We’re entering the second half of October which can only mean one thing, it’s Scorpio season (October 23 - November 21). This sign is easily one of the most misunderstood ones. Their passion and intensity can come off as intimidating, which explains why they’re always thought of as fire signs. Their allure comes from their sense of mystery, but it could also just be their strategic nature of keeping all their cards close to their chest.
Like most Gen-Z’s, I turned to Co-Star to better understand the hallmarks of the water sign:
So this makes it easy to see that Scorpios are very complex people under the surface. If you want to appeal to their loyalty and compassion, here are some things to show your love to your favorite Scorpios this season.
We're starting off with a favorite from our co-founder and favorite Scorpio, Jasmine. This pack of organic cotton socks from Mate. While this is everyone's favorite Christmas gift from their grandma, it doesn't have to stop there. These cozy pairs are both stylish and comfy. They're sustainably made with organic cotton and no harmful chemicals in the production process.
Ride Off Faux Leather Moto Jacket
If Co-star says they can wear a leather jacket like no one else can, getting a good leather jacket is a no brainer. The belt and silver embellishments give it more of an edge, something Scorpios are known for. I love the cropped fit that hits at the waist, which would pair great with high waisted bottoms.
A nice pair of chunky dark boots only adds to the signs edge. The chunky platform heel elevates this sign that already stands as a natural leader. The zipper down the middle is a fun twist on the classic Chelsea boot.
For the loud and proud Scorpios, you can get them a necklace for their zodiac sign. The dainty pendant in the center showcases the Scorpio symbol in a subtle and elegant way. It’s great with any necklace stack or just on its own.
When I think of Scorpios, I think of a bold red lip — they make a statement and they’re strong. Fenty Beauty’s lip paint is easily a favorite for many, for good reason. The shades are universal, the formula is lasting, and the pigment is bold. This is easily my go-to red lip, and I’d recommend it for your Scorpio friends too.
Scorpios are known for their eyes that look into your soul. Their intense gaze obviously needs to be highlighted with a strong eyeliner. KVD Beauty’s cult classic tattoo liner is a must-have. It’s bold and pigmented, while the aesthetic of the packaging screams Scorpio.
When I first got a whiff of this perfume, the first thing that popped into my mind was a forest—dark and earthy, but floral and in some ways peaceful. It’s an intense perfume, while still being subtle with scents that compliment each other well. There is also a sexiness to it, a word often synonymous with Scorpios.
Bibliothèque Fragranced Candle
Another selection from our Scorpio co-founder is this luxurious fragrance candle. The artisanal candle in France. It's fragrance profile includes sweet floral notes from ingredients like peach and peonies.
Candles are some of my favorite gifts to give and receive. I love filling my space with a scent and creating a new vibe in the space depending on the fragrance. The Scorpio candle leaves the room with a musky and floral scent, something your Scorpio friends might appreciate.
Scorpios are very methodical. They ask questions and constantly try to get under the surface to see people for who they truly are. Which means they probably spend a lot of time reflecting. This means they’ll need a handy journal around at all times, preferably one like this from Paper Source that gives them a reminder of who they are and celebrates it.
What I love about these glasses is the elegant design that still has a slight gothic aesthetic to it. Especially as we enter the cooler months and holiday season, your Scorpio loved ones are going to enjoy pouring a nice autumnal red wine in these glasses.
Another recommendation from our co-founder and Gazette Gal's favorite Scorpio, "Cook Beautiful" by Athena Calderone is a James Beard award-winning cookbook. We eat with our eyes first. Calderone's background in design and culinary arts is exhibited in this cook book. For our Scorpios who enjoy entertaining and bringing their artistic eye to cooking, this is a great book to add to their collection.
For a sign that is known for their intensity, depth and inquisitive nature, a game like this is perfect for them. They like asking questions and digging deep, lucky for them that is the whole point of this game.
Stephen King is known as the King of Horror. King’s writing always lends itself well to the psychological side of the genre, creating both disturbing and intriguing stories. Misery is a story that especially taps into the psychological thriller genre. An author is held captive by his biggest fan in her secluded home following a bike accident. King’s ability to tell a thrilling story keeps us captivated to the very end.
