Scorpio Season 2021
The first day of Scorpio season is October 23, 2021. The Sun enters the zodiacal sign of Scorpio and will transit there until Nov 21. Happy birth month to all the Scorpios! But even if you weren’t born during Scorpio season, you might still have a strong Scorpio influence. Anyone with Scorpio placements in their birth chart will really relate to this time of year.
When the Sun moves through this sign in transit, the collective focuses on Scorpio-related subjects. The general energy all around us becomes Scorpion-ic, which is often reflected in the news. Scorpio energy is all about deep emotions related to permanence. This is a fixed water sign, which represents unchanging emotions. Traditionally it is ruled by Mars, which signifies the combative, penetrative energy and fierce will that comes with this sign.
The easiest way to understand this type of energy is through the concept of death. Death is permanent and the pain of it never really goes away. Brutal heartbreak can also feel like death. It’s not surprising that Halloween and Día De Los Muertos happens during Scorpio season. Many Scorpio-heavy people are fascinated with death and relate to goth culture. Scorpio people can also be comfortable with death, work in mortuaries, forensics, or have a spiritual connection to those on the other side.
The archetype of Scorpio had its security and comfort ripped away and things were never the same after that. It’s the essence of anything that leaves emotional scars. This leads to coping mechanisms that assists in avoiding further emotional pain. In the same way a Scorpion has a hard exoskeleton and a stinger for protection and defense, Scorpio-influenced people protect themselves through extreme privacy, perpetual suspicion, and intuitive detective work. Many times this energy can express itself as anger and aggression that stems from emotional pain. Scorpio uses sex for comfort but also wants the security of a profound emotional connection. Intimacy is one of the only things that relieves the pain.
Scorpio is a sleuth that uncovers precious secrets in order to determine if someone is trustworthy. A Scorpio will know everything about you before you know anything about them. Their ability to quickly identify toxicity is impressive. Sometimes Scorpio energy can look like paranoia, danger, emotional recklessness, edginess, and morbidity. Understanding Scorpio helps to better understand those who suffer from emotional scars or have an intimate relationship with death.
Modern astrology associates the sign of Scorpio with Pluto because both represent depth, passion, and the need for control. Modern astrology also associates Scorpio with the 8th house because of the overlapping significations of death and intense spiritual bonds between people. Medical astrology associates Scorpio to the sexual organs, urinary, and excretory systems.
As we go through Scorpio season, pay attention to the Scorpion-ic subjects and symbols that present themselves. When the planetary ruler Mars enters Scorpio on October 30, the intensity of this energy will become even more powerful. Mars will leave Scorpio on Dec 13.
