Feeling inspired? It may be written in the stars. With Mars in Scorpio this autumn, it is a time of change and energy. Whether you’ve been trying to make a leap in your career, make new friends or embark on a new project, this might just be the perfect time.

Mars entered Scorpio on 23 September and will remain there until 5 November. “Scorpio is considered a lesser Sign of Mars,” says Tetiana Tsvil, astrologer and spiritual advisor at Nebula. “Before Pluto’s discovery, Mars was thought to rule Scorpio. This is why Mars is quite comfortable in this Sign.”

Although each person will respond to this period differently, there are some common themes. According to Tsvil, we are entering a time of high productivity and efficiency as we’ll all feel a little more inspired and motivated.

“The general energies Mars provides in Scorpio include a desire to aim high, the ability to meet deadlines, and completing tasks with maximum efficiency in a short time,” she says. “We can achieve a lot thanks to willpower and the ability to overcome challenges.”

What does Mars in Scorpio mean for your star sign?

This period “will affect us all differently, depending on our character,” says Tsvil. “For those who thrive on excitement, intensity, and strong emotions, this transit will feel exciting and inspiring, as it will amplify emotional experiences. If you are a calmer person, prone to passivity and routine, this transit can feel like a strong push to move, start something, and finally act.”

Here is what to except, according to Tsvil.

You’ll be able to demonstrate maximum activity and initiative in finances and personal relationships. It’s time to break the boundaries of what’s possible. Significant changes in your romantic life are possible – add more courage and passion.

Relationships will take centre stage, making this the perfect time to take the first step, dare to initiate changes, and improve connections. New acquaintances are likely, but be sure to avoid aggression and manipulation.

This period may pass for you steadily and predictably, as you’ll be focused on work, responsibilities, daily routines, and health. Your productivity can increase significantly.

Go on dates, share gifts, and enjoy life, especially its romantic aspects. Your hobbies and projects may advance and gain recognition.

The sphere of housing and home life will shine brightly; you might consider making repairs or decorating your home. Spend time with your family, but avoid conflicts and provocations.

This period will be highly active and lively, filled with trips, meetings, studies, and walks. You may meet interesting new people and exchange experiences.

Your productivity and efforts will focus on personal finances and resources, allowing you to actively work, earn, and spend. Be mindful of the potential for impulsive purchases and spending.

You’ll feel this transit strongly; you may be inspired to change both internally and externally, and possibly choose a completely new direction for your life and development. Take risks and change the world for yourself.

During this time, your energy and productivity levels might decrease, signaling the need to rest, relax, and recharge before entering a new, more active period. Take time for self-reflection and spirituality.

You can actively communicate, meet friends, attend social events, and make new, valuable connections. In pursuing your dreams and achieving your goals, you’ll demonstrate persistence and endurance.

Career and professional achievements await; you’ll accomplish a great deal, especially if you demonstrate determination and inner strength. Life can change radically in your favour.

This is an excellent time for long-distance travel, especially if you’ve longed to go but haven’t dared. Alternatively, you might engage in studies, learning challenging yet interesting material, and sharing experiences with others.
