With the start of the Scorpio season taking place at the start of next week, Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan explains what it means for each star sign

This week is full of watery energy as the cosmos greets us at the door of Scorpio season. We first have Mercury enter the mysterious sign on October 22, followed by the Sun on October 24, and we may experience the scorpionic energy as depths of truth and extreme feelings. Over the next few weeks, superficial conversations and numbing our emotions would not be the best way to spend our energy.

Scorpios are gifted and energetic beings who can read between the lines and let their feelings intuit the truth. With the support of Saturn in Pisces, the feeling aspects of these transits are heightened, and there is wonderful support from our intuition to move forward in the direction that best serves us. While things can feel intense at times, especially when emotions run high, there is an unquestionable gift during Scorpio season–to trust our instincts and uncover the truth behind secrets.

From now until the Full Moon on October 29, we are deep in a two-week eclipse window. Eclipse seasons are known for their ability to stir up karma and accelerate our spiritual path. We may notice the return of old stories and hurts from the past, which is simply the universe’s way of showing us what is ready for healing. Our best bet during this time is to relinquish control and go with the natural flow of life.

The week by rising sign

Aries 
Intensities ahead as secrets are revealed and emotions run high. Notice how certain unhealthy habits of yours are distracting you from handling matters of intimacy and power. 

Taurus
You’re finding joy in relating to others, especially through one-on-one conversations. True connection between people is found when we’re not afraid to dig deeper than the surface level. 

Gemini
Get deep in honing your crafts and practicing skills that you value. Trust that when you take pride in your work, the effort does not go unnoticed. 

Cancer
Your intuition is stronger now than ever—express your deep feelings with someone you feel safe with. Play and pray; let joy be your means of devotional worship. 

Leo
A lot might be happening at home–secrets may be revealed that are ultimately for the greater good of all. Although scary at times, trust that the truth is what sets us free. 

Virgo
You’re extra sensitive about what people around you need now. Enjoy the busyness of socialising but remember to manage your energy well. 

Libra
Focus on that which supports you in truly loving and accepting yourself. It’s not the end of the world if you need to take a pause and spend time alone. 

Scorpio
It’s time to focus on yourself. Internal shifts that are related to your thought processes are happening, so keep speaking your mind and don’t run from the truth.  

Sagittarius
You’re capable of navigating extra depths this month, whether emotionally or subconsciously. It’s okay to take time out to process the changes you experienced. 

Capricorn
You’re shining within your community this month. You have the ability to understand your friends better now, so allow this transit to deepen your connection with them. 

Aquarius
Allow yourself to be more practical this month, especially when it comes to your career and money matters. There’s increased attention placed on you both at work and at home. 

Pisces
Find out more about yourself by taking a leap of faith and daring to do something different. Rid your world of the mundane and all superficiality.
