Overview for this Month: Scorpio (All)
October 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:
Introspection continues this month, and it's helpful, dear Scorpio. You benefit from laying low and reflecting. The Sun and Venus move into Scorpio on the 23rd and Mercury on the 29th, and you emerge from a period of withdrawal and emotional renewal. In the meantime, much is going on behind the scenes.
You tend to keep a lower profile and some emotional distance in the first few weeks of October. It's true that Mercury ends its retrograde on the 2nd, and some matters move forward. However, Mercury moves into your privacy sector on the 10th, and you might defer major decision-making until you feel more confident or in the know. With the Sun and Venus behind your sign until the 23rd, you are reorienting and processing recent events.
There is a lot of both preparatory and wrap-up work to do in the first three weeks of October as you close off a birthday year and begin fresh in the last week of the month. Much of the month, you're a little more withdrawn, sometimes misunderstood, and often contemplative rather than decisive or spontaneous. The Sun and Venus traveling close to one another in your privacy sector to the 23rd suggest that this is largely voluntary and happy for you - you can find a lot of enjoyment living under the radar at the moment! Aim for renewal, new ideas, progress, and lightening your load.
There can be pleasing support coming from unexpected or hidden sources, and you might find a peaceful solution for a problem that was once a seemingly impossible challenge. There can be a new connection or awareness regarding a past relationship. Or, there can be recognition or reward for previous actions.
Pluto's direct turn on the 8th is another step forward: you begin to feel clearer about your direction and personal goals. More clarity is likely to come to your communications, and issues buried or swept under the carpet might emerge now for better handling. You might 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.
There can be epiphanies, realizations, and fruitions occurring with health, well-being, and work around the Full Moon on the 9th. Tired, old methods must go if they aren't working for you! Focus on ways to improve your productivity–it's time to freshen up your daily life– and be sure to listen to your body's signals now.
Still, desires are complex this month with Mars slowing down and then retrograding on the 30th - they're either difficult to fulfill or you're unsure you should pursue them. There continues to be a strong focus on the past, healing, processing, and digesting. Fortunately, you bring fresh energy, an open mind and heart to past problems and your personal relationships.
From the 23rd, you're more visible, and emerging opportunities are more straightforward. Personal magnetism moves up a notch. You pay more attention to individual needs and wants, your image, appearance, and health. Others are especially interested in you.
Living arrangements and conditions are clearer after Saturn turns direct on the 23rd. Organizing your personal life is in fabulous favor. Facing your responsibilities realistically puts you in a solid position to manage them. Take things gradually and enjoy the process of bringing more order and security to your personal space and inner world.
A Solar Eclipse occurs in your sign on the 25th, and it's natural to focus on yourself and your personal plans in its wake. There's an ethereal, fascinating quality to your personality drawing people to you. You are working toward more independence and self-expression that's truer to your nature. You're highly motivated to free yourself in some manner, so take advantage! Resources are likely to reveal themselves.
You regain your voice after Mercury returns to your sign on the 29th. Your interest in some projects you've put on a shelf reignites.
Mars retrograde from the 30th requires re-examining your more profound wants and desires--much is going on under the hood. Managing fears, desires, or shared money matters can be a theme. Lending and borrowing may not bring desired results at this time. However, this retrograde cycle, lasting from October 30th to January 12th, is a great time to do catch-up work and look to the past for important things you missed. You may, in fact, see value in past projects (and possibly even relationships). Whether or not to revive them is a trickier matter. Watch for attraction to impractical ventures, both financial and emotional in nature.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
October 2022 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2022
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.
Eclipses
A partial Solar Eclipse occurs on October 25th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar first house, suggesting a new approach to your personal life, the manner in which you come across to others, and the way you assert yourself. A focus on ways to improve or enhance your appearance and mannerisms may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to how you assert your needs and express yourself to others.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your own needs. It's a very powerful time for you--a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself.
This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others.
However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 22nd:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From October 23rd forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury ends its retrograde on October 2nd: Information unclogs and delays lift in the weeks following Mercury’s direct turn.
Until October 10th:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
From October 10-29:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
From October 29th forward:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others.
Mars turns retrograde on October 30th, and will be retrograde until January 12th, 2023:
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 your solar eighth house during this date range, enthusiasm for intimate and sharing matters, in general, may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Intimate matters may become more intense and complicated. Joint financial projects or initiatives may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in personal ways. A lover or yourself may especially intense or obsessive. Ambiguity with finances, particularly debts and shared money or resources, could dominate now. There can be the magnification of fears and phobias, unexplored desires, and addictions now. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended. You could be exploring anger and assertion over deeply buried matters, and learning to better manage your life on an emotional level.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
October 2022 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2022
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.
Eclipses
A partial Solar Eclipse occurs on October 25th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar twelfth house. This indicates a new approach to the ways you handle your inner world, the ways you compassionately serve others, and the manner in which you handle guilt. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging your spiritual and, in effect, physical "batteries".
Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other's needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. These themes will be with you for the next six months.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until October 7th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
From October 7-31:
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
Mercury ends its retrograde on October 2nd: Information unclogs and delays lift in the weeks following Mercury’s direct turn.
Until October 17th:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 13th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house.

