Hello Dear Readers and welcome back to Meta-Astrology, now focusing on the zodiac sign seasons.
SCORPIO SEASON
The Sun enters Scorpio on October 22 where it will transit through November 20.
The most significant news of this cycle involves Scorpio’s ruler, which will finish a fifteen-year transit through Capricorn on November 18. Pluto enters Aquarius on November 19 where it will remain in transit through 2043. That’s two decades! Pluto is the planet of rebirth, transformation, and shadows. It first entered Capricorn in 2008 as momentum grew for a new kind of President. But halfway through Pluto’s transit the tide turned and our rebirth of a nation shifted into something more akin to D.W. Griffith’s 1915 Birth of a Nation. Not a surprise given the fact that Capricorn is the sign of systems and government and power. And Pluto loves power too. As we prepare for the next long cycle of Pluto in Aquarius we have no choice but to adapt to Aquarian themes or face extinction. Aquarius is the sign of the collective. It focuses on friendship, humanity, and the greater good. It also values brilliance and new ideas. Scorpio (again, ruled by Pluto), is a survivor. If anyone can set the tone for letting the old worn-out systems perish so that new and better ones can emerge it is Scorpio.

QUANTUM JUMPS: I include a meditative exercise for each sign called “Jill’s Quantum Jump.” Here’s what to do: find a quiet place, close your eyes, and use this hypnotic suggestion to imagine yourself embodying a parallel version of yourself for a few minutes or more. Take pleasure in the feelings that arise. Make notes on what arises. –JD
Scorpio the Shaman (October 23 to November 21):
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SCORPIO! The New Moon in Scorpio on November 1 could usher in a time of emotional bounty and joy for you. Live in a state of positive expectation and you will find that good things come easily. By the time the full moon in your house of love arrives on November 15 you will experience a greater sense of confidence and forward momentum. Even with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in retrograde you can succeed where others give up, simply due to your strong intuition about what the next chapter in the world’s story will be.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: If you could see yourself winning every battle, imagine what it would be like to not have to fight.
Sagittarius the Traveler (November 22 to December 22):
The final days of October are full of clues to what your 2025 could be like. Mercury, the messenger, finishes its stint in your house of endings and new beginnings, moving you to a key decision about your future. Learn from the past. Luckily Venus in your sign keeps one foot in your rollicking, free-wheeling ways. This Scorpio season you are also apt to get traction in your career as fiery Mars ignites the top of your chart. Take inspired action when the spirit moves. And that just might be sooner than you think.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Imagine you could soothe yourself more than anyone else.
Capricorn the Merchant (December 23 to January 19):
Mars in your house of love brings ardor to your door through November 4, making it harder to act like a crazy workaholic. Luckily, your friends are on call as the Sun transits your house of community, and you may just find a balanced way to spend your days and nights. Capricorn season is a couple of months away, but it’s a good idea to pace yourself, rather than burn the candle at both ends. There are many imminent changes in the world and it’s better to miss a few opportunities than use up all your energy before the party even starts.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Fantasize about both your worldly life and your personal life.
Aquarius the Visionary (January 20 to February 18):
Pluto is just chomping at the bit to enter your sign! But take advantage of this period of waiting on the tarmac through November 18. Think about clearing out your old office, erasing your vision board, and over all leaving a nice clean slate for an incredible time that is about to begin. The more you leave things in good order the lighter your experience of Pluto entering Aquarius will be. In addition, Venus smoothly slides through your house of friends and groups till November 11, which may make you everyone’s fave plus one. Your popularity is high, so enjoy the social and don’t overthink the long term.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: See yourself the way a new and enamored friend does.
Pisces the Dreamer (February 19 to March 20):
This is a great time to push boundaries when it comes to affairs of the heart and creative endeavors. The world is very intense and full of distractions now. That makes this a wonderful time for you to experiment with a new project, a new lover, a new identity. Just make sure that you are down to earth when it comes to money, honey. With Saturn, the task master retrograde in your sign, along with dreamy Neptune (your ruler) also retro in Pisces, you need to take some matters seriously. Money should be at the top of that list. Luckily you have an idea that’s worth its weight in gold.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: If you could put all your energy behind one great idea, what would it be?
