In a transitional year that serves as a portal between timelines, how is your definition of personal power evolving? And most importantly, what are the mental barriers that need to crumble for you to redefine it so you can attain it? Scorpio season 2025—spanning between October 22 and November 20—will have you ask these deep questions. Being one, if not the most, misunderstood zodiac signs, Scorpio brings an energy of deep truth.
Scorpio’s no-nonsense influence shows you the way towards the deepest parts of yourself and your psyche, giving you the keys to unearth your deepest desires. This is particularly true in 2025! With almost every single planet in the sky either traveling in the skies of Scorpio or being positively activated from it, there is no joking around: the Universe is opening a portal for you to step into your power.
There’s only one caveat: the influence of the mavericks of the sky, Uranus and Mercury. Towards the end of the season, your ability to change and adapt will be tested. This is brought to you by Mars entering Sagittarius and clashing with Uranus, along with the third and last Mercury retrograde of 2025. From November 9 to November 29, Mercury goes retrograde, beginning in Sagittarius but mostly in Scorpio. As it always does, the retrograde of Mercury will assist you in shifting your mindset, but with it comes the need to open your heart, too.
Water energy will be incredibly prevalent all season long, inviting reflection, forgiveness, emotional rapport, and healing. Even the most intellectual types will be in their feels now as a total of seven planets form a Grand Water Trine in the sky above us. Since retrograde Mercury is part of this configuration, processing our feelings by expressing, journaling, and unpacking them is not only the key to embodiment—it’s preparation for 2026. In the year ahead, all Mercury retrogrades will occur in water signs (more on that soon).
This season’s major lunar events—the November 5 Super Full Moon in Taurus and the November 20 New Moon in Scorpio—activate Jupiter as the gas giant goes retrograde on November 11. During these two weeks, expect to receive messages from your spirit guides and ancestors about how to respond. If you set the intention to listen, you will be guided in how to personally flow in the midst of the great collective change. While all kinds of blasts from the past inundate this season, we’re wrapping up major cycles, storylines, and ways of existing in the world, in preparation for 2026, a year that fully ends the job of shifting the world as we have known it.
Find out how Scorpio season 2025 is affecting your sign with your horoscope below. Read your rising as well as your sun sign.
Scorpio Season Horoscopes 2025
Aries
You’re in for a month of expansion, Aries! A new sense of clarity arrives when Neptune, the planet of illusion, leaves your sign, starting October 22. Between now and late January, you’re bound to feel more driven concerning your personal goals. October 27, in particular, super-charges your ambition, when a risk-taking action could either open a door or unleash a series of lucky breaks. November 3 is another date to keep an eye on, when the possibility of making a dream come true could suddenly show up at your door in the form of a spiritual mentor or miraculous help.
On a more practical note, it looks like part of your focus will be on your finances. This season’s lunar events, the November 5 Super Full Moon and the November 19 New Moon, point to money-related news. Do keep an eye on your expenses around November 7, when the planet of surprises, Uranus, reactivates your second house of money. Between now and late April, you might run into an unexpected expense, so make sure to always save for a rainy day, in case this is how it materializes. On a more spiritual note, Uranus can help you shatter any limiting beliefs around money and self-worth.
Your Mercury Retrograde Story
This is when the retrograde of Mercury comes into the picture! Between November 9 and November 17, you’ll become aware of the fact that your entire belief system is changing. Between November 19 and November 29, it becomes obvious that this is connected to the value you give to things: relationships, money, and even time itself.
Taurus
Relationships play an important role for you this season, Taurus, as Scorpio shines a light on the state of your closest relationships and even business affairs. Communication plays a key role in your life as you establish one-on-one connections as well as collaborative partnerships all season long. An important conversation or milestone takes place at the November 5 Super Full Moon, which manifests in your sign. Majestic in view and emotional in nature, this lunar event is about expressing how you feel, fully and without filters. Since emotional, water energy will be prevalent, opening your heart could bring closeness with someone special, possibly culminating in a new relationship or partnership at the November 19 New Moon.
