Overview for this Month: Scorpio (All)
October 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:
The month opens with a Full Moon, dear Scorpio, and there can be a flurry of activity related to work, health, and duties. If you've been neglecting your chores or your health, you might get a wake-up call now. Otherwise, the first three weeks of October are best for winding down, healing, and processing. Mercury's retrograde in your sign from the 13th also suggests some withdrawal and introspection. The 22nd forward is more visible for you, and the 25th is powerful for the very beginnings of a significant new idea.
From the very start of October, you’re awakening to the need to improve your work-rest balance by paying more attention to your need for order in your daily life. In fact, the month holds two Full Moons -- one on the first of the month and one on the last day! The first one brings your attention to deadlines or pressing matters related to work or health. Mars is retrograde in the same sector of your solar chart all month, pointing to the need to review recent strategies and pursuits along these lines.
While some introspection is excellent for you now, you have Venus moving through your social sector from the 2-27, enhancing your appeal and enjoyment of exchanges with others. Friendships or your popularity get a nice boost. You are more willing than usual to accommodate, change, and grow in your interactions, and far less likely to stick with old patterns that are no longer performing. Business income is in better shape. The focus is on equality and positive energy with love, and friends are more supportive.
Your modern planetary ruler, Pluto, turns direct on the 4th, ending an over five-month retrograde cycle. This change of direction brings wake-up, take-charge energy. Issues that have been buried or swept under the rug might emerge. You can finally come to a decision or conclusion about something you've been stewing over for some time. A project can unblock, or news arrives that pushes your studies or a venture forward. With clarity, both your motivation and energy levels take off.
While your ambition for making improvements to your daily routines remains strong, it's not without its complications these days due to retrograde Mars (continuing all month). There can be some frustration if things are not moving swiftly or straightforwardly. You want to up your game with nutrition, health, fitness, and work, but things aren't always flowing. Watch for putting so much effort into a project that consumes most of your attention. If the need to be right, correct, and in control is wreaking havoc and causing unhealthy tension, it's time to ease off some of the unnecessary pressure so that you can better manage your daily affairs and keep your life organized and running smoothly.
The month's energies are useful for getting rid of something you no longer need. Sometimes, it's about turning the other cheek! Either way, it can be liberating. Someone might inspire you, and it's likely mutual. Love and friendship can bring pleasant surprises, or teaming up can bring rewards. Approaching people and relationships differently seems the way to go.
It's also a good time to feed your imagination and pursue creative writing or pursuits that help you express yourself in new ways. Expanding your mind and connecting with others through the mind are in focus.
Falling in love through the power of words is not out of the question. You might find more meaning and purpose through your relationships, creative pursuits, children, or recreation and hobbies. Sharing ideas, personal thoughts, feelings, and memories can figure strongly. Your sense is strong for ideas that have real potential for success in the long term. You may gain clarity about a person's feelings for you.
Mercury transits your sign most of the month, turning retrograde on the 13th. Your voice and curiosity are robust, but there may be the need to look to the past for answers before pushing forward. Watch for talking about something prematurely during the retrograde period. Conversations and interactions can be tricky in spots. Some personal plans may stall, but they also benefit from a period of review. There are times when pausing and allowing your emotions to catch up with your mind can serve you well. As such, delays occurring now can be blessings in disguise.
The 13th gets trickier with the retrograde shift and a Sun-Mars opposition. This can bring your attention to something that's not working in the world of your work, daily routines, or health, or the need to make adjustments and meet deadlines.
The New Moon on the 16th can usher in a fresh start for your relationship with endings and closure, rest, regeneration, and emotional healing. Allowing yourself time to detox, process, and digest is essential. There can be tensions stirred now, particularly on the work front or related to chores, duties, health, and self-care efforts. Social pressures are also on you now. You’ll have to do some juggling, but the primary focus should be on getting your inner world and private life in order.
You can enjoy personal transformation through projects, friendships, and connections in October. You might benefit from a gift or enjoy giving to someone, and this feels great. Enjoying what you have, some indulgence, and getting comfortable can appeal, but it's also an excellent time to grow a business, bank account, or idea. Splurging can be fun but so can reinvesting in something you care about.
