Pisces Weekly Horoscope

The world is opening up to you in a wonderful way this week, Pisces. This theme gets underlined on the 9th as the annual Scorpio New Moon illuminates the sky and your 9th House of Adventure and Higher Learning; yes, you’ve been confronted with so many boundaries lately, but life won’t always be like this. In the coming weeks, start plotting our foreign vistas and new concepts you want to explore. By the time the Scorpio Full Moon rolls around in six months, you could be in a whole different place, mentally and physically. Life will begin to feel much more open than it has in some time, so have faith and journey forth. Likewise, try to broaden your own horizons with new information, perhaps by returning to school or simply getting a library card and boning up a bit on a new subject. The rewards can be stupendous.

It would indeed make sense if things have felt rather limited lately, largely thanks to the fact that messenger Mercury has been hitting the snooze button in Scorpio and your expansive 9th House for the last few weeks, but on the 13th he is waking up from his slumber and getting back to the tasks at hand. Ideas that once seemed too far-fetched or plain crazy could suddenly be simple as pie, and people are sure to notice your genius coming through, so don’t hold anything back right now because the world is waiting to hear from you. Get out there and see where the road takes you; you could wind up with a nice pot of gold at the end, no rainbow required.

Since the beginning of October, Venus has been retrograding through Scorpio and your expansion sector, then Libra and your transformational 8th House for the rest of this cycle. Venus normally likes to make our lives more enjoyable in whatever way she can, but for the last six weeks it has been difficult to find the silver linings amongst all the clouds on the horizon. The 8th House can be an especially tough place to host such a scrambling signal. This is where we go to bond with people on an intimate level, but it also deals with our shared finances, much in the same way Venus deals with both romance and money. Therefore, you’ve probably felt more than a little conflicted about your relationship with someone special, or, if you’re single, then perhaps you haven’t found anyone worth your time . On the flip side, you could have taken something of a financial hit during this phase, perhaps hitting your credit limit or even having to borrow some money to pay off an outstanding debt.

Fortunately, come the 13th, Venus will turn direct again and resume forward motion, although it will take her almost a full month to get back to her normal speed. That being the case, don’t expect too much change overnight; instead, you’ll be ironing out any remaining wrinkles the retrograde created for you in the first place.
