Mars drive
Mars in Scorpio is bursting energy, as Mars finds its home with all its passion, drive, motivation and energy that was suppressed in Libra. From October 12, 2023, until November 24, 2023, Mars comes home in a sign that concentrates on intensity, subtlety, and determination, with a focus on psychology and loyalty. This transit encourages strategic thinking and deep exploration of desires.
Why It Matters: This shift in Mars’s position is significant because it prompts us to confront our deepest motives and emotions. It’s an opportunity for transformation and growth, but it also carries risks. Understanding this energy is crucial for moving forward with action during this transformative period.
Mars in Scorpio is typically associated with driving energy behind the search for hidden truth and insights as well as the ideation and thorough planning of strong strategies born from them. It is also a time when the focus shifts on the smarter use of shared resources: taxes, investments and heritages are all going to become hot topics. This transit invites us to purge our organizations from old materials, ideas or processes no longer required, recycling resources or ideas should be considered as we do so. Finally, this is also a great time to explore the death and rebirth involved in all transformative processes.
The next six weeks we may feel a surge in determination and endurance as the intensity and sometimes obsession we put into realizing tasks, probing for the truth, and exploring the depth of a topic can be strong. When Mars is in Scorpio, there’s no room for half-measures. This energy is passionate, resistant, and determined to its core. It’s the kind of resolve that can move mountains and overcome obstacles.
However, Mars in Scorpio is also associated with resistance, a difficulty in letting go, cynicism, suspicious and jealous minds, and a drive for revenge. This transit can sometimes lead to power struggles as the motives behind our actions can sometimes be opaque, hard to understand (even to us) when driven by our subconscious – stemming from our shadow or insecurities – or downright manipulative when hidden or omitted. There’s a tendency to be too focused on trying to control the environment or the outcome, forgetting that trust comes with transparency.
Mars in Scorpio is however very strong so think twice before embarking on a crusade, especially if you intend to wage a little war on your own. Instead, carefully consider each step before taking action. It’s a time for deep introspection and meticulous preparation, not yet for initiating action.
EXPLORING THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION “WHAT DO WE TRULY SHARE” WITH SINCERITY
AND EMBRACING THE IMPERATIVE CHANGES UNEARTHED BY THIS INQUIRY
CAN POTENTIALLY REIGNITE AND SUSTAIN PASSIONS AND LOYALTY IN THE TIMES TO COME
Loyalty is a driving force during this transit, but it can also give rise to feelings of revenge and an unwillingness to forgive. Be extremely mindful of these tendencies and use the energy of Mars in Scorpio to channel your and others’ loyalty into positive, transformative actions. Whatever difficult feelings you come across, this is not the time to brush them aside. Ignoring them would have undeniably deep repercussions and could trigger some of the above power struggles. It’s important to address these emotions constructively and avoid allowing them to poison your relationships. Use the probing power offered during this transit to dive deeper into the psyche of your detractors and the necessary vulnerability to share your motives in all honesty. If you do so, your personal energy level as well as the concrete results of your collaboration or partnerships are likely to be decupled over the period.
Mars in Scorpio is a cosmic invitation to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and transformation. It’s a time when the veil between our conscious and unconscious minds is lifted, allowing us to confront our deepest desires and fears. By understanding the nature of this transit, you can harness its power to effect positive change in your life and the world around you.
However, with great power comes great responsibility. There is the risk of alienating others by competing for power and control over our environment. Suppressing our desires and motives in order to maintain control can lead to a loss of energy and trust issues. It’s essential to avoid hidden agendas and instead commit to responsibly expressing your motives and intentions.

The square between Mars in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn is a powerful and potentially challenging aspect. Both Mars and Pluto are associated with intense and transformative energies. This square can create friction and tension, as Mars seeks to act and assert itself while Pluto in Capricorn represents deep structural changes and power struggles. Some may suddenly emerge as heroes against systems seen or experienced as repressive and overly restrictive.
We’ll notice a kick-up in the Scorpionic energy levels when this square is activated by the eclipses in Libra and Taurus on October 14 and 28 respectively. This tension will act on a grander scale, with potential social unrest and geopolitical issues coming back on to the forefront.
Challenges for Entrepreneurs and Leaders: You may find yourselves navigating power struggles or encountering resistance during this transit.

Embracing change and harnessing this potent energy to propel necessary reforms can wield a profound impact.
In essence, remember that every challenge has its origins, and as a leader, you play a vital role in shaping the outcomes. Much like the adage that you can’t create an omelette without breaking a few eggs, achieving your goals often entails confronting challenges and making certain sacrifices along the path to success. Embrace these trials as catalysts for growth and transformation on your leadership journey.

With Pluto resuming its forward motion in Capricorn for a penultimate time on October 11 and headed for Aquarius in January, a new period of deep transformation and intense power dynamics in the business and geopolitical world starts anew.
The Lunar Eclipse in Taurus of October 28 admittedly closes an 18-to-24-month cycle of deep challenges to our attachments and comfort as well as renewal in the way we considered security, be it money, work, or relationship. Building a bridge between the 2021-22 period, when changes were mostly imposed by the tougher conditions of a world in lockdown, and the 2024-2030 period, when changes will affect all aspects of our life and be driven by all, this last eclipse may well trigger a series of financial and diplomatic cracks in our current system over the following month.
On November 3rd, Jupiter’s retrograde in Taurus faces the Sun, casting light on financial matters. The following day, Saturn in Pisces moves direct, and if its stabilizing influence can bring clarity and direction to the innovative initiatives spurred by Mars in Scorpio, it may also highlight the inability of our governments to cope with the current challenges and result in either paralysis or chaos.
You should remain extremely vigilant as Mars opposes Jupiter on October 29th, and then Uranus on November 11th. These oppositions may spark moments of tension and potential conflict, challenging individuals to balance their strategic pursuits with ethical considerations. It’s a reminder that while Scorpio’s energy encourages determination, it’s essential to navigate these power dynamics with wisdom and ethical leadership, ensuring that transformative actions align with a broader sense of purpose and responsibility.
As Mars traverses Scorpio’s depths, it’s not just about navigating; it’s about recreation so you can thrive. It’s about using the transformative energy of this transit to embark on a journey of growth, innovation, and positive change.

Embrace this celestial gift, and may your ventures reach heights you’ve never dared to dream. Your journey has just begun, and the cosmos is on your side.
