About the October 28th Scorpio
Scorpios born on October 28th tend to be extremely passionate people who have a very deep well of emotions. Typically, they’re very creative and driven to work hard, especially when it comes to areas of interest.
Someone who exemplifies these characteristics is the multi-talented artist Frank Ocean, who shares this birthday. Frank Ocean is known mainly for writing and singing his music, but he also produces music and does visual art. His lyrics are typically very introspective, and his visual art also shows this quality.
Sometimes a Scorpio’s passion can easily veer off into an obsession that isn’t healthy. For the most part, this won’t be too much of an issue--especially if the passion is derived from hobbies and their career. It’s when Scorpios become passionate about certain people that they may want to watch themselves. Journaling and talking with a trusted loved one about it will help with this a lot.
Another challenge that may arise comes from an October 28th Scorpio’s emotions. Scorpios tend to be more sensitive than they let on, and sometimes they may be hurt easily. This isn’t the fault of Scorpios, but they should keep in mind to communicate this hurt to someone they trust. Talking about it will help Scorpios heal, which means the feelings will be less likely to fester into resentment.
Scorpio is the eighth sign in the zodiac wheel, represented by the scorpion and ruled by both Pluto and Mars.
Scorpio is a water sign, which means that they tend to be driven by emotion. Water signs are usually intuitive and sensitive to changes in mood, which makes them extremely good at reading other people. Unfortunately, water signs that feel insecure can easily become clingy and passive-aggressive.
The modality for Scorpio is fixed, which means that they’re good at finding calm and strength in chaos. Fixed signs possess a lot of emotional fortitude, and can at times be very reflective. They are usually quite grounded but can sometimes be stubborn.
The tarot card that’s associated with Scorpio is Death (number 13). The card depicts Death as a skeleton in armor riding a white horse. Beneath the figure is an arrangement of bodies, which shows that Death doesn’t discriminate—it comes for everyone.
Death signifies transformation and endings, and typically means that one phase of the reader’s life is ending (and a new one is being ushered in). Scorpios are often known for being transformative and not shying away from rebirth, strongly invoking one of their ruling planets, Pluto.
October 28th falls in the first week of the season of Scorpio. While this would put October 28th on the cusp between Libra and Scorpio, there isn’t a very strong Libra influence. However, looking at the other planets and their placements in your natal chart will give more in-depth insights.
What Are the Traits of a October 28th Scorpio?
Positive Traits: Passionate, Perceptive, Loyal
One of the traits that Scorpios are most commonly known for is being passionate. Scorpios don’t go into anything halfway, and their love for anything or anyone runs very deeply. Scorpios aren’t afraid to be expressive about their passion, and it often makes them become very good at the things they pursue with it.
Scorpios also tend to be extremely sensitive and perceptive people. Sometimes they’re thought of as mind readers, because many of them have high levels of empathy.
Finally, Scorpios also can be some of the most loyal and reliable friends that someone can have. This comes from their passion, and they’re also happy to sacrifice their own comfort for the sake of someone else.
Negative Traits: Suspicious, Resentful, Obsessive
Scorpios are known for going to great lengths to seek the truth, and this certainly isn’t a bad thing until Scorpio gets suspicious. This can happen fairly easily, especially with romantic partners, as their penchant for truth-seeking will cause them to see things that aren’t really there. Scorpios would do well to take a breath and approach things logically if these feelings begin to come up.
Grudges are something else that Scorpios can sometimes be known for, as they never forgive a slight. Processing those feelings in a healthy way will help a lot when it comes to resentment bubbling over and becoming reignited.
Scorpio’s passion can devolve into an unhealthy obsession if it’s left unchecked. Communicating openly about this with someone they trust will help a lot in terms of maintaining that balance.
What Is the Personality of a October 28th Scorpio?
Scorpios really love their alone time, and the people around them may find that they become irritable when they don’t get enough of it. This time tends to be when Scorpios process their emotions
While they’re very independent they can also be clingy to those they love, especially if they suffer from insecurity. All signs are prone to contradictions in their personalities, but Scorpios are especially prone.
