Scorpio season runs from roughly October 22 to November 22 and is most notorious for housing the pagan festival of Samhain. Halloween then originates with Samhain, celebrated on November 1. The association with death comes from the fact that the night-time hours in the northern hemisphere begin to become more than the daylight hours at this time of the year.
Scorpio Season Meaning
The Sun gets lower in the sky day by day. The nights are drawing in. There will be a celebration of the harvest that will see us through the long, cold winter months. But if the harvest was bad, then you could starve to death. So this time of the year was very much about life and death. It’s no wonder the sign of Scorpio is associated then with sorcery, death and transformation. Most of what applies to this time of the year is covered in The spiritual meaning of Halloween.
Scorpio Crystals & Colours
Crystals that resonate well with Scorpio energy will be stones that are associated with Scorpio’s ruling planet Mars but also the element of water. So Scorpio crystals are Snakeskin Agate, Bloodstone, Garnet, Ruby, Aquamarine, Malachite, Tourmaline, Obsidian and Peridot.
Scorpio Mars energy is totally different than Aries Mars energy. The raw, wild side of Aries is refined in Scorpio, but it can be much more cunning. Mars is classed as a malefic planet, but with Scorpio you may not see that as any malignancy might be cloaked or disguised. The red colour associated with Mars is not a bright red. It is a cooler red, sometimes purple becoming richer and darker. So mahogany, burgundy, crimson and blood red are Scorpio’s colours. Black, dark blue and graphite grey are also given to Scorpio.
Scorpio Herbs & Flowers
Scorpio has a fermented and spicy energy so a blend that includes some of these aromas: allspice, ginger, myrrh, patchouli, clove and cumin would appeal to the Scorpio senses. Herbs, fruits and flowers of Scorpio would include the Pomegranate, Anemone, Ivy, Valerian, Basil, Blackberry, Heather, Lily and Geranium. The Scorpio flavoured gods and goddesses are all very obviously connected with the underworld. So we have the dark goddesses Ereshkigal, Hekate, Isis and Persephone. Gods are Anubis, Mars, Osiris, Set and Pluto.
How Scorpio Season Affects Each Zodiac Sign
One size does not fit all, and Scorpio season will be better for some signs than others. Check out my “How DOES astrology work?” post to explain why this is. We all have our different ‘Achieve, Receive and Recycle’ periods, so some of the signs will have more going on than others in certain months.

Scorpio season could be the best or worst time of the year, depending on whether you made a friend or foe in Libra season. The 8th house is a spooky Halloween zone. But there may be nothing to receive here at all if you have been a nasty little ram. Just a slap in the face. Ouch!

Leo In Scorpio Season
Scorpio Season is your least active, active month. You want to be close to home. But you can put energy into that come. It’s all about protection and fortification with Scorpio in the 4th house. If you were a medieval king, I would say invest in a moat. But you are not, so I won’t. Instead, build a porch.
