Capricorn | Scorpio Season 2025
The Universal Overlay
Scorpio Season | October 22 - November 21
A descent begins—not as collapse, but as initiation. The light continues its withdrawal, and with it, the veil between worlds grows thin. We move past Libra's negotiated peace into something more primal, more truthful. Scorpio Season strips away the decorative and the diplomatic, asking us instead to meet what lies beneath: the raw, the hidden, the transformational. This is the season of death and rebirth, where we compost what no longer serves and discover what refuses to die.
The air shifts from collaborative to penetrating. Where Libra sought balance through relating, Scorpio seeks power through merging—with our shadows, our desires, our deepest fears. There's an erotic quality here, not merely sexual but mystical: the pull toward intensity, toward truth that burns, toward bonds that transform rather than simply connect. We're no longer observers of our impact on others; we become entangled, enmeshed, fundamentally altered by intimacy.
This season demands we face what Libra's mirror revealed. If autumn's first act showed us our relational patterns, its second act asks: *What are you afraid to lose? What are you afraid to become?* The karmic reckoning deepens. Scorpio doesn't negotiate—it excavates. It finds where we've hidden our power, our shame, our longing, and brings it all into the dark light of awareness. This can feel like crisis, like collapse, yet it's truly metamorphosis. The caterpillar doesn't politely transition; it dissolves entirely before it flies.
As the nights lengthen and Samhain approaches, those attuned to the unseen world feel their power surge. The psychic, the intuitive, the occult—all become more accessible. Those who prefer the surface may feel besieged by intensity, by emotional undertows they can't quite name. Where do you fall? Perhaps you're discovering that you contain both the death wish and the life force, both the detective and the mystery. Scorpio doesn't offer the equinox's compromise; it offers totality. Everything or nothing. Truth or illusion. Transformation or stagnation.
Embrace the depths. Dare to merge with what you fear. Honor your rage, your desire, your grief—they are portals, not problems. Investigate your obsessions and compulsions; they reveal where your soul is demanding evolution. Trust what emerges from the darkness; it has been composting all year. Most of all, surrender to the season's alchemy. Its work is not gentle, but it is sacred. What you release now makes room for the rebirth that winter promises.
Your Seasonal Theatre
Sun in the 11th HOUSE | Earth in the 5th House
Mysterious Originality
As the Sun and Earth move through the signs and houses, they trace an axis of reach and depth within you, guiding growth toward a fuller, more balanced expression. Different dimensions of self awaken along this path.
Each season also casts its own lens, shaping how others perceive your natural sign and allowing both you and those around you to see you in a new light. Meanwhile, your sign’s yearly new moon seeds unfold through their phases, grounding the season with added layers of maturity and development.
Together, these movements form the undercurrents of your season—the themes that shape its narrative. At the center, the ruling planet steps forward as the protagonist. Its house reveals the setting, its sign colors the tone and quality of the action.
Woven together, the theme defines the kind of story playing out, while the ruling planet shows where and how it comes alive—the stage of your season’s living theatre.
The Theme
This season is a story of shared command and strategic connection. With the Sun illuminating your 11th house, your networks, collaborations, and collective influence take center stage. The Earth, grounding your 5th house, reminds you that leadership and authority are most effective when tempered with creativity, joy, and the personal expression of what you’ve cultivated. Together, they trace an axis of mastery and collaboration: the art of extending power while honoring individuality.
Scorpio Season casts Capricorn in a 3rd-house light, seeing your energy as intellectual, resourceful, and threaded with insight. Others recognize you as the connector—the strategist who can weave complex systems into coherence, who knows where power lies and how to share it. You are the architect of both action and understanding.
Your yearly seeds have reached a stage akin to the Rescue from Without in the hero’s journey—external support appears, allies emerge, and the mastery you’ve worked toward is strengthened through integration with others. The theme of the season, then, is cultivating influence with awareness: to lead, connect, and inspire without losing the integrity of your own authority.
The Scenes
Enter Mars, the ruler of Scorpio Season and the force animating your narrative.
Through November 3rd, Mars moves through your 11th house in Scorpio, setting a scene of strategic collaboration. Like a chess master guiding key pieces into position, your energy aligns with allies and networks, activating the unseen currents of influence. The setting is deliberate, purposeful, and rich with potential: every action shapes the collective web.
On November 4th, Mars strides into your 12th house in Sagittarius, shifting the scene inward. Here, your focus turns to reflection, intuition, and preparation. What was activated externally now flows inward: plans, ambitions, and alliances are processed and refined in the inner chamber. It is a quiet power, a behind-the-scenes mastery that ensures your next steps are aligned and resilient.
Integration
The season’s journey threads together action and reflection. First, you engage with the world, exercising influence and weaving coherence among networks. Then, you retreat inward, consolidating lessons and integrating the subtle strategies that ensure long-term effectiveness. Leadership and collaboration are balanced with introspection—power becomes both shared and self-aware.
Lyrical Summary
Web of mind, touch of grace,
You move through worlds, leaving a trace.
Mars guides the hand, then stills the heart,
From outward skill to inward art.
Master of influence, quiet and keen,
You hold the web, yet remain unseen.
Taurus Full Moon, November 5th
Tend to the depth and care you need around creativity, joy, and heart. What nourishes pleasure in your style of play, heartfulness in your light, and your slow, embodied way of leading and creating?
Scorpio New Moon, November 19th
Set new goals to feel more empowered in your uniqueness, for more potency in your collaborations, and for growth in your mysterious networks. Step up to pressures to help new inner seeds activate and honor your past year’s accomplishments in identifying what potency means in being fully yourself.
Your Archetypal Journey | The Initiate
Saturn in Pisces (3rd house)
The planet that rules your sign gives you an archetype—a leading character flavor. This planet is a central part of how you show up and your personal agenda. We go on journeys in the skin of our archetypes, like leading characters in books and films. Your ruler, Saturn, is the Father, the Executive, the Initiate, and the Architect.
While the planet ruling the season may be on the main stage, it only takes center stage for the duration of the season. In contrast, your ruling planet is always active for you, even if as a subplot or a supporting character during a season. I like to track your planet’s journey, much like a hero/heroine’s journey unfolds, by observing its synodic period in relation to Earth.
