It’s Scorpio season!

Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac, and that shouldn’t be taken lightly—nor should Scorpios! Those born under this sign are dead serious in their mission to learn about others.

There’s no fluff or chatter for Scorpios, either; these folks will zero-in on the essential questions, gleaning the secrets that lie within.

The Scorpio zodiac sign concerns itself with beginnings and endings, and is unafraid of either. They also travel in a world that is black and white and has little use for gray. The curiosity of Scorpios is immeasurable, which may be why they are such adept investigators.

The folks with a Scorpio horoscope sign love to probe and know how to get to the bottom of things. The fact that they have a keen sense of intuition certainly helps.

Alive in both a Scorpio woman or Scorpio man, those born with the Scorpion as their rising, sun, or moon sign have a mysterious, intuitive, and power-wielding dynamic in the core of their personality, an echo of the shadowy Autumn season.

As a fixed sign, Scorpio holds the qualities of being a sustainer, being able to apply profound powers of concentration to projects, and discovering hidden truths. As a result, those with the sign of the Scorpion prominent in their charts tend to be magnetic, highly sensitive, intuitive, creative, and secretive at times.

Surprising messages come as Mercury faces off with Uranus, the planet of the unexpected on Saturday at 10:56 A.M. While much of this week’s astrology is eager to plan and have structure, there are some things that throw us for a loop and give us more wiggle room and grace.

Aries

You’ve been moving through difficult emotional terrain, Aries. This time of the year tends to find you in a transformative state — one where you’re asked to stare into your own shadow and extract any emotional poisons that plague you on a partnership level. Thursday’s skies see the arrival of the first quarter moon in gregarious Aquarius, highlighting the divide between your intimate relationships and your larger sense of community.

Taurus

This time of the year has you fully immersed in your close relationships, Taurus. Single or taken, you’re diving deep into your experience of emotional give and take in this all-important terrain. Thursday’s skies welcome the arrival of the first quarter moon in future-oriented Aquarius, illuminating the current divide between your relationship needs and the current changes waiting to be taken in your career approach.

Gemini

You’ve been all work and no play lately, Gemini. Scorpio season has you fully focused on untangling the knots in your current job landscape as you work to become more organized and get your health back on track. Thursday’s skies witness the arrival of the first quarter moon in progressive Aquarius, highlighting the changes to be made between your existing day job and achieving your larger life plans.

Cancer

The universe is nudging you to get closer to the needs of your heart, Cancer. Scorpio season asks you to be vulnerable enough to be creative, inhabit a stage of your choosing, and explore your sexuality in a new light. Thursday’s skies show you changes to be made in your relationship approach, as the first quarter moon in future-oriented Aquarius illuminates the divide between sheer romance and mature commitments.

Leo

As a Leo, it’s unusual for you to be in circumstances where your radiant light doesn’t automatically shine. This time of the year tends to find you deep underground, exploring ancient emotional material concerning family issues and your home environment. Thursday’s skies work to highlight important changes to be made between your childhood upbringing and your current relationship story as you become more aware of how the past colors the present.

Virgo

Thursday’s skies encourage change-making and action-taking, Virgo. The first quarter moon emerges in progressive Aquarius, highlighting the current gap between your mental world and your physical one. It’s important that you get your story told this time of year, especially to free up headspace and provide you with an outlet. Take a good look at your exercise routine, diet, and work/life balance to see where changes are waiting to be made.

Libra

This time of the year has you juggling a lot, Libra. Scorpio season asks you to examine feelings surrounding your self-worth in a fresh light as you work to acknowledge your natural skills and bring them to fruition. Thursday’s skies witness the first quarter moon in Aquarius, which illuminates the divide between your raw natural skills and your ability to bring them onto a stage of your choosing.

Scorpio

All eyes are on you this time of year, Scorpio. You’re knee-deep in the process of re-structuring your sense of identity and independence as you begin to redefine yourself in a new capacity. Thursday’s skies usher in the first quarter moon in solutionfinding Aquarius, illuminating the current divide between who you’ve been in the past and who you’re becoming for your future.

Sagittarius

Let it all fall down around you, Sagittarius. Even if it’s frightening in the moment, it’s critical that you embrace a renewal-focused mindset. This time of the year finds you moving through a shedding phase, one that requires ample privacy and peace to make solid sense of. Thursday’s skies welcome the first quarter moon in progressive Aquarius, illuminating what needs changing between your mental health and self-defeating patterns.

Capricorn

As a Capricorn, you’re here to choose one of the most daunting goals you can dream of and see it through fearlessly. Scorpio season currently has you deeply re-evaluating your list of aspirations and experience of community. Thursday’s skies usher in the first quarter moon in solution-seeking Aquarius, bridging the gap between your sense of confidence in your abilities and your largest dreams into full focus for deeper contemplation.

Aquarius

Career matters are all important during this time of year, Aquarius. Whether you’re re-evaluating your current trajectory or climbing up a steady path, you’re intended to be untangling any knots in this arena. Thursday’s skies momentarily pull you out of this focus as the first quarter moon emerges in your sign. This lunation highlights the current divide between your career demands and independent needs.

Pisces

The universe is pushing you to re-examine some long-held misconceptions you’ve been clinging to, Pisces. Scorpio season is all about pushing the boundaries for you as you explore new travel options, educational pursuits, and comfort zone breaking opportunities. Thursday’s skies usher in the first quarter moon in solution-seeking Aquarius, which shines a revealing light on self-defeating patterns that need better dismantling.
