It is no accident that the cryptic Scorpion sign includes the extreme realm of Halloween. The Zodiac sign Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov 21) has been awarded its own celebratory day of warning: November 18 is National Married to a Scorpio Support Day. (Hmmmm – was it created by one of my exes??)

November 39ers – Feasts, Fun, and … Ouija?

Ah yes, the sweet but overly balanced Libra gives way this month to the somewhat uneven and intense mysteries of Scorpio. Admit it – you’re already thinking sex, passion, the occult, and probably sex again.

Adding to the mystery, the Zodiac sign has been awarded its own celebratory day of warning: November 18 is National Married to a Scorpio Support Day.* (Hmmmm – was it created by one of my exes??)
