Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

This week focuses quite a bit on your pleasures, Scorpio, but that doesn’t mean your pleasures will be a simple matter. The first major planetary event of the week arrives on the 26th when messenger Mercury turns retrograde in Pisces and your fun-loving 5th House of Passion and Creativity, where it will be backtracking until March 20th, throwing a few wrenches in the works when it comes to how you chase after the things that bring a smile to your face. Retrogrades are all about the ‘re’ part: revisit, redo, renew, return, etc, etc, etc. If you want to use this cycle to your benefit then look to old projects you might have put on the backburner; perhaps there’s more to them than you ever realized. Since this sector also rules your romantic life, a few flames from the past might make a reappearance, but it’s up to you whether you let them in or show them the door. Whatever or whoever comes your way is worth a second look, but that doesn’t mean you need to keep them around forever. You may also come to realize that some of the ways you have pursued pleasure in the past no longer satisfy you in the ways they once did, so it might not be a bad idea to experiment with a few new options. Think outside the box.

Meanwhile, action planet Mars is moving through Aquarius and your domestic 4th House of Family and Foundations, but on the 27th Mars will form a very combustible and destabilizing square with rebellious Uranus in Taurus and your 7th House of Relationships and Contracts, heating up things with the important connections in your life. Perhaps what you want is at odds with what someone else wants, and the problem of it becomes more than you can deal with. Perhaps your own personal program has to be put on pause because someone you care about requires more attention, and you’ve got to give it where you can. Either way, there is a cosmic tug-o-war happening right now, so don’t be surprised if you feel pulled in different directions; emotional outbursts are also more likely than usual, so keep an eye on your own feelings and take space accordingly.

On the 28th, Mercury will conjoin loving Venus in your passionate 5th House, blending their energies into even more opportunities to enjoy yourself. This would be a terrific moment to pursue a romantic interest or to work on an artistic project, but remember that with Mercury currently retrograde you’ll do best when you focus on returning to previous relationships or projects, as opposed to embarking on anything new. Still, Venus wants you to have as much fun as you can, so as long as you don’t go overboard in the process, it seems you should have quite a pleasurable time.
