Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

The energy is both slowing down and speeding up this week, Scorpio, so don’t be surprised if it feels like you’re dreaming one moment, and dealing with vivid reality the next. It’s time to take your foot off the gas and just coast for a while starting on the 22nd as the primal Sun slips out of Virgo and dives into Libra and your sleepy 12th House of the Subconscious. For the next four weeks, the Universe wants you to focus on weeding out any unnecessary aspects of your life, be they toxic people, negative habits, or anything else that might be holding you back. You need to get rid of these things so that when the Sun blasts into your sign next month, you’ll be ready with open arms to receive all the incredible bounty life is planning to bring your way. For now, however, remember that less is more and instead of trying to start new projects, focus on bringing them to completion instead. Tying up loose ends is where your satisfaction will lie for the time being.

The 26th arrives with a powerful Full Moon in Aries and your 6th House of Work and Wellness, shining a major spotlight on the way you operate your daily life and the things you do to make sure you’re feeling your best. If you’ve been looking for a time to get your life in order, consider this your cosmic cue to get down to brass tacks. There’s a good chance that things will pick up at the office–or wherever it is you go to earn your paycheck–in the following weeks, so prepare yourself to put your nose to the grindstone and show how capable you are. The Sun will be forming a harmonious trine to Pluto in your domestic 4th House, so you may decide to make some useful improvements to Chez Scorpio, improvements which could help your usual routines flow that much more effectively.

The last important event of the week arrives on the 27th, when action planet Mars packs up its things and switches signs. The red planet has spent the last six weeks rotating through Cancer and your 9th House of Adventure and Expansion, which could have seen you spreading your wings in your search for far off vistas, or opening your mind to fresh ways of engaging with the world around you. Now, however, you get to shift gears as Mars moves into Leo and your 10th House of Career and Reputation, pushing you up the great ladder with a fierce new drive. This time only comes around once every two years, so there is an open highway ahead of you, enabling you to reach a new level in life. If you’ve been hoping to make a name for yourself or get your work recognized by someone high up, this is your chance. That being said, Mars stirs up action and work as much as opportunity and excitement, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself very busy for the immediate future.
