Scorpio Monthly Horoscope

January

  • Best Days Overall: 6, 7, 16, 17, 25, 26
  • Most Stressful Days Overall: 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 31
  • Best Days for Love: 2, 3, 11, 12, 21, 22, 29, 30
  • Best Days for Money: 1, 6, 16, 25, 27, 28
  • Best Days for Career: 2, 3, 11, 12, 18, 19, 23

Health is good this month until the 20th but afterwards becomes more stressful. Make sure to get enough rest after that date. Enhance the health with thigh massage and massage of the liver reflex until the 25th. After the 25th back and knee massage will be helpful. Good to focus on dental hygiene after the 20th as well.

Though health and energy could be better, there are many nice things happening. Jupiter in your 5th house of fun and creativity brings pleasure and leisure activities. You manage to enjoy life more. You’re in the mood for fun and it comes to you. Finances also seem good. Your financial planet in your 5th house indicates happy money – money that is earned in happy ways and spent on happy things. Speculations are favourable. You can experience ‘miracle money’ this month (and for the next few months as well).

You begin your year with the 3rd house very strong. So the focus is on intellectual interests and communication. This is excellent for students, below college level, as it shows success in their studies. Your own mental and communication faculties are very much enhanced – even if you are not in school. You read more. You speak more than usual. You absorb information. Siblings and sibling figures are having a good month too. They have good self-esteem and confidence; their health also looks good. They have been having financial stresses for the past year, but after the 20th finances improve.

On the 20th, as the Sun moves into your 4th house of home and family, this is where the focus is, and on your emotional wellness (which needs work). Since the Sun is your career planet, the message of the Horoscope is very clear: your mission for the month ahead (from the 20th onwards) is your home, your family and your emotional wellness.

Many of you will be pursuing your career from the home – perhaps in a home office or via remote working. But on a metaphysical level this transit shows that it is good to pursue your career goals by the methods of night – through meditation, creative visualization and by getting into the feeling, the mood, of being where you want to be in your career. Later, when the planets shift to the day side of your chart, exterior actions will happen spontaneously, for the interior ground has been prepared.

Love is complicated this month, as both the planets involved in your love life are retrograde – Uranus is retrograde until the 18th and Venus, your actual love planet, is retrograde until the 29th. So there is a lot of indecision and confusion about this. Perhaps there will be delays and glitches as well. Love will improve next month.

February

  • Best Days Overall: 2, 3, 12, 13, 21, 22, 23
  • Most Stressful Days Overall: 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 28
  • Best Days for Love: 7, 8, 17, 18, 27
  • Best Days for Money: 2, 3, 12, 13, 21, 22, 24, 25
  • Best Days for Career: 1, 9, 10, 14, 15, 22, 23

Your health planet, Mars, has been ‘out of bounds’ since January 12, and remains so until the 10th. This shows that in health matters you’re going outside your normal orbit. You’re exploring therapies that are outside your normal experience. This is probably a good thing. With health still delicate until the 18th, you need ‘outside the box’ therapies. Health will improve after the 18th, but still needs watching. You still have two powerful long-term planets in stressful alignment with you.

In spite of this the month ahead is happy. The Sun’s move into your 5th house initiates a yearly personal pleasure period. In fact, having fun, enjoying life, is your mission from the 18th onwards. Joy itself will cure many problems. The Sun in the 5th house after the 18th shows that you are enjoying your career path. Perhaps you are entertaining clients and customers – showing them a good time. Perhaps you make important contacts as you indulge in leisure activities.

This transit would also show a strong focus on children and children figures in your life. Being there for them – guiding them and helping them – is your mission during this period.

Children and children figures in your life are having an excellent month. They look good and have self-confidence and self-esteem. Health and energy should be good. They seem prosperous as well (and very fertile).

