Now that the Sun is in Scorpio (it moved there last Wednesday, Oct. 23, I can feel an edgy intensity in the air. Can you?

Scorpio has a serious dark side — it’s a secretive sign that’s all about probing and passion and jealousy and trying to figure out the truth about life’s mysteries.

Of course, it’s also a deeply loving sign, but those feelings often remain buried beneath Scorpio’s mysterious demeanor.

And of course it’s no coincidence that the most mysterious holidays — Halloween, All Saints Day and Day of the Dead — all occur while the Sun is in Scorpio. They say the veil to the otherworld is thinner during this time, which only adds to the mystery and intensity of these holidays.

Don’t forget, Mercury is also retrograde in Scorpio right now, which slows us down and turns our thoughts inward, too.

All told, we should gear up for an extra introspective period of time from now until November 21. Ideally, you can use this as an opportunity to explore your spiritual side, seek answers and … well, OK, it’s also a great time for sex.

Yep, I said it. Scorpio is one of the most passionate signs! So while they may not be willing to reveal their feelings verbally, they’re more than happy to show you how they feel in the bedroom.

Scorpio is such a complicated mix of hot and cold, light and dark, secrets and intimacy … you almost need a guide to getting through Scorpio season. And hey, check it out, I found one!
