There is a moment each year when the air thickens, the light bends, and something deeper begins to stir within.
A moment when the world around us seems to speak in symbols, where silence becomes its own language, and where we are invited -gently or powerfully – into the layers of ourselves we don’t often touch.
This is Scorpio Season.
When is Scorpio Season 2025?
Scorpio Season 2025 begins on October 22 as the Sun enters Scorpio, and it continues through November 21, as the Sun shifts into Sagittarius. These dates may differ depending on where you find yourself in the world.
The Spirituality of Scorpio Season
The Descent into Mystery
As the Sun enters Scorpio, we cross a threshold. This is the season of descent. The descent into depth, truth, shadow, and soul. It is a sacred invitation to walk down into the underground layers of our being – to meet what is unseen, unfelt, or unintegrated.
Scorpio does not ask for surface smiles. It asks for honesty. Rawness. Intimacy with what lives beneath the masks and beyond the roles we play.
Just as the Earth pulls its energy inward – into the soil, the roots, the quiet womb of winter – we too are invited to gather our energy, to listen inwardly, and to feel what is true now.
There is medicine here. In the quiet. In the discomfort. In the shedding.
Sacred Death and Devotion
Scorpio is the archetype of death and rebirth, but not in a performative sense. In the sacred, cellular, soul-deep sense.
The kind of death that removes what no longer belongs to your becoming.
The kind of rebirth that comes not from striving, but from surrender.
This season reminds us that we cannot stay in bloom forever. There are moments meant for composting. For curling in. For exhaling the identities, patterns, attachments, and beliefs that once held us – but now hinder our evolution.
This is not a punishment. It’s sacred ecology.
It’s the body’s wisdom. The soul’s knowing.
Scorpio asks us to commit to our evolution with devotion. Not as self-improvement, but as deep remembrance.
Not to fix, but to reclaim.
Power and Intimacy
Scorpio rules power – not domination, but the quiet kind. The kind that arises when we are deeply attuned to our truth, our energy, our inner knowing.
It also governs intimacy. And through this lens, Scorpio Season becomes an exploration of what we share and what we withhold – energetically, emotionally, psychologically, sexually, financially, spiritually.
It is a time to notice:
Where am I leaking energy through unspoken fear or suppressed emotion?
Where am I fusing with others to avoid the discomfort of being fully myself?
Where have I armored against intimacy – and what would it take to open, even slightly?
There is a merging quality to Scorpio. But true merging can only come when we first meet ourselves. This season is not about losing yourself in another. It is about meeting yourself so fully that any sharing becomes sacred rather than sacrificial.
The Shadow and the Flame
Scorpio Season also opens the doorway to shadow work. Not as a trend, but as a remembering that all of us carry stories, wounds, and desires that live in the unconscious.
The shadow isn’t just where we hide shame or grief.
It’s also where we hide brilliance, wildness, power, and passion.
To reclaim our wholeness, we must be willing to sit in the dark.
To feel what we’ve abandoned.
To meet what we’ve exiled.
To bring light to the unmet parts within.
This season asks us to become intimate with our own complexity. To tend to our emotional undercurrents. To allow what was once repressed to speak – and perhaps even alchemize into gold.
Scorpio is ruled by both Mars and Pluto. There is fire and force here. And there is also depth and transformation. These energies meet in a space of purification, of potency, of profound personal power.
This is the flame that does not burn to destroy – but to refine.
A Time of Transformation
In essence, Scorpio Season is a portal of transformation. Not surface change, but deep cellular metamorphosis.
It’s an alchemical journey, if we choose to walk it.
And while the journey may feel intense, it is also deeply regenerative.
Because what dies here isn’t your essence.
What dies is the illusion of separation.
The illusion of control.
The illusions that kept you small, fragmented, or afraid of your own light.
Scorpio holds the wisdom that the soul cannot be harmed by truth.
It is the season of remembering that the more truth we’re willing to feel, the more life we’re able to live.
Scorpio Season Invitations
Let yourself feel deeply, even if it’s messy or unfamiliar.
Make space for release rituals – emotional, energetic, physical.
Explore the themes of boundaries, consent, merging, and sovereignty.
Tend to your energetic hygiene and honor your psychic sensitivity.
Sit with your own emotional honesty.
Return to what you are devoted to – not in your mind, but in your bones.
Meet the parts of yourself that have been hidden, shamed, or feared – with love.
Scorpio Season 2025 Astrology & Transits
This Scorpio Season moves with potency. It offers a series of astrological moments that deepen the invitation inward, stir what’s stagnant, and catalyze change – not just for the sake of movement, but for the reclamation of what’s real. These transits ask us to stay close to the body, close to the breath, and close to what is true beneath the surface.
Below are some of the key alignments guiding us through this season of sacred descent:
October 29, 2025: Mercury enters Sagittarius + Opposes Uranus Retrograde in Gemini
As Mercury shifts into Sagittarius, the mind stretches toward the horizon – but its opposition with Uranus shakes the ground beneath. Expect flashes of insight, sudden revelations, or disruptions in thought or communication. This transit asks us to question what we’ve taken as truth – and to stay open to perspectives that challenge our comfort.