Love is much improved over last month. Marriage is not in the stars this year, as we’ve said, but love is happening. Your love planet Venus spends the month in Capricorn, your 3rd house. Thus love is close to home – in the neighbourhood or with neighbours. Romantic opportunities can happen at schools, lectures, seminars, the library or bookshop – as you pursue your intellectual interests. Venus in Capricorn signals slow love. It takes time. Love needs to be tested to see if it is real. But once someone has passed the various tests, love tends to endure. However, with Uranus in your 7th house love is still unstable – even with people who have passed the tests.

Finances are excellent this month. Review our discussion of this last month.

March

  • Best Days Overall: 2, 3, 11, 12, 13, 21, 22, 30, 31
  • Most Stressful Days Overall: 1, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15, 27, 28

Mars and Venus began travelling together on February 25, and they journey on together until the 12th. This has many good points and some challenging ones. On the positive side this shows a romantic involvement with someone at work. This person could also be a therapist, or someone involved in your health. You seem attracted to health professionals during this period. The downside of this transit is that you can be (and the person you attract as well) a bit of a perfectionist in love – critical and nit-picky. You need to be careful about this. Venus travels with Pluto, too, on the 2nd and 3rd, bringing a happy romantic experience.

Mars and Venus enter your 4th house on the 6th and spend the rest of the month there. This has many messages. You are socializing more from home. There is more harmony with the family. Family and family connections are important in love. Perhaps an old flame reappears in your life. This seems more therapeutic than romantic; you will be able to resolve old issues. Mars in your 4th house shows the importance of emotional health this month. Very important to keep the moods positive and constructive. Diet also seems important healthwise. Calf and ankle massage also enhance health. Health needs attention this month.

The planetary power shifts to the Western, social sector of your chart this month. After the 6th, 80 per cent, sometimes 90 per cent of the planets are in the West. So other people are important. It is time to cultivate your social graces. Selfishness – although there is nothing wrong with it per se – won’t cut it these days. Good comes to you through the good graces of others.

The Sun travels with Jupiter from the 4th to the 6th. This is a harbinger of career success and brings a nice payday. From the 11th to the 13th the Sun travels with Neptune, bringing fun, happiness, close relations with children or children figures and career opportunity. Being involved with charities and altruistic activities boost the career. Children seem successful too. They are having a banner financial month.

You’re still in the midst of a yearly personal pleasure peak until the 20th. So life is fun these days. Like last month, career opportunities come as you’re having fun.

May

  • Best Days Overall: 5, 6, 14, 15, 23, 24
  • Most Stressful Days Overall: 1, 7, 8, 9, 21, 27, 28
  • Best Days for Love: 1, 7, 8, 16, 17, 27, 28

  • Best Days for Career: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 20, 30

The lunar eclipse of the 16th occurs in your own sign and thus has a strong effect on you. Take things nice and easy. Things that must be done should be done. But non-essentials – especially if they are stressful – are better off rescheduled. This eclipse forces you to re-evaluate yourself; it forces some soul-searching. You need to update your self-concept, your image and how you want others to see and think of you. Usually this happens because people are talking badly about you. You must define yourself for yourself, or they will do it for you. So, in the coming months you will change your look, your wardrobe, hairstyle, etc.

Every lunar eclipse tests your religious and philosophical views – your theology too. This is basically a good thing. Some of your beliefs will be discarded, some will merely be revised and updated. The events of the eclipse will show you what is what.

Since this eclipse impacts Saturn, the ruler of your 3rd house, siblings and sibling figures are affected. They too need to redefine themselves. They will have dramas with their friends and friendships will be tested. With you, cars and communications equipment get tested (it’s a good idea to drive more carefully).

Love is still unstable (and perhaps you like it that way) but there is plenty of opportunity. Singles are dating more. Those in a relationship are attending more social functions and meeting new people. You’re still in the midst of a yearly love and social peak until the 21st.

Your financial planet, Jupiter, makes a major move out of your 5th house on the 11th and enters your 6th house. This signals earnings achieved the old-fashioned way through work and practical service. The health field seems interesting as an investment or business opportunity. You still take risks in finance, but your hard work and diligence will create your good luck.

