Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

You never know where you are going to wind up this week, Scorpio, but if you move carefully and don’t attempt to overexert yourself, you could actually have something rather pleasant to show for it when all is said and done. Lucky Jupiter is currently in your 10th House of Career and Professional Reputation, where it is doing its best to attract new opportunities for growth and success your way, and on the 4th it will lock into a supportive sextile with Venus, which is one of the most positive alignments there is in astrology. Venus is currently in your dreamy 12th House of the Subconscious, but there is a minor complication because Venus is also retrograde at the moment, so her powers are rather dimmed at the moment.

However, this does not mean that this transit won’t be helpful, because it certainly will! This is a wonderful time for working behind the scenes and hammering away at a long-term goal, or even for coming up with new ways to improve a current project, but you want to avoid taking on new opportunities at this time, or trying to begin new projects, because with all the retrograde energy on offer, they probably won’t take you very far. You also want to avoid any kind of showboating or attempts to garner extra praise for yourself, as it will be harder for people to see the positive side of you with Venus asleep at the wheel. This sextile will actually occur one more time in the near future once Venus turns direct, which will be a much better time to seek success and recognition for whatever it is you’re currently working on.

Indeed, the energy on the 4th is quite potent, since the Sun and chatty Mercury will be forming a conjunction in your own sign on this date. It’s great if you’re feeling inspired or thinking more clearly than usual, but remember that Mercury is retrograde until November 13th (the same day Venus turns direct), so if you’re going to be making plans or attempting progress, be sure to focus on things that have already been established, rather than trying to bring new ideas to fruition. Definitely watch out for saying things you don’t mean or promising things you can’t deliver, because people will remember where and when you dropped the ball. So long as you focus on keeping things under wraps for now, you could wind up having quite a bit of success down the road.

On a different note, the energy begins to slow down on the 5th, although this will likely be so subtle you won’t even notice it at first. Mars is entering its pre-shadow phase on this date, which will lead up to its eventual retrograde cycle beginning in January of next year. Because Mars goes to sleep for about two and a half months, it has quite a lengthy pre-shadow period when the general pace of life seems to slow and things simply don’t happen as quickly as we might expect. In this case, don’t be surprised if 2026 seems to grind to an eventual conclusion, rather than racing to the finish line.
