Scorpio season: what it colors

The Celts placed Samhain here, the festival that opened the dark half of the year, which is compared to All Saints’ Day, the day of the dead, and the eve that became Halloween.

In this period, antiquity associated Scorpio with passage and renewal: agrarian societies saw the earth rest before starting again. In astrological symbolism, the season would be one of intensity, secrecy, and metamorphosis, a pairing that holds mainly for its images and not as a guide to the season.

A reading of the sky to take as food for thought, not to be followed blindly: the dates are calculated, and what tradition associates with them is reported in the conditional, announcing nothing. Why?

Frequently asked questions about Scorpio season

When does Scorpio season begin in 2026?

On Friday, October 23, 2026 at 11:38 AM, Paris time. It ends on November 22, 2026 at 8:23 AM.

When does Scorpio season begin in 2027?

On Saturday, October 23, 2027 at 5:32 PM, Paris time, until November 22, 2027 at 2:16 PM, that is, 29 days and 22 h.

Why does the Sun spend only a few days in the astronomers’ Scorpius?

Because astronomers fixed unequal constellation boundaries in 1930: that of Scorpius is narrow along the line the Sun follows, and the Sun crosses it in a few days. The astrologers’ zodiac, for its part, divides the year into twelve equal parts of thirty degrees, unrelated to those boundaries. The two divisions do not coincide.

What does tradition say about Scorpio season?

It associates it with intensity, transformations, and what is hidden, echoing the festivals of the dead at this time of year. Mars would be its ancient ruler. These correspondences are reported in the conditional, as a repertoire of images, never as a program.
