Scorpio season begins on October 23, ushering in the sign of Pluto, symbolized by the scorpion—the zodiac's feared yet fascinating warrior who harbors many secrets. As the most guarded and secretive sign, Scorpios possess a penetrating gaze, seeking to know everything about others while revealing little of themselves. During this season, a tussle between secrecy and truth unfolds, and truth always prevails. The tarot cards offer insight into what truths will be revealed over the next four weeks.
Aries to Cancer: Desires and Endings
Aries (March 21–April 20): The Nine of Cups signifies your heart's desire. You've hidden your true yearning, thinking it off limits or forbidden, but the heart wants what it wants. Admitting it and taking a brave step could lead to a wish fulfilled within nine days.
Taurus (April 21–May 21): The Three of Swords points to a painful betrayal, whether inflicted or received. You've hidden all traces, but facing and processing this wound is necessary for healing.
Gemini (May 22–June 21): The Tower indicates a painful ending or collapse. Scorpio season will reveal a secret that makes walking away easier, confirming your gut instinct.
Cancer (June 22–July 23): The Lovers warns of a recurring temptation. Consider the consequences before proceeding, and align your head with your heart before acting.
Leo to Scorpio: Bonds and Truths
Leo (July 24–August 23): The Two of Cups represents true love and mutual support. You've found 'your person'—in love, creativity, or friendship. Celebrate this bond and make long-term plans.
Virgo (August 24–September 23): The Star reveals the level you'd go to get what you want. You're working behind the scenes, but admitting how much you want it is key; even if it doesn't happen, something will.
Libra (September 24–October 23): The Seven of Swords signals simmering distrust of someone close. Your instincts are up, with mounting evidence over six months. Seek protection and be cautious until the truth emerges.
Scorpio (October 24–November 22): The Empress indicates you've fallen in love with someone or something. Don't hide it; let your love be seen and enjoyed freely, trusting your strength to shield it.
Sagittarius to Pisces: Generosity and New Beginnings
Sagittarius (November 23–December 21): The Six of Coins speaks of generosity and give-and-take. You want support after giving endlessly to others. It's okay to ask for it; there's more goodwill toward you than you realize.
Capricorn (December 22–January 21): The Knight of Wands reflects a need for adventure and spontaneity. You yearn to be wild for once, so treat yourself to a spontaneous adventure this Scorpio season.
Aquarius (January 22–February 19): Justice suggests you've been treated unfairly and seek rebalancing. Don't hide your wound; stand up and seek justice to protect your self-worth.
Pisces (February 20–March 20): The Fool represents a desire to start over. You can change course whenever you wish; consider your ideal destination and the choices that lead there, then head in that direction.
