Some people say the true date of Samhain is 7th of November because the Sun is at 15° Scorpio at this day, which would make 7th of November astrologically more correct date than 31th of October as I've understood this. There's even a small note about this in JoS astrological calender
8 degrees of Scorpio however represents the eternity of life and death, it is an important date for the Magnum Opus.
8 is the number of eternity and is the number of Scorpio as a sign of the magician, of death and of eternity and strongest sign of the zodiac.
On Samhain I agree that it is October 31st.
15 degrees is one of the worst degrees in the zodiac but I'm not sure if the enemy could have corrupted our parties to make them coincide with this very unfortunate degree.
Perceiving the dates of power with psychic powers requires a remarkable sensitivity to energies and knowledge of the astral and astrology, the veil between the physical world and the astral world is much thinner for how the Sun is placed in particular degrees, the divination, communication with the dead and the Gods is highly exalted in that interval of time and operations based on the sign of the Moon in particular are exalted and are essential dates for the meditative operations of the Magnum Opus.