Health and energy improve after the 21st. In the meantime, enhance the health with foot massage and spiritual-healing techniques until the 25th. After then face, scalp and head massage – massage of the adrenal reflexes – will enhance the health. Increase your exercise time after the 25th.

April

  • Best Days Overall: 8, 9, 17, 18, 25, 26
  • Most Stressful Days Overall: 3, 4, 10, 11, 23, 24, 30
  • Best Days for Love: 3, 4, 8, 17, 18, 25, 26, 27, 30
  • Best Days for Money: 8, 9, 17, 18, 19, 20, 26, 27
  • Best Days for Career: 1, 2, 10, 11, 20, 21, 30

Last month all the planets were moving forward, and life proceeded swiftly. This is the case for the month ahead as well. But on the 29th a very important planet, Pluto, the ruler of your Horoscope, goes retrograde, and this will last for many months. So the need is to be clear about your personal goals and about the image that you want to project to the world.

We will also have a solar eclipse on the 30th that occurs in your 7th house of love. Health needs watching most of the month and your schedule should be reduced, especially around the eclipse period. A current relationship gets tested. There can be dramas in the life of the spouse, partner or current love. There are career changes happening and dramas in the lives of parents, parent figures, bosses and elders – the authority figures in your life. They too should reduce their schedules. Children and children figures should drive more carefully – cars and communication equipment will get tested. Siblings and sibling figures have issues with their own children or children figures.

A relationship can break down this month, but your love life is still active and exciting. On the 20th the Sun moves into your 7th house and you begin a yearly love and social peak. Singles will date more and have all kinds of romantic opportunities, but the issue is the stability of these things. Instability is the price we pay for excitement. Venus will travel with Neptune from the 26th to the 28th. This brings opportunities for love affairs. Then she travels with Jupiter on the 30th, which also brings love opportunities as well as financial increase.

Jupiter, your financial planet, travels with Neptune from the 1st to the 17th. This brings excellent financial intuition, spiritual guidance on money matters and luck in speculations. It should be a good financial period.

Your health planet Mars will be in your 4th house until the 15th. So, like last month, enhance the health with calf and ankle massage, right diet and maintaining good emotional health. On the 15th Mars moves into your 5th house. This favours foot massage, spiritual-healing techniques and plain joy. Joy is a powerful healing force.

  • Best Days Overall: 1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 19, 20, 28, 29, 30

Mars, your health planet, began his solstice on May 27 and this continues until the 2nd. He pauses in the heavens and then changes direction (in his latitudinal motion). So it is with you in health matters and in your work. There is a pause and then a change of direction.

Mars and Jupiter are both in your 6th house all month. This shows earnings from work – the old-fashioned way. It also favours the athletic industry and companies that supply them, and the health field as well. You spend on health but can earn from it as well. Jupiter travelling with Mars in your house of health is a positive for health. It shows best-case scenarios in health issues. Jobseekers have excellent prospects too. Those who employ others have good applicants for positions and seem to be enlarging the workforce.

Health is much improved over last month. Much of the short-term stress caused by the short-term planets is dissipating, and by the 23rd it will all have gone. Energy is good.

Your 8th house – your favourite house – is powerful this month until the 21st. This favours all of Scorpio’s natural interests – sex, personal transformation, detox and purging regimes. You are very much at home now, psychologically speaking. The Cosmos impels you to do that which you most love.

Love will be good, but unstable still. This is especially so on the 10th and 11th as Venus travels with Uranus. You don’t know where you stand with your current love interest from one moment to the next. There can be shake-ups in love, but they seem short term. Until the 23rd love and love opportunities happen in the usual ways – at parties, gatherings and through introductions from friends or family members. After the 23rd, as Venus enters your 8th house love becomes more erotic, more sexual. Sexual magnetism is paramount. (It is a sexually active kind of period anyway.) Love opportunities can happen in strange ways (although not strange for Scorpio) – at funerals, wakes or as you visit a bereaved person or family. It can happen as you visit someone in hospital as well. There is an allurement to wealthy people too. Those of you already in a relationship will find that the spouse, partner or current love is having a very strong financial month.

