Welcome Scorpio season, from October 23 to November 22! Expect changes in feelings, love and mind your soapboxing...
I promised myself that I would use the word “hobgoblin” in this article, not only because Halloween is coming up, and not only because it’s an inherently funny word that needs more usage, but also because we are entering spooky Scorpio, our most strange, dark, and witchy sign. In other words, we now begin a season of occultism and hobgoblins. But why?
To answer this, we must understand something called the 8th House. In astrology, there are 12 houses, just as there are 12 signs. Importantly, each sign corresponds to a house. So, for example, ego-centric Aries correlates to the 1st House . Chatty and mutable Gemini, likewise, is associated with the 3rd House . Makes sense.
Scorpio is connected to the 8th House, whose themes involve sex, death, intimacy, debt, taxes, the occult, taboos. It’s a house of transformation, of metaphysical witchery, of intense passions. It’s a site of psychic insight, hidden plots, supernatural beings and intuition, and erotic longing. It’s astrology’s haunted house, traversed by eldritch spirits and forces.
For those inclined toward astrology, Scorpio season helps explain why things like Halloween or Dios de los Muertos have emerged culturally around this time of year. From an astrological perspective, our annual yen for dressing up as hobgoblins and sexy nurses is really a function of deeper cosmic alignments with the erotic and supernatural energies of Scorpio and the 8th House.
While Scorpio season provides the general structure to the next month, we should, of course, course keep in mind that there are important transits within it that will also be impacting us in smaller ways. To wit:. That’s a mouthful. Usually, Full Moons signify celebration and bounty, especially when placed in earthy, stable Taurus. But this transit is slightly different.
