Scorpio 23 October – 21 November

The New Moon in Libra on Sunday kicks off your week with a profound emphasis on your hidden depths and what you're subtly holding back, Scorpio. With both the Sun and Moon here, illuminating your twelfth house of secrets and self-undoing, it’s a big week for introspection. But it’s not all quiet contemplation – Venus, your relationship planet, is retrograde in your own sign, Scorpio, exactly squaring Mars in Leo. This potent dynamic, paired with Mercury also in Scorpio, means there’s some serious truth bubbling up, particularly around what you truly desire versus what you’ve been pretending to want in partnerships, career, or even your own self-image. Expect some intense, perhaps even uncomfortable, realisations about power dynamics and who truly holds the cards.

Early in the week, that Venus-Mars square is calling out any passive-aggressive behaviour or lingering resentments you’ve been stashing away. With Mars in the middle degrees of Leo, your career house, you might find a professional situation or a public ambition feels blocked or challenging. Your ruler, Pluto, still retrograde in Aquarius, is also being trined by Uranus in Gemini, suggesting a sudden, almost electrifying shift in perspective is on the horizon, especially regarding shared resources or deep emotional attachments. Don't be surprised if an unexpected conversation or a flash of insight around Wednesday reveals the true nature of a financial or intimate arrangement. The Moon moves into Scorpio, amplifying your natural intensity and making it harder to ignore those internal whispers.

By Saturday, as Pluto finally stations direct in Aquarius, there’s a palpable shift in energy. You’ll feel a renewed sense of personal power and agency, particularly in how you relate to your community or larger groups. That long-held secret or emotional wall you’ve been maintaining might finally get a door. Venus, still retrograde in Scorpio, makes an exact sextile to the Moon in Capricorn, suggesting that by opening up, even just a crack, you can find practical support or a deeper, more mature understanding in a key relationship. Mars in Leo now exactly trines Saturn in Aries, lending a grounded, determined energy to any actions you take in your career or public life. This week demands honesty from you, Scorpio, particularly with yourself. The truth isn't always easy, but it always sets you free.