On the 21st your 9th house becomes powerful and this favours the career. There is success and expansion. Career is becoming ever more important now as the planetary power shifts to the upper, day side of your chart. It is not dominant, but much stronger than it has been all year. There is a need to balance home and family with career goals. There is foreign travel related to the career after the 21st. Your willingness to travel is a big factor in career success. The Sun’s entry into your 9th house is good for college-level students and shows focus on their studies: focus brings success. Your interest in religion, philosophy and theology will increase during this period as well. A juicy theological discussion or the visit of a spiritual teacher or theologian can be more interesting than a night on the town.

July

  • Best Days Overall: 8, 9, 16, 17, 26, 27
  • Most Stressful Days Overall: 1, 2, 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, 29
  • Best Days for Love: 6, 7, 15, 21, 22, 26
  • Best Days for Money: 1, 2, 10, 11, 18, 19, 28, 29
  • Best Days for Career: 1, 2, 8, 9, 17, 28, 29

Health is good until the 23rd but afterwards will need more attention. Your health planet Mars will move into Taurus, your 7th house, on the 5th and stay there for the rest of the month. Thus, good health means a healthy love and social life. If problems arise, restore social harmony as quickly as possible. Heath can also be enhanced through neck and throat massage and through craniosacral therapy. With your health planet in the 7th house you might be more involved in the health of friends and that of the beloved than with your own health. The good news here is that with benevolent Jupiter in your 6th house of health you’ll likely get best-case scenarios with health issues.

Mars in your 7th house complicates the love life. It can make you too perfectionist in love – too critical – too prone to search for flaws. This will destroy romantic moments, so be careful. On the other hand, this transit indicates an attraction to health professionals and people involved in your health. A visit to the therapist can turn out to be much more than that.

Mars will make dynamic aspects with Pluto, the ruler of your chart, on the 1st and 2nd, so be more mindful on the physical plane. The same holds true on the 30th and 31st when Mars travels with Uranus. Family members also need to be more mindful now.

Mars’s move into Taurus on the 5th shifts the planetary balance to the upper half, the day side of your Horoscope. The day side is now dominant. Add to this the power in your 10th house from the 23rd onwards and we have a clear message – focus on the career.

Health and energy could be better, but you’re very successful this month. On the 23rd you begin a yearly career peak. The Sun, your career planet, will be in his own sign and house, where he is most powerful. This spells success.

Your career planet will make very beautiful aspects to Jupiter, your financial planet, on the 30th and 31st. This brings both financial and career success. It can bring pay rises – official or unofficial – and good parental support. Bosses are kindly disposed to your financial goals. If you have issues with the government, this will be a good time to deal with that.

Until the 23rd, with your 9th house very strong, you will be travelling. Like last month it seems career related. Like last month too, there is a strong interest in religion, philosophy and theology. College students are successful in their studies.

Pluto, your ruling planet, is still retrograde this month (along with three other planets). And most of the planets are still in the social Western sector. Perhaps it is good that self-confidence and self-esteem are not as strong as usual. This is a month where the focus is on others and their needs. Your way (and you’re not sure what that is at the moment) is probably not the best way. Let others have their way, so long as it isn’t destructive.

August

  • Best Days Overall: 4, 5, 13, 14, 22, 23
  • Most Stressful Days Overall: 11, 12, 17, 18, 25, 26
  • Best Days for Love: 4, 5, 15, 17, 18, 25, 26
  • Best Days for Money: 7, 8, 15, 25
  • Best Days for Career: 7, 8, 16, 25, 26

Mars is still travelling with Uranus on the 1st and 2nd so, like last month, be more mindful on the material plane. This goes for family members as well. There can be changes in your health regime as well.