This season, it will be key to cultivate flow and openness to change as celestial change-maker, Uranus, re-enters your sign. Between May of 2018 and July of this year, this force electrified your life, helping you break free from all sorts of conditioning and limiting beliefs. As this influence returns between November 7 and April 26, there’s still something you must liberate yourself from for your full brilliance to come out and shine. You’ll get downloads on what you’re meant to release on super-charged dates: October 28, November 4, and November 7.
Your Mercury Retrograde Story
For you, this Mercury retrograde is all about weighing the state of your relationships. From clients, to financial advisors or business partners, to even your closest friends, you’ll be redefining the terms of your contracts and agreements. Since this retrograde carries an energy of growth, the effort you invest will leave your relationships in a better state.
Gemini
This is a season to move carefully, Gemini, especially when it comes to your career. Neptune, the planet of illusion, returns to your career sector between October 22 and January 26, bringing confusion about your professional goals and direction. On the positive side, Neptune can provide you with inspiration, especially when its effects are harnessed by embracing spiritual and meditative practices. The days surrounding November 3, as well as the November 19 New Moon, are specifically powerful for utilizing the power of vision and artistry to manifest a cherished goal. After all, Scorpio rules your sixth house of work, meaning that this season, you’re aiming to hit new levels of productivity.
If you’ve been focused on a partnership, Mars blazing through Sagittarius between November 4 and December 14 fuels your ambition. The very first days of this astrological transit could feel unsettling due to unexpected surprises and events. Uranus, the planet of change, will be active in your sign around this time, when going with the flow as much as possible is key. The good news is that Uranus leaves your sign, bringing a slower pace to your life between November 7 and late April of 2026.
Your Mercury Retrograde Story
Mercury is your planet, meaning its retrogrades are always transformative. This time around, Mercury will have you rethink the way you approach business partnerships and clients, as well as your daily work routine. The second part (November 18-29) could see you reviewing the boundaries and foundation of a romantic relationship, too.
Cancer
Even with Mercury retrograde, Scorpio season could be one of your best seasons in 2025, Cancer. With a total of three planets activating fortunate Jupiter in your sign, you’ll be feeling positive about life, and a golden opportunity might arrive! Of course, the more intentional you are about chasing your desires, the better the results will be. Some of your luckiest dates this season are October 27, November 11, and November 16. The November 19 New Moon in Scorpio is a wonderful time to set intentions around personal growth, creativity, and basically anything your heart desires. If it’s a long-term goal, set your plan to manifest at the May 1, 2026, Full Moon in Scorpio.
Career-wise, you have a productive month ahead of you. Neptune leaving your career sector means you’ll have more creativity around your long-term goals for the next few months (until January 26). Mars is the driving force helping you get stuff done as it travels in your sector of daily work between November 4 and December 14. Since Mars only activates this area of the sky once every two years, this is the time to get ambitious about your productivity.
Your Mercury Retrograde Story
The beginning of this Mercury retrograde (November 9-18) might expose the need to either re-conceptualize a project or rethink your work-related processes. The second part of the retrograde (November 19-29) is about finding creative solutions to these problems. Use these days to play around with all the options you’re considering.
Leo
Scorpio season reminds you of one of your themes of the year, Leo. With Jupiter being strongly activated now, you’ll be inspired to continue working on your sense of spirituality. Practices like meditation, Akashic Records, and tarot can be a conduit for personal evolution. Working with a mentor or spiritual advisor on or around November 11, when Jupiter initiates its retrograde, can set you on a trajectory for future growth in 2026 and 2027. This season’s lunar events, the November 5 Full Moon and the November 19 New Moon, shed light on how your spiritual practices have helped you navigate change.
Professionally speaking, a blast from the past arrives when celestial change-maker, Uranus, returns to your career sector. Either people or situations you considered gone could return for closure, which could be achieved between November 7 and April 26, 2026. Since Uranus is connected to idea-creation, tech, and brilliance, you’re receiving the opportunity to harness its energy either by brainstorming or updating your work tools or flows. After all, Mars traveling in Sagittarius between November 4 and December 14 is all about rekindling your creativity. Along these lines, the retrograde of Mercury can be beneficial too.
Your Mercury Retrograde Story
Between November 9 and November 17, Mercury retrograde inspires you to play, create, and discover new outlets for both your creativity and imagination. Then, between November 19 and November 29, your focus turns to making changes to your family and home life. A new way of relating with those closest to you arrives at the November 19 New Moon.
