Mars enters Scorpio on October 27th, ushering in the most volatile period of the astrological year. As the planet of warriors dives into the mystical waters of Scorpion, we are all called to explore the deeper currents of the psyche and harness our most powerful energies for transformation.
The intensity of the psychological swamp
Scorpio is a sign of depth and intensity, full of deep and intense emotions that rarely lead to emotional balance or happiness. This is a water sign, but unlike Cancer’s flowing rivers or Pisces’ vast oceans, Scorpio is a symbol of swamps, stagnant waters where things break down and transform into new things.
Mars, our cosmic warrior, is very at home in the sign it rules. Here Mars works through strategic depth, emotional intelligence, and psychological insight rather than direct confrontation. This is no superficially assertive Mars in Aries. This is Mars working behind the scenes using passion, tenacity, and purposeful action to achieve long-lasting change.
