10 Creative and Generous Celebs We're Celebrating for Scorpio Season

Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 13 MIN.

As spooky season thrives and we switch up our fits to achieve optimum slay levels for fall, Scorpios are having their moment!

People born under this sign are serious about their creativity, taking part in storytelling that, more often than not, profoundly influences pop culture for good. And they do all that while guarding their personal life and shielding their closest loved ones from public view. You wouldn't always notice it immediately, but once you look deeper, you'll see how queer Scorpio celebs show us just a hint of their day-to-day selves, and then pour their talents into their creative projects – passionate songwriting, emotional acting projects, gorgeous red carpet fits, and beautiful award-acceptance speeches. This is when Scorpios are happiest, and when their life feels most fulfilling. It's really quite fantastic and inspiring the way these celebs have made sure to enjoy the best of both worlds. To these celebs, maintaining a sacred private life for themselves is incredibly important, and it doesn't take away from their commitment to sharing their talents with the world. In fact, it makes them shine brighter!

Multi-hyphenates like "Young Royals" breakout Omar Rudberg, "SNL" comedian Bowen Yang, and "The Acolyte" lead Amandla Stenberg are perfect examples of how Scorpios can have healthy personal lives while performing brilliantly on the world's biggest stages and streamers. The queer celebs on this list are smart, hot, talented – and always their unique, authentic selves. We are honored to have them offering up their hearts to us in so many different ways. From landscape-shifting television shows and genre-exploding music, to playful jewelry design and voicing animated characters, these celebs are one-of-a-kind Scorpios that deserve to be celebrated.

Frank Ocean

We begin with someone who is endlessly handsome and talented, and always leaves us wanting more. While we've been waiting for his new music, Frank Ocean has been designing spectacular jewelry for his luxury brand, Homer. He's also been in talks to direct for cinematic darling A24, performing live at festivals, meeting up with friends at the studio to record things we may never hear, changing up his look, and making streaming moves with his album from eight years ago (and counting). His illusive persona protects an even more complex, introspective, and intuitive inner life. A typical Scorpio, he'll reveal his heart (and his album) to you at his own pace. But once you're in with him, you're in for good. Scorpios are loyal to the end, and really enjoy expressing their feelings through various creative endeavors. We can only hope that this will include expressing himself through new music someday!

Amandla Stenberg


Scorpios are known for going all-in on their passion projects, while maintaining a strong boundary between who they are and what they create. This is obvious in cases like celebrities who aren't active on social media, or who have years-long waits between new projects for fans to consume, but it's equally evident in queer, nonbinary actor and musician Amandla Stenberg, who puts their whole heart and soul into embodying roles, following their enthusiasm for storytelling to whichever new heights it takes them –regardless of potential outcry from very opinionated fans of a franchise they're joining or an artist they're publicly dating. This remarkable child-star-turned-magnificent-young-adult has always been outspoken, beyond brave, and fierce in their engagement with the wide audience they're visible to. And they've kept up their Scorpio fire, being emboldened to make more art by following their heart the whole time. From "The Hunger Games" to "Bodies Bodies Bodies" and "The Acolyte," Stenberg keeps surprising us with their talent, and we can't wait to see where this superstar takes us next.

Willow Smith


Scorpios are creative in a way that feels inventive. Everything they make is a new twist on something, because it comes from such a true place. Willow Smith is no exception. Throughout this queer musician's young life in the spotlight, she's been able to stay true to her curious, adventurous, eclectic self, and the result has been music that constantly expands our understanding of what's possible with music. Her latest album, "Empathogen," has earned critical acclaim, adoring praise from many fellow celebrities of all ages, and has given fans a soundtrack to their lives in an increasingly confusing time. Consistently evolving with an almost otherworldly ease, it's always evident that Willow Smith moves with Scorpio confidence. She knows she's living out her calling with these creative projects, and she's calm and centered knowing that her unique mindset and down-to-earth attitude fuels her art. It's very Scorpio of her to understand at such a young age how transformative it can be when one combines the introspective mediums of art, music, and alternative therapy.

Bowen Yang


Scorpios know they're talented, but it never comes across as arrogant. Instead, this zodiac sign inspires a bold energy that pushes its people to take on any project they know they'll excel at – which makes our lives, as fans of these cool queer Scorpios, all the richer! Whether it's in an "SNL" sketch, a candid confession on his comedy podcast "Las Culturistas," or our regular rewatches of queer rom-com "Fire Island," Bowen Yang is funny, charming, and someone who we can't resist watching whenever he's on screen. In all his specifically, wonderfully queer performances, Yang delivers hilarity and captivating magic. The queer comedian is always a delight to watch, and a lot of the joy that's evident in his acting comes from the Scorpio-driven self-confidence in committing fully to the art that you believe in and staying true to yourself. Here's to many, many more years of Yang harnessing that power.

Michael Cimino


"Is there any Scorpios out there, because listen, this is for us: Make joy a priority; create your life around cultivating that joy." The heartthrob who first won our hearts portraying gay teen Victor Salazar in "Love, Victor" shared this guiding Scorpio philosophy in a slayful shirtless video for fashion brand Coach, and we love to see (him shirtless! But also!) that he's prioritized harnessing the power of being a Scorpio and using it for his good. There's always something alluring about a Scorpio. They are so creatively open, yet brilliantly protective of their personal life; they leave you feeling so impressed by their presence on stage or on screen – and always keep us wanting more. Is "alluring" not also the perfect word to describe Michael Cimino's presence in our lives? From his commitment to thirst trap photoshoots to his joyful hinting at new projects, the actor and musician, whose breakout role as Victor made groundbreaking queer history, is really just getting started. There's so much more to come from the creative, who has voiced animated shows, acted in horror films, released music, and will soon star in a live adaptation of a video game. He's got that Scorpio energy, making sure he follows his heart wherever it takes him.
