Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

This week is a veritable merry-go-round of major changes and alignments, Scorpio, so don’t be shocked if things feel a bit intense or confounding at times. You’ve been hurtling along at top speed lately while Mercury has been flying through Cancer and your 9th House of Expansion and Adventure. However, on the 20th the cosmic communicator will turn retrograde until July 23rd, so exploring ‘new’ territory might seem a little daunting. That being said, there is a really useful way to work this cycle to your advantage: when it comes to retrogrades you should focus on the ‘re’ part, and make a point to return, revisit, review, etc, so you’ll have better luck returning to places or subjects you’ve already begun to explore, rather than embarking for unknown territory. Since this sector also rules higher education, how about returning to school (literally or figuratively) and adding to your arsenal of skills? More education and refinement could lead to a higher value at the end of the day, not to mention more self-satisfaction. You can also plan for travel, but rather than setting your plans in stone, create a few options to ponder, then once the retrograde is over, you can look at them clearly and decide which course you want to pursue. You’ll be able to go much further that way.

The 29th also features a buzzy Full Moon in Capricorn and your 3rd House of Local Community and Communications, cuing you into all the happenings in your local area. You could become privy to some very interesting soundbites in the days to come, and perhaps garner some information that totally changes the playing field for you. Perhaps a potential dynamic duo emerges, or you meet some like-minded individual who totally compliments your style. Be sure to get out and about and see what is happening; you never know what you could discover while you’re out painting the town whatever color you choose.

Last but not least on the 29th, expansive Jupiter is entering Leo and your 10th House of Career and Professional Reputation, bringing his luck and bounty along with him for the first time since 2015. The God of Good Fortune will be here until next July, giving you a full year when you can make more professional progress than usual. VIPs and other supervisors will be especially prone to helping you out during this time, so get ready to walk through doors that have been closed to you previously. You can embark on new professional opportunities while improving the ones already in your life, so set a course for yourself and get going.

On a different note, action planet Mars and rebellious Uranus are both spinning through Gemini and your intense 8th House of Shared Resources and Deep Bonding, which is just about the most extreme sector of your entire chart. On the 4th they will align at the exact same degree, forming a conjunction which only occurs once every two years, and send out powerful–and shocking–sparks throughout the heavens above. You could receive news or experience something that could really send you for a loop, but the problem with Uranus being the planet of surprise is that you never know exactly what he will bring your way; the best bet is to keep your options open and prepare for as many scenarios as possible. This could work out in your favor, but, again, it’s impossible to say until Uranus is ready to make his move.
