Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

Dear Scorpio, have things been feeling a little extreme lately? Have you had to deal with a lot of pressing financial or personal matters that took the wind out of you? If the answer is ‘yes’ it wouldn’t be all that surprising, but there is good news on the way as the mood will take a turn for the positive and enlightening on the 1st. For the last couple of weeks, you have hosted messenger Mercury in your secretive 8th House, which is just about the most intense sector of the zodiac. This energy changes, however, as Mercury waves goodbye to Gemini and jumps into Cancer and your boundless 9th House of Adventure and Expansion. It’s time to turn towards the world and discover all that it has to offer, because there is a great deal waiting for you beyond what you usually know. This would be a terrific time to make travel plans or consider furthering your education, so don’t limit yourself or your horizons because the wider you open your mind, the more rewards you will encounter. This will be an extended tour, however, as Mercury will turn retrograde here on the 28th, so don’t think you need to push too far all at once, or you may wind up getting lost along the way. Move slowly, and you’ll see better results all in good time.

Meanwhile, the Sun is still in Gemini and your 8th House of Deep Bonding, which is a very intense and transformational sector of your chart, especially as pertaining to your connections with other people as well as large sums of cash. On the 2nd, the Sun will lock into a rare but helpful sextile with karmic Saturn, currently in Aries and your 6th House of Daily Work. This could signal a very big day at the office for you, when you land a major client or case that will pay dividends for a long time to come. You may also sell off a project you’ve been working on behind the scenes and earn a nice windfall for your efforts. If you’re in discussions for a new gig or project don’t be shy about asking for what you want. You’ve come a long way and you deserve to be compensated for it. Remember, however, that Saturn only rewards you after you’ve done the work, so don’t expect to cut corners and still get a reward for it; roll up your sleeves and success will follow in good time.

You may find yourself a little uncertain of how to proceed on the 3rd, as Mercury in your 9th House will square off against Neptune, who is also in Aries and your responsible 6th House. Neptune can create confusion or blur the truth wherever it goes, so it would be easy for certain responsibilities to get forgotten about, or perhaps you feel like you are supposed to be doing something, only you can’t remember what. Someone else who is supposed to be on hand to help (like a co-worker or assistant, for example) could drop the ball, but it may not prove to be that big of an issue. This is not a good day for tending to any serious topics, so don’t expect a lot from yourself or from anyone else; the more easy-going you are, the easier it will be to handle this energy.