Health still needs some attention until the 23rd but after that you will see dramatic improvement. Mars moves away from his stressful aspect, as do the Sun and Mercury. In the meantime, make sure to rest and relax more. Don’t allow yourself to get overtired. Make sure to maintain social harmony with friends and the beloved. Neck and throat massage and craniosacral therapy are helpful until the 20th. After then, enhance health with arm and shoulder massage. Massage of the lung and bronchial reflexes will also be good. Make sure to get enough fresh air and breathe deeply. Hand reflexology (you can google this) will be especially effective. Mars in your 8th house from the 20th onwards favours detox and weight-loss regimes. Sometimes surgery is recommended, although it doesn’t mean that you have to undergo it.

You’re still in a very successful period. You’re in the midst of your yearly career peak until the 23rd. So the focus needs to be on the career and your outer objectives. (Emotional health is important on the 1st and 2nd, but its importance wanes after that.) Succeed in the outer world and you’ll feel in emotional harmony. Outer success is the best way to serve your family.

You still seem distant with the beloved this month. You might not be distant physically but psychologically. This goes on until the 12th. Your challenge is to bridge your differences. Neither of you is right or wrong – you just have different perspectives on things. Sometimes one perspective is right, sometimes the other. Venus makes nice aspects to Neptune on the 6th and 7th – this brings an opportunity for a love affair, although it doesn’t seem serious. After the 12th Venus moves into your 10th house of career. This gives many messages. Singles are attracted to people of power and prestige. There are romantic opportunities with (and perhaps overtures from) bosses and people above you in social or professional standing. The danger is getting involved in relationships of convenience rather than real love. You will enhance your career by social means – by attending or hosting the right kinds of parties and gatherings. Your social connections are playing a big role in the career and much of your socializing is career related. Venus makes nice aspects to Jupiter on the 17th and 18th. This is wonderful for both love and finance.

Planetary retrograde activity is high this month, so the pace of life slows down. But your career seems unaffected. Your career planet, the Sun, never goes retrograde.

Though your financial planet is retrograde all month, finances look good until the 23rd in spite of this. Things might be slower and there are more delays, but earnings look strong.

When the Sun enters your 11th house on the 23rd you can further the career through your technological expertise and through online activities. Social connections are important after the 23rd as well.

September

  • Best Days Overall: 1, 2, 9, 10, 18, 19, 20, 28, 29
  • Most Stressful Days Overall: 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22
  • Best Days for Love: 4, 5, 13, 14, 15
  • Best Days for Money: 3, 4, 11, 21, 30
  • Best Days for Career: 5, 6, 14, 15, 21, 22, 25, 26

Health is now much improved. Although there are two long-term planets in stressful alignment with you, the short-term planets are either helping you or leaving you alone. You can enhance the health with arm and shoulder massage, fresh air and deep breathing, massage of the lung and bronchial reflexes and detox regimes. Health during this period is not about adding things to the body but about getting rid of what doesn’t belong there.

Venus, your love planet, moves into your 11th house of groups and friends on the 5th and stays there until the end of the month. (She enters Libra on the 30th.) So, power and prestige are less alluring after the 5th. You want a relationship of equals. You want friendship with the beloved as well as passion.

Love should be good this month but there are some pitfalls. Venus in the sign of Virgo (your 11th house) can make you or the beloved (it impacts both of you) too critical and perfectionistic about love. There is a tendency to relate too much from the head rather than the heart. There is a tendency to be hypercritical of flaws. The motive is good. You want perfection and anything less needs to be corrected. But this can destroy romantic moments. It is good to want perfection, but ana-lysis should come after, not during, romantic moments. And keep any criticism constructive. Another issue is that Pluto is still retrograde, and though the opportunities are there for you, you’re not sure what you want. Self-confidence is not what it should be. Still, Venus is making nice aspects to Pluto from the 5th onwards, and especially on the 25th and 26th. So there is romantic opportunity. The online world seems important in love – social media or dating sites. It would also be good to be involved in professional or trade organizations. There can be romantic meetings in these venues.

