Scorpio, you’ve been down some dark and deep alleyways in your life, but you’ve got this. October is really your month of mystery and adventure, like a great big puzzle to be figured out.
But I repeat, you’ve got this. Even shaky and experiencing life in a precipice, you can “see in the dark” now and cut to the chase. Handy for avoiding others’ dramas and renewing what’s important to YOU. Your transformational ruler Pluto goes direct October 13, and you feel its powerful effects more and more strongly as October gets underway. You tune in to your deepest instincts to make it. No stranger to survival YOU.
Sexy Mars, your ancient ruler, is in your sign until November 4. Mars magnifies your charisma, your heat, your sexuality. He comes round once every two years, so, again, as with Jupiter, it’s a rare chance in time. However you want to experience this “Mars time” is up to you, of course, I would just advise you not to miss it!
Your ruler Pluto spends about half the year in retrograde so gawd knows you’re used to it, but still. The last six months have been insane. It makes for darker thoughts and suspicions, and it’s a relief to let these fade into the background.
Stay alert, keep reinventing yourself, and make use of every opportunity that comes your way while Jupiter and Uranus open fabulous new doors for you. A domestic set up which has been quite a horror will finally be over as of the Aries Harvest Full Moon October 6.
This is a month when very little will escape you and those around you will think you have eyes in the back of your head. Creative risks pay off but be careful with finances as Saturn is still itching to give you its final lessons before it departs in December. Extra harsh, perhaps, because it will not speak again like this for another 28 years.
Explore your creativity, push your own boundaries, commune more deeply with yourself and strive to be a better lover. The power of your beliefs can liberate you or lead you astray. Ahead lies a month ripe with potential. And a month when your personal truths, faith, and visions undergo supreme testing.
In your twelfth house of the unconscious you have:
Awesome, life-giving Sun
Brilliant thought and word planet Mercury
Lovey planet of beauty and love Venus as of October 13
A Libra New Moon October 21
And your twelfth subterranean house, traditionally ruled by psychic Pisces, covers these areas of your life:
Rest and retreats
Solitude
Inner Time
Meditation
Breaks
Your unconscious
Your imagination
Hypnosis
Unlocking mysteries
Past Life Regression
Healing
Secrets
Psychological recovery
Therapy
Allowing your unconscious to breathe and replenish
Sleep and dreams
Your innermost private life
Your anima
Your psyche
Ideas and inspirations
Writing
Psychic gifts
The past, including past sorrows
Karma and past lives
Places of confinement, including beds, hospitals, prisons
Your Past and its various complexes
Buried Sorrows: the way you sabotage yourself
All inhibiting factors and physical inhibitions
So it’s an interesting dichotomy you’re living this month, the intensely private world of your unconscious with a very public world – in which you’re making a stir. You’re used to putting on a face, invariably showing up pleasant and charming. But now you express more of who you really are.
And you handle it like a rockstar.
Ever the survivor, you sail forward but a question does remain: Do you go forward with the usual people? It feels like one of the usual suspects, an old friend or associate, may have to go.
It is time to ask yourself whom you trust, and to go forward with this. You need have no fear anymore. You are a sign of necessary caution – that is, hiding your true feelings at many times – but it is October 2025, and you can relax.
Fears have abounded in your second house of finances. But your finances turned out relatively well after that scare, don’t you think? So, who else is torturing you? Other than yourself, of course. Whoever it is must go!
For not only will you be lusting for your soul mate, but you will be antsy with partners. too.
People rarely understand what a Scorpio is feeling – but then, you never tell them, so how can they know? Do you think everyone is a mind-reader like yourself? (The answer is no.)
People would be surprised to hear that comfort is something you need, but you DO need it, and it’s time to ask for it.
As I said in your last month’s horoscope, you are the most self-depriving of all the signs.
But not this month, Scorpio, not this month! People want to hear what’s on your mind. It’s good stuff. Trust it.
Go ahead.
Remember this well as you step forward through October. While you’re at it, bring out your buried talent of forgiveness. And a willingness to give love another try.
But the new Libra moon October 21 will really signal the time to end your association. Also, ironically, to take on more responsibility within a group or community. You may see that you can’t function as well unless you have the group or a mentor’s support to back you up. Around this October 21 new moon you also could need to consult with a lawyer, or you may find the need to revamp a contract or legal status/position. If you are offered a contract watch for hidden clauses – you could sign on for more than you know.
Keep your body in top running order, be especially safety conscious and put more attention toward preventative health and existing health concerns.
The end of October in particular is the time for contract talks, for professional advancement, for stepping into a more authoritative and responsible role, and for actualizing something that is dear to your heart. Until then you may have this sense of false starts – but please remember, this is only a temporary feeling.
As the month progresses, new love becomes your new best friend.
