Sagittarius | 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 12th HOUSE | Earth in the 6th House
Potent Dreams
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 subtle power and quiet revelation. With the Sun illuminating your twelfth house, you are drawn inward—into dreamtime, imagination, and the mysterious realms where intuition speaks first. The Earth, grounding your sixth house, reminds you that even the most ethereal visions need rhythm and ritual to take root. Together, they trace an axis of mysticism and mastery: the art of weaving the unseen into the seen.
Scorpio casts Sagittarius in a second-house light, seeing your energy as valuable, stabilizing, and deeply resourced. Others may sense your worth before you consciously claim it—your wisdom, though veiled, radiates quiet authority. You are the philosopher turned mystic, translating the ineffable into form.
Your yearly seeds are entering a stage akin to the Master of Two Worlds in the hero’s journey—a moment when opposites reconcile, when spirit and matter begin to converse fluently. You are learning how to navigate both planes at once: trusting the whisper of intuition while tending to the pulse of practical life. This season’s theme, then, is wisdom through subtlety—the capacity to sense what cannot yet be seen and to hold complexity with grace.
The Scenes
Enter Mars, the ruler of Scorpio Season and the animating force of your story.
Through November 3rd, Mars moves through your twelfth house in Scorpio, sharpening the edge of your subconscious. This scene unfolds in dim candlelight—secrets revealed, shadows named, dreams encoded with hidden messages. It’s a period of deep preparation, like Luke Skywalker training with Yoda—learning that true strength comes from inner clarity, not external conquest.
Then, on November 4th, Mars strides into your first house in Sagittarius, and the light returns. What was brewing beneath the surface bursts into life. You become the messenger again, carrying truths that were first whispered in dreams. The tone shifts from introspection to expression, from inner mastery to radiant motion. The phoenix rises—and this time, it knows what the fire was for.
Integration
The season’s journey brings both stillness and renewal. First, you retreat to commune with what lies beyond the veil. Then, you emerge, embodying what you’ve learned. The work is to balance these worlds—the mystic and the maker, the dreamer and the doer. In this dance, wisdom finds its ground, and subtlety becomes strength.
Lyrical Summary
Veiled flame beneath the skin,
You learn the strength of silence within.
Mars stirs dreams, then clears the smoke,
Truth steps forward—the sleeping awoke.
Seer and sage, your essence unfurls,
Keeper of balance between two worlds.
Taurus Full Moon, November 5th
Tend to the depth and care you need around wellness, lifestyle, and work. What nourishes pleasure in your day-to-day, purpose in beautiful work, and your slow, embodied way of attending to rituals and routines?
Scorpio New Moon, November 19th
Set new goals for life to feel more clear in your spiritual empowerment, for more potency in your dreams and fantasies, and for growth in your mysterious inspiration. Step up to pressures to help new inner seeds activate and honor your past year’s accomplishments in identifying what potency means in surrender.
Your Archetypal Journey | The Pilgrim
Jupiter in Cancer (8th 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, is the Sage, the Mentor, the Pilgrim, and the Seeker.
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.
