Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

This week has some wonderful changes in store for you, Scorpio. The cosmos is focusing its attention right on you come the 9th, when the annual Scorpio New Moon lights up the skies and your 1st House of Self-Expression and Action. This is like your personal new year, so if 2026 has felt a little lacking then don’t worry because a new cycle is on the way. This is a time of initiation that will be open to for the next several weeks, and further develop over the next six months, so if there is something you’ve been hoping for–really, anything you want–then start making moves towards it because the planets will be supporting you in your endeavors. The energy may feel a little slow at first with Mercury retrograde in your sign, but there is nothing wrong with taking your time at first and waiting until the cosmic communicator turns direct before hitting the ground running.

There is more good news on the 13th as Mercury wakes up from its recent retrograde phase, which has been happening in your own sign and 1st House, causing no shortage of confusion and chaos. It’ll take the messenger planet a few days to get back up to his regular speed, but once that happens, you’re going to have plenty of star power pushing you ahead to the future. Ideas that may have been stuck going in circles will finally begin to move in a productive direction, and if you’ve been trying to get to the bottom of an important issue, then solutions will finally begin to make themselves known to you. It may also simply feel like you’re embracing a new sense of clarity, so get ready to leave any mental fog behind.

As it turns out, Mercury isn’t the only planet turning direct on the 13th; since the beginning of October, Venus has been backstroking in retrograde formation, beginning in your own sign before drifting back into Libra and sleepy 12th House of Endings, effectively putting the kibosh on your romantic life. That being the case, Venus wasn’t going to be working any major wonders for you either way, but with the additional retrograde thrown on top of this, you really were in for a pretty lackluster couple of months. A budding relationship may have suddenly stalled for one reason or another, or perhaps there seemed to be a lack of options in your immediate vicinity.

Either way, there is a major change on the 13th when Venus finally wakes up and begins to move forward once again. It will take nearly a full month for her to clear the “shadow phase,” reworking the territory she backtracked over during her retrograde, so that you will probably encounter final touches of whatever issues you’ve been working through, but by mid-December you’ll start to see new options open up in a way they haven’t in a very long time.
