Mars Enters Scorpio

Mars enters Scorpio, where it radiates a palpably magical, magnetic energy. Yet, as it does so, it creates a square to indomitable Pluto, cautioning us against an inappropriate show of force. An event may now occur that causes our blood to boil. We are keenly aware of our own strength, and so trying to one-up the powers that be can be a tempting prospect, especially if we sense that our ego is being threatened or our emotions are being manipulated. However, if there’s one thing that Mars in Scorpio allows us to do, it’s to play a strategic game. We can wait out the tension, holding our stinger at the ready. We can bide our time until a more diabolical opportunity to play our cards presents itself. The point, after all, isn’t revenge. We don’t want to embarrass our opponent. We want to diminish their influence. We want to make them inconsequential!
Scorpio is fixed water; it’s ice. Mars in Scorpio is that fire and ice quality. It’s the inability to distinguish between freezing and burning. Even though the sun is transiting harmony-driven Libra, the next six weeks have this erotic, thoroughly ALIVE quality because of Mars’ passage through Scorpio. And although we might still be in the post-eclipse soup, Mars in domicile will help us to begin extricating ourselves from the fog. We will start to feel the pace pick up around mid-October, and from there on out, we can expect luck to be increasingly on our side, not only because we are in the right place at the right time, but because we have created lucky conditions through leveraging our sex appeal, capitalizing on our intuition and proactively engaging with our passions.
