Taurus | 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.Seasonal Rhythm
SUN IN The 7th HOUSE | Earth in the 1st House
Dangerous Trust
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 mirroring and trust. With the Sun illuminating your seventh house, the call is to meet others in balance, to cultivate the courage of reciprocity, and to let relationship be a mirror for your own becoming. The Earth, grounding your first house, reminds you that the key to harmony is not self-abandonment but presence—showing up rooted in your own worth, even as you reach toward another.
Scorpio’s light casts your Taurus nature in a seventh-house glow: you are seen as a harmonizer, a steady reflector of value and beauty, someone who helps bring coherence to what is shared. Beneath this, your yearly new moon seeds reach their halfway point, a stage of atonement in the hero’s journey. Here, insight ripens into wisdom, guiding you to face triggers you may once have avoided, and to stand on your own feet with newfound clarity.
The Scenes
Enter Mars, ruler of Scorpio and the protagonist of the season.
Through November 3rd, Mars moves through your seventh house in Scorpio. The setting is relational—charged with intensity, attraction, and confrontation. The atmosphere is one of candor and testing: bonds are deepened not through ease but through honesty, sometimes sharpened by conflict. This scene asks you to explore power dynamics in partnership, whether in love, work, or collaboration. Think of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice—sparring words, clashing wills, but within the tension lies the spark of truth.
On November 4th, Mars steps into your eighth house in Sagittarius. The scene shifts deeper, from outer dynamics to the inner sanctum of union. Here the story broadens into perspective, showing how shared resources, intimacy, and vulnerability become arenas of growth. The mood is both fiery and expansive, suggesting that through trust and courage, you can transform bonds into portals of greater freedom and wisdom.
Integration
The season’s theme of mirroring and trust threads through both acts. First, you encounter relationship as a crucible—where dynamics of attraction, tension, and reflection reveal truths about yourself. Then, you move into a deeper, more expansive stage, where intimacy becomes not a cage but a doorway to perspective and growth. Self-trust anchors the mirror, while union opens the horizon.
Lyrical Summary
The mirror is held before you,
and in it, you find both reflection and fire.
Words spark, tensions press,
yet honesty brings you closer.
Step deeper, and the chamber widens—
what was conflict becomes communion,
what was trigger becomes trust.
Union blooms not in losing yourself,
but in finding freedom together.
Taurus Full Moon, November 5th
Tend to the depth and care you need around self, passion, and clarity. What nourishes your hedonistic centering, your love of nature, and your embodied way of feeling active?
Scorpio New Moon, November 19th
Set new goals for life to feel more trust in your entanglements, for more intimate relationships, and for growth in your longing to entangle with mysterious others. Step up to pressures to help new inner seeds activate and honor your past year’s accomplishments in identifying what fairness means in relational power dynamics.
Your Archetypal Journey | The Heroine
Venus in Libra & Scorpio (6th & 7thHouses)
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 Heroine, the Earthy Lover, the Empress, and the Sensitive Appreciator
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.
