Libra | 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 2nd HOUSE | Earth in the 8th House
Mystery in Beauty
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 value, surrender, and rediscovery. With the Sun illuminating your second house, the focus turns to your resources, self-worth, and what you truly value. The Earth in your eighth house grounds this exploration in themes of trust, intimacy, and shared power—what you hold, and what you release. Together, they draw an axis of possession and surrender, asking: what sustains you when the surface of things begins to dissolve?
Scorpio casts Libra in a twelfth-house light, coloring your nature with an aura of mystery, imagination, and quiet inspiration. You’re seen as more introspective than usual, tuning into unseen dimensions where ideals gestate before form. Your yearly new moon seeds are entering a stage akin to resisting the call to action in the hero’s journey—where the familiar world tugs you back, even as something deeper whispers forward. This brings a theme of reintegration and renewal, as you release outdated values, break subtle inner contracts, and begin to glimpse new ideals waiting to take root.
The Scenes
Enter Mars, ruler of Scorpio and the season’s protagonist.
Through November 3rd, Mars energizes your second house in Scorpio. The scene is tactile and transformative—your relationship with material and emotional resources undergoes a test. This could look like reclaiming confidence through deeper self-trust or reevaluating where your energy goes. Think of Neo in The Matrix before he takes the red pill: the illusions of worth and choice shimmer before him, inviting him to see reality through new eyes. Mars here asks you to act from inner value, not external validation.
On November 4th, Mars moves into your third house in Sagittarius. The focus shifts to communication, curiosity, and fresh connections. The energy lifts—what was once internalized becomes articulated. Ideas want to move, conversations spark momentum. Like Jo March in Little Women finding her voice through writing, you discover freedom through honest expression and courageous dialogue.
Integration
The season’s story moves from introspection to inspiration. First, Mars asks you to look within—question your attachments, discern what’s truly worth keeping. Then, you give voice to new understanding, translating insight into words, ideas, and relationships that reflect your renewed values. By surrendering what no longer holds life, you reawaken creative confidence and authentic worth.
Lyrical Summary
Value dissolves, the mirror clears,
Old gold fades, new worth appears.
Mars unearths the power you own,
Then wings your thoughts to realms unknown.
What’s left behind refines the flame—
Libra reborn, yet wholly the same.
Taurus Full Moon, November 5th
Tend to the depth and care you need around intimacy, empowerment, and psyche. What nourishes your sensual vulnerability, your adoration of wealth, and the power you feel in nature?
Scorpio New Moon, November 19th
Set new goals for life to feel more trust in your precise voice, for more investment in your worth, and for growth in the allure of embodiment. Step up to pressures to help new inner seeds activate and honor your past year’s accomplishments in identifying what sharing means when it comes to value.
Your Archetypal Journey | The Heroine
Venus in Libra & Scorpio (1st & 2nd Houses)
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, Venus, is the Mature Heroine, the Poetic Lover, the Justice-Seeker, and the Aesthete.
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.