As discussed in traits, Scorpios are the most passionate sign of the zodiac. This passion is going to reflect on everything that they do, from their friendships to their career.
Scorpios are private people who typically have a small group of friends. These friends are highly valued and know a lot about Scorpio, however. While Scorpios can have fun among crowds and bigger social circles, they highly prefer the company of a few loyal people.
Scorpios love knowing the truth at the heart of any matter, but this can also mean that they see bad intentions when they aren’t there. They can be very blunt and always say what’s on their mind, which may be dangerous to their relationships when mixed with their suspicion.
Scorpios can sometimes have a need for control in any situation, which often leads them to be misunderstood as angry people. While Scorpios do tend to have an intensity, they have just as many emotions as anyone else. The need for control comes from their desire to protect themselves and their loved ones from being hurt.
Love & Compatibility for a October 28th Scorpio
Scorpios and Taureans have a tendency to work really well together. Both are fixed signs, which means that they approach challenges in a similar way. This can mean that they’ll quickly understand each other in ways that may take longer for other signs to understand. Both signs also take a while to open up, meaning they won’t rush one another into a commitment, and they also tend to both be introverted.
This pairing may find challenges when it comes to each sign’s tendency to be stubborn. This clash will only happen if they’re on opposite sides about something, which may not be very often. Both signs would do well to remember patience and listening.
Another match that tends to go very well for Scorpio is Cancer, which is also a water sign. Cancers and Scorpios are both known for having an immense amount of emotional depth, so they’re likely to truly understand one another. Both signs also tend to be private people, so they’ll be on the same page when it comes to how much about their relationship to disclose.
Challenges that may come up for Scorpios and Cancers have to do with the way each sign communicates. Scorpios can sometimes be brutally honest, which may not sit well with Cancers. Scorpio will need to understand when to phrase things in a pleasant way. Along with this, Cancer will need to be honest about their needs around this.
Jobs & Skills for a October 28th Scorpio
Scorpios work best when they’re able to work independently. This doesn’t mean it will be impossible for them to work in a team-based environment. They may just find it more draining.
Because Scorpios love working out hidden truths, especially when it comes to the human mind, they often make great candidates for the field of psychology. Other professions that place an emphasis on this skill, like private investigating, may also make them feel drawn.
Scorpios are usually very hard workers, especially when their job is something they’re passionate about. Scorpios don’t mind going the extra mile for something if it aligns with their interests.
Since Scorpios also tend to be trustworthy and reliable, this also makes them very good to work with. While Scorpios are usually very private around acquaintances, if they like someone at work they’ll likely be open to collaboration or helping a colleague.
Leadership positions aren’t something that Scorpios often search for, but they’re not afraid to take those positions if they believe the current leader is being unfair. When Scorpios do this, they typically hope that it’s a temporary fix.
Given a Scorpio’s penchant for loyalty, once they find a career or workplace that they mesh with it takes a lot for them to leave.
What Is in Store for a October 28th Scorpio in 2023?
2022 is a transformative year for Scorpios. (Though, arguably, all years are very transformative for Scorpios!) There will be a lot of internal growth as well as a lot of work when it comes to assessing the people in your life. All of this will be for the better, and help Scorpios maintain a balance of freedom and stability.
Uranus and Neptune will help through the year when it comes to setting boundaries, enforcing them, and letting go of unhealthy connections. The solar eclipse in Gemini on June 3rd will also be a big point for this, as it occurs in your 8th house of intimacy. This time will be particularly powerful when it comes to establishing healthy relationships.
Lucky planet Jupiter goes into Pisces from May 13th to July 28th, in your 5th house of true love. During this time particularly, there will be a lot of potential for finding new love and healing from past heartbreaks. This time will also be really powerful when it comes to creative endeavors and a change in career.

About the October 28th Ruling Planet (Mars, Pluto)
Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and Mars, making it the only sign with two current ruling planets.
When Pluto was demoted from being a planet, the official planet rulership changed to Mars. However, many astrologers still believe that Pluto is an important part of the chart and designate it as Scorpio’s true ruler.
