of your third house of communication, how you express yourself to the world around you. And that famous Scorpio charisma boost you’re feeling is nothing to sneeze at. This might be your moment to become a valued voice in your community, to meet new people of like minds and connect, or ally yourself to a big important cause. Of course, there is still the “Mercury in retrograde” of it all to deal with, and in your case it won’t stand a chance at futzing with your potent communication powers, but it will instead inspire you to analyze that communication on a deeper level. Does your sincerity shine through? Lean on your friends and fam to ensure that your words connect on a deep level.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Shop Smart, Libra
Your second house of finances is lit up with energy from the sun, maybe you got some extra dough for your birthday last month? Let’s not think too hard about where the money came from and just be glad it’s here now! This is the time of year to think seriously about your spending and the money that you have coming in. That doesn’t mean you’re putting a padlock on your purse or anything, but it does mean that you’re going to think really hard about your purchase of beautiful sparkly things. Y’know, in case anybody asks. At the very least, you can practice this response: “Oh, don’t worry, I shopped around. I read customer reviews and everything.” That bonus Scorpio charisma will come in very handy should anyone in your life get ahold of the credit card bill before you do. And hey, Mercury’s retrograde has you considering your self worth. So ask your “self” if it wants more worth and then spend accordingly. ;)
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Enjoy Your Gifts, Scorpio
Happy birthday to you, Scorpy! But what’s that? Your monthlong celebration will see guest appearances from the sun (naturally), Venus, Mercury, and Mars. And each one of them will come loaded with different gifts. The sun is bringing its UV rays to your first house, the house of self, which will inspire a revamp to your look (need some accessories?). Scorpio is the sign of sex, and Venus will obviously amp up your love power. Mars will enter your second house of money, inspiring you to conquer new financial horizons and reap bigger rewards. Mercury will be doing its retrograde thing all over your first and second houses, inspiring you to take a careful look at your appearance and money decisions in a measure twice, cut once sort of way. Très responsible!
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Chill Out, Sagittarius
It’s time for you to take a much-needed break. The breakneck pace of life has really got you beat, but luckily for you the sun has illuminated your twelfth house, the one that’s fully dedicated to seclusion, your subconscious mind, and the secrets that are locked within. So grab a sleep mask and find a suitably dark cave, a comfy bed, or the recliner of your choice and reclaim all the rest and relaxation that you didn’t get last month. Close the blinds, ignore your phone, and wear pants only if they have a drawstring. Lazy? You’re not lazy! Consider it a lengthy recharge cycle to get you ready for whatever action awaits you in Capricorn season.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Curate Your Crew, Capricorn
It’s Scorpio season and the sun is drenching your eleventh house with a heaping helping of solar power. It just so happens the eleventh house is dedicated to friendships, collabs, social circles—everything related to your interaction with the people around you. Take a closer look at your bestie brigade and try to determine which relationships really fill up your life with joy and which ones… y’know… don’t. Once you’ve got your answers, feel free to ghost with gusto and redirect your attention to those that truly deserve it! If you find the friend pickin’s are too slim, it’s time to shake things up and get some new blood in the mix.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Take the Lead, Aquarius
Aquarians like you always have their eyes on the prize, but now that Scorpio season has come around, you’ve got the passion and intensity to get some real results. But that’s not the only trick you’ve got up your sleeve this month, the sun is radiating its stellar superpowers into your tenth house of ambition! Basically, that prize you’ve got your eyes on just got bigger and the seasonal schmooze power upgrade will make it possible for you to chase down your dreams, destabilize political regimes, topple nations, or y’know, whatever you’re into these days. You will have a Jupiter retrograde jeopardizing your power potential from mid-November onward, so challenge yourself and see how much you can accomplish before then!
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Take in Some Sights, Pisces
There’s nothing fishy about the sun shining through your ninth house of travel adventures! It’s time to swim upstream to some exciting far-off locales to learn more about yourself and how you fit into the world. But if you opened up your wallet just now and a moth flew out, a vacay might not be in the cards. Consider instead a more budget-friendly expansion of your horizons, like a trip to the library or maybe a free or at least cheap class you can take that will teach you a new skill—preferably something that ends in a new certification which could in turn level up your earning potential at the ol’ office, thus alleviating the whole wallet moth situation?