Venus, your love planet, has her solstice from September 30 to October 3. She pauses in the heavens (in her latitudinal motion) and then changes direction. So it is with your love life. There is a pause and change of direction. This solstice is like a ‘cosmic breather’. You take stock and change direction. It is basically good.

Finance is complicated this month. Your financial planet Jupiter is retrograde all month. (Overall, retrograde activity is at its maximum extent for the year.) Earnings are happening but more slowly than usual. Finance seems better before the 23rd than after. If possible, avoid major investments or purchases this month. However, if you must do these things, do more homework – more due diligence.

Your 11th house is strong until the 23rd which makes this a social period – but it’s more about friendships and group activities than about romance (although romance can happen here as a side effect). On the 23rd the Sun enters your spiritual 12th house and you begin a strong spiritual period. This is a good time for meditation, the study of sacred literature and being involved in charities and good causes – being involved in things that transcend yourself. As you connect deeper with the Divine within you and allow its power to operate, many problems in life will just dissolve.

Venus, your love planet, is still in her solstice period until the 3rd, so review our discussion of this last month. There is a healthy pause in your love life.

Jupiter has been in solstice since September 8. This will continue until the 16th. (Jupiter is a very slow-moving planet, so his solstices last a long time.) So there has been – and it continues – a pause in your financial life – a breather, a mini vacation – and then a change of direction. It’s as if you are ‘shifting gears’ financially. (Jupiter is also changing signs this month; he is moving back into Pisces on the 29th, which adds to the ‘shift of gears’.)

Retrograde activity is still substantial, but less than last month. And, in spite of a solar eclipse on the 25th, the month is basically happy. Your spiritual focus until the 23rd (and it will go on afterwards too) will help you go through the eclipse, which has a strong effect on you.

This eclipse occurs in your own sign and impacts you personally. (This is the second eclipse in your sign this year.) Once again you are forced to redefine yourself and your self-concept. You need to create a more correct concept of yourself. This will lead, in the coming months, to a change of wardrobe, hairstyle and overall presentation. As you change within, change happens without.

The Sun is your career planet, so every solar eclipse affects the career and brings changes and shake-ups. Sometimes the actual career path changes, but not always. Sometimes there are shake-ups in your corporate hierarchy or industry, and you have to change the way you pursue career advancement. Sometimes the government changes the rules and regulations for your industry. Often there are personal dramas in the lives of bosses, parents and parent figures – life-changing kinds of dramas. In your case (with the Sun in your 1st house) a new career opportunity comes to you and you take the opportunity. Spiritual or charitable organizations you’re involved with are forced to make important financial changes. The money people in your life are having spiritual-type changes. Siblings and sibling figures have dramas with friends and perhaps near-death kinds of experiences. Children or children figures have job changes and changes in their health regime. If they are in college there are changes in their educational plans.

So, there is more excitement this month, but also more happiness. The Sun’s entry into your own sign on the 23rd brings more energy and charisma. You look good. You have confidence and self-esteem. (Pluto, the ruler of your Horoscope, finally moves forward again on the 2nd and this also improves self-confidence and self-esteem.)

Venus moves into your sign on the 23rd too. This indicates that love is pursuing you. You just have to go about your daily business. It is a time for having love on your terms. If you are in a relationship, the beloved is devoted to you. He or she puts your interest ahead of their own. Marriage is not in the cards, but romance is.

You are still in a yearly personal pleasure peak until the 22nd, so it is a good time to enjoy the pleasures of the senses and the body. It is good to reward and pamper the body for all the yeoman, selfless service it gives you. Very good to get the body in the shape that you want.

Personal appearance is excellent now. It’s not just the physical appearance that improves, but you exude more energy – more life – the X factor, and people (especially the opposite sex) respond to this.

