Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

The energy is changing this week for something slower, and you may notice a rather quiet vibration as it opens, especially since there won’t be any important angles happening for the first few days of the week, and we’ll have to wait until Thursday for something important to occur. The 17th arrives with a particular Half Moon in Aries and your 6th House of Daly Work, which might leave you feeling as though you’ve left a few too many projects on your to-do list. If the urge to get your life in order strikes don’t be surprised, and don’t fight it either; remember that we must find inner balance before we can find it outside of ourselves. Clear up any clutter, and if there are any areas of your home you’ve let get out of sorts, it’s time to put everything back in its proper place, including yourself. This is also a good time to check in with your body and make sure your health regime is up to snuff.

Messenger Mercury has been in Leo and your 10th House of Ambition for several weeks now, so you’ve been primed to stand front and center and show the world what you’ve got. While you certainly can do that, you will want to be a little more careful about how you present yourself in the weeks to come. Mercury will turn retrograde on the 18th and will be backstroking here until August 11th, so it’s more than possible you might stick your foot in your mouth if you don’t pay attention. You can’t plan for every eventuality, but allow yourself a measure of freedom when interacting with people because plans could change on a dime. Just breathe and accept that things established now might need to be reworked down the line. The golden rule of retrogrades is deal with what has already occurred, rather than trying to give birth to new projects, because new ventures are sure to break down before they can get going. Revise and review, but avoid exploring new territory in the name of advancement.

Also on the 18th, Mercury will make a special sextile to lovely Venus in Gemini and your 8th House of Major Finances and Deep Bonding, which could prove to be a rather lucrative or rewarding moment for you, as Venus loves to bring windfalls your way, especially when she is in this particular sector. However, with Mercury now stationed retrograde, this will likely be because of work you’ve done in the past, rather than because of anything new you’re starting, so instead of attempting to begin a new project because you think it will equal a major payout, look to previous efforts to capitalize on; the results will be truly wonderful if you play your cards right.
