Mars, the planet of war and will, desire and drive, f-king and fighting, getting it on and getting it done, is leaving the codependent climes of Libra for the tender-hearted, villain-caped cave of Scorpio on September 22.
Our bro luminary of high speeds and high fives will remain in Scorpio until November 4, 2025.
Scorpio rules intimacy and vulnerability, the raw and the animal. This energy lends itself to a transit where desire knows no bounds, depth has no measurable bottom, and we crave sex that’s more about soul-merging intimacy than casual kicks.
“Mars in Scorpio leads to heightened hyperfixation, emotional caution and inner resilience. As this transit unfolds, relationships may experience increased depth,” Chelsea Jackson, astrologer at Taimi, told The Post.
Mars is the ancient ruler of Scorpio, but as Jackson explains, the sign of suspicion is not always a bold b–ch when it comes to love.
“This isn’t a transit that supports vulnerability or risk-taking, especially when it comes to matters of the
heart. Instead, it’s about committing to a bond or connection despite the fear of what the future holds. As a result, openly trusting others may be more of a struggle now, especially if there’s been betrayals in the past.”
While we’ll all be under the influence of this transit, three signs will feel the effects most acutely.

Jackson notes that because Scorpio sits opposite Taurus on the zodiac wheel, this Mars transit sends an erotic jolt to the bull’s seventh house of trusted partnership.
“Now is the time to lean into the intensity that others are showing up with, even if it feels intimidating. You crave connections that feel steadfast and mutually obsessive, and this transit is accelerating those feelings.”
She shared that bulls may need to pace themselves if this acceleration starts to feel more breakneck than breakthrough. Still, the next several weeks pose an unparalleled opportunity to dive deep; don’t hesitate.
According to Jackson, Cancer folk can look forward, or brace for, short-lived but life-altering love affairs.
“This transit is fueling any new flames coming into your life with more intensity than you’re
used to. You may be connecting with people who are a little obsessed with you, or you could be
letting loose a little more than usual when it comes to physical intimacy. It’s a good time to enjoy
yourself, even if these connections do feel more emotionally charged than you’d prefer.”
Jackson shared that for Libras, who are typically more light-hearted, this Mars transit could translate to a desire for more security and devotion.
“From now until November 4, you’ll be seeking more comfort from your partner through more concrete labels or even through materialistic support and resources. Now is the time to ask for what you want – even if it feels too vulnerable or overwhelming.”
According to Jackson, no matter how emotionally messy you may feel during this time, you won’t scare off the people and partners who genuinely want to build something with you.
