Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

Dear Scorpio, don’t be at all surprised if this week seems to begin with a bit of a roadblock or an additional barrier that requires a bit of extra effort to leap over. On Monday, the 6th, the Sun in Cancer and your boundless 9th House of Expansion and Adventure will reach out to form a difficult square with icy Saturn in Aries and your grounded 6th house of Daily Work and Routine. The Sun is pushing you to explore beyond your usual boundaries and discover all that the world has to offer, but Saturn is currently streamlining your life, and doing everything it can to help you cut out the excess and focus only on the necessities, which could put a damper on any flights of fancy and wanderlust; fortunately, this angle is only temporary so don’t think all your exciting plans will have to be put on the backburner forever.

You can embrace a stronger sense of clarity on the 7th, when mystical Neptune turns retrograde until mid-December, during which time it will be backing up through Aries and your efficient 6th House. This isn’t one of those retrograde cycles you need to fear, but rather can embrace without worry; when direct, Neptune can create illusions and make it difficult to separate fact from fiction, which is especially unhelpful in this grounded sector, but now that it is retrograde you don’t need to worry about those mirages appearing before you. Use this as a special opportunity to get clear on your current circumstances, and go forth from there.

Still, you don’t need to worry that this week is all about work and productivity, especially on the 9th when pleasure-loving Venus leaves Leo and your career sector in order to move on to Virgo and your 11th House of Social Networks and Global Communities, setting you up for one of the most exciting and outgoing cycles of the year. After orienting so much attention to your achievements, you’ll finally get to pursue a few more pleasurable activities, but whether these are more platonic or passionate remains to be seen. Singles will have better luck meeting people through apps or through friends-of-friends, while couples should make a point to get out and socialize more together, before pairing off for more private time.

The 12th features a potent conjunction between the Sun and messenger Mercury, both in Cancer and your adventurous 9th House. This is a great time to look beyond your usual boundaries and see what stimulating options the world has to offer, although since Mercury is retrograde it would be wise to discuss travel plans you’ve already made or study a subject that’s not entirely unknown, rather than embarking on some brand-new journeys. Past opportunities may come back around for a second-look, so don’t be shy about collaborating with a familiar face.