Aries the Warrior (March 21 to April 19):
Be sure to take relationships seriously in the weeks ahead. The Sun in your house of commitment means that the people who mean the most to you may expect real intimacy from you. Luckily, you are in the mood to go deep. Venus is playful and fiery through November 10 and you could find amorous encounters keep your juices flowing. Then, on Nov 15 the full moon transits your money house, bringing you opportunities to for prosperity you haven’t seen a while. Tune back into your confidence and don’t let any past rejections stand in your way. The universe has your back.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Imagine yourself moving up in your worldly pursuits. What would your nickname be?
Taurus the Builder (April 20 to May 20):
There’s a bit of mystery surrounding you during Scorpio season, Taurus. You may be feeling more vulnerable with the Sun opposing you. But it is actually when you feel less in control that people love you most and that the world clamors for more of you. The full moon in Taurus on Nov 15 brings relationship issues to a head, but you are likely to feel great relief after your share your big reveal. Turns out those who love you can sense your secrets and still adore you.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Tune in to the person you were before you put these recent walls up.
Gemini the Messenger (May 21 to June 21):
Your mind is always moving faster than everybody else’s, but during Scorpio season its best for you to bring your visions down to earth. The Sun’s transit through the most physical sector of your chart means that your body keeps the score and calls the shots. Add to that that the very passionate planet Mars moves into your house of friends on November 4, you may just find yourself getting moony over an old pal. The full moon on November 15 lands in your house of endings and new beginnings. Take this time to consider what direction suits you best during this time in your (love) life.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Keep track of the messages your nervous system is sending to you.
Cancer the Guardian (June 22 to July 22):
You do well when the Sun is in fellow water sign Scorpio. And the new moon in Scorpio on November 1 should be especially fortunate for you. Think about where you’d like to place your bets and with whom you choose to ride or die so to speak. Because you are apt to have a lot of suitors, both personal and professional, and a lot of decisions to make in this next chapter. As Pluto finishes up its stint (for realz) in your house of relationships on November 18, set an intention for how you would like the next two decades of your love life to go. You just may get your wish!
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Remember what you love most about yourself and lead with that quality.
Leo the Leader (July 23 to August 22):
This season is mostly about home base shifts as the Sun and Mercury transit the domestic area of your chart (the later through November 1). In career matters, Mars gives you extra confidence to make important deals and bet on your own future. But Venus, planet of love will be making sparks fly in your creative and romantic sector through November 10, so if you feel compelled to get your flirt on: do, baby do! The full moon on November 15 brings you good news about money and prestige, but please remember to keep playing the long game.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Pay special attention to your family and realize they are a reflection of you.
Virgo the Gardener (August 23 to September 22):
Scorpio season sees the Sun transit your house of friends and community making this a lighter than usual time in your life. Instead of holing yourself up to work hard on your own, turn to a few of your smart pals for advice on money and career, and for a good time out on the town. You will feel good if you reconnect with those who know you the best, and have known you forever. If ever there was a time to give yourself a pass it’s now. Resting and relaxing helps you to rev up your engine even more later in the fall.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Pay attention to who makes you laugh the hardest.
Libra the Artist (September 23 to October 22):
The Sun and new moon meet in your house of money on November 1, and you could just find yourself with a chance to up your income. Remember the phrase “work smart not hard,” when you are choosing your next gigs or chess moves. Starting November 19 it is your brilliant imagination which could bring you the most prosperity. Don’t be so humble about your talents. There’s money out there to be made. Just make sure to think about what your long term purpose is in your career. What is the legacy you are building?
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Think back to a bit of guidance you received when you were young (er) that has stayed with you to this day.