Though the Eastern sector of self is not dominant, it is as strong as it will get this year. So, other people are certainly very important, but you have more personal independence than usual. If there are changes to be made to improve your personal happiness, now is the time to make them.

The main headline this month is a powerful, total lunar eclipse on the 8th. Since it impacts many other planets – and thus many areas of your life – it is much stronger than the solar eclipse last month. It has a strong effect on you and on the world in general.

This eclipse occurs in your 7th house of love and thus tests a current relationship. As we mentioned previously, long-standing relationships have been tested for a few years now. This eclipse adds to the stress. A current relationship is on shaky ground. This eclipse also brings personal dramas and crises to the beloved. College-level students have shake-ups in their institutions and make changes to educational plans. There are shake-ups and crises in your place of worship and in the lives of worship leaders. Foreign travel is not advisable over this period.

Three planets are affected by this eclipse – Mercury, Uranus and Venus. The impact on Venus only reinforces the love dramas that we have written about. The impact on Mercury also tests friendships. There are dramas in the lives of friends. Computer and high-tech equipment will get tested and will often need repair or replacement. Parents or parent figures are making important financial changes. Since Mercury rules your 8th house there can be psychological encounters with death. Perhaps near-death experiences or close calls. The impact on Uranus brings dramas in the family circle and dramas in the lives of parents or parent figures. Often repairs are needed in the home.

However, overall the planets are kind to you this month, and you should get best-case outcomes to all these challenges.

You’re still in the midst of a yearly personal pleasure period until the 22nd. After the 22nd, as the Sun enters your money house you begin a yearly financial peak. This should be better than usual as Jupiter, your financial planet, will move forward again on the 23rd. This is fortunate timing. Prosperity is happening, and whatever expenses are incurred because of the eclipse are easily handled.

Mars, your health planet, has been ‘out of bounds’ since October 24 and remains so for the month ahead. (Other planets are also ‘out of bounds’ this month as well.) Mars is also retrograde all month. So in health matters you are going outside your normal orbit – exploring things that you normally wouldn’t explore. However, with Mars retrograde, be very cautious about making important changes to the health regime. Health is good this month and there’s no need to rush into important changes. This transit could also show you going outside your normal work. The job takes you into unknown places.

We see this tendency in love as well. You are outside the box in love – and perhaps the people you attract are also outside their normal orbits. The same is true in your spirituality. (In general, it seems to be a trend in the world at large – people are exploring outside their orbits.)

The month ahead is prosperous. You’re still in a yearly financial peak until the 22nd. Jupiter, your financial planet, is moving forward. You have confidence and clarity. More importantly there is focus. By the spiritual law we get what we focus on. Jupiter changes signs this month on the 21st, returning to your 6th house for the long haul. Thus you earn from work. You will have excellent job opportunities, regardless of whether you are employed or unemployed. You can earn from the health field too and probably you will spend more on health. Children and children figures were prosperous this year and become even more prosperous under this transit.

On the 22nd the Sun enters your 3rd house and the focus shifts to intellectual interests. Financial goals, the short-term ones at least, seem to be attained and now you want to expand your mind and knowledge. Students will do well in their studies. There is great focus here. The intellectual faculties are enhanced and learning (and teaching) comes easily. Scorpios are not big talkers, but this month they talk more than usual. This is a good month to take courses in subjects that interest you. If you have expertise in a given area you might want to teach or blog about it. It is a good time for catching up on all those phone calls, emails or letters you owe to others.

Venus, your love planet, moves into your 3rd house on the 10th. She began the year here and now she comes full cycle. Thus love is close to home, in your neighbourhood or with neighbours. Intellectual compatibility is important in love. You like people with the gift of the gab – people who are easy to talk to. Good communication is part of foreplay these days. Romantic opportunities happen at school, lectures, seminars, the library or bookstore: educational-type settings. As we saw at the beginning of the year, Venus in Capricorn is slow to fall in love. There is caution here, which is generally a good thing. You like to test love these days. You want to be sure it is real. (And your partner could be the same way.)
