Virgo | 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 3rd HOUSE | Earth in the 9th House
Alluring community
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 learning, insight, and awakening perspective. With the Sun illuminating your third house, your mind, communication, and immediate environment are highlighted, inviting curiosity and active engagement. The Earth in your ninth house grounds Virgo energy in higher learning, philosophy, and long-term vision, connecting daily awareness with expansive understanding.
Scorpio casts Virgo in an eleventh-house light, highlighting your progressive, collaborative, and networked potential. You are seen as someone who can connect ideas to communities, bridge knowledge with purpose, and foster innovation. Meanwhile, your yearly new moon seeds are moving through a phase akin to the “Meeting the Supernatural Guide” in the hero’s journey—an encounter with wisdom, mentorship, or unexpected insight that sparks transformation. The season calls for integrating new consciousness, reframing old patterns, and discovering humor or absurdity in previously rigid structures.
The Scenes
Enter Mars, ruler of Scorpio and the season’s guiding force.
Through November 3rd, Mars energizes your third house in Scorpio. The scene is dynamic, intense, and mentally charged. Daily processes, communication, and small-scale projects become arenas for assertive, courageous action. Think of Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock: observing, questioning, connecting dots, and testing ideas against reality. Here, Mars drives clarity, decisive thought, and strategic mental engagement, laying the groundwork for broader transformation.
On November 4th, Mars moves into your fourth house in Sagittarius. The stage shifts inward to home, family, and foundational structures. Bold energy is now applied to creating secure, meaningful spaces, both physically and emotionally. Like Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, navigating family dynamics while asserting personal agency, this period is about aligning vision with environment, finding grounding for newly inspired insights, and translating wisdom into practical structures.
Integration
The season’s theme threads through both acts: first, sharp observation, inventive thought, and strategic engagement build a bridge to progressive insight. Then, inward application allows these realizations to reshape home, security, and foundational structures. By blending mental acuity with grounded action, Virgo cultivates awareness, humor, and wisdom that can rewire outdated patterns and foster authentic collaboration.
Lyrical Summary
Mind attuned, vision aligned,
New guides whisper, old forms unwind.
Mars sparks insight, thought takes flight,
From words to walls, the scene ignites.
Humor and wisdom reframe the old,
Virgo moves with courage bold.
Taurus Full Moon, November 5th
Tend to the depth and care you need around vision, beliefs, and perspectives. What nourishes your nature-based philosophies, your perspectives on beauty, and your material way of pushing boundaries?
Scorpio New Moon, November 19th
Set new goals for life to feel more potent in your connectivity, for more investigative ideas, and for growth in your precise intellect. Step up to pressures to help new inner seeds activate and honor your past year’s accomplishments in identifying what social empowerment means.
Your Archetypal Journey | The Trickster
Mercury in Scorpio (3rd 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, ongoing agenda. We go on journeys in the skin of our archetypes, like leading characters in books and films. Your ruler, Mercury, is the Craftsman, the Alchemist, the Problem-Solver, and the Sacred Scribe.
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.
