How to Shop for a Scorpio

A very Scorpio-season gift guide, by a fashion-obsessed astrologer.

Congratulations! By the time you're reading this article — which I promise is related to fashion — you've made it through a giant chunk of eclipse season, probably had an epiphany about your supposed life purpose, possibly met who you think is the love of your life and might have had an encounter with an event that felt (or will feel) fated.

It's not you, it's me. If the stars in the sky could talk right now, that's probably what they would say about the current ~celestial climate~. It's intense, chaotic and out of control, especially for those with Scorpio, Taurus, Leo and Aquarius placements in their charts.

On Oct. 25, the solar eclipse in Scorpio was in conjunction with the South node, and asked us to release anything that doesn't serve us in the house where we have Scorpio in our charts. And if you don't do it yourself, eclipse season will most definitely do it for you — whether it's releasing a relationship, a job or a mindset that has been getting in the way of your destined paths.

Nov. 8 brings a lunar eclipse in Taurus, which is more intense than the last eclipse — not only because it's also happening during spooky Scorpio season, but also because of its conjunction to the North node, Uranus (which is the planet of surprises) and its hard-aspecting opposition to the South node and personal planets, Mercury and Venus (planets of communication, love and money). This will rush in to suddenly open up a new chapter in our lives, specifically in the house in which we have Taurus in our charts.

In other words: C-H-A-O-S.

Still, with rulers Pluto and, traditionally, Mars, Scorpio season (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) is the sexiest time of the year, and every Scorpio will have that be known. Scorpios are famously fashionable (Anna Wintour, Calvin Klein, Kendall Jenner, Alexa Chung and Lauren Hutton are just a few of the industry's Scorpio stars) and here at Fashionista, there are not one, not two, but three Scorpios on staff, including the person editing this (ed note: it's me, Dhani), so it's very much our time to shine.

With the holidays coming up and birthdays in full swing, I've compiled a gift guide to commemorate the allure, magic and sensuality in the air. (Scroll all the way through to see a few supplemental picks by our in-house Scorpios Dhani, Ana and Liza, as well.)