Mercury will remain in Sagittarius until November 18, 2025.
November 1-2, 2025: Venus in Libra opposite Chiron in Aries + Square Jupiter in Cancer
Relational wounds may rise to the surface for healing. This is an invitation to love more wisely, more honestly, more gently – beginning with yourself. A heart stretched wide – perhaps too wide. This energy wants beauty, connection, pleasure, but can overdo it. Find grace in simplicity and depth in restraint.
November 4, 2025: Mars enters Sagittarius + Opposes Uranus in Gemini
This is hot, reactive, liberating energy. Mars in Sagittarius fuels bold movement, but the opposition to Uranus may bring volatility or sudden shifts. Ground your actions in purpose. Let the fire rise, but direct it wisely.
Mars will remain in Sagittarius until December 4, 2025.
November 5, 2025: Taurus Full Moon
A moment of emotional culmination. This Full Moon, in Venus’ earthy sign, illuminates what we are holding onto – and whether it truly nourishes us. With the Scorpio Sun nearby, we’re asked to find stability not through control, but through embodied presence. What do you need to release in order to feel safe within yourself?
More about the Taurus Full Moon coming soon.
November 6, 2025: Venus enters Scorpio
The goddess of love descends into the underworld. Relationships become more intimate, more honest, more alchemical. We crave depth. We long for union that transforms.
Mars will remain in Sagittarius until November 30, 2025.
November 7, 2025: Uranus Retrograde re-enters Taurus
Themes of collective and personal instability around values, finances, and embodiment re-emerge for review. A continuation of larger storylines that ask us to evolve how we relate to security and change.
November 7, 2025: Venus in Scorpio Square Pluto in Aquarius
On this day: love meets power. Desires intensify. This transit may bring deep relational transformation or ask us to confront dynamics of control and surrender. Let the heart stay open, even as it learns to protect itself with truth.
November 9, 2025: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius
As Mercury turns inward, so does the mind. This retrograde asks us to revisit the beliefs, philosophies, or future visions we’ve been carrying. Are they rooted in your truth – or inherited from someone else’s?
This is a retrograde of philosophical reflection. Of questioning what we’ve taken as gospel. Of pausing the outward pursuit of meaning long enough to ask: Is this belief still true for me? Is this dream still mine? Is the future I’ve been aiming for still aligned with who I’m becoming?
Sagittarius is often associated with exploration, optimism, and the pursuit of higher knowledge. But during this retrograde, that search turns inward. We may feel foggy around direction, uncertain of next steps, or confronted by past ideas that once felt solid but now feel shaky.
And that’s okay. This is not a time to know – it’s a time to listen. Words carry power, especially with Mercury in Sagittarius. But retrograde here teaches us that clarity isn’t always found in the statement – it’s often found in the silence between thoughts. In the willingness to hold multiple truths at once. In the grace of not knowing.
This is a time to allow your beliefs to be softened, reshaped, reborn. Not because they were wrong – but because you are growing.
More about Mercury Retrograde coming soon.
November 11, 2025: Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer
Themes of growth, safety, and emotional nourishment come back around for integration.
Jupiter retrograde is a time of reflection, integration, and spiritual recalibration. And in Cancer, that reflection turns toward our inner world – toward what safety means to us, what home feels like in the body, and how we nurture and are nurtured.
This isn’t the expansion of outer achievement. This is the quiet, luminous expansion of emotional wisdom. Of ancestral healing. Of spiritual nourishment found in stillness.
We may revisit themes of:
- Belonging and family patterns
- Self-parenting and inner security
- Emotional generosity and overgiving
- How we define ‘success’ when no one is watching
Jupiter in Cancer wants to care, to protect, to hold. But in retrograde, we’re asked to explore why we care the way we do.
Do we offer care to feel safe? To be loved? Or is it rooted in true connection and reciprocity?
This transit is a chance to heal our relationship with receiving – love, support, nourishment. To deepen our trust in the invisible threads that hold us.
More about Jupiter Retrograde coming soon.
November 11, 2025: Mercury conjunct Mars in Sagittarius
On this day: sharp minds, bold words. This energy can feel impatient, passionate, or reactive. Speak with courage – but don’t rush past nuance.
November 18, 2025: Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio
The mind goes deeper. Truths surface. Unspoken dynamics may begin to reveal themselves. This is an excellent time for shadow work, honest self-inquiry, and energetic recalibration.
Surface answers no longer satisfy. This shift invites us to uncover what’s been hidden – within conversations, memories, and the psyche itself. Communication becomes intuitive, investigative, and emotionally charged.
This is a time for soul truth. For reading between the lines. For revisiting what was once too tender to name.
Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio continues until November 29, 2025.
November 19, 2025: Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio Opposite Uranus in Taurus
A day of insight, breakthrough, or disruption. Stay grounded as new information or realizations arise.
November 20, 2025: Mercury Retrograde Cazimi in Scorpio & Scorpio New Moon
This is the heart of the season. Mercury Cazimi – the moment Mercury meets the Sun – offers clarity in the darkness, a spark of understanding from deep within.
