Scorpio Horoscope October 2021

Dear Scorpio, the Scorpion, your birthday is coming and you will be hosting one of you rulers, Mars, The Planet of Action!  Then Mercury enters your sign.  Before we get ahead of ourselves, Mercury is retrograde in your 12th house of Self-Undoing.  Investigator Scorpio, what is it that is not serving you any longer?  This will be the theme for you in October.  It will be a time to let go and heal.  Scorpio, you hold on, you’re a fixed sign, and sometimes you hold onto things, relationships, jobs for too long.  Let’s Follow the Planets…

You are a natural investigator Scorpio, reading into situations and getting to the core of the matter.  You are a passionate sign and you can get obsessed with situations.  Fixated on figuring something out.  Well Scorpio, it would do you good to let go.  This is one of your learning lessons in life, there is a gray area!  You are all or nothing at all.  That is your nature, but that’s not how the world functions.  At what point do you need to realize when a situation is pulling you down?  Are you giving too much of yourself and not receiving in return what you deserve?  Are you all in, but they are not?  The ultimate energy here is to heal.  When you make the effort to let go and heal, this will open you up to what you want for yourself with the planets then moving into your sign.

Plus your ruler Pluto goes direct on October 7th in your House of Communications.  He moves the slowest of all planets, so he will be back up to speed by the end of the month.  He will be transforming your communications into a whole new you.  Use this communication transformational energy at the end of the month when the other planets are in motion so you can move forward in the ways you want to.

All of October, Mars, your co-ruler, and the Sun are traveling side by side.  Until October 18th, Mercury is retrograde.  All of these planets are in your house of self-undoing.  They are in Libra, making the theme be about balancing.  These two go just so well together Scorpio...realizing something about yourself that is out of balance.  With a strong Take Action Energy with the Sun and Mars together, but yet Mercury retrograde in this same area, what do you do?  You take action in going within, take action in healing, take action in reviewing, researching, re-doing, being the investigator you are to take action in letting go of that which no longer serves you.  A toxic relationship, a way you communicate, a drug, a drink, a way of functioning that is doing you more harm than good.  The Sun is shining on this area of your life.  Mars wants you to take action.  Mercury wants you to go within and think about it.  Go back to a psychologist you saw before, go back to a way of healing that worked for you before, read over books that were effective in healing.  When Mercury goes direct on the 19th and picks up speed by the 25th, you are set to move forward with what you have learned.  Mercury will be here until November 4th when he moves into your sign, so you have this time to let go, heal and balance your energy.

October 6th - New Moon in Libra at 13 Degrees - This is a new beginning, but with Mercury retrograde, it’s best to go back and re-start something from before.  This is in the same area of healing, so where in your life you need healing is what needs to be addressed.  You may have tried before, now is the time to try again.  You’ve got Mars right there giving you support to take action in healing that which needs to be healed.  Start new again with a therapist you saw in your past.  Start new again the ways you were treating your drama before.  We’ve got a lot of fire energy here as well as water.  Libra is Air, so this is more balanced.  We don’t have Earth energy here, so this grounding is what you need.  How will you get grounded Scorpio?  You are a very secretive sign, so getting one on one, private and professional guidance is something that will work for you best.  Sounds like a psychologist to me.  You could also get a tarot card reading or speak with a psychic.  With Mercury retrograde, it should be one you worked with in the past, not a new one.

October 11th - Saturn turns direct at 6 Degrees Aquarius - Giving us Earthlings a final chance to learn something.  He moves slowly giving you ample opportunity for this tough learning lesson.  You’ll have until around January 19th to move on as he will enter untouched degrees at this point of time and space.  This is about your home life.  There could be new limitations in some way in this area of home.  It could be with your parents or children or something within the home that needs boundaries defined.  It is a time to have structure around your home, have a plan, get things in order using discipline.  You could use your home for your career in some way.  It’s a time to think innovatively, use science and technology to help you advance your goals with your home and family.

October 18th - Jupiter turns direct at 22 Degrees Aquarius - Giving you a last opportunity to expand in an area you’ve been trying to but have felt held back.  Perhaps you needed to wait it out, it is all about timing.  Jupiter wanted you to review this area of home life and now this is the final lesson to learn until January 12th when he enters new degrees in Pisces.  What are you learning about anything related to domestic life?  You could be learning more about mortgages, loans, how to renovate your home, learning to work with contractors to expand your property.  You could be thinking of buying another home to rent out.  You may be bringing in new members of the family, like having a baby to expand your home or your mom or dad come live with you.  

October 20th - Full Moon in Aries at 27 Degrees - Something coming to an end in how you function each day with the full moon.  Something has come to an accumulation or something is exposed in how you organize your day to day activities.  Perhaps an exercise class is ending that you regularly took.  Something in your work day is ending like a regularly scheduled meeting is now switched to a different day or week or with different people.  Something at work could also be exposed, like someone leaving, a secret affair or employees disagreements coming to a head.

October 23rd - Sun moves into Scorpio - And now your Birthday Month Begins!  The Almighty Sun, The Giver of Life, is shining his rays on your energy Scorpio!  Now that you’ve done the work of cleaning out the trunk of baggage, you are free to be fresh and new.  Change your appearance, get a new hairstyle, do something you’ve always wanted to do.  Now that you’ve taken a load off your shoulders, create a new attitude, and a new way to present yourself when you walk into a room.  This is about your identity.  What is it that is part of you?  Is there something that you let go of that you now have room to make new of?  Have you always wanted to learn something and never have done it?  This could become part of your new identity.  Some examples are being a health activist, becoming part of an animal rights group, being an avid cook, joining a fitness group like Crossfit as they are intense like you, you see, something that you are passionate about that’s new.  

October 30th - Mars moves into Scorpio - If you haven’t taken action yet, now is the time...Happy Halloween!!!  You get to host your co-ruler Mars, The Planet of Action.  By now, Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter are in motion as well as Mercury.  Mars is about physical expression and what you do with your body throughout the day.  It’s a great time to take action with all of what you learned when going inward as well as what you’ve learned in therapy or through books or whatever it was you were able to let go of, heal and move on from.  Be you, know your identity, make a presentation, have the right attitude and show your personality.  Hosting Mars is a birthday gift to you from the Universe no matter what day you're born Scorpio!
