Scorpio Season Is Here—Let the Magic Begin
Scorpio season arrives like a whisper in the dark — powerful, emotional, and unflinchingly honest. Running roughly from October 23 to November 21, this season calls us to dive below the surface, confront what’s hidden, and transform from the inside out.
After the airy movement of Libra season, Scorpio energy invites depth. It asks: What’s real? What’s raw? What’s ready to be reborn?
This is the time of year when veils thin, intuition heightens, and emotional truths demand acknowledgment. With so many planets swimming through water signs — and several retrogrades adding that reflective pull — the cosmos are practically insisting we pause, feel, and heal. This is the season of depth, power, and renewal - join our membership Pillars of the Goddess Moon to work with these energies.
Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, planet of transformation, and Mars, planet of action. Together, they give this season its signature mix of intensity and renewal. It’s about power, yes — but not dominance over others. This is about reclaiming inner power through truth, courage, and emotional honesty.
When you align with Scorpio energy, you’re aligning with the archetype of the alchemist — the one who turns shadow into wisdom, endings into beginnings, and pain into purpose.
Themes for This Season
Emotional cleansing — releasing old stories or attachments
Transformation & rebirth — shedding what no longer fits
Shadow work — embracing the parts of yourself you’ve hidden
Boundaries & empowerment — owning your “yes” and “no”
Mystery & intuition — trusting the unseen
Rituals for Scorpio Season
Here are a few ways to work with the current energies rather than against them. Choose what resonates, and make it your own. Also, check out our Pinterest board created for our Pillars of the Goddess Moon Membership.
1. Water Release Ritual
Water is Scorpio’s element, and it’s a powerful tool for emotional release.
Draw a warm bath or prepare a bowl of water.
Add a few drops of rosemary oil or mugwort for clarity, or toss in black salt to absorb lingering energies.
As you soak (or dip your hands in the bowl), visualize releasing old attachments, fears, or self-doubt into the water.
When you’re ready, whisper:
“I let go of what no longer serves me. I return cleansed, renewed, and whole.”Let the water drain, symbolizing release.
2. Shadow Journal Practice
Scorpio asks us to face what we’ve avoided. Take a quiet evening to write about:
What am I resisting right now?
Where do I feel jealousy, fear, or control creeping in?
What truth am I finally ready to admit to myself?
End your writing by noting one small, loving action you can take to support your healing.
3. Fire Transformation Ritual
Scorpio’s secondary ruler, Mars, gives this season its bold edge. Use that energy for transformation.
Write down one habit, fear, or thought pattern you’re ready to release.
Safely burn the paper (in a fireproof bowl or cauldron).
As the smoke rises, say aloud:
“I transform this energy into strength and purpose.”
4. Crystal Companions
Scorpio season pairs beautifully with:
Obsidian — for shadow work and grounding
Malachite — for transformation and heart healing
Labradorite — for intuition and protection
Carry one with you or place it on your altar as a reminder of your inner resilience.
5. Ancestral Connection
With Samhain and All Souls’ Day near, this is a potent time to honor those who came before.
Light a candle for your ancestors.
Offer a bit of their favorite food or drink.
Sit quietly and thank them for the paths they’ve opened for you.
Scorpio season isn’t here to make things easy — it’s here to make things real. This is your time to dive deep, shed old skins, and emerge renewed. The work may feel intense, but beneath it all lies rebirth, clarity, and empowerment.
So as the nights grow longer and the world turns inward, ask yourself:
What truth am I ready to face? What part of me is waiting to be reborn?
