Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

It’s time to change gears and switch into something much easier and more exciting. The week kicks off on the 17th when red hot Mars will leave your ambitious 10th House, and move on to Virgo and your garrulous 11th House of Social Networks and Global Communications. Instead of constantly working towards an undefined future in uncertain times, it is now the Universe’s M.O. that you kick back and enjoy yourself a bit. Mars is the planet of action, the planet of go-go-go, but in this easy-going sector he isn’t going to be pushing you to make a name for yourself, but rather to make sure you’re not overexerting yourself, and getting the self-care and satisfaction you need. With all the strangeness in the world, use this time to reconnect with those near and far the best you can; you never know, with Mars kicking up dust here you might come across an opportunity that wings its way to you because of someone you know.

Come the 20th, it’s time to let loose and heave a sigh of relief because the planets are telling you to shake it off! The primal Sun has spent the last month moving through Gemini and your intense 8th House of Shared Resources, which can be great for getting your money in order but doesn’t make for the lightest of transits. This day he waves farewell and jumps into emotive Cancer and your expansive 9th House of Adventure. While the world might have felt very tight and boxed in lately, all of a sudden it’s going to feel like someone kicked open a door and a few windows to boot. Now that you’ve got all your ducks in a row you can go out into the world and look for new opportunities to increase the value of your life.

Now then, you’re not exactly the kind of sign to let yourself get carried away by fantasy, but every now and then you could stand to do a little bit more dreaming. This weekend, however, you might find yourself confronting one huge roadblock after another that keeps you from going on the mental escape you would so much rather be jetting off on. On the 22nd, the Sun, currently roving through Cancer and your boundless 9th House of Expansion and Adventure will reach out across the sky and form a difficult and tense square with icy Saturn in Aries and your grounded 6th house of Daily Work and Routine. Saturn is currently streamlining your life, and right now that means cutting out the escapism and focusing on the here and now. Fortunately, this angle is only temporary so don’t think all your exciting plans will have to be put on the backburner forever. Just for now.
