With the arrival of Scorpio Season we can practically feel the collective mood shift in the air, there's a quieting and a call to turn inward as the days get shorter and the veil becomes thinner. With themes of honoring and remembrance echoing through many cultures, practices, and lore- we might feel tinges of nostalgia this season, reflecting on memories and loved ones past.
While the Sun resides in the sign of Scorpio it shines a light into the darkest corners of our uncurious mind, allowing us to look deeply within ourselves with no fear or judgement to uncover the areas we need to release. Scorpio then asks us to embrace endings as a natural part of the life cycle, and shed the patterns that no longer serve our growth and keep us stuck in outdated systems. When you heal thyself and transform your mind, you step through the next doorway and on a path of empowerment for you and others.
During this season while the veil is thin and you have the courage to peer into the shadows, be sure to wear your amulets, charms, or keep other ritual tools nearby to keep you grounded and able to call yourself back into light and ensuring you don't get stuck in behind the veil or lingering in the darkness.

Black Tourmaline
Protective and grounding, think of Black Tourmaline as a metaphysical shield blocking any negative energy or spirits this season. While warding off bad vibrations from outside sources, this powerful gemstone also quells inner self criticism to allow for honest reflection for aiding in deep shadow work and transformation.
Adorning oneself with Black Tourmaline if you're a sensitive soul, a healer, empath, or psychic; this stone can help you feel less overwhelmed by others emotions and energy, allowing you to feel stable and keep a clear mind.
Tourmaline is the birthstone for October, and what better choice for our mysterious and intense October Scorpios than Black Tourmaline.
Malachite
Getting right to the heart of things, Malachite is a transformative healing stone that will aid you in deep personal growth and a new-found determination for positive change. With its ability to draw you out of your comfort zone while cloaking the wearer in love and protective energy, Malachite is excellent to turn to for self-reflection and facing fears or insecurities.
If Scorpio season has you feeling a bit reclusive or uncertain; wearing Malachite might just be what you need to find motivation or just be more comfortable in unknown environments. On the flip side, Malachite might also help key you in if someone's been hiding something from you or being untruthful; giving you clarity to see beneath the surface.
Red Jasper
With the cycles of endings and beginnings; death and rebirth swimming through Scorpio season we can lean on Red Jasper to keep us focused on our best path forward as we close one door to step into another. Red Jasper keeps you organized and able to find new solutions to old problems so you can finally shed the habits that keep you back.
These Red River Jasper earrings seem to embody the red hot nature of the planet Mars, ruler of our most fiery Water sign, Scorpio.
The Snake
Symbols of the Snake show up in many cultures, folklore, and mythology around the world; many of which share a few similar beliefs in what the Snake represents, giving us another nod to how connected we all are across the universe.
In Norse mythology the Snake is often used as a symbol of power and strength, as well as serving as protection in journeys, and warding off evil spirits. In Chinese culture we find ourselves in the Year of the Snake (2025) representing a time of renewal, growth, and transformation.
The direction of the snake in symbols and even dreams plays a roll... An Ascending snake represents healing, transformation, knowledge, wisdom, and self renewal. While a Descending snake is symbolic of the underworld- a journey into your shadow self to heal and shed.
May we look at the Year of the Snake as a time of personal growth, reflection, and transformation, a time we felt encouraged to shed our old skins- ways of thinking, behaving, or falling inline; and embrace new opportunities for growth within ourselves and the communities we call home.
Lapis Lazuli
A stone of wisdom, Lapis Lazuli guides us to speak our truth and embrace our self-confidence and power. This royal blue gemstone guards the wearer from over stimulation, unwelcome psychic vibrations, and the ability to send negative energy back to the sender.
Mercury Retrograde joins us for the second half of Scorpio Season (and first week of Sagittarius season), adding a touch of chaos and confusion to the mix... Lapis Lazuli as an amulet worn near the throat is an excellent way to stimulate your throat chakra to aid in clear communication in conflict, or just help you get your words out. With Lapis Lazuli's extra dose of clarity and wisdom, it'll help you access the bigger picture and sift out the unnecessary chatter.
Pyrite
There's no fooling it, Pyrite is a highly protective and powerful gemstone to call on when you need stability in your life, clarity in your actions, and with it's most know trait of bringing fast luck you might find yourself feeling stronger and more steadfast quite quickly.
If you're looking to release old patterns and shed the outdated versions of yourself during the Full Moon in Taurus on November 5th this Scorpio Season, Pyrite might just be the talisman you need. Because of its ability to help you see what's beneath the surface, we can break free from the self-doubt we feel and the systems in place to keep us in line. Pyrite wants to free you from all forms of control so that you can pay it forward to free others.
Citrine
We love Citrine's energy to bring joy, abundance, and creativity... but you can also rely on this warm gemstone to help you release negativity, depression, and fears- making it an excellent choice to wear when doing shadow work or dealing with conflict. With it's emotionally balancing vibes and ability cleanse every facet of your life, Citrine helps us transform our minds, reset the body, and receive the clarity needed to make positive changes for ourselves and our communities. Citrine loves harmonious relationships, so make sure you're giving back to others once you've healed yourself.
The Birthstone for our November Scorpio's is Citrine, channeling positive vibrations and blocking overly critical feelings for these deep thinkers.