Virgo
The season ahead promises to keep you busy, Virgo. With celestial change-maker, Uranus, being activated by other planets in your career sector on October 28, November 4, and November 7, you’ll be adapting to professional changes. The good news is that between November 7 and April 26, you can expect fewer surprises and radical change in this area of your life, giving you a chance to breathe and catch up. Professional collaborations and community connections are also highlighted for you this season. If you get invited to either networking or social events, you might want to attend, as meeting someone who could help you grow is very possible. This is particularly true around this season’s lunar events, the November 5 Full Moon and the November 19 New Moon.
Still, striking a balance between your professional and private lives will be necessary. Mars traveling in your home sector between November 4 and December 14 means your family might require your presence and attention. These few weeks are all about showing up for those you love and making any necessary renovations to make sure you’re life foundations (physical and emotional) are working properly.
Your Mercury Retrograde Story
This is when the retrograde of Mercury comes into the picture! Between November 9 and November 17, you’ll become aware of what needs to be fixed either at home or with your family. Between November 19 and November 29, your focus turns to the connection between mind and heart. Are you communicating with those closest to you with presence and intention?
Libra
A busy season is in store, Libra! Lover Venus will be traveling in your sign until November 5, having you focused on either romantic and business dealings, as well as social events. An important conversation could take place at the beginning of November as Venus clashes with Jupiter and Chiron. Being as honest and openhearted as possible now could mean not only resolving any long-standing issues but also unlocking healing for both parties involved. If you’re committed, the November 5 Super Moon in Taurus would be a fabulous time for a date or spending time talking about or making plans for the future.
Scorpio season also brings powerful moments for your career, with a super-charged Jupiter bringing you opportunities for advancement. You might receive a raise, close a big deal, and perhaps even expand your team. Along those lines, the November 19 New Moon is ideal for setting either personal financial or professional revenue goals. Since New Moons have a six-month effect, make a note to look back at your progress at the May 1, 2026, Full Moon in Scorpio. Since by now, money planet, Venus, will also grace your financial sector, chances are, you’ll hit your target.
Your Mercury Retrograde Story
Mercury, initiating its retrograde in your communication sector (November 9-17) and then moving to your first house of self-worth (November 18-29), has you focused on themes around self-worth, communication, and mental activity. Use this time to truly observe the quality of your inner dialogue, as well as how intentionally you’re communicating with others.
Scorpio
Blessed solar return, daring Scorpio. With a total of four planets traveling in your sign, you’re feeling your mojo back and tuned on! In fact, Libra season was the first of four solar seasons that see your personal power being reawakened. Whichever the nature of your goal, expanding your horizons and exploring your creativity seem to be your gateway to success. The days between October 24 and November 3, in particular, show you the changes you’re being required to make to thrive in the new astrological era, which fully kicks in at the beginning of 2026.
This season’s lunar events are all about finding balance within your relationships. The November 5 Super Moon gives you clarity around the direction either a romantic or business partnership is going. Two weeks later, the November 19 New Moon in Scorpio could mark the return of an opportunity you had considered missed. Infused with retrograde energy, it inspires you to set ambitious goals based on past experiences, but angled towards future growth. With Mars traveling in your second house of money starting November 4, your focus is on your revenue or finances for the next few weeks.
Your Mercury Retrograde Story
Mercury, beginning its retrograde in your financial sector (November 9-17) and then moving to your first house of self (November 18-29), has you focused on themes around self-worth, visibility, and personal resources. Use this time to polish your image as well as get your finances in order.
Sagittarius
It’s not your birthday yet, Sagittarius, but it might feel like it is! With your planet, Jupiter, being activated all season long, you could be in for a lucky break. The days around October 27 and November 16 are particularly fortunate, when life feels filled with opportunity. You’ve been waiting for a career-related project to arrive; it could be delivered by the light of the potent November 5 Super Moon in Taurus. If, on the opposite end, you’re looking for a time to set intentions around spiritual development, the November 19 New Moon guides your efforts. Both lunar events occurring this season carry your planet Jupiter’s energy, which is rare and definitely a time to honor with awareness and ritual.
