Scorpio season will begin on October 23, 2026, at 10:37, London time, when the Sun enters Scorpio. Two lunar dates to follow are the Taurus full moon on October 26 and the Scorpio new moon on November 9.
Together, these events offer three clear reference points for the coming weeks’ astrology. All times below are local to London: the Sun’s entry falls during British Summer Time (BST), while the two lunar events fall during Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
October 23: Scorpio season begins
The Sun will enter Scorpio on October 23 at 10:37 BST. This is the precise starting point of Scorpio season in 2026.
A body’s entry into a sign is called an ingress. Here, the event concerns the Sun, rather than a lunar phase. That distinction explains why Scorpio season can include a full moon named after another sign: the season follows the Sun’s sign, while a full moon takes its name from the Moon’s sign at that moment.
If you are following articles about the start of Scorpio season, October 23 is the date to keep handy. The 2026 ingress calendar lets you locate this solar entry alongside other changes of sign.
October 26: the full moon in Taurus
The full moon will occur in Taurus on October 26 at 04:11 GMT.
The detail to notice is Taurus, not Scorpio. This full moon belongs within the newly begun Scorpio season, but its name identifies the Moon’s position. Both labels apply to the same stretch of the calendar without describing the same event.
The time notation also changes here. Unlike the Sun’s ingress, this event is listed in GMT, not BST. If you save the date in a diary or calendar, keep the time-zone label with it rather than carrying over BST from the earlier entry.
You can also find the event in the October lunar calendar.
November 9: the new moon in Scorpio
The new moon will occur in Scorpio on November 9 at 07:02 GMT.
Scorpio now appears again in the sequence, this time as the sign of a lunar event. The October entry marks the beginning of the solar season; this November entry marks the new moon within it.
For your calendar, a short label such as “Scorpio new moon” keeps both the phase and the sign visible. That makes it easier to find the right date when returning to a related horoscope or lunar guide.
Three dates to keep handy
- October 23, 10:37 BST: the Sun enters Scorpio.
- October 26, 04:11 GMT: full moon in Taurus.
- November 9, 07:02 GMT: new moon in Scorpio.
These are three selected highlights, not a complete sky calendar. Keep the event name, sign and local time together, and you will have a clear reference for following Scorpio season’s opening and the two lunar moments that follow.
