Gemini | 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 6th HOUSE | Earth in the 12th House
Transformative Purpose
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 alignment and integration. With the Sun illuminating your sixth house, attention turns to work, daily routines, and the structures that support your health and efficiency. The Earth in your twelfth house grounds you in reflection, rest, and the inner life, creating a balance between action and contemplation.
Scorpio casts your Gemini energy in an eighth-house light: magnetic, intense, and transformative. You are seen as someone who navigates complexity with curiosity and insight, drawing others into your orbit through both intellect and presence. Meanwhile, your yearly new moon seeds approach their halfway point, entering a stage akin to Meeting the Goddess in the hero’s journey—temptation, insight, and the invitation to unite heart and mind. The call is to find humility, to let consciousness guide purpose, and to integrate wisdom into practical living.
The Scenes
Enter Mars, ruler of Scorpio and the season’s protagonist.
Through November 3rd, Mars energizes your sixth house in Scorpio. The scene is one of focus and intensity: the workday, daily habits, and routines become arenas of transformation. Challenges may feel amplified, yet in this crucible, mastery emerges. Think of Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins—training, discipline, and confronting shadows in order to channel power for meaningful action. Here, effort is alchemy: turning labor and attention into skill, insight, and personal empowerment.
On November 4th, Mars moves into your seventh house in Sagittarius. The stage shifts outward: relationships, partnerships, and mirroring dynamics become central. What you’ve learned through effort and reflection now meets others, revealing both alignment and discrepancy. Perspective expands as interaction becomes a tool for growth. Like the mentorship between Gandalf and Frodo in The Lord of the Rings, guidance, challenge, and reflection bring the heart and mind into harmony while navigating the world together.
Integration
The season’s theme of integration threads through both acts. First, discipline, attention, and humility anchor the inner self, sharpening your skills and strengthening awareness. Then, relationships and partnerships act as mirrors, amplifying lessons learned and illuminating the interplay of personal effort and collective engagement. Balance is found not in avoidance but in mindful navigation of work, habit, and connection.
Lyrical Summary
Intensity in work, reflection in the quiet,
The inner forge burns while the mind learns.
Temptation meets insight, heart meets mind,
And Mars guides the hand with focus and fire.
Outward, relationships mirror the lessons,
Showing where alignment blooms,
Where humility and purpose unite,
And daily effort becomes artful mastery.
Taurus Full Moon, November 5th
Tend to the depth and care you need around dreams, healing, and inspiration. What nourishes your pleasurable dreaming, your idealization of beauty, and your material way of feeling inspired?
Scorpio New Moon, November 19th
Set new goals for life to feel more purposeful in your entanglements, for more investigative work, and for growth in your longing to do powerful work. Step up to pressures to help new inner seeds activate and honor your past year’s accomplishments in identifying what potency means in hard work.
Your Archetypal Journey | The Trickster
Mercury in Scorpio (6th 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, Mercury, is the Trickster, the Coyote, the Cosmic Messenger.
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.
