Mars in Scorpio, 2025
Mars enters Scorpio on Monday 22 September 2025, 07:55 UTC, which is in your time zone. It leaves for Sagittarius on Tuesday 4 November 2025, 13:01 UTC, after 43 days.
Scorpio, a water sign of the fixed mode ruled by Pluto, receives Mars on 22 September 2025 at 07:55 UTC, as the planet leaves Libra. Mars stays for 43 days and crosses into Sagittarius on 4 November 2025 at 13:01 UTC. The facts show no retrograde during this period, so the motion is direct throughout.
Astrologers treat Mars as at home in Scorpio, since the planet ruled the sign in the older tradition, before Pluto was assigned to it. The themes of the sign are depth, intensity, privacy, shared resources and transformation, and Mars here is read as focused, determined and slow to let go. The tradition links this placement with persistence and with strong feelings that are not always shown. A modest suggestion is to choose one thing that needs sustained attention and work at it quietly.
