What October's Scorpio Horoscope Predictions Mean for You
Read what your sign's 2020 horoscope predictions have in store for you or check out the Scorpio personality profile.
Welcome to October, Scorpio! Your season approaches. At the end of September, like many of us, your mind focused on politics and how to help your community. However, you might be feeling a bit discouraged, like you can't possibly make a dent in the huge problems going on in the world. Thankfully, you receive a burst of optimism thanks to the full moon in Aries on Thursday, October 1. You share a ruling planet, Mars, with this sign. This lunation inspires you to be good to those around you and reminds you that working on a small scale can make all the difference. On this day, safely meet with friends to discuss community organizing.
The final Mercury retrograde of the year occurs in your sign from Tuesday, October 13 to Tuesday, November 3, which happens to be Election Day, so don't expect any nice and tidy results. At times you can be obsessive and paranoid, Scorpio, and Mercury retrograde brings that out of you. Yes, there is a lot to be scared of right now, but you're still alive with much to be thankful for. When Mercury goes retrograde in your sign, you feel the effects more fully, and can fall into bad habits if you're not careful. Sabotaging your relationships will only make things worse. Meditate, reflect, and try not to take everything personally. There's no need to create problems where none exist; practicing gratitude will help you put things into perspective.
We all must work on ensuring that the hardships we've faced this year don't ruin our capacity for love.
Circle Friday, October 16 in your calendar as a great day for romance. There's a new moon in Libra, the sign of justice and partnerships. New moons represent new beginnings, so whether you're single or partnered, use this weekend to let go of any built-up resentments or insecurities. We all must work on ensuring that the hardships we've faced this year don't ruin our capacity for love.
Your season finally begins on Thursday, October 22. Use your intensity to work on your career or make yourself feel beautiful rather than obsess over past relationships. Either masturbate or have sex with a partner you've been staying at home with to let off some steam.
The month ends on your favorite holiday on Saturday, October 31. Halloween just happens to also fall on a full moon in sensual Taurus this year. You may feel a little sad because Halloween typically means dressing up, makeup, music, candy, loud parties, and sometimes, kissing a stranger in a ridiculous costume. Ever since COVID-19 basically canceled some of these things, you've been a bit down, but it is your Scorpio duty not to let the pandemic break your Halloween spirit. Talk to friends and loved ones to find a safe way to celebrate. The full moon will help, as Taurus loves nothing more than to lounge in a small group rather than rave all night. Be safe, and see you in November!