The Sun heads into your sign on the 22nd, and you're in great shape for finding yourself. On the 25th, you're likely to see recent decisions or plans in a new light. Mercury moves back into your privacy sector on the 27th, and more rumination is expected. Looking at past projects with fresh eyes can figure strongly now. While the Sun is newly in your sign when this happens, and you have more clout and personal presence, there can be some mystery surrounding you. Decision-making may be particularly challenging if you rush it, but allowing yourself more time works well.
The Full Moon on the 31st can bring excitement or tension to partnerships, negotiations, and agreements. A new perspective on relationships can result. It's a time of surprises as you connect with your true feelings on a project or relationship.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
October 2020 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 22nd:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From October 23rd forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 2nd:
Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.
From October 3-27:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
From October 28th forward:
Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 27th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar first house. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
Mercury is retrograde from October 13th to November 3rd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused.
Occurring in your solar twelfth and first houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to body language and intuition. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. This is a time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with close partners and family members; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from September 9th to November 13th:
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of work, daily activities and routines, and/or health. Events might conspire to slow you down in these areas, forcing you to reassess how you've been managing this part of your life. Frustrations with your daily routine can be part of the picture now. Energy levels may seem low. Mars is your co-ruler, so you may be dealing with issues of image, personal presentation, and physical appearance or health as well.
Occurring in the sector that Mars rules, all of these themes are magnified. See Mars Retrograde for more details.
Note that Mars sticks around this area of your solar chart for much longer than usual–until January 6th, 2021, but is only retrograde here until November 13th.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
October 2020 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 10th:
Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now.

From October 11th forward:

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From October 1-8 and October 19th forward:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
Mercury is retrograde from October 13th to November 3rd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life.

October 2020 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 12th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.
You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From October 13th forward:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.

If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
This month:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
Mercury is retrograde from October 13th to November 3rd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused.
Occurring in your solar twelfth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to privacy matters. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. You might unwittingly reveal something that you'd prefer to keep private. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from September 9th to November 13th:
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of work, daily activities and routines, and/or health. Events might conspire to slow you down in these areas, forcing you to reassess how you've been managing this part of your life. Frustrations with your daily routine can be part of the picture now. Energy levels may seem low. Mars is your co-ruler, so you may be dealing with issues of image, personal presentation, and physical appearance or health as well.
Occurring in the sector that Mars rules, all of these themes are magnified. See Mars Retrograde for more details.
From the 17th forward: Occurring in your solar fifth house during this period, enthusiasm for romance or creative project could wane perhaps due to setbacks or stalling. A relationship with a lover or a child could become more complicated or possibly exhausting. Desires can be hard to read for existing relationships - both yours and those of a lover. There can be a change of heart, or you could be questioning what you've been pursuing in love, and a new approach becomes necessary. There could be waning interest in a hobby or a return to an old one. Some of you could be excessively preoccupied with a love relationship. New initiatives with fifth house matters may appear less exciting, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in fifth house areas of life--creativity self-expression, recreation, children, and romance. Caution and perhaps anxiety or confusion begin to dominate. You might feel less confident, or you could lack motivation now. Watch for pent-up anger, frustration, and passive-aggressiveness with a lover or with your children, if applicable. Refocusing, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now.
Mars will continue to transit these areas of your solar chart for longer than usual–until February 2021 but is only retrograde until November 13th.
Overview Horoscope:
October 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:
The month opens with a Full Moon, dear Scorpio, and there can be a flurry of activity related to work, health, and duties. If you've been neglecting your chores or your health, you might get a wake-up call now. Otherwise, the first three weeks of October are best for winding down, healing, and processing. Mercury's retrograde in your sign from the 13th also suggests some withdrawal and introspection. The 22nd forward is more visible for you, and the 25th is powerful for the very beginnings of a significant new idea.
From the very start of October, you’re awakening to the need to improve your work-rest balance by paying more attention to your need for order in your daily life. In fact, the month holds two Full Moons -- one on the first of the month and one on the last day! The first one brings your attention to deadlines or pressing matters related to work or health. Mars is retrograde in the same sector of your solar chart all month, pointing to the need to review recent strategies and pursuits along these lines.
