Scorpio season: a radiant sun beneath the Scorpio constellation in the Lunar Haus style

Scorpio season is the stretch of the year when the Sun travels through Scorpio. Here is when it happens in 2026, what its energy feels like for everyone, and how to make the most of it.

When is Scorpio season in 2026?

In 2026, Scorpio season runs from 23 October to 21 November, the roughly thirty days the Sun spends in Scorpio. The dates shift by about a day from year to year. Here in Australia it falls in spring. You can find the Sun’s sign, and your own, any time with our birth chart calculator.

The energy of Scorpio season

Scorpio season takes us into the depths. Ruled by Mars and Pluto, it is intense, honest and transformative, a time to look beneath the surface, face what you have avoided, and release what is ready to go. It is powerful, private and deeply healing.

How to make the most of Scorpio season

Go inward and be honest. Journal, rest, and gently face what you have been avoiding. It is a powerful season to release an old fear, habit or hurt. Match a ritual to any night with our moon phase tool.

Who feels Scorpio season most?

Everyone feels Scorpio season, but it lands most personally for Scorpio suns, who are in their birthday season and a kind of personal new year, a powerful time to set intentions. Taurus suns feel it most across their relationships, since Scorpio sits opposite their sign. To see how the season touches your own chart, find your sun, moon and rising with our birth chart calculator.

A gentle note

Astrology is a tradition for reflection, not a forecast of fixed events. Read the seasons as a gentle rhythm to move with, taking what feels true and leaving the rest. Next comes Sagittarius season; explore all twelve signs in our zodiac and astrology hub.
