Inspired by ancient ritual, a love of beauty, and things arcane, Scorpio luxuriates in the subtle complexities of rare teas, botanicals, and aromas that help us access greater depth and intimacy, and that celebrate Scorpio's passion for exploring complex emotional subtleties via the six senses.

Scorpio is associated with the dark—seasonally, emotionally, and psychically. Those of this sign are said to be the shaman and priestesses of the zodiac; the keepers of mysteries, the students of the arcane, the alchemists, healers, and magicians. Like scorpions, they straddle the realms of land (conscious) and water (unconscious), and are described as masters of transformation. Like scorpions, Scorpios are often drawn to dark spaces where they can hide unseen, and observe the world around them. They are known for their unfailing instincts, controlled passion, and quiet intensity.

In general, Scorpio season begins a natural process of review, and a turning inward to assess what aspects of ourselves need to be shed, transmuted, and transformed. Scorpio energy compels us to engage more deeply with ourselves, and with life’s mysteries, taboos, spiritual transformations, and profound experiences.
