4 Zodiacs Who Will Thrive Under Mars in Scorpio

Buckle up, everyone—Mars is moving into Scorpio!

From October 11th to November 24th, Mars (the planet of drive, ambition, anger, and action) will be in the sign of Scorpio (a sign known for its passionate, intense energy). Mars serves as one of Scorpio’s ruling planets (along with Aries), so it feels right at home here. In Scorpio, Mars is intense, determined, and quietly ambitious. It isn’t loud or shouting its intentions at the top of its lungs, but it’s definitely on the move and isn’t slowing down for anyone. 

While all the signs will experience Mars in Scorpio on some level, a few signs may find themselves thriving under the transit. Take a look at the placements below to see which zodiac signs will likely thrive under Mars in Scorpio.

Scorpio (Rising, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars)

It’s no secret that Mars’ influence impacts you, given it is one of your ruling planets. With Mars making its way through your 1st House of Self and Identity, you may feel more assertive and confident than usual. If you’ve felt like others have been trying to take advantage of you or walk over you, this transit will likely be the boost not to be a pushover. This will also be a time when you are strongly considering what you want your impact and legacy to be and try to take some action to bring those dreams to life—remember that burnout can show up quicker than you think if you try to take on too much too soon. You have six weeks, so enjoy the slow burn of it all.

Taurus (Rising and Sun)

With Mars moving through your 7th House of Relationships and Partnerships, prepare to be in problem-solving mode, Taurus. While this transit may cause some tension (and a lack of patience), it can work in your favor if you use it to get to the heart of issues instead of brushing them to the side. Mars can greatly benefit you if you lean into its desire to accomplish things—and your relationships will likely benefit from a straightforward, solution-directed approach instead of avoiding issues. 

Aquarius (Rising and Sun)

You could be experiencing some serious motivation in your work life these next few weeks, Aquarius. With Mars moving through your 10th House of Career and Public Image, you have the energy and boost you need to work on those projects and goals you’ve been putting off. You may feel a strong desire for your ambition and work ethic to be seen and appreciated, pushing you to work harder. This can work well for you in terms of getting things done, but just be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Additionally, if you have been waiting for an opportunity to pursue a passion project or even change courses in your career, this transit could serve as a great jumping-off point to take those steps, so lean into it. 

Cancer (Rising and Sun)

As Mars arrives in your 5th House of Creativity and Romance, you may feel a renowned excitement and passion regarding your love and creative life. Inspiration for creative projects may show up quickly, so pay attention and don’t be afraid to explore new ideas to see what may happen. In your love life, you may feel more confident in putting yourself out there or being specific about what you want—you usually can be a bit shy about being forward, but Mars wants to take you out of your comfort zone a little. If you’ll let it, the results could certainly pay off.
