Have you gone for what you want lately? Scorpio Season – with Mars, Mercury and Lilith also in Scorpio – all say in chorus, in that hypnotic Scorpio way, “It’s time, mes stars…“
According to the Kabbalists, the Scorpio New Moon is the most powerful day of the year. Why? Having gone through the new year beginning in Libra, with 22 days of holidays, the new moon of Scorpio condenses and grounds that work. Scorpio season is the only one with no holidays. That is not punishment, rather illustrating the new moon has even more weight, as do our efforts each day. Understand more about this zodiac sign here, including this week’s energy in particular.
Also, it’s the strongest month to connect with your intuition and use it. Proceed…
🔥 Desire, Power, Control — and Why They’re All About You
This Scorpio New Moon 2025 happens early West Coast time on October 22. (We go by the Kabbalistic Calendar around here). However, this year we also have Lilith in Scorpio and Mars in Scorpio, both home signs. You guys. DESIRE, CONTROL, and POWER are on deck. That means focus on your own state of mind and don’t be putting upon others. (Don’t play with me Scorps I know you, lol.) We also have Mercury in Scorpio so communication can go deep, allowing us to connect with others in profound ways. I love this for us. Also, as it’s the year of the snake, Scorpio 8th house linked, that further underscores that we have lots of Scorpio powers for shedding and renewal around us. Let’s use it for the good.
In Scorpio Season We All Get Scorpionic: You’ve Been Warned
LISTEN! I want you to be empowered:
- To have your desires known and fully in your consciousness.
- To be going for them with list and charts and plans (Scorps are great at that).
- To have power over yourself and what you want and a life that reflects that.
- To control yourself and be mindful of your actions and take them seriously – like a Scorpio.
HOWEVER, (I know I’m doing a lot of all caps but it’s clutch and I need you to hear) POWER, DESIRES, AND CONTROL ARE ONLY ABOUT YOURSELF.
- Do not veer into taking over others. (Please see: our world.)
- Do not misuse your power to try and control others (uh, we are all sovereign.)
- Do not think your desire gives you carte blanche to force others into anything because, hello, others have desires too. (And no thinking you know better for them, cuz, uh, non.)
That’s the tricky part. You think this isn’t you? That you never control or use power plays? How about you ask your partner, family member, co-worker, friend. You may not realize you steamroll over people. That simple question may not feel so simple to the other (you know how you do, Scorps, you can’t play me lol).
💫 Scorpio Season Is About Self-Mastery — Not Manipulation
Please read that section title again lol.
Scorpios are master manipulators if not checked. Their emotional IQ, desire, and knowledge of power can make them challenging to deal with if they don’t respect others’ ability to say no. (Again, ask those around you – but in a real way cuz they may not want to tell you lol.)
That ability to understand people is amazing, and that ability to lead people is as well. Scorpios are able to help others navigate the hardest things in life, to bring people back from the depths of loneliness and suffering. Their love is deep beyond, truly.
However, is it healthy? That’s what can be and must be checked. Especially this year with Lilith and Mars in Scorpio. In the best sense, we are feeling ourselves — our desire, our drive, our worthiness. But so too are others. And we have to work together.
A Scorpio tends to be black or white. That’s great for standing up for the good and helping others – but not when it creates separation or division. So watch it. USE THOSE POWERS FOR GOOD.
🌒 Intuition and the 8th House Mysteries: Scorpio’s Superpower
Intuition is high at this time. Scorpios know. Linked with the 8th house of mysteries — other people’s money, sex, death, and what can’t be seen — Scorpio is comfortable in those waters. It’s quite the superpower.
Yes, tune into that. Yes, get cozy with your shadow side, as it’s a part of you that is working on you and your life even when unacknowledged. It’s a time when you can connect with your inner knowing and guidance from the beyond.
Scorpios are not surface people. They are all about depth and truth — the most important kind, the kind between you and you.
❤️ Desire 101: What You Really Want (and What to Do About It)
As we can see in our world, desire is what moves our lives. You don’t make a move, not one pinky finger, if not for desire. You want to reach for a cup of coffee, to write something, call someone, stand up — it’s all desire.
Desire moves our world. It’s wondrous, glorious, fun. However, what and how you desire is where imbalance can creep in. (See: our world.)
When you don’t get what you want, how do you react? See, that’s what we have to work on. (Again: see our world.) Remember, a “no” or obstacle is just redirection. What are you missing? What do you think you know that you don’t? Be open. (Yes, Scorpios, you do not know everything lol.)
Desire 101 Part 2 — The Engine of Everything
Desire moves everything.
It’s divine energy. But how you direct it? That’s the work.
When you don’t get what you want, how do you react?
Remember, you have your desires and others have theirs. Be mindful of others boundaries.
Scorpio is the sign of desire. (We love that about them.) That’s why their magnetism is legendary.
