ARE YOU READY FOR THE DEPTHS OF SCORPIO?
I am personally very excited for Scorpio season! I feel like Scorpio is such a misunderstood sign, much like the planet Pluto, and I too want to learn more as we move through her energy.
There’s a lot going on during this time, including three key retrogrades that began their journey’s during libra season, making this the second path of that journey, and one that I feel, really colours the overall vibe.
Ultimately, Scorpio season is about depth and intensity. Scorpio is a fixed water sign, meaning her waters run so deep, they almost feel infinite! The question diva is, are you ready for the depths of Scorpio?

The New Moon in Libra on 10th October brings a certain depth to the mirror that Libra season was holding up to our lives. It’s how we choose to honour this now, as we prepare to move into Scorpio season, that will make all the difference. What has Libra season been reflecting back to you, queen? And how will you honour the balance and harmony you’ve been building awareness around during this time?

REFLECTING ON THE FIRST PATH IN THIS JOURNEY
Venus’ retrograde in Scorpio began during Libra season (3rd October), and this is where the discomfort started. Venus is arguably at her detriment in Scorpio, and her retrograde here forced us to acknowledge and find understanding of how we navigate our relationships, intimacy, finances, and power dynamics.
Where Venus craves connection without conflict, Scorpio demands depth and intensity. Venus’ retrograde through Scorpio dredges our deepest truths to the surface.
On the 25th October, Venus retrogrades even further, back into Libra, her home sign, where everything feels much more comfortable! But she’s taken everything she brought to the surface with her, and the temptation to gloss over these deep truths is very very real, diva!
Now is the time to tap into Scorpio’s deep courage in order to finish the work that needs to be completed. Speak your truth, have the difficult conversation, be courageous, Venus is in your corner, and so are Libra and Scorpio as well!

On 24th October, Mercury also stations retrograde, in Scorpio. Meaning that for one intense day, we have Mercury, and Venus retrograding through the infinite depths of Scorpio! Mercury, the messenger, loves when logical thought, words and actions align. We already know that Scorpio demands depth and intensity, so naturally she expects nothing less from Mercury when he’s here.
You know the depth of truth Venus dredged up to the surface? Mercury is now excavating everything that needs to be communicated!
A whole 24 hours of Venus and Mercury busy at work dragging up truth and communication from the deepest depths of Scorpio is gonna feel pretty damn intense, queen!
Remember!! Retrogrades are not about action, they are about reflection. Sit with everything that comes up for you today. Observe it, witness it, acknowledge it. There is no need to take action yet! Stillness is all that’s required here.
HONESTY AND COMPASSION
Scorpio’s forcing of us to dive into her depths will serve us greatly in the future, because it is in her depths that we will confront conflict and challenging conversations with compassionate honesty.
This is not about having those conversations just yet, but rather witnessing how we choose to engage with them, and identifying what needs to change within ourselves, and our own default behaviours so that whatever challenges or conflict we perceive and feel, can be resolved in the most effective way for everyone.
Both retrogrades taking place whilst Chiron is also retrograde in Libra’s opposite and sister sign of Aries, adds another layer to these depths. These 111 days of reflecting on our right to exist, and show up, as we truly are, whilst also having to confront fears of betrayal, loss, and abandonment, makes this whole experience even more intense!
The wound of Self (Atman), and our relationship with leadership, freedom, and independence will keep coming up during this time. Notice the things, people, personalities, situations, and conversations that used to trigger you. How did you once react to these triggers? Notice this and then notice how your response to them has alchemised over the last eight years! Give yourself grace and credit here queen!! You have done so much work here, acknowledge that, because this retrograde might feel a bit like “Oh really? We’re doing this?? AGAIN???”. But diva, it’s a moment to reflect, and to give yourself credit where credit is due!

It’s also worth noting that Pluto stations direct on 15th October, after 161 days retrograde in Aquarius. Pluto (much like the sign of Scorpio) is the planet of transformation, deep change, and power. Aquarius is the sign of community, humanitarianism, and challenging traditions. Much like Mercury and Venus’ retrogrades through Scorpio, Pluto has excavated the buried truths of us all, collectively, in terms of power and control, pulling them into the light. Notice how this retrograde has impacted you on a personal level, and how that energy transcends beyond you, to the collective.
Scorpio season officially starts on 23rd October, when the Sun shines a light on the oceanic depths of our emotions, sexuality, and the cyclical nature of our lives as well as the entire universe. Whenever the Sun returns to Scorpio, the journey is almost always one of deep, intense alchemy.
This time however, the journey occurs with Venus and Mercury’s retrogrades in the same sign, shining an even bigger light on the things we typically hide from ourselves and others. This is going to be a month of deep and intense transformation, so strap in diva!!
The Taurus Full Moon on 26th October, highlights how we ground ourselves in the familiar. The light of this Full Moon is bringing transformation to our attention (yeah, more change queen!! You on board yet?) and reminding us that often times, change is here to serve us, even if we don’t recognise that initially. Much like retrogrades, Full Moons are less about taking action with what we’ve learned, and more about reflecting on how we engage with our new found awareness. What have you been resisting? Why is that? Now is the time to sit with it, and observe what’s being brought into the light for you.
