Your Survival Guide to Scorpio Season Is Finally Here
Welcome to Scorpio season, creeps. It's the spookiest, sexiest, most controversial time of year. Running from October 23 to November 22, Scorpio season is Halloween time, Election Day, and the birthdays of millions of Scorpios hiding in dark corners of the world with their stingers poised to strike. Like Cancer and Pisces, Scorpio is a water sign. Water is the element that rules emotions, and Scorpio has plenty of them. Scorpios are intense, mysterious, brooding, emotional, and sexual creatures who are not afraid to use their stinger. If you have dated one or are one, you already understand that there is nothing chill at all about this sign. Even the most evolved Scorpios can still fall into a fit of jealousy over an ex's Instagram post. They are also, however, loyal, honest, and typically fantastic in bed.
Even if you aren't a Scorpio, you have this sign somewhere in our chart, as we each contain bits of all 12 signs. A Scorpio will shred you to pieces or retreat into hiding if you make them feel unsafe, but if they deem you trustworthy, they will be the fiercest, most loyal and fun friend that ever existed. During this season, we all get a taste of the venom. Here's what you need to know to not only survive Scorpio season but come out on the other side thriving with a few kinky stories to share.
Embrace rebirth.
Scorpio is a fixed sign. This quality can make them stubborn, resentful, and capable of holding a grudge for years. However, it's also why they are so loyal and determined. Despite their fixed nature, no sign does a comeback like a Scorpio. They can go through a breakup, career change, and even life and death situations and come out on top — and somehow even hotter.
Beware of paranoia.
Each sign is represented by a card in the tarot, and Scorpio is the Death card. This doesn't mean literal death, rather a very dramatic makeover. It's also fitting that their season is during autumn when nature is shedding its leaves and getting ready for a rebirth of its own. If you are healing from a breakup or other big life change, Scorpio season is the perfect time to debut a new makeover and remind the world that you are more fabulous than ever. Take your time, heal in your own way, and then put on the most epic Halloween costume and have more fun than you have in ages.
Worship sex.
They say that sex is rebellion against death, and no one knows this better than a Scorpio. If like so many people you feel shame or embarrassment around your sexuality, this is the time to work through your desires. During Scorpio season (and all year round), remember that sex is an expression of love. This doesn't mean you have to be in love with every person you sleep with, but it does mean that you take sex seriously. Yes, it's still fun, but it's a celebration of life and an acceptance of pleasure — and it's nothing to feel ashamed over. In the spirit of rebirth, try a new sexual fantasy alone or with someone you trust.
Investigate wisely.
Scorpios are the detectives of the zodiac. They make excellent journalists, therapists, and researchers. If you are dating a Scorpio, they likely know not only your entire birth chart but the birth chart of your three most recent exes. Scorpio season has us all digging for deeper truths. In the mind of someone with this sign, there is no point in small talk. They want to get to the bottom of everything.
Nothing will feel shallow during this season. It's a great time for the infamous "What are we?" talk, so get ready to be DTR (down to relationship). Keep your mind open and accepting when it comes to realizations about yourself and your own personal motives. While digging deep can add more intimacy to our relationships, beware of paranoia. You may find a good mood ruined because you started social media stalking and came up with a thousand different narratives in your head. Meditate to stay grounded and try and limit time on social media. Nothing and no one is perfect, even though it's true that sometimes it's easier to think bad thoughts than good ones. This Scorpio season, your greatest task is to accept love.