Something important to keep in mind, however, is that starting November 11, Jupiter is scheduled to begin its yearly retrograde. The personal growth and perhaps life flow that you are accustomed to might slow down a little bit. This four-month period serves as an incubator, having you become a little bit introverted as a way to rethink and refine any strategic goals that you’re currently working on.
Your Mercury Retrograde Story
The beginning of this Mercury retrograde will team up with Jupiter going retrograde to bring you some deep realizations. Between November 9 and November 17, you might notice your approach to life and the outside world shifting. You might become a bit obsessed with figuring out why you’re feeling this way—but in reality, this second period (November 18-29) is a time for surrender. The more you allow yourself to just flow now, the more significant the eye-opening moments will be by the end of the year.
Capricorn
For you Capricorn, Scorpio season promises to bring a much-needed restoring energy your way. While at the beginning, you will be focusing a lot on collaborative efforts, once Mars enters Sagittarius on October 28, you’re entering a period of rest that calls you to recuperate your energy. Between now and December 15, you might need more naps, days off, and might even go on a break. This is in preparation for when Mars travels in your sign between then and January 22. The more time you give yourself to catch up on sleep, life, and the activities you love, the bigger the comeback you will experience at the turn of the year.
Love and romance are also on your mind this season, regardless of your status. A very active Jupiter, traveling in your relationship sector, could bring sweet moments with a partner. If you’ve been thinking about elevating your bond, this deeper commitment could be sealed between the November 5 Full Moon and the November 19 New Moon. If you’re single, Venus entering Scorpio on November 6 sets you up for a few weeks of dating and flirting, if that is of your current interest.
Your Mercury Retrograde Story
This Mercury retrograde brings an introverted/extroverted kind of vibe! Between November 9 and November 17, you might discover certain limiting beliefs being exposed to hopefully soon be overcome. The second part, between November 19 and November 29, some of your friendships or collaborations might experience significant shifts as new information comes to light.
Aquarius
Scorpio season promises to be one of your most career-focused seasons of the entire year, Aquarius! A total of four influences—Mercury, Mars, Venus, and the Sun—will be activating your professional sector, bringing change (more on that below), revelations, endings, and beginnings. An important project could either hit its climax or reach its ending at the November 5 Full Moon in Taurus. Since this is a fortunate lunar event, it could solidify your position in certain collaborative circles. Two weeks later, at the November 19 New Moon in Scorpio, you might be signing either another contract or a client. Since this lunar event is activating retrograde Jupiter and retrograde Saturn, it could bring the return of an opportunity that you had previously considered lost.
Along these lines, you must become aware that the retrograde of Jupiter, spanning between November 11 and March 10, might slow down your productivity. While this might sound annoying, this yearly retrograde is actually an opportunity to perfect not only your processes in place, but also your craft. The more you focus on reaching excellence now, the more you will grow in 2026.
Your Mercury Retrograde Story
This is when the retrograde of Mercury comes into the picture! Between November 9 and November 17, you might experience changes within your collaborative circles and industry. Between November 19 and November 29, these changes will be reflected within your workload—and to an extreme within your long-term career goals.
Pisces
Scorpio season is incredibly important for you, Pisces, as it features the return of Neptune to your sign. Between 2011 and 2024, Neptune spiritualized your entire existence, but it might have brought a lot of confusion about the direction of your life. As Neptune returns to your sign between October 22 and late January of 2026, you’re wrapping up old story lines and ways of being. Any blast from the past that comes back this Scorpio season is not a resurgence of the old, but an opportunity to process the major moments that you experienced over the past decade!
On a more practical level, Mars entering your tenth house of career and public visibility starting October 28 fuels your fire and desire to succeed. However, to be able to adapt to the professional trends, the message is clear that deconditioning from old belief systems, along with learning and training, is what will help you succeed in the new era. After all, Scorpio season is always a time for you to open your mind to new ways of seeing the world. This time around, a new vision for your life crystallizes at the November 19 New Moon.
Your Mercury Retrograde Story
Mercury going retrograde in your professional sector on November 9 might bring some changes to your workload, collaborative team, and perhaps even your long-term career ambitions. Once this retrograde moves to Scorpio, you might want to harness it by signing up for that workshop, master class, or certification you’ve been eyeing for quite some time, as a way to boost your professional presence.
