Scorpio dates

When is Scorpio season?

Scorpio season usually runs from October 23 to November 21. But the Sun keeps its own clock, and it crosses into Scorpio at a different minute every year. Here is that moment for each year between 1930 and 2050, and for this year in your own time.

Born as the leaves fall, when the veil between worlds grows thin.

What Scorpio season asks of all of us

The leaves fall and the veil between worlds grows thin. Scorpio season takes us under the surface, toward truth, intimacy and the things we usually avoid looking at. It can feel intense, and it is also deeply healing. Whatever you let go of now makes room for something real.

A small ritual

Write down what you are ready to release, then burn it or bury it. Scorpio appreciates a little drama.

Written from the northern hemisphere, where these seasons were first named. South of the equator the weather flips, and the sign keeps its meaning.

Which third of Scorpio are you?

The Sun spends about ten days in each third of a sign. These are the dates for 2026, Greenwich time. Your birthday lives in one of them.

First decanOctober 23 to November 2

Ruled by Pluto

Pluto rules this decan as it rules the sign, with old Mars still standing behind it. Intense, compelling and determined, you commit with your whole being.

Born October 23?
Second decanNovember 2 to November 12

Ruled by Neptune

Neptune gives Scorpio a psychic edge. You read people in an instant, and your intuition borders on the uncanny.

Born November 2?
Third decanNovember 12 to November 22

Ruled by the Moon

The Moon softens the sting. You are fiercely protective of the people you love, and your emotional memory runs deep.

Born November 12?

Born on the edge?

If your birthday is October 22, October 23, October 24 or November 21, November 22, November 23, your Sun sign depends on the year and even the hour you were born. Tap your day to find out which side of the line you landed on.

The Scorpio in you

Scorpio season arrives as autumn deepens and the old festivals of the dead come round again, when the veil feels thin. You are not afraid of what lies beneath. You see straight through small talk, you love with everything or not at all, and you have a rare gift for rising, changed, out of whatever tried to break you.

How common is Scorpio?

In US birth records from 1994 to 2014, 8.15% of babies were born under Scorpio, about 81 in every 1,000. That makes Scorpio number 8 of 12, where 1 is the most common.

Why the dates move

Our calendar counts 365 days, but the Sun takes about 365 days and 6 hours to come back to the same point in the sky. So each year it crosses into Scorpio roughly six hours later than the year before, until a leap day pulls the calendar back into step. That is why the first and last days of every sign can belong to either side.

Between 1930 and 2050, Scorpio season begins as early as October 22, 2048 at 17:42 and as late as October 24, 1931 at 09:15, Greenwich time.