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.

A partial Solar Eclipse occurs on October 25th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar twelfth house. This indicates a new approach to the ways you handle your inner world, the ways you compassionately serve others, and the manner in which you handle guilt. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging your spiritual and, in effect, physical "batteries".
Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other's needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. These themes will be with you for the next six months.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 15th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
From October 15th 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
Mercury ends its retrograde on October 2nd: Information unclogs and delays lift in the weeks following Mercury’s direct turn.
Until October 23rd:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
From October 23rd forward:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars energizes your solar eighth house now. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.
Mars turns retrograde on October 30th, and will be retrograde until January 12th, 2023:
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 your solar eighth house during this date range, enthusiasm for intimate and sharing matters, in general, may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Intimate matters may become more intense and complicated. Joint financial projects or initiatives may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in personal ways. A lover or yourself may especially intense or obsessive. Ambiguity with finances, particularly debts and shared money or resources, could dominate now. There can be the magnification of fears and phobias, unexplored desires, and addictions now. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended. You could be exploring anger and assertion over deeply buried matters, and learning to better manage your life on an emotional level.
Overview Horoscope:
October 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:
Introspection continues this month, and it's helpful, dear Scorpio. You benefit from laying low and reflecting. The Sun and Venus move into Scorpio on the 23rd and Mercury on the 29th, and you emerge from a period of withdrawal and emotional renewal. In the meantime, much is going on behind the scenes.
You tend to keep a lower profile and some emotional distance in the first few weeks of October. It's true that Mercury ends its retrograde on the 2nd, and some matters move forward. However, Mercury moves into your privacy sector on the 10th, and you might defer major decision-making until you feel more confident or in the know. With the Sun and Venus behind your sign until the 23rd, you are reorienting and processing recent events.
There is a lot of both preparatory and wrap-up work to do in the first three weeks of October as you close off a birthday year and begin fresh in the last week of the month. Much of the month, you're a little more withdrawn, sometimes misunderstood, and often contemplative rather than decisive or spontaneous. The Sun and Venus traveling close to one another in your privacy sector to the 23rd suggest that this is largely voluntary and happy for you - you can find a lot of enjoyment living under the radar at the moment! Aim for renewal, new ideas, progress, and lightening your load.
There can be pleasing support coming from unexpected or hidden sources, and you might find a peaceful solution for a problem that was once a seemingly impossible challenge. There can be a new connection or awareness regarding a past relationship. Or, there can be recognition or reward for previous actions.
Pluto's direct turn on the 8th is another step forward: you begin to feel clearer about your direction and personal goals. More clarity is likely to come to your communications, and issues buried or swept under the carpet might emerge now for better handling. You might 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.
There can be epiphanies, realizations, and fruitions occurring with health, well-being, and work around the Full Moon on the 9th. Tired, old methods must go if they aren't working for you! Focus on ways to improve your productivity–it's time to freshen up your daily life– and be sure to listen to your body's signals now.
Still, desires are complex this month with Mars slowing down and then retrograding on the 30th - they're either difficult to fulfill or you're unsure you should pursue them. There continues to be a strong focus on the past, healing, processing, and digesting. Fortunately, you bring fresh energy, an open mind and heart to past problems and your personal relationships.
From the 23rd, you're more visible, and emerging opportunities are more straightforward. Personal magnetism moves up a notch. You pay more attention to individual needs and wants, your image, appearance, and health. Others are especially interested in you.
Living arrangements and conditions are clearer after Saturn turns direct on the 23rd. Organizing your personal life is in fabulous favor. Facing your responsibilities realistically puts you in a solid position to manage them. Take things gradually and enjoy the process of bringing more order and security to your personal space and inner world.
A Solar Eclipse occurs in your sign on the 25th, and it's natural to focus on yourself and your personal plans in its wake. There's an ethereal, fascinating quality to your personality drawing people to you. You are working toward more independence and self-expression that's truer to your nature. You're highly motivated to free yourself in some manner, so take advantage! Resources are likely to reveal themselves.
You regain your voice after Mercury returns to your sign on the 29th. Your interest in some projects you've put on a shelf reignites.
Mars retrograde from the 30th requires re-examining your more profound wants and desires--much is going on under the hood. Managing fears, desires, or shared money matters can be a theme. Lending and borrowing may not bring desired results at this time. However, this retrograde cycle, lasting from October 30th to January 12th, is a great time to do catch-up work and look to the past for important things you missed. You may, in fact, see value in past projects (and possibly even relationships). Whether or not to revive them is a trickier matter. Watch for attraction to impractical ventures, both financial and emotional in nature.

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.
