Scorpio, this is an ideal week to set your intentions for the Sag New Moon that kicked off the month, while also being aware that Mars, our planetary ruler, is beginning its retrograde through Leo (and eventually Cancer) on December 6th. This may seem to outwardly slow down our momentum, but it’s so that we can be more spiritually aligned with our passions and purpose.
Mars’ two-month retrograde will shine a spotlight on your career and long-term visions, asking you to rethink your professional or creative strategies. This energy might feel frustrating at first, as you may notice delays or disruptions in projects you’ve been working hard to push forward. However, the cosmos is urging you to see this slowdown as a blessing rather than a burden. Scorpios have been in overdrive all year, often pushing themselves to extremes in pursuit of their ambitions. Mars retrograde offers you an essential pause—an opportunity to recalibrate, rest, and recognize how much you’ve already achieved. Use the start of the retrograde this week to lean into moments of stillness, reflecting on how you can realign your goals with your current energy levels and avoid unnecessary pressure — particularly the type you tend to place on yourself.
Adding to this reflective energy is the aftermath of the Sagittarius New Moon, which took place on December 1st and whose energy will be potently felt up until the 11th. This new moon invites you to set intentions around managing your resources more wisely. Before seeking new opportunities or material gains, ask yourself how you can make the most of what you already have. This week is ideal for refining your spending habits, reviewing financial goals, and contemplating what truly brings you joy and satisfaction. What is essential for your happiness, and what can be let go? These questions will serve as a compass for the next six months, helping you create a more intentional and sustainable foundation for your future.
On December 7th, Venus, the Planet of Love, enters Aquarius, directing your focus toward home and family over the coming weeks. With Pluto, your second planetary ruler, also in Aquarius, this is a powerful time to strengthen your connection to your roots and nurture the relationships that ground you. The same day, Neptune, the Planet of Illusion, ends its five-month retrograde in Pisces, bringing clarity to your sector of creativity, love, and dating. If you’ve experienced confusion or tested boundaries in relationships, this shift will gradually help you see the path forward. However, the post-retrograde shadow period may stir lingering emotions as you navigate emotional triggers that are still delicate, so patience is key. Keep heart-to-heart conversations flowing, but remember that with Mercury and Mars both retrograde this week, communication might feel circular. Compassion for yourself and others will be your greatest ally as you navigate this transformative week.
