35 Scorpio Journal Prompts
Hey there, Scorpio! These astrology journal prompts are for you. Use them to dig deep into how you see yourself, your emotions and opinions, and how you're best putting those Scorpio traits to use.
Why Keep an Astrology Journal?
Journaling is surprisingly beneficial! Journaling can also help you balance your personal life with your professional and social commitments. Writing down your thoughts and experiences can help you process emotions honestly, track personal growth, provide mental stimulation, start a conversation with yourself, and even spark creativity. It's an opportunity to be honest and vulnerable with the person who matters the most: you.
Writing Practice
Like anything, practice matters when it comes to writing. That means journaling can help improve the writing you do in other areas of your life! After you've poured your passion and secrets out onto the page, it becomes a lot easier to explain a complicated process to a work colleague in writing. Not to mention, you may finally surprise yourself with your excellent spelling.
And of course, using journaling prompts can be a useful tool for improving writing skills.
Reflect on Your Goals for Personal Growth
Journaling is an opportunity to focus on your goals and progress. Reflecting on your goals can also help you understand your level of commitment to achieving them. It also allows you to evaluate what is longer serving in your life and make necessary adjustments. Don’t forget to track your progress in your journal!
Improve Your Health
Studies are showing that journaling may also reduce stress, improve your immune system response, and even boost your memory. Here's an article from Intermountain Healthcare about it.
So with those benefits in mind, let's get started!
Understanding the Scorpio Personality
The Scorpio personality is a fascinating blend of intensity, passion, and mystery. Known for their deep feelings and private nature, Scorpios can be challenging to understand and may not enjoy small talk, but their complexity makes them incredibly intriguing. Scorpio men, in particular, are naturally intuitive and perceptive, making them excellent partners in relationships. They have a knack for sensing the unspoken and understanding the deeper layers of any situation.
Scorpios are extremely loyal and committed to their loved ones, partners in romance, and closest friends. However, this loyalty can sometimes manifest as jealousy and possessiveness if they feel threatened. To truly understand a Scorpio, it’s essential to ask deep and personal questions that reveal their true nature. They value honesty and authenticity in their relationships and are highly sensitive to the emotions of others.
As a water sign, Scorpios are inherently emotional and sensitive. Their passionate nature and intense personality make them exciting and engaging partners, but these same traits can also lead to mood swings and emotional outbursts. The Scorpio personality is multifaceted and complex, making it difficult to categorize them as just one type of person. Embracing their depth and intensity is key to understanding and appreciating the unique qualities of Scorpios.
Developing Self-Awareness
For Scorpios, developing personal awareness is a crucial step towards understanding their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This awareness allows them to identify their strengths and weaknesses, paving the way for personal growth and improvement. While Scorpios are usually highly aware of themselves, they can also be resistant to change and may struggle with doubt.
To cultivate personal awareness, Scorpios can engage in practices like introspection, journaling, and meditation. These activities help them tune into their feelings and thoughts, providing valuable insights into their inner world. By understanding their own needs and boundaries, Scorpios can develop healthier relationships and become more empathetic and understanding towards others.
The journey towards self-awareness can be challenging, but it ultimately leads to greater personal growth and acceptance. By embracing this process, Scorpios can learn to navigate their intense emotions and behaviors, becoming more balanced and harmonious individuals. Developing personal awareness is a powerful tool for Scorpios to achieve a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world.
Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence is essential for Scorpios, as it helps them navigate their intense emotions and develop healthier relationships. Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize and understand what's happening in oneself and others. Scorpios tend to be highly emotionally intelligent, thanks to their natural intuition and perceptiveness.
However, Scorpios can also struggle with emotional intelligence, as they may be prone to mood swings and emotional outbursts. To enhance their emotional intelligence, Scorpios can practice empathy, active listening, and self-regulation. These skills enable them to better understand and respond to the feelings of others, fostering stronger and more meaningful relationships.
