Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

This week is all about getting down to business, Scorpio, so don’t be shocked if you find you need to roll up your sleeves and put your nose to the grindstone. Monday, the 20th, will ask quite a bit of you, or perhaps it is other people asking a lot of you, as messenger Mercury forms a pair of back-to-back conjunctions to karmic Saturn and fiery Mars, all of which are currently in passionate Aries and your 6th House of Daily Work and Wellness. Mars is all about structure and doing things by the book, while Mars simply wants to go-go-go, regardless of whether or not it has a plan in mind. All this energy can feel quite stressful in the 6th House, which wants to keep things as efficient and no-nonsense as possible, while also seeing to it that you are nurturing your body and performing at optimal capacity. You may find yourself in high-demand at work, with people expecting a lot of you, or perhaps you wind up with a seemingly endless to-do list, and none of it is very fun. You need to be especially careful and gentle with your own body at this time, as this complicated alignment would make injury or burnout easier than normal, especially at the gym or in any other workout scenario. If there has ever been a day to move along carefully and slowly, then it would certainly be this one. You can race ahead again at full speed in a few days when this heated energy has dissipated.

The weekend ushers in a different sort of intensity, as romantic Venus will leave Taurus and your partnerships sector where it has been orbiting since late MArch, and move into Gemini and your secretive 8th House of Shared Resources and Intimacy for some deep soul-bonding. From now until May 18th, you’re not going to be satisfied with casual romance or basic flings; instead, you’ll want someone who is willing to go the distance with you. Singles could find themselves blasting full speed into a new relationship, while couples will benefit from breaking down a few of the barriers that have been creating walls between you. Since this sector also deals with large finances, Venus may do her part to attract some increased wealth into your life, but beware the tendency to spend it as soon as you receive, or even before.

The 8th House will feature another big change the very next day, as rebel Uranus enters Gemini and this heady territory until 2033. Uranus is all about shaking things up and creating change in order to bring about something new and exciting, though this can feel a bit dramatic at times as it plays out in your all-or-nothing 8th House. It is a good time to be extra diligent about shared resources, like taxes or credit cards or inheritances, while also realizing that your own relationship to deeper, more internal issues surrounding sensuality and how much of yourself you are willing to share with others, will also undergo major changes. That being said, this sector also invites you to transcend any complications or difficulties in order to become a more capable version of yourself, so you could indeed be a dramatically different Scorpio by the time Uranus moves on again, and very much for the better.
