Scorpio season ushers in a storm: Everything to know about the ‘intense’ zodiac sign
November is the month of the Scorpio. The sign’s rein starts in the final days of October and covers just about all of the following month. Known as one of the more polarizing Zodiac signs, Scorpios are often misunderstood.
Luckily astrologer Narayana Montúfar, a Scorpio herself, is here to dispel some myths and talk about the complexity and depth of Scorpio placements.
Come with us as we take you on a deep dive into Scorpio Sun signs, the ‘intense’ powers they have and how their traits might come out in friendships, romances and the work place. Montúfar is a Senior Astrologer for Horoscope.com and the author of “Moon Signs: Unlock Your Inner Luminary Power.”
When does Scorpio season start?
Scorpio season begins October 23 and lasts until November 21.
It is a true fall sign, followed by Sagittarius which straddles fall and winter seasons.
Well-balanced and committed, here’s what to know about the zodiac sign
Scorpio key personality traits
- Intensity
- Magnetism
- Sexual and creative energy
- Depth
- Curiosity
Scorpios are marked by their intensity, Montúfar tells me. “The Scorpionic energy is really hard to master and the reason why is because Scorpio is not only ruled by one, but two planets,” she says, and the most intense planets at that: Mars and Pluto.
Libras are known to be the ‘artist,’ Scorpios have their own archetype: The Shaman. “They have to go through this intense training and this intense introspection, inner transformation, and inner discovery,” Montúfar elaborates.
Another key characteristic of Scorpio signs is their magnetism, Montúfar says, a certain charisma, sexiness, or je ne sais quoi that attracts other people. Pluto has a deeply magnetic force and since it rules Scorpio, these signs can easily attract partners. Sometimes they actually operate better when they are with a partner, she explains.
Scorpio career patterns
Scorpios are very goal-oriented and driven, Montúfar says. They have a particular talent for strategy given not only their high intensity and sometimes ruthless nature, but also their ability to predict others’ thoughts and actions.
Scorpios also make incredible therapists, Montúfar says, joking she (herself a Scorpio) tells people she’s part-therapist, part-astrologer. Because Scorpios are not afraid of discussing trauma, in fact they welcome it, they can connect at a deep level with others.
Their ability to detect other people’s thoughts and desires also helps them excel in the marketing field and in anything that involves investigation, Montúfar says. “People who do detective work for a living that’s the archetype,” she explains, “It’s kind of like being able to zoom into something and figure it out. They have a talent for that.”

Scorpio’s compatibility with Virgo, other signs
If Scorpio is such an intense energy to handle, who fills those ever-important shoes of the Scorpio’s soulmate?
A number of different signs might be a good fit. They are compatible with the other water signs: Cancer and Pisces, Montúfar says. They also have a known compatibility with earth signs (think water meeting the land), in particular Virgo and Capricorn.