Coupled with the Scorpio New Moon, this is a powerful moment for energetic reset. A potent portal of intention-setting, rebirth, and inner empowerment – particularly around themes of truth, intimacy, and release. With Uranus in opposition, this new moon may arrive with surprise, liberation, or the unexpected. Trust the shake-up. It’s realigning you.

Aries Rising
Scorpio Season stirs your inner underworld – inviting you to explore the unseen layers of emotion, intimacy, and energetic exchange. Themes of power, trust, and transformation rise, especially within relationships or shared resources. It’s a time to let go of control, heal old wounds around vulnerability, and reclaim your energy. This isn’t surface-level healing – it’s soul work. Let what is no longer yours be released. You’re being shaped into someone more whole, more sovereign, more true.
Taurus Rising
This is a sacred mirror season. Your partnerships – romantic, business, platonic – reflect back deeper truths. Dynamics once hidden come into the light. Scorpio Season asks: are your relationships rooted in reciprocity, honesty, and emotional presence? Or are old stories repeating through patterns of power, control, or avoidance? It’s time to transform the way you connect – with yourself and others. Clear space for devotion, for intimacy, for the kind of love that liberates rather than entangles.
Gemini Rising
Your rituals, rhythms, and daily responsibilities are under Scorpio’s microscope. This season offers a transformation of how you care for your body, your energy, your sacred systems of support. Burnout or avoidance may signal where something deeper wants your attention. Where have you been overextending? Where have you outsourced your power? Scorpio Season brings the clarity – and courage—to shift your habits from obligation to empowerment. Make your everyday life an altar of alignment.
Cancer Rising
This is your season to create, to feel, to be fully alive. Scorpio moves through your house of passion, pleasure, and personal expression. It’s a powerful time for healing your relationship with joy, desire, and creativity. Emotional layers may arise around being seen, being vulnerable, or trusting your heart. But you’re not here to hide. You’re here to burn beautifully with the truth of who you are. Let your art, your play, your love – be your transformation.
Leo Rising
You’re called inward – toward home, roots, and emotional foundations. Scorpio Season offers you a moment to tend to what lives beneath the surface: ancestral patterns, family stories, memories held in the body. This is about creating safety not just in your space, but in your nervous system. What needs to be felt so it can be released? What needs to be claimed so it can become your strength? Your inner world becomes your place of power.
Virgo Rising
Your mind becomes a sacred vessel this season. Scorpio illuminates your thoughts, words, stories, and the beliefs you speak into being. This is a time for inner excavation: to revisit old conversations, reframe long-held narratives, and speak your truth with new depth. But not every truth needs to be loud – some need to be held close, whispered into the dark. Listen more deeply than usual. What you discover may shift the way you see everything.
Libra Rising
Scorpio Season pulls you into themes of worth, value, and self-resource. It’s time to explore what makes you feel secure – and where you may be giving away your power in pursuit of it. Money, energy, time, confidence: all are sacred currencies. Do you trust yourself to steward them well? This season invites you to clear old survival patterns and embody a new relationship with abundance, one rooted in inner knowing, not external permission.
Scorpio Rising
This is your return. The Sun moves through your sign, illuminating your becoming. Scorpio Season is your rebirth: a time to shed, to renew, to step into a more authentic expression of who you are. Identity, confidence, boundaries – these are up for refinement. Let go of the versions of you that no longer fit. Let yourself be witnessed as you truly are, even if it means walking through the fire to get there.
Sagittarius Rising
You’re in the in-between, the liminal. Scorpio Season activates your inner world, your unconscious, your dreams. You’re being invited to rest, retreat, and reflect – to tend to the invisible threads that shape your outer life. This is a time of energetic release, healing closure, and emotional cleansing. Give yourself space to process what’s ending. Trust what’s dissolving. Something new will emerge – but not before you honor the sacred space of pause.
Capricorn Rising
Your future is shifting. Scorpio moves through your house of hopes, dreams, and communities. This season brings clarity: Which visions are still aligned? Which groups support your soul’s evolution? What longings are rooted in truth – and which are inherited? You may feel a call to release certain goals or social roles that no longer match your inner growth. Let it go. The future you’re weaving now wants to be built from depth, not performance.
Aquarius Rising
This season draws attention to your legacy – your career, your public path, and your purpose. Scorpio’s influence may stir questions around power, recognition, and the structures you’ve built. Are they aligned with your soul? Or have they been constructed to feel in control? There may be opportunities for release, recalibration, or transformation in your outer life. Let this be a season of soul-centered leadership. You’re not here to perform. You’re here to embody.
Pisces Rising
Scorpio Season expands your inner landscape. It invites you into the sacred terrain of growth, spirituality, and meaning-making. You’re being asked to revisit your beliefs – not just in your mind, but in your bones. What do you truly trust? What wisdom has been waiting for you to slow down enough to hear it? This is a time for study, soul journeys, and deep perspective shifts. You don’t need more answers. You need deeper questions.