If you’ve never had a Scorpio desire you — I’m sorry for you (please fix that 😂).
That magnet lives in you too.
Wherever Scorpio falls in your chart, that’s where your power of attraction activates.
Tune in. Use it. Manifest with it.
But keep it healthy. Desire should be delicious, not dangerous.
Honor your wants and others’. That’s real mastery.
Healthy Desire: Want What You Want, Without Overpowering Others
That whole Scorpio enthralling, engaging powerful thing they got going on is their close connection with what they desire. They are profoundly connected to themselves.
Their desire is not just hypnotic — it’s spiritual. And it’s an energy you want for yourself. Yes, you can channel that same energy for your own life. That intensity and whole hearted focus is available to you at this time. Open to what you want and go for it. (Healthfully of course.)
We all have all the signs in our chart — so where is Scorpio for you? This is where this powerful magnet of desire is activated.
So, while I want you to tune into it, connect with it, and use it, I’m also gonna need you to watch it, lol. Desire is about what you want… but not stalking or forcing it. No making others feel put upon or creeped out.
Whether it’s sex, money, career, or what you want to do for dinner — ask others. Take their desire into account.
Your desire is yours and should be honored – while also honoring others. That is the trick.
Control, Power, and Scorpio: The Truth Between You and You
Listen. Y’all Scorpios are intuitive af. They know. A Scorpio will know all your issues in a second and be able to use that. This is where power and control come in.
Again, we can have control over ourselves, but not others. That’s not cool, Scorps. And again, you actually don’t know everything. Plus, isn’t it fun when others want what you want naturally?
The whole thing about control and power is to use it over yourself. Stop trying to control everyone else and look at why you don’t have wha you say you want, make a plan, and go after it. If it doesn’t work out, know that you don’t know everything lol, adjust and go again. I bet you get something better this time. (The universe rewards efforts and openness.)
Scorpios ambition is legendary. It is a sign of ambition. You got this!
🔥 Mars and Lilith in Scorpio: The Courage to Lead and the Fire to Win
You can read all about Lilith in Scorpio here, and please do, but know it’s about leadership, breaking taboos, and freeing others by leading the way. Whether it’s in career, money, health, or the subconscious — where Lilith lies in your chart is where you’re meant to stand up as an individual and be loud for others to see that strength and courage and be inspired. It’s your leadership point. As it’s now in Lilith, all Scorpio traits are on point. Sex shaming? Nope. Controlling others? Nope. Stepping on the little guy? Nope. Being afraid of the unknown? Nope.
As for Mars in Scorpio — it’s home. Mars is about action. It’s about how we move in the world. In Scorpio, it’s a desire that will win. That will achieve. Again, Scorpio is the most ambitious sign of the zodiac. You can figure out a plan of action and go for it. Your intuition is on point. Use it.
You can achieve great things at this time; there’s an extra boost until October 30, as Mars is in Scorpio too, so use it.
Do you want a new job? To move or upgrade your home? To improve your health or relationships? It’s a fabulous time for all that. You can make great strides when planets and signs align. Use Scorpio for all its depth, power, and insight.
🌕 Mantra by Sign: One Word for Your Scorpio New Moon Reset
A reset by Sun sign — and if you know your rising, read that too:
Aries: Depth — slow down and feel what drives you.
Taurus: Release — let go of what you can’t control (you’ll like it…).
Gemini: Therapy — it will help you, lol. All this depth gonna have you like “wtf.” It’s ok. You can do this.
Cancer: Merge — open to intimacy, not just caretaking. You always say you want connection…
Leo: Empower — lead from love, not ego. Be honest about your needs so they can be met, too.
Virgo: Realize — your third house is about communication and you are great at it. Go for it.
Libra: Alignment — it’s not people-pleasing when it’s true to your soul. Act from you.
Scorpio: Rebirth — you already know what to shed. Do it. Fear? You don’t know her.
Sagittarius: Integrity — your philosophy is evolving. Let your actions match it. Yes!
Capricorn: Healing — how can you build a lasting future and community if you aren’t yourself?
Aquarius: Commit — intimacy takes courage. Try it.
Pisces: Integrate — your empathy is power when grounded. Find ways to do it.
The Invitation — Use It Wisely
This New Moon is a mirror and a fresh start. (Having come through the eclipse season of shedding and endings, it’s a new start.)
It asks: what do you really want? and what are you willing to do about it?
Power isn’t about control — it’s about creation.
Desire isn’t about taking — it’s about awakening.
So go after what calls you, with depth, honesty, and awareness.
And if you need help figuring out what your “what” even is —
that’s literally what your birth chart is for.
How To Connect With This Season
Those endings you know need to happen, do it. Those beginnings you’re ready to try, make your move. Need help trusting yourself? That’s what your chart is for.
I speak four languages — including charts. None of use does it alone.
