Mars enters its own sign of Scorpio on October 27, continuing the most intense and transformative periods of the astrological year. As the warrior planet plunges into the mysterious waters of Scorpio, we are all called to explore the deepest currents of our 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 hardly promote emotional balance and well-being. It is a water sign, but unlike the rivers of Cancer or the vast oceans of Pisces, Scorpio represents swamps, stagnant water where things break down and transform into something new.
Mars, our cosmic warrior, feels at home in this sign he rules. In this case, Mars operates not through direct confrontation but through strategic depth, emotional intelligence, and psychological insight. This is not the seemingly assertive Mars of Aries; It is Mars working behind the scenes, using passion, perseverance and determined action to achieve lasting transformation.
Dance with Mercury: the mind meets passion, until November 24
Throughout this transit, Mars travels closely with Mercury, creating a powerful combination of mental acuity and passionate drive. This conjunction brings:
- Sharp and penetrating communication. that cuts through the superficiality
- Intense mental focus for research and research
- powerful words that can heal or hurt deeply
- Strategic thinking combined with emotional intelligence
With Mercury next to Mars in Scorpio, our thoughts dive deep into the mysteries of life. This is excellent for detective work, psychological analysis, investigations and any activity that requires getting to the truth of matters. However, be careful with verbal intensity: the words spoken now carry the sting of the Scorpio and can penetrate deeply.
Jupiter’s blessing: the trine of grace
Adding a beautiful dimension to this transit is Jupiter’s trine aspect to Mars in Scorpio. This harmonious connection brings:
- Expansion of courage to face our deepest fears

- Protected transformation – Jupiter acts as a divine safety net.
Jupiter’s benevolent influence helps ensure that the intense transformations of Mars in Scorpio serve our highest good. It’s like having a wise teacher guiding us through the journey to the underworld, making sure we come out stronger and not scarred.
The call of Kundalini energy
The eighth house and Scorpio are deeply connected to Kundalini energy, that powerful serpentine force that lies dormant at the base of the spine. Mars in Scorpio intensifies this energy, which can manifest itself in different ways:
channeled upwardThis Kundalini energy creates profound mystical experiences and a desire to merge with the Divine. This is the path of the spiritual warrior, who uses the impulse of Mars for transcendence and liberation.
channeled downcan create intense sexual experiences that, while momentarily ecstatic, can become addictive and exhausting. People may discover during this transit that no amount of physical gratification will satisfy their deep longing for the Divine.
The secret of Mars in Scorpio is learning to channel this powerful energy upward through spiritual practice, meditation, and conscious transformation rather than letting it dissipate through lower expressions.
Transformation through crisis
Mars in Scorpio often brings change through intensity. Like the eighth house it naturally rules, this placement can bring surprises that test the transformation of the soul. These challenges force us to:
- Overcome the problems of the material world.
- Move towards spirituality and the Divine
- Face our deepest fears and shadows
- Let go of what no longer serves us
When we resist the call to change during this transit, we suffer. The key is to see Mars as a messenger calling us to leave the past behind and embrace transformation. This is a time when a career change, the end of toxic relationships, or major life changes become not only possible but necessary.
Phoenix Rising
Ultimately, Mars in Scorpio calls us to become the Phoenix Rising, to transform our deep emotions and Kundalini energy into something higher. Can we move beyond selfish Martian energy and merge into something deeper? Can we use our passion not for conquest but for transformation?
During this transit, we are invited to:
- Dive deep in psychological and spiritual practices
- Face our shadows with courage and determination
- Transform pain into power through conscious work
- channel passion in a significant transformation
- Embrace the mystery of the cycles of death and rebirth

Embracing the depths
Mars in Scorpio reminds us that we are more than our physical body or our bank account. We must plunge into the mysterious darkness of the transcendental world to discover our Divinity. The eighth house and Scorpio teach us that only when we immerse ourselves in the mysterious void can we discover our own infinity.
This transit can provoke great fear, but that fear is only there to lead us towards self-discovery and discovering our true Self. With Mercury sharpening our perception and Jupiter blessing our journey, we have all the cosmic support necessary to embrace these mysteries and emerge transformed.
Remember: Mars in Scorpio is like the magician’s magic box: anything that goes into it can be transformed. Will you allow yourself to be cut in half and emerge as a completely different person? The choice and the power are yours.
May this transit of Mars in Scorpio bring you the courage to face your depths and the wisdom to transform your shadows into light.