Pluto is sometimes known as “death’s arrow” and represents final endings and the beginnings that come thereafter. This is because Pluto used to be the planet at the furthest edge of our solar system. Rebirth is something that tends to resonate with many Scorpios, as are more taboo subjects like death.
Pluto is also sometimes known for great destructive forces and manipulation, which can be representative of some of Scorpio’s negative traits. Scorpios can sometimes be seen as manipulative (usually without meaning to be) and they can also have a destructive streak.
Mars, on the other hand, is more about passion and desire, which also suits Scorpio very well. Mars is typically seen as the planet of anger and sex–both of which are things that Scorpios tend to be known for themselves.
Pluto doesn’t rule over any other signs, but Mars also rules over the sign of Aries. Both Scorpios and Aries can be intense and driven people with a taste for competition. Passion is important to both of these signs.
Since Pluto’s revolution around the sun takes a very long time, it tends to rule over a generation more than an individual. Where Pluto is in your chart can indicate where you need to look to find deeper truth and meaning, as well as where you may encounter upheaval.
Where Mars is in the natal chart can indicate which areas in your life you’re likely to find success when you bring passion and energy to them. For example, if Mars is in the 3rd house in your chart, you’re likely to find great success with education or with communication with your siblings.
In your natal chart, the sign that Mars is in can also affect the areas in your life that its house rules over. Since Mars rules Scorpio, its intense energy is the strongest when it’s in that sign. To go along with the previous example, if Mars is in Scorpio in the 3rd house, you may find yourself passionately drawn to communications.
About the October 28th Birthstone (Aquamarine)
Aquamarine was once believed to be the treasure of mermaids and used to be called “water of the sea” by Roman fishermen. Anyone who worked in or near the water would wear aquamarine as a protective talisman, and it was particularly believed to keep travelers by sea safe.
The name and the ancient beliefs about the stone stem from the color as well as its shimmering appearance, reminiscent of water against sunshine. Sometimes if there are more iron oxides in the stone, it can also have green which still evokes a seascape.
As Scorpio is one of the three water signs, the oceanic lore and modern water connotations make a lot of sense. Like the sea, Scorpios can be a powerful force when they put their mind to something.
In the healing crystal world, aquamarine is strongly associated with the throat chakra and is believed to help people speak their truths. This could be in a public speaking setting, or it can simply aid with opening a conversation that’s been avoided. These things reflect Scorpio’s desire to seek the truth about everything, and their ability to be honest even when it hurts.
Aquamarine is also known for being an emotional cleanser, and can help balance intense feelings like anger when it’s worn or held. This makes it a great asset to any Scorpio who feels that their emotions are unwieldy at times, and who comes off as unpleasantly intense. Scorpios have great emotional depths, and sometimes it’s easy for them to get lost. Aquamarine may bring some balance to that.
About the October 28th Lucky Color (Red)
The color red is known for having more emotional associations than any other color. As a sign that has a lot of emotional depth and passion, this is something that fits Scorpios’ sensibilities. Scorpio itself tends to be a very polarizing sign in the astrology community, so in that regard, red is also extremely fitting.
Red symbolizes passion and intensity, which are both traits that are very fitting for Scorpio sensibility. Along with this, red can symbolize desire. Scorpios are often known for their sensuality and desire, so their lucky color accurately reflects this trait about them.
Red is often known as a color of extremes, which is a good reflection of Scorpios. Scorpios tend to be all-or-nothing when it comes to most areas of their lives, and are often thought of as extreme.
There can sometimes be a dangerous undertone associated with the color red, especially in Gothic literature. This is something else that makes sense to Scorpio, who can sometimes be revenge-driven. Red can be seen as the color of blood or the color of war, which is befitting Scorpio’s ruling planet Mars.
Red is a color that can also evoke a sense of drama—a common example of this being red lipstick. This drama and boldness goes along with the fearlessness that Scorpios have, never being afraid of standing out.
Whether you’re wearing your lucky color or you’re choosing accents for your house, you can’t go wrong with red if you’re a Scorpio.
