Scorpio October 2023 Horoscope: Read Your Monthly Predictions
Read your sign’s 2023 horoscope to see what’s in store for you this year, or check out the Scorpio personality profile.
It’s October, Scorpio, which means that your season starts and all the other signs pretend to be Scorpios, too, even if only through one night of transformative Halloween makeup. Your September horoscope challenged you to prove your maturity within your relationship. And, in between the candy and the costumes, your season also asks you to continue to demonstrate emotional intelligence. This is tested early in the month, when witty Mercury moves into relationship-oriented Libra and your murky 12th House of the Unconscious on Wednesday, October 4. Can you drop the mind games and speak clearly to those closest to you? The more authentic you act, the lower the chance of fallout during the dramatic two eclipses that occur this month.
While the advice above applies to all of your relationships, the stars point the spotlight directly on your friendships when pretty Venus enters organized Virgo and your 11th House of Friendship on Sunday, October 8. This transit reminds you to reach out to your friends, make plans, and put them in your calendar. Stop dancing around a date to get together; go ahead and make it happen. You’re a sign with a lot of feelings, Scorpio, and you always feel better after catching up with your chosen family.
One of your ruling planets, Pluto, lord of the underworld, goes direct in strict Capricorn on Tuesday, October 10, calling you out on any unhealthy communication in your life. Think of drunk text exchanges with your ex, awkward DMs, obsessive social media stalking, whatever your poison is. Pluto retrograde, which you read about in your May horoscope, helped you realize unhealthy habits. Now that the planet is direct, it’s time to cut that crap out.
When your other ruling planet, sexy Mars, enters your sign, Scorpio, on Wednesday, October 11, it’s your healthy communication habits that take front and center. Whether it’s embracing the fact that you have no interest in dating (sex toys are a different matter) or transparency within a romantic relationship, this planetary shift creates a recipe for pleasure. Think soul-bounding sex and bubble baths. Your only assignment is to try to relax and enjoy it. You’re carrying too much stress, Scorpio.
Unfortunately, speaking of stress, you may be one edge around Saturday, October 14, which brings a new moon and solar eclipse in Libra and your heady 12th House of the Unconscious. You’re sleepy and not the best communicator around this time. Just be honest with people about that, and don’t feel guilty about putting off social plans to catch up on sleep. Your birthday season is about to start, as are Halloween parties, and it’s best to get your rest in while you can.
You’re a water sign associated with transformation; you change your mind, and that’s okay.
It’s okay if you want to have a chill year when it comes to birthday parties. Sometimes, Scorpios want to bask in the spotlight. Other years, they prefer to hide inside (with a cake still, of course). You’re a water sign associated with transformation; you change your mind, and that’s okay. When the divine messenger Mercury enters your sign, Scorpio, on Saturday, October 21, it’s important to check in with yourself about how you feel like celebrating (or not) this year. You can always change your mind, but this transit just wants to help you avoid feeling either burnt out or ignored by giving you what you want. And you can’t tell your loved ones what you want until you figure it out.
But regardless of whether you opt for quiet nights with lover(s) or a big, sparkly 90s-themed bash, make sure to acknowledge the start of your season, Scorpio, on Monday, October 23. Happy solar return! Everyone has to give you their full attention now. Well, to be honest, Halloween may steal your thunder for a few days, but it’s mostly still about you. Just know, not to stop you, but to prepare you, that before you go partying for Halloween or your birthday, there’s a drama queen of full moon and lunar eclipse in stubborn Taurus on Saturday, October 28. As a result, there might be bickering around you on this date, as such cosmic events can make people feel petty. But, if you make like an eclipse and act like a drama queen, excusing yourself from any arguments using Scorpio season as an excuse, all you’ll do tonight is have fun and serve looks. And, by the way, since it’s your season, the Pagan name for the holiday we celebrate as Halloween is Samhain, pronounced sow-in). So happy, Samhain, and we’ll see you in November.
