The Descent of the Solar Flame: The Sun ingress Scorpio and Squares Pluto in Aquarius.

On October 23rd 2025, the Sun crosses the threshold into Scorpio, and the air itself seems to deepen. The light takes on a darker gold, the kind that belongs to secrets, to the silence beneath transformation. The season shifts from surface to soul, from what is seen to what is sensed. Scorpio is a feminine water realm ruled by Mars in its most inward expression, the aspect of Mars that does not strike outward but dives inward, seeking power through truth and regeneration.

This ingress is no gentle crossing. As the Sun enters Scorpio, it joins Mercury and Mars

already dwelling there, their conjunction still glowing with the heat of revelation. Mercury,

the messenger, carries words that sting with honesty, words that expose what has been buried.

Mars, sovereign of this realm, guides that truth through the currents of desire, will, and awakening. Together they carve a path through shadow, showing us that to speak what is real

is also to begin to free it.

Beneath the black sun of Scorpio, light learns the language of depth and desire. Transformation is revolution.

The Sun’s entry now lights this corridor. What was hidden in the dark corners of thought or emotion begins to shimmer into form. The mind and the will are entwined, and the Sun adds illumination, awareness, and vitality. This is an initiation into depth, into the sacred intensity that Scorpio guards so fiercely. It asks not for comfort, but for sincerity.

Yet, this passage holds a more complex echo. As the Sun moves forward, it forms a square to Pluto in Aquarius. Pluto, the modern ruler of Scorpio, mirrors its ancient sibling Mars with an even greater reach into the unseen. If Mars rules how we act, Pluto rules why we must. It governs the unseen machinery of transformation, the gravity that pulls us toward evolution.

A square between the Sun and Pluto is a conversation between the will and the depths, between what burns on the surface and what smolders below. Aquarius adds a tone of distance and intellect, asking how collective change is born from personal reckoning. The Sun in Scorpio seeks truth through emotion and embodiment, while Pluto in Aquarius seeks truth through perspective and revolution. Their meeting sparks both tension and revelation, asking us to release control where control has turned to fear, to let what must die make room for what wishes to live.

This moment in the sky may feel like standing between two fires, one of passion and one of purification. Yet they are not separate flames, they are two expressions of the same force, the eternal will to transform.

You may notice yourself drawn inward, toward the unseen layers of your own story. Patterns once ignored might rise with insistence. Conversations may carry more weight, dreams more meaning. The invitation is to stay with what emerges, to let depth become your teacher rather than your undoing.

Scorpio season is not about endings, though it carries them. It is about the secret art of becoming through surrender. The Sun, Mars, and Mercury weave this together now, guiding us to speak truth with courage and to act with integrity, even when it costs us comfort. Pluto reminds us that transformation is not destruction, but the honest acknowledgment that something has changed.

As the Sun descends into Scorpio’s waters, the surface fades. The light no longer dazzles, it reveals. You might ask quietly, "What truth have I feared to touch, and what might awaken if I let

it speak? What part of me is being refined in this fire of becoming? Can I trust that descent, too,

is a form of rising?". The season begins not with a blaze of daylight, but with the slow, sacred pulse of the undercurrent, the Sun entering the temple of mystery, and the soul remembering its depth.

As the Sun settles into the depths of Scorpio, a quiet vow is made between light and shadow. What has been concealed begins to breathe again, not to haunt us, but to remind us that transformation is a language of truth. This season asks that we meet our becoming with courage, that we allow what feels intense to shape us rather than harden us. Within every ending there is

a pulse of renewal, and within every descent, a promise of return.

Much love to all, Valentina.
