Scorpio season lands October 23, heralding in the sign of Pluto, the symbol of the scorpion, the feared but fascinating warrior of the zodiac who has no fear… although usually many secrets.
While Scorpios are the most guarded, defensive and secretive sign of the zodiac, their gaze is relentlessly penetrating towards other folk. They will want to know everything about you, if they’re interested, without giving anything away of themselves.
During Scorpio season, there is often a tussle between secrecy and truth. And truth always wins. We know how it ends.
So, what truth will finally be revealed to you over the next four weeks? Read on to discover what the tarot cards have to say.

Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for Scorpio season: Nine of Cups
Meaning: Your heart’s desire.
You have hidden your own true yearning from yourself. Perhaps you thought it was off limits, out of bounds, infeasible, forbidden. But the heart wants what the heart wants and there’s no denying that.
So, let yourself admit what it is (or who it is) you yearn for. If you do, and take a brave step forwards, then this could be a wish fulfilled within the coming nine days. It’s worth it.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for Scorpio season: Three of Swords
Meaning: A painful betrayal.
Whether it is you who inflicted the blow, or who was struck against, this is not a wound you’ve put on display. In fact, you’ve hidden all traces that anything ever happened.
But it did happen. Turn, face, and process this. It’s for your own benefit and healing, it’s necessary and natural to acknowledge the depth of feeling here. Don’t let these heavy emotions drag you down.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for Scorpio season: The Tower
Meaning: A painful ending or collapse.
Something is over. You know it is. But events have not yet conspired to give you the excuse, opening or reason to exit and bring it all down… until now.
Scorpio season will reveal a secret about this situation that makes it 100% easier to walk away without regret or recrimination. Your gut instinct was spot on, get ready to be proven right.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for Scorpio season: The Lovers
Meaning: A recurring or strong temptation to do something you feel you oughtn’t.
Temptation is dangerous, irresistible, chaotic. It can take you places you don’t want to go, so know the consequences of giving into this before you take one more step. If you can pay that price and feel compelled to press ahead, then go. If you cannot, then distract yourself until this passes.
Maybe it’s even a useful pressure test of what you’re willing, and not, to sacrifice for a momentary pleasure or thrill. Examine your feelings, align your head with your heart, and act accordingly.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for Scorpio season: Two of Cups
Meaning: True love and mutual support/alliance.
You have found ‘your person’, be that in love, creativity, friendship or fellowship. Why hide it? It’s real, you can count on them, and this bond will endure whatever life brings.
So lean in and celebrate it, shout about it, make long-term plans, trust them, open up to them, align your lives because you make each other better, somehow. This is the real deal.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for Scorpio season: The Star
Meaning: The level you’d honestly go to to get what you want right now.
It’s pretty far. But you don’t want to look too intense, or committed, or unhinged, so you play it down. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, you are beavering away at maximum pelt to nail down support, help, investment, allies, whatever it is that will make this wish come true.
Admit how much you want it. Just admit it. Even if it doesn’t happen, something will. You can’t avoid disappointment by not looking at desire.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for Scorpio season: Seven of Swords
Meaning: A simmering distrust of someone close to you.
Your spidey senses are up! You feel like there is a shadow game being played around you, and not to your advantage or benefit. This has been brewing for around six months, and you have mounting evidence and a powerful gut feeling.
So, seek protection. Step back. Put up a boundary or barrier. Be cautious. Play safe until you know for sure. The truth will come out soon.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for Scorpio season: The Empress
Meaning: You have fallen in love… with someone or something.
Why hide this? It’s a glorious thing, a wonderful state of being, a part of the human experience that is positive and uplifting. Keeping it a secret won’t guarantee its eternal life or protection.
Everything has to battle the world, the outside forces, even the internal ones. So let your love be seen and enjoyed freely, and trust that you are strong and wise enough to shield it from whatever may hurt it. Let it breathe, let it live. This is a beautiful thing.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for Scorpio season: Six of Coins
Meaning: Generosity and give and take.
You want help, you want support, you want what you feel you almost owed from the endless care and help you have given freely to others. Now, where is yours? It’s okay to feel this way, it’s normal, and you’re not being spiteful or jealous or needy.
Stop thinking like that, stop hiding the yearning you’re feeling for what you want to be offered to you. Ask for it. Talk about it. Confess your feelings. There is more goodwill towards you than you could ever grasp, so start accessing it.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for Scorpio season: Knight of Wands
Meaning: A deep need for adventure and spontaneity.
You’re always labelled as sensible, hardworking, reliable and strong. And it’s great, really it is. But, lord, you yearn to be the wild one for once! Why should you have to plan, check, schedule, pressure test your every move?
You long to just spot an opportunity and chase it full on, without worrying what happens. So, treat yourself this Scorpio season, Cap, to a wild adventure of your own making. Do it.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for Scorpio season: Justice
Meaning: Exactly as the card’s name suggests.
You have a sense that you’ve been treated unfairly. Maybe you even want revenge. You certainly want the scales of justice correcting and rebalancing.
Don’t hide your wound, don’t pretend this is all okay. What you accept now will settle within and change your self worth, your self esteem. If it’s wrong, then say so, stand up and be counted. Stop letting this fester and bother you. Justice is needed. Seek it out.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for Scorpio season: The Fool
Meaning: A deep desire to start over, begin again, get a clean slate.
Maybe you feel trapped, or like you’ve made a mistake, or as though this is not the path you’re meant to tread. You can change course whenever you wish, Pisces. The tools you need are all there in the form of choices you can make, or unmake.
So, think about your destination, your ideal, and then what choices lie between you and that place. And start heading in that direction. No one will stop you, and you don’t need permission.
