The Sun moved into Scorpio on 23 October and stays until 22 November 2026. Every year this is the deepest, most honest month of the zodiac. This year it is extra intense: Mercury and Venus are both retrograde for most of it. Here is what that means for you, and how to use it instead of fighting it.

Personal reading · $12What Scorpio season brings
Scorpio is the sign of depth, truth, intimacy and shared money. When the Sun walks through it, small talk feels empty and people want the real thing: real conversations, real feelings, real numbers. Secrets come out. Things that were hidden come to the surface so they can finally be dealt with.
My grandma used to call this "the month of the cellar". You go down, you look at what you stored there all year, and you throw out what has gone bad. It is not comfortable, but the rest of the year is lighter for it.
Mercury and Venus retrograde: double review
Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio from 24 October to 13 November. Messages get crossed, old conversations come back, and plans need a second look. Exes text. Documents need re-signing. Read everything twice before you sign.
Venus is retrograde until 13 November, moving back from Scorpio into Libra. Venus rules love and money, so both get reviewed: old flames, old debts, old spending habits. It is a beautiful time to repair a relationship and a bad time to start an expensive new one.
The good news: both turn direct within the same week, around 13 November. After that, everything you reviewed starts moving forward again.

What it means for your sign
Aries: shared money, debts and intimacy. Sort out who owes what. Taurus: your relationships take centre stage. Someone from the past may want to talk. Gemini: work routines and health. Clean up your schedule. Cancer: romance and creativity. An old love or an old hobby returns. Leo: home and family. A family conversation clears the air. Virgo: conversations and paperwork. Double-check every message.
Libra: money and self-worth. Review your prices and your spending. Scorpio: it is your season. Your birthday month is a reset, but with Mercury retrograde, finish old things before you start new ones. Sagittarius: rest and let go. Sleep, dreams and quiet time matter. Capricorn: friends and plans. Someone you lost touch with comes back. Aquarius: career. A work matter from the past needs closing. Pisces: travel, study and big ideas. A trip may shift, so keep plans flexible.
How to use Scorpio season
- Pick one thing you have been avoiding: a talk, a bill, a feeling. Face it before 13 November.
- Do not start big new things until Mercury and Venus are direct. Review, repair and finish instead.
- On the New Moon of 9 November, write one deep, honest wish. Scorpio wishes are about transformation, so ask to change, not just to have.