Scorpios with high emotional intelligence are effective communicators, able to express their own interest and needs clearly and respectfully. By developing emotional intelligence, Scorpios can become more compassionate, empathetic, and understanding towards themselves and others. This growth allows them to navigate their intense feelings with greater ease and build deeper connections with those around them.
Spiritual Connections
For Scorpios, spiritual connections are essential in developing a deeper sense of purpose and meaning in their lives. Naturally drawn to the mysterious and the unknown, Scorpios tend to be inherently spiritual. These connections help them develop a greater sense of connection to themselves, others, and the universe.
To cultivate spiritual connections, Scorpios can engage in practices like meditation, yoga, or other spiritual activities that help them tune into their inner selves. These practices provide a sense of calm and balance, helping Scorpios navigate their intense feelings and behaviors. Spiritual connections also foster greater empathy and compassion towards others, enhancing their relationships.
Scorpios who are spiritually connected are more intuitive and perceptive, attuned to the energies and emotions of those around them. By developing spiritual connections, Scorpios can become more whole, balanced, and harmonious individuals. This deeper sense of purpose and meaning enriches their lives, allowing them to embrace their true selves and navigate the world with greater clarity and understanding.

How to Start Your Astrology Journal
You can use the above Scorpio journal prompts in addition to reflecting on any readings or horoscopes you might have—and about your daily life and goals. Journaling practice is a great way to lean into creating and celebrating an intentional, thoughtful life. Here’s how to get started.
Consider using a journaling app to keep track of your thoughts and reflections on the go.
Consider incorporating moon journal prompts, such as those related to the phases of the moon or specific events like a Scorpio Full Moon, for deeper self-reflection.
Choosing Your Journaling Materials
Choose a journal that you like, because if it makes you happy, it will be easier to pick it up. Consider selecting a journal that reflects your Scorpio energy!
Additionally, you might want to choose journaling materials that align with the new moon and its energy to enhance your self-reflection and spiritual development.
Physical Journals
If at all possible, try to hold your Scorpio journal in person before you buy it. Get a sense of whether you will reach for it and enjoy using it. Is the journal's binding sturdy? If you want the ability to take it to the coffee shop or the art museum, does it fit in your purse?
Digital Journals
What digital journals lack in book-nerd cache, they make up for in portability and convenience. They're especially handy if you're journaling about ideas you might want to use later—don't underestimate a good search feature. You also have plenty of free and very inexpensive options, from Google docs to specialized apps like Penzu.
Tips for Establishing a Journaling Habit
Establishing a habit can take time, and that amount of time varies. Focus on intentionally creating space and time for your new Scorpio journaling practice and exploring some journaling ideas that you might like to incorporate. The new moon is has amazing energy for new beginnings, and the full moon is also a wonderful time to start a new habit. (Extra points if it’s the full moon during Scorpio season.) But any moon phase is better than not starting!
Starting a new journaling habit in November, during Scorpio season, can be particularly powerful for answering those deep questions.
The first step is to create an irresistibly comfortable place to write. Stock it with your favorite pens and journal. While you’re at it, remove any obstacles that will keep you from journaling.
Pick a time of day to write and set up a recurring calendar appointment to remind you. Intentionally create space to write at that exact time for the next few weeks, until you’re comfortable enough with the habit to vary it.
If it feels overwhelming to sit down and write for an indeterminate amount of time, try setting a timer for 10 minutes and telling yourself to write that long.
Too long? Try 5 minutes.
Still too long? Try writing one line a day and see if that makes it happen.
Consider setting intentions during Scorpio season as part of establishing your journaling habit.
Try a habit tracker
Add journaling to your favorite habit tracker, be it standalone or in your planner. There's nothing as satisfying as filling in another habit tracker box! (We have a few downloadable habit trackers if you need one!) Embrace the organization!
Are you finished with these Scorpio journal prompts but want to keep going? Look no further—we've got plenty of journal prompts for adults. You can use them to practice writing, start that conversation with yourself, dig into a challenging questions, explore your dreams and beliefs, and celebrate what brings you joy in your past and present.