While some introspection is excellent for you now, you have Venus moving through your social sector from the 2-27, enhancing your appeal and enjoyment of exchanges with others. Friendships or your popularity get a nice boost. You are more willing than usual to accommodate, change, and grow in your interactions, and far less likely to stick with old patterns that are no longer performing. Business income is in better shape. The focus is on equality and positive energy with love, and friends are more supportive.
Your modern planetary ruler, Pluto, turns direct on the 4th, ending an over five-month retrograde cycle. This change of direction brings wake-up, take-charge energy. Issues that have been buried or swept under the rug might emerge. You can finally come to a decision or conclusion about something you've been stewing over for some time. A project can unblock, or news arrives that pushes your studies or a venture forward. With clarity, both your motivation and energy levels take off.
While your ambition for making improvements to your daily routines remains strong, it's not without its complications these days due to retrograde Mars (continuing all month). There can be some frustration if things are not moving swiftly or straightforwardly. You want to up your game with nutrition, health, fitness, and work, but things aren't always flowing. Watch for putting so much effort into a project that consumes most of your attention. If the need to be right, correct, and in control is wreaking havoc and causing unhealthy tension, it's time to ease off some of the unnecessary pressure so that you can better manage your daily affairs and keep your life organized and running smoothly.
The month's energies are useful for getting rid of something you no longer need. Sometimes, it's about turning the other cheek! Either way, it can be liberating. Someone might inspire you, and it's likely mutual. Love and friendship can bring pleasant surprises, or teaming up can bring rewards. Approaching people and relationships differently seems the way to go.
It's also a good time to feed your imagination and pursue creative writing or pursuits that help you express yourself in new ways. Expanding your mind and connecting with others through the mind are in focus.
Falling in love through the power of words is not out of the question. You might find more meaning and purpose through your relationships, creative pursuits, children, or recreation and hobbies. Sharing ideas, personal thoughts, feelings, and memories can figure strongly. Your sense is strong for ideas that have real potential for success in the long term. You may gain clarity about a person's feelings for you.
Mercury transits your sign most of the month, turning retrograde on the 13th. Your voice and curiosity are robust, but there may be the need to look to the past for answers before pushing forward. Watch for talking about something prematurely during the retrograde period. Conversations and interactions can be tricky in spots. Some personal plans may stall, but they also benefit from a period of review. There are times when pausing and allowing your emotions to catch up with your mind can serve you well. As such, delays occurring now can be blessings in disguise.
The 13th gets trickier with the retrograde shift and a Sun-Mars opposition. This can bring your attention to something that's not working in the world of your work, daily routines, or health, or the need to make adjustments and meet deadlines.
The New Moon on the 16th can usher in a fresh start for your relationship with endings and closure, rest, regeneration, and emotional healing. Allowing yourself time to detox, process, and digest is essential. There can be tensions stirred now, particularly on the work front or related to chores, duties, health, and self-care efforts. Social pressures are also on you now. You’ll have to do some juggling, but the primary focus should be on getting your inner world and private life in order.
You can enjoy personal transformation through projects, friendships, and connections in October. You might benefit from a gift or enjoy giving to someone, and this feels great. Enjoying what you have, some indulgence, and getting comfortable can appeal, but it's also an excellent time to grow a business, bank account, or idea. Splurging can be fun but so can reinvesting in something you care about.
The Sun heads into your sign on the 22nd, and you're in great shape for finding yourself. On the 25th, you're likely to see recent decisions or plans in a new light. Mercury moves back into your privacy sector on the 27th, and more rumination is expected. Looking at past projects with fresh eyes can figure strongly now. While the Sun is newly in your sign when this happens, and you have more clout and personal presence, there can be some mystery surrounding you. Decision-making may be particularly challenging if you rush it, but allowing yourself more time works well.
The Full Moon on the 31st can bring excitement or tension to partnerships, negotiations, and agreements. A new perspective on relationships can result. It's a time of surprises as you connect with your true feelings on a project or relationship.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
