From September 22nd to November 4th, Mars moves through secretive Scorpio, where the planet of action and aggression goes undercover. During this period, hold your cards close to your chest. When you keep up your poker face and refrain from blurting out all your thoughts, you have more time to carefully assess your situation. Pay attention to the subtle undercurrents of your conversations or the shifting atmosphere of any rooms you scuttle into. Note any sly glances or sneaky power plays, and use this intel to sharpen your own game plans. Over the coming weeks, don’t take any guidance from Captain Obvious. Instead, practice digging for the kind of truth that’s hidden beneath the surface.
Mars is at home in this fixed water sign, which is one of the warrior planet’s domiciles. Yet this placement also has a shadow side. If you notice yourself questioning others’ motives or acting dodgy for no reason, take a breath. You don’t have to keep everyone in the dark; you can let down your guard and seek trustworthy allies who can help you achieve your goals. And find healthy outlets for any simmering anger, since Mars in Scorpio has a knack for bottling up difficult feelings. Moving your body, venting to a friend, or spilling all the juicy details in your own private burn book can be productive ways to release your frustrations before they boil over.
This transit nudges us to get in touch with our deepest impulses. Sound intense? It is. Take this opportunity to slice through superficial distractions and plot your next chess move. There’s no time to waste.

You can’t be a successful negotiator if you don’t know what you want. While Mars is in Scorpio, clarify your bottom line. Whether you’re dealing with grants, loans, business agreements, or creative collaborations, be honest about what does (and doesn’t) work for you.
You have to advocate for your needs if you want someone to meet them. Don’t wait for other people to fight your battles for you. To make it easier, do a little research behind the scenes. Sharpening your strategies will give you an edge if the going gets tough.
Commit to honoring your worth in your exchanges, no matter what. Your dedication to your ideal outcome will keep you going.
Hello, silent treatment, your old friend. While Mars is in Scorpio, notice how you tend to manage anger, frustration, and other difficult feelings in your closest relationships.
If you find yourself getting stubborn or shutting people out, it’s probably because there’s something you deeply want. But instead of punishing someone for not giving it to you, focus on either giving it to yourself or expressing what you need. Withholding and avoiding don’t work in the long run. You have to be honest and take action.
The more you practice advocating for yourself, the easier it gets to handle conflict — no ghosting required.
It’s time to lock in. While Mars is in Scorpio, clarify your goals for your work or health routines — then commit to achieving them. This isn’t the moment to go through the motions or accept half measures. If you want results, don’t be afraid to get a little intense.
Ditch any unproductive activities or habits that get in the way of your wellbeing. Sometimes the best way to gain momentum is to do less, not more. But don’t be too hard on yourself in the process. Lightening up and loosening your grip can be acts of self-care.
Go after what you want, even if it freaks people out. As Mars moves through Scorpio, forget what everyone else is doing and listen to what your body is telling you.
Be real about what excites you and what exhausts you. And don’t be afraid to defy expectations. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whether other people understand what you’re passionate about. What matters is whether it makes you feel good.
Over the coming weeks, prioritize your deepest desires, and don’t get distracted by the latest viral trends. Your life is yours to live, so enjoy it on your own terms.
Home isn’t just where the heart is; right now, it’s where you’re most powerful. While Mars is in Scorpio, act on your goals for your living space or your family ties.
Over the coming weeks, follow your bone-deep instincts, and don’t doubt your desires. Whether you’re moving house, streamlining your chore schedule, or handling conflicts with your kin, this isn’t the time to scatter your attention and juggle too many tasks at once. Instead, discover what you can accomplish when you go all in.
If tension is building, find a constructive outlet for it. Channeling your frustration into scrubbing the kitchen counters can help you blow off steam — and free up more energy.
We all get the same number of hours in a day, but Mars in Scorpio wants you to use yours to the fullest.
Over the coming weeks, focus on the projects that mean the most to you. It doesn’t matter whether that’s a blog, a community newsletter, or a morning meditation ritual. What does matter is that you go all in and keep motivating yourself to achieve your goals.
Be stubborn and do whatever it takes to finish what you start. And if you get irritated by the pace of your progress, put your frustration into words instead of letting it simmer inside you. Venting to a friend or the pages of your journal will help you clear your head and stay on track.
Zero in on what you really want to create with what you’ve got. As Mars moves through Scorpio, go all in on your money goals. Right now, you’ll make the most progress by focusing on just one or two aims, so don’t scatter your attention.
When obstacles appear over the coming weeks, these aren’t signs to throw in the towel. Let them motivate you to keep working until you get where you want to go. And if one strategy doesn’t bring the results you hoped for, try another. The more persistent you are, the more momentum you’ll build.
But notice if your stubbornness starts to turn into stinginess. If you find yourself withholding or withdrawing from anyone, open up. Others can help you, as long as you’re willing to let them in.
Time to enter incognito mode. While Mars is in Scorpio, don’t give away all your secret plans and most personal goals. Instead, turn inward and plot your next moves in private. This isn’t about being sneaky or dishonest; it’s about getting super clear on what you want and need, without letting anyone else’s input distract you.
If you feel more irritable than usual over the coming weeks, find a healthy outlet for your anger so it doesn’t throw you off-course. Try your go-to movement practice, your favorite breathing exercise, or a venting sesh with a trusted friend.
Frustration is a sign that you’re passionate about something. Let it motivate you to keep going after what you desire, even if your progress is subtle.
Focusing on yourself doesn’t mean you’re not doing anything. As Mars moves through Scorpio, your alone time is extra energizing. Prioritize hanging out solo, resting, and recharging, and guard your peace and quiet as fiercely as possible.
It doesn’t matter how other people feel about what you’re up to behind the scenes. Take this opportunity to turn inward, notice what you want to heal, figure out what’s holding you back, and confront any critical voices or unhelpful thought loops that are getting in your way.
The more you devote yourself to meeting your innermost needs, even when no one else is around, the more momentum you’ll build for achieving your goals.
Whatever you do, do it with your crew. As Mars moves through Scorpio, channel your energy into your friendships, social networks, and community projects. Devotion is key. So focus on what you want to accomplish together, even if others find your dedication a little intense. Right now, you’ll make more progress when you’re willing to go all in.
If you end up getting annoyed with the people around you, seek productive outlets for your frustration. Whatever you create over the coming weeks, you’ll build even more momentum when you refuse to hold back.
If you give up on your ambitions too soon, you’ll never find out what you can achieve. Mars in Scorpio is here to remind you that it’s okay to be persistent — and even a little stubborn — in going after your career goals. Over the coming weeks, clarify what you want to accomplish in your life’s work, and then take pointed action to make it happen.
But don’t worry about letting everyone know what you’re up to. Right now, you can get more done by keeping a low profile, so plot your next moves quietly. Remember: Not all feedback is helpful. Cut through the noise so you can figure out when to ask for support and when to trust your own instincts.
You’re not too intense; you’re committed to achieving your dreams. While Mars is in Scorpio, embrace the part of you that’s laser-focused on your long-term goals. If you want to make progress in your studies, travels, publishing projects, or other bucket-list items, dedication is your ticket to success.
Over the coming weeks, avoid scattering your energy across too many side quests. Clarify your destination, zero in on the actions that will get you there, and follow through. And don’t listen to the naysayers. Just keep trusting your instincts as you forge ahead. If you feel like you’re on the right track, you probably are.
