It’s Scorpio season, witches. It’s time to get scared and make it sexy.
On October 23, the sun moved from harmonious Libra to everyone’s favorite sexy little goth witch, Scorpio. No matter your sun sign, this season is sure to bring you a little mystery and magic to tap into.
The idea that Scorpios are sexy is not unfounded. Prone to deep feelings, deeper introspection, and bursts of creativity, this sign often comes across as a seductive artist. The brooding nature that can accompany this territory only adds to the mystique. Scorpio has an air of mystery that captivates us and makes us want to know what’s going on behind its timid veil. They exude a complex magnetism and unapologetic sexuality. And like our resident goddess Goddess with their pretty little scorpion tail, they do it with such discreet grace that it can leave us hypnotized.
Cultures around the world have associated this time of year with the thinning of the veil between the worlds. Halloween, Samhain, All Saints’ Day, All Souls’ Day… all happen during this time. It is a time when messages from beyond can come more easily. The wisdom of Scorpio is to go within and listen with intention so that you can receive them.
Scorpio is tenacious and sensual and isn’t afraid of what lurks in its shadow. In fact, it embraces it because it knows that the most powerful magic happens in the dark. With Pluto (planet of destruction, rebirth, and transcendence) ruling this sign, transformation and self-transcendence are Scorpio’s watchwords. After a month dedicated to relationships, this period asks us to dive deeper, feel what lives beneath the surface, and ask ourselves: What can I release to make this transformation my best yet?
This season encourages you to boldly step into the void, swords drawn, ready to face the person who knows how to touch you better than anyone else; the person you can’t live without. I’m talking, of course, about yourself. (Let’s talk about the ultimate enemies-to-lovers arc, huh?)
It’s no wonder that the word most often associated with Scorpio is intense.
Here are some tips for embracing this intensity and making the most of this Scorpio season:
1. Change the way you masturbate
In case you needed another excuse… Scorpio rules the genitals and reproductive system, making it the perfect time to honor this part of you. And while Scorpio loves routine, why not try some new spells to remind yourself of how magical your body is.
Are you a dedicated wand user? Try conjuring something with it a more sophisticated atmosphere like the Quip. Do you like suction cup toys? Consider incorporating a glass dildo for a deep and mixed O magic. Add a anal plug to the mix or take a break from your toys by switching to acoustics. Treat yourself to a new lubricant and reconnect with the sensual power of your own touch.
Sensitivity varies wildly from day to day and from experience to experience. You never know what you might discover by changing your stimulation style and mindset for a steamy solo session.
2. Reconnect with yourself
Everyone’s introspection and grounding practices are a little different. For some, it might be meditation or journaling. For others, it might be a long walk or a steam bath. For others, it might be a long masturbation session or cooking a home-cooked meal. Whatever your style, create intentional space this season to turn off your thinking mind and connect with yourself.
3. Give yourself a makeover
You don’t have to break up to make a big change in your outward appearance. Switch up your look with a different makeup look, a new haircut or color, or a fun new outfit. Whether you’re going out or staying in, go all out for a Halloween look. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get a tattoo or piercing, now’s the time! It’s the perfect time to let your boldness and independence run wild.
4. Transform yourself with a little role play
Speaking of Halloween… Your costume is a perfect excuse to try out a new role in the bedroom. Especially if sex role play It’s something you’ve always wanted to try, but were too nervous to talk about. Now is the perfect time to harness your nerves and explore your fantasies. Playing pretend with someone you trust can give you very real permission to explore deeper aspects of your sexual personality. And potentially unlock new levels of pleasure in your relationship.
