Scorpio | 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 1st HOUSE | Earth in the 7th House
Mysterious Centering
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 power, poise, and renewal. With the Sun illuminating your first house, the light falls directly upon you—your presence, your essence, your becoming. The Earth in your seventh house balances this energy through the mirror of partnership, asking you to stay centered even as others reflect your image back to you in unexpected ways. Together, they form an axis of self and other, refining your ability to act from authority rather than reaction.
Being your own season, you become the casting director, and place yourself in a radiant first-house glow: magnetic, self-possessed, unmistakably alive. You are seen as both the storm and the still point—the one who knows what lies beneath and how to channel it with precision. Your yearly new moon seeds are at a stage akin to the ordinary world in the hero’s journey—a moment of culmination and quiet readiness. Having summited one mountain, you pause, surveying what has been built. A subtle restlessness begins to stir, not out of dissatisfaction, but from the soul’s memory of what’s next.
The narrative of the season centers on focus and presence, the art of sustaining power without gripping it. You are both architect and anchor now, seeing your past, present, and future in one sweep. From this height, you become the zodiac’s tuning fork—resonating with the world’s vibration, calling others back to coherence.
The Scenes
Enter Mars, your ruling planet and the season’s protagonist.
Through November 3rd, Mars moves through your first house in Scorpio, amplifying your natural intensity. The scene is charged—this is your origin story renewed. Like Moana returning to the sea she once feared, or Aragorn stepping forward as king, you are reminded that power is not about control but about alignment. Mars here sharpens your will and confidence; you are your own compass, your own force of initiation.
On November 4th, Mars shifts into your second house in Sagittarius. The scene expands from identity to value—what you do with your renewed authority becomes the next question. This is where purpose crystallizes into form, where inner conviction begins to shape outer abundance. The tone lightens, inviting adventure and experimentation: how will you invest your energy, and in what new stories of worth?
Integration
This season brings a rare clarity—the sense of standing at a peak and glimpsing what lies ahead. Mars guides you from the intensity of self-definition into the inspired work of building from that knowing. Presence becomes your superpower; focus your flame where it matters most, and the world will naturally follow your lead.
Lyrical Summary
Summit of flame, breath of still night,
You stand between shadow and light.
Mars renews the pulse, the claim—
What’s yours by essence, not by name.
From vision’s height, the world aligns—
Scorpio, keeper of thresholds and signs.
Taurus Full Moon, November 5th
Tend to the depth and care you need around trust, relationships, and fairness. What nourishes pleasure in relationships, fairness in relational possessiveness, and your embodied way of feeling peace?
Scorpio New Moon, November 19th
Set new goals for life to feel more clear in your empowerment, for more intense physicality or physical healing, and for growth in your mystery and allure. Step up to pressures to help new inner seeds activate and honor your past year’s accomplishments in identifying what potency means in being present.
Your Archetypal Journey | The Lunar Hero
Mars in Scorpio & Sagittarius (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, Mars, is the Lunar Hero, the Assassin, the Reviver, and the Puppet Master.
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.
