It is rare that anybody thinks that what they’re doing is in the hands of the gods. And it isn’t necessarily literal. But sometimes it is worth declaring what you’d like to do, standing back, and seeing what the gods deliver to you. For you, as a Scorpio, who’s usually out there making things happen, standing back and seeing what comes your way could be exciting.
Being willing to admit when I’ve missed something important isn’t just wise, it’s vital
The fact that your birthday is on Halloween, or All Hallows’ Eve, the day before the Day of the Spirits, means that you benefit from an awareness of the two worlds: of the everyday world—something most Scorpios are good at handling—but also the world, not merely of spirits of the Halloween sense, but our inner world, our own spirit, our own nature. And finding a balance between this is so important, especially because we’re in a period during which there is an emphasis on the practical and scientific side of life, your coruler is Mars, the planet of action.
You dislike hanging around too long and hearing people talk when you could simply go out and gather facts. All of these sides of your nature come together to turn into someone—it’s you—who is inquisitive and enjoys discovery. These discoveries aren’t necessarily about the world around you, though you could go traveling. They are also about what makes us tick as human beings, what makes us feel what we feel, what brings us both anxiety and joy.
For many Scorpios, that is an important part of your life and journey, especially for someone born on October 31st. Recognize the privilege that is and how much you’ve learned from it. Not only will you be fascinated by each day, you will enjoy it as well.
While you benefit from a fascination with the complexity of life, not everyone does. Certain individuals, even those you are close to, are unwilling to talk about those ideas, and are sometimes even spooked by them, while others enjoy going on and on about it. They will be the ones you want to talk to most. The others you’ll leave for times when you are talking about other matters.
As a Scorpio, you are strong, but as a water sign, you can be influenced by the mood of others and your own moods. So it’s important to look after yourself physically, but also to undertake activities such as yoga, or perhaps one of the Chinese martial arts that builds your energy, well-being, and resilience.

For years, you have worked hard to turn one particularly promising idea into a plan and hopefully a lasting arrangement, but not only are things not going well, those plans are falling apart. Don’t worry. Let them go. Something is already on the horizon that will be far less of a struggle.
Scorpio: OCTOBER 22 – NOVEMBER 20
Ruler: Pluto

Element: Water

Compelling by nature and style, as a Scorpio—whose symbol is your namesake, the scorpion—you beguile with your mystery as much as by what you say or do. Whatever your chosen field, your insights will be unique and your capacity for intimacy compelling—perhaps influenced by your ruler, Pluto, who reigns in the underworld. Your flower is rhododendron; your spices are peppers; and your plant, blackthorn. The mysterious opal mirrors your alluring secrets.
