How to Work With Mars in Scorpio

If you’ve been feeling a little... let’s say, amped up, or perhaps suddenly possessed by an insatiable urge to get to the absolute bottom of things, you’re not imagining it. Mars has just entered Scorpio, one of its home signs. This means its usual energetic, action-oriented vibe is now drenched in Scorpio's notorious intensity. From now until November 4th, your inner detective-warrior is ready for action.

Journal Your Deep Desires
Mars in Scorpio hates surface-level chit-chat. It wants to know what you truly, madly, deeply desire, and more importantly, what you’re willing to fight for. This means it's prime time to grab your journal and get brutally honest. Don't censor. Ask yourself: What unspoken power dynamic am I navigating, and how can I reclaim my agency? What long-buried ambition is clawing its way to the surface, demanding my attention? What emotional 'dead weight' am I still carrying that needs to be scorched clean so I can move forward with unshakeable conviction?
Speak Your Scorpio Strength
Once you’ve wrestled with those deep truths, it’s time to speak them into being. Try on these power statements for size: "I fearlessly claim my inherent power and direct my passions with laser-like focus." "My intuition is a precise and potent guide, leading me through any challenge to profound truth and impactful action." "I am a master of transformation, turning obstacles into fuel for my unstoppable ascent." Repeat them until they feel less like words and more like an undeniable vibration resonating through your very core.
Altar Your Intentions
To truly harness this magnificent energy, create a sacred space that reflects its transformative power. Think less 'fussy' and more 'fierce.' For your altar, consider items that symbolize Mars's drive and Scorpio's depth. Place a small, sturdy knife or athame (safely, please!) to represent decisive action and cutting away what no longer serves. Incorporate deep red or black candles to evoke intensity and the powerful process of rebirth. A small bowl of water can honor Scorpio's emotional depth and intuition. For crystals, consider obsidian or smoky quartz for grounding and protection, or a garnet to amplify passion and courage. Don’t forget an image of a phoenix or a scorpion – potent symbols of transformation and resilience.
Now go forth and conquer, you magnificent, intense creature.
