Scorpio 23 October – 21 November

get ready for a deep dive this week, because with the Sun at 15°35' in your sign and a New Moon kicking off Sunday at 0°42' Scorpio, it’s all about fresh starts that cut straight to the core. This is not just a gentle beginning; it’s a powerful internal reset. You're feeling everything acutely, especially with your ruling planet Pluto in Aquarius, which is square to the Moon early in the week. This aspect hints at some ingrained power dynamics or hidden truths you’ve been grappling with. It’s time to acknowledge what’s been simmering beneath that famously cool exterior.

Early in the week, Mercury, still retrograde in your sign at 8°5' Scorpio, is forming a square to Pluto. This is a big one. It suggests a mental wrestling match with control, trust, or a secret you’re unwilling to share. Expect some intense inner dialogue. You might feel a strong urge to reorganise your finances or career path, especially with Venus in Libra (also retrograde) sextiling both Mars and Jupiter in Leo. This offers a glimmer of opportunity to renegotiate terms or re-evaluate partnerships, provided you’re willing to look honestly at your own behaviour. This isn't about blaming others; it's about seeing your part in the dynamic.

Around Wednesday, as the Moon moves into Sagittarius, you might feel a shift towards wanting more freedom or a break from the intensity. But don’t get too comfortable, because the real turning point arrives later in the week. Mercury stations direct on Saturday! That’s huge. It means the mental fog begins to lift, and those truths you’ve been contemplating (or perhaps avoiding) become undeniably clear. You've been sifting through old stories and re-evaluating where your power lies, and this direct motion will help you articulate those findings.

By Saturday, with the Sun at 21°37' Scorpio and the Moon in Capricorn, you’re in a much more grounded space. Mars and Jupiter are now exactly conjunct in Leo, creating a potent energy for ambition and action in your public life or career. However, the Sun is also squaring both Mars and Jupiter, suggesting that your personal desires might clash with external demands or authority figures. This isn't about compromise, Scorpio, it’s about strategically asserting your vision. The Uranus trine Pluto aspect, exact this weekend, provides a powerful undercurrent for profound transformation, giving you the courage to dismantle old structures and rebuild. This week is about facing what you’ve been holding onto, seeing it for what it is, and then, with Mercury now direct, speaking your truth and setting the groundwork for a more authentic future.
