SCORPIO SEASON
23 OCT – 22 NOV
THEME: TRANSFORMATION
As Libra’s longing for balance dissolves, Scorpio pulls us into deeper waters. The surface gloss slips, and what remains is instinct. A pulse beneath the pleasantries.This is no longer a season of mirrors; it’s a descent into the marrow.Scorpio invites you into the ache and the truths you buried under bravado and busyness. What once felt too much to carry now becomes the compass. Here, clarity is not logical; it’s felt in the bones. Desire won’t be reasoned with. Pain won’t bebypassed. And healing won’t arrive without turning inward first.
"What once felt too much to carry now becomes the compass."
This is a season for the brave-hearted. For those willing to meet themselves at the edge and keep going. To sit with the discomfort long enough to understand its shape.To trace their obsessions back to their origin. To risk closeness with what’s unresolved.Because the only way out is through. Masks melt, and the need to control untangles. Secrets lose their grip when named aloud. What you feel, you can transform. What you own, you can alchemise. Let this be your season of unravelling. Of letting intensity refine you, not consume you. Of touching the parts of yourself you swore were unlovable and finding powerthere. Scorpio reminds you: your shadow is not your shame. It’s the mess that matures into meaning.
Self-Care in Scorpio
This lunar cycle moves between depth and grounding, inviting both release and renewal. Scorpio season draws you inward to meet your truth, while the Taurus Full Moon steadies what remains. Together, they form a passage from emotional honesty to embodied calm. A reminder that transformation is not chaos but a return to what feels real, rooted, and alive.
MOON MOMENTS:
Full Moon in Taurus – 06 NOV 12:19 AM AEDT
The Taurus Full Moon steadies what Scorpio season stirs. This lunation reveals the space between having and holding, between what’s mine and what we share. Itasks: Where have you clung too tightly? Where have you given too much? Sensual and shadowy, this moon illuminates our relationship to safety, trust, and value,particularly in love and intimacy. It invites you to soften into your body while being honest about your emotional undercurrents. To keep what soothes you, and compost what controls you.
New Moon in Scorpio – 20 NOV 5:47 PM AEDT
A new beginning, but not a light one. This is a renewal that stirs from the deep,where silence holds truth, and shadows become seeds. Aligned with Mercury retrograde and opposed by Uranus, this lunation unsettles before it stabilises. It’s a call to reckon with what you've outgrown: the behaviours that keep you small, the fears that hold you guarded, the habits that keep you in orbit around pain. This is the kind of fresh start that comes with shedding, telling the truth and standing still in the dark long enough for your eyes to adjust.
PLANETARY MOVEMENTS:
Mercury begins its retrograde on November 9,
retracing the skies from bold Sagittarius back into the depths of Scorpio,
finishing its apparent backward dance by November 30.
At first, words may come fast and wide, opinions flung like arrows, truths stretched across cultural divides. Miscommunications around travel, teaching, or belief systems may arise, prompting you to pause before making a proclamation. But as Mercury slips into Scorpio’s waters, the mood shifts. What was once loud becomes quiet, then piercing. Conversations turn inward. Secrets resurface. The past whispers through unspoken memories, inviting reflection on trust, emotional truth,and the words left unsaid.
This retrograde invites you to listen more closely, between the lines, beneath the surface. What stories need revisiting before you can move forward with clarity?
