Scorpio Season 2026
October 23 – November 22
The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23, 2026, and stays until November 22. Scorpio season is always about depth, truth and transformation — and this year it arrives with Venus and Mercury both retrograde, a Full Moon in Taurus and a New Moon in Scorpio. Here is the full calendar and what it means for your sign.
Scorpio Season 2026: Key Dates
What Scorpio Season Brings
Scorpio is a fixed water sign, traditionally ruled by Mars and, in modern astrology, by Pluto. Its season invites everyone to go below the surface: to be honest about what we feel, what we want and what we are ready to release. It is the time of year when half-measures feel unsatisfying and real conversations become easier.
In practice, Scorpio season is good for research, therapy, deep work, financial planning, closing chapters and strengthening trust. It is less suited to small talk and superficial commitments.
Scorpio season asks one thing: tell the truth — first to yourself, then to the people who matter.
Why Scorpio Season 2026 Is Different
A double retrograde. For most of the season, both Venus and Mercury are retrograde (October 24 to November 14). Love, money and communication are in review mode. Expect old conversations, past relationships and unfinished business to return — not to trap you, but to be completed. Our Venus retrograde 2026 guide explains this in detail.
The Taurus–Scorpio axis is active. The Full Moon in Taurus on October 26 lights up the opposite sign, highlighting the balance between security (Taurus) and transformation (Scorpio). What do you need to feel safe, and what are you ready to change?
A reflective New Moon. The New Moon in Scorpio on November 9 happens while Mercury is still retrograde in Scorpio. It is a better moment for private intentions — healing, forgiveness, letting go — than for public launches, which work better after November 14.
Fire in the background. Mars and Jupiter in Leo meet on November 16, adding confidence and ambition at the end of the season. Read more in our Jupiter in Leo guide.
How To Make the Most of Scorpio Season

- Deep focus work and research
- Letting go of habits or relationships you have outgrown
- Journaling, therapy and shadow work
- Jealousy, control and keeping score
- Revenge texts or cutting people off in anger
- Signing contracts before November 14 without a careful review
- Keeping important secrets that affect others
