Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

This week provides you with opportunities for pleasure and for productivity, Scorpio, so set aside time for both work and play. The 18th arrives with a beautiful New Moon in Pisces and your 5th House of Passion, Creativity, and Self-Expression. This is a wonderful time to plant the seeds of something that could bring a lot of happiness into your life, so don’t be scared to put your energy into something special and new. This could signal a time for romance, but it is really about pursuing the things that truly bring you pleasure, and not worrying too much about anyone else or their opinion. The 5th House is also very artistic territory, so feel free to let the Muse out to play! You never know what wonderful projects you can manifest if you don’t give yourself the opportunity to do just that. This Moon will receive a special beam from eccentric Uranus in your 7th House of Partnerships, so someone could step into the picture unexpectedly, and bring a lot of positivity with them.

Next, there is a major shift on the 20th, when the primal Sun blasts into Aries and your orderly 6th House of Daily Work and Wellness. For the last four weeks, you had the Sun moving through your exciting 5th House, but it’s finally time to buckle down and roll up your sleeves. Since this sector of your chart rules your workaday routine, among other things, don’t be surprised if you see things begin to pick up at the office–or wherever it is you go to earn your money–because that’s exactly where your attention will be focused for the time being. If you’ve been putting off getting your wellness regime in tip-top shape then this cycle can help you get back on the healthy-living bandwagon without making it feel like a total slog. Your best self is waiting right around the corner, so don’t keep it waiting any longer than necessary!

Also on the 20th, Mercury wakes up from hitting the snooze button in your 5th House of Pleasure for the last few weeks, giving you a second shot at ironing out any hiccups that life might have sent your way. Now that the cosmic communicator is getting back to his usual business, Mercury is going to be putting his foot to the gas and sending you off into the future. When the planet of communication retrogrades through this fun-loving and creative sector of our chart, we often come into contact with old passion projects or relationships that were never brought all the way to fruition. Now, however, it will be much easier to engage with the things that bring you joy without feeling like you need to bend over backwards to make it happen. If this cycle brought any old flames back into the picture then this shift can give you the clarity required to decide who belongs in your life and who should hit the road once and for all.
