Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

You may feel like you are waking up one moment this week, Scorpio, only to slip into a dreamland the very next. First, on the 23rd, the Sun will exit Libra and your sleepy 12th House and dive into your sign and your personal 1st House for the next four weeks. This is your birthday season for a reason; it’s time to put your desires and aims front and center, so don’t think this isn’t the perfect moment to pursue your passions. The world will begin to open up to you over the next month in ways that it hasn’t in a very long time, so do your best to get out and meet it head on, because you won’t want to miss out on all this fabulous bounty. This is also a really good time to think about what you want to achieve over the next twelve months, but it is perfectly alright if you don’t come up with all the answers right away; operating within a space of uncertainty or the ‘unknown’ can help you eventually figure out what you do want for certain, so there is no need to rush this phase.

In fact, there is a very important emphasis on slowing down the very next day; you’ve had messenger Mercury rotating through your sign for several weeks now, but on the 24th it will turn retrograde in your 1st House of Action and Self-Expression until November 13th. During the next three weeks weeks, it might be difficult to tell exactly where your ideas are coming from, or where they are going, so if you’re toiling away at a project then it would be best to hold off on unveiling it until after the cosmic communicator turns direct once again; you’ll be better equipped to wow the world and earn some cache in the process. In the meantime, if you do want to make progress then the best way is by focusing on old projects or old patterns of behavior that require attention, rather than trying to embark on brand new endeavors. You’ll fare better with wrapping things up, so focus on cleaning up your act, and as a result you will have a clean slate to work with by the time Mercury turns direct again.

Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, has already been retrograde in your sign for the last couple of weeks, but on the 25th there is a change in the wind as Venus backs up into Libra and your dreamy 12th House of the Subconscious for the remainder of this cycle, where she will eventually turn direct on November 13th, the same day as Mercury. In the meantime, be careful about donning any rose-colored glasses, because Venus retrograde in this sector can blind you to important red flags; keep your eyes peeled!
