Mars enters Scorpio

Mars enters Scorpio

Mars is in Scorpio from September 1 – October 15, 2027.

Passionate determination and dedication. In Scorpio, Mars is driven and focused on getting what it wants. We are persevering, single-minded, and strong. The desire to experience our emotional depths, as well as the urge to penetrate the surface of life in order to explore deeper levels of existence, is powerful. We are fascinated with what others tend to repress, and are drawn to experiencing and understanding these things.

During this Mars-in-Scorpio cycle, we are less inclined to avoid important issues–we go all in. In some ways, we are attracted to crisis, as we see crisis as transformative and emotionally exciting. We would rather feel extreme emotions than nothing at all, as mediocrity or the “middle road” is felt to be unsatisfying.

Mars in Scorpio themes include:

• Uniquely and perhaps obsessively focused and disciplined when pursuing a desire.
• Instinctive action.
• Rarely backing down.
• Not seeking confrontation, but unafraid and ready to defend and oppose if needed.
• Secretive or simply not very forthcoming about motivations, methods, and goals.
• Having difficulties stopping, calling it a day, letting something go.
• Natural strategist.
• Activity with or disputes over power dynamics, shared resources, taxes, or joint finances.
• Intense attachments, intimacy.
