Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

This week brings in a sense of expansion, one which will feel like a welcome breath of fresh air, but it won’t come without certain responsibilities and limitations, though those will only be highlighted temporarily. This new energy arrives on the 30th, when romantic Venus finishes up her annual tour of Gemini and your extreme 8th House of Deep Bonding and bounds into Cancer and your broadening 9th House of Adventure for the next four weeks. With this shift in the skies, while the world might have felt very boxed up, romantically speaking, your options are going to suddenly feel much more endless. Couples can look forward to bringing a little spice and excitement into the bedroom, so don’t be afraid to try something new, while singles should widen their search radius. In platonic scenarios, Venus wants to bring a bit more spice and color into your life, so be sure to dabble with new cuisines or foreign films or anything that opens your mind up to new experiences and sensations. Life is very much a banquet during this four-week cycle.

An important career matter might come into focus on the 31st when the Sun and Mercury conjoin in outgoing Leo and your 10th House of Professional Ambitions, blending their energies and stirring up conversations about your goals. This would be a great time to discuss your trajectory with a VIP or make major progress with a project, but remember that with Mercury still retrograde until August 11th, you’d be wise to only discuss issues that have already been in existence for some time. Save any new debuts for down the line, and stick to what you know.

The 1st takes a turn for the complicated, as this day features a cold square between Venus and icy Saturn in Aries and your 6th House of Daily Work, forcing you to tend to your responsibilities, whether you want to or not. This energy could make things feel like a bit of a slog, and no matter how hard you try your responsibilities seem to take precedence over anything and everything fun. Don’t worry if the world seems short on excitement for the time being; this transit is only temporary so you can get back to more enjoyable times in just a day or two.

Right after this, Venus will turn around and make another square, this time to Neptune, also in Aries and your efficient 6th House, blurring the lines and making it extra difficult to know what you’re supposed to do with yourself. Since the 6th House also deals with health and wellness, you might find yourself feeling a little bit under the weather, or like your energy levels are simply lower than usual. You might also find yourself occupied with lots of little distractions that feel necessary, but are hardly fun, and with Mercury still retrograde until next month, don’t expect things to pan out as you assume they will. Fortunately, Venus will move on quite quickly, and you can end the week on a gentler note, so feel free to treat yourself on Sunday.
