On October 12th, the fiery and headstrong planet of Mars will move into the decisive, transformative sign of Scorpio. In more traditional versions of astrological studies, Scorpio was actually ruled by Mars rather than Pluto as we know today, so the two are a very comfortable pair, like returning home after a long day out.

You'll be feeling a very strong, sturdy sense of confidence while these two are together, a confidence you can turn toward and use in many areas of your life.

Something you'll notice once Mars moves into this new sign is that you'll be very much in touch with your wants. Maybe you've been feeling a little lost, floating out at sea without any idea which direction to focus your sighs on, but Mars in Scorpio will provide you with some clarity.

You'll be able to recognize and categorize your desires with much more certainty, ranking them by level of importance or priority. Not only that, but once you have that list set, you'll then be able to start tackling that list right away, feeling motivated and ready to get moving.

Not only will we be more in tune with our desires, we'll also be more in tune with our fears, as both represent emotional depths that Mars in Scorpio can help us reach.

You may be confronted by some uneasy feelings as these fears pop up in your mind, but know that this is a time of profound transformation and self-discovery, so discomfort is expected. Emotions that have been simmering beneath the surface might come to a boil, demanding acknowledgment and release. It's essential to embrace this intensity rather than shying away from it. Use this period to explore your feelings, confront your fears, and understand the source of your desires.

A Bit Of Roughness

Because both Mars as a planet and Scorpio as a sign are known for their aggression, these emotional peaks might manifest as anger. It's easy to lose control of the way you express big emotions in times like this, so you'll need to take that extra step, add that extra filter, really think things through before you speak.

You don't want to risk becoming 'too much' and scaring some people off in a time that's meant to be prosperous and encouraging. Anger is normal and healthy, just be sure that it's justified and appropriate for the context.

Don't Shrink Yourself

After all, Mars in Scorpio is not about impulsive actions but calculated, strategic moves. It's a time when we can harness our determination and focus it on long-term goals. The energy encourages us to be persistent, resourceful, and relentless in our pursuits, which will sometimes call for aggression, but not in a way that will leave people upset.

This doesn't mean you should force yourself to be meek, either. Whether it's in career, relationships, or personal growth, this transit empowers us to make decisions with precision and unwavering commitment.

There's a relationship aspect too, as Scorpio is also associated with sexuality and intimacy. Mars in Scorpio can ignite the flames of passion, bringing a newfound intensity to our romantic relationships, or perhaps lead you to a new fun fling that'll give you the romantic shakeup you've been needing.

For those already in committed relationships, it encourages open communication about desires and boundaries, fostering deeper emotional connections. Now's the perfect time to reflect on what intimacy looks like with your partner, what elements you want to change, and which you want to stay the same.
