Pisces | 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 9th HOUSE | Earth in the 3rd House
Transformative Vision
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 grounded vision and purposeful expression. With the Sun illuminating your 9th house, your worldview, wisdom, and philosophical pursuits are brought into focus. The Earth, grounding your 3rd house, reminds you that even the loftiest insights must be communicated and connected to others. Together, they trace an axis of vision and practicality: the art of translating inspiration into tangible, relatable understanding.
Scorpio casts Pisces in a 5th-house light, seeing your energy as creative, expressive, and magnetic. Others perceive your gifts as both compelling and generative—you are a performer, teacher, and guide, holding attention through a combination of skill and subtle influence. You step into a starring role, able to inspire while remaining rooted in humility.
Your yearly seeds have reached a stage akin to the Ultimate Boon in the hero’s journey—a moment of receiving what you most need, discovering purpose that may differ from expectation. The theme of the season, then, is sharing perspective with clarity, grounding your mind and vision, and being recognized as a leader through skill, presence, and insight.
The Scenes
Enter Mars, the ruler of Scorpio Season and the animating force of your narrative.
Through November 3rd, Mars moves through your 9th house in Scorpio, highlighting exploration, teaching, and visionary action. This scene is one of bold insight, intellectual courage, and purposeful outreach. Like Gandalf guiding the Fellowship or Yoda instructing Luke, you navigate challenges with a steady hand, turning vision into actionable steps.
On November 4th, Mars shifts into your 10th house in Sagittarius, moving the narrative into visibility and public recognition. Here, your influence is seen, and your efforts translate into leadership and authority. The focus shifts from preparation and insight to execution and impact—what was once cultivated in the mind and spirit now manifests in tangible outcomes.
Integration
The season’s arc weaves inner vision with outer expression. First, you cultivate perspective and purpose through study, reflection, and skillful engagement. Then, you translate that into action, allowing your leadership to emerge naturally. Humility and authority harmonize, creating influence that is both wise and grounded.
Lyrical Summary
Vision held with steady hand,
You turn the vast into the planned.
Mars guides thought, then lifts it high,
Where purpose meets the watchful eye.
Teacher and leader, quiet yet seen,
You bring the unseen into the scene.
Taurus Full Moon, November 5th
Tend to the depth and care you need around mental health, learning, and community. What nourishes pleasure in your thinking, beauty in your ideas, and your embodied way of learning and communicating?
Scorpio New Moon, November 19th
Set new goals to feel more empowered in your perspectives, for more potency in your visions, and for growth in your alluring beliefs. Step up to pressures to help new inner seeds activate and honor your past year’s accomplishments in identifying what potency means in principles.
Your Archetypal Journey | The Pilgrim
Jupiter in Cancer (5th 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, Jupiter, the Spiritual Guide, the Poet-Saint, the Dreamer, and the Mystic.
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.
