Scorpio, this week is one of the final weeks of the year where you’ll feel a strong surge of physical and psychological energy, allowing you to stay focused on the tasks at hand and truly make strides of progress in your career, and in your relationships. Starting next week, the pre-shadow period of Mars’ upcoming retrograde will intensify (Mars, our planetary ruler, begins its retrograde on October 30), which means we’ll be in a more mellow mood during the second half of October, and we may not feel as motivated to put in the work. This isn’t a bad thing — life isn’t supposed to be filled with constant productivity and advancement, even if we may have been conditioned to feel that way. But there are times when staying focused on the mission at hand and being disciplined as you smash your goals will pay off formidably for you in the end. This week is one of the moments.
As the week begins, we’re celebrating the official end of Mercury Retrograde. After a three-week reversal, the Planet of Communication is direct in its home sign of Virgo again. There will still be a two-week post-shadow period, but as soon as Tuesday you may feel like the delays and misunderstandings you experienced are clearing up, and you’re starting to have greater clarity again. The Capricorn Moon encourages us to write down our plans in vivid detail, and if you haven’t yet set your Libra New Moon intentions, you have until Wednesday, Oct 5th to make the most of that energy. Watch the visual for my New Moon Mantra as inspiration as you vividly imagine yourself six months from now, living the life of your dreams.
Mid-week, the Aquarius Moon has us reconsidering what “home” means to us. Perhaps a part of you has been itching for a change in your domestic life, especially now that Saturn is about to ends its retrograde in Aquarius (which also activates Scorpio’s sector of home) on October 23. Take time this week to decide what your ideal home environment feels and flows like. Also pay attention to moments when you felt like your energy was drained based on how much time you took taking care of others, whether that’s through listening to their problems, or cleaning up the mess they created in your life. Also be sure to check yourself and make sure that your own boundaries are fierce enough to keep out such energy drains… Sometimes it’s when you’re too generous with your resources that you invite all this unwanted attention or distraction.
From Thursday through Saturday, the Moon enters Pisces and activates Scorpio’s sector of fate, true love, and creativity. These are prime days for going on dates with yourself and/or your lover(s), for creating works of art, for making magic, making love, and making yourself feel like a vibrant firefly coursing their way through the cosmos. Your admirer(s) will be drawn to you during this time, making Friday and Saturday ideal days to have heart-to-hearts and share your true feelings with each other, especially now that Mercury Retrograde is over and Mars Retrograde hasn’t yet begun. Prepare to be pleasantly surprised by the adventures you get into this weekend! You’ll have a light-hearted end to the week, and once the Moon enters Aries on Saturday morning you may find that your confidence increases dramatically, making it easier to shoot your shot or project yourself into the future, as a warrior who’s already won the battle. Keep that in mind as the week ends, Scorpio: yes, it sometimes feels like you’re constantly in a battlefield, trying to escape explosions left and right. But envision yourself protected by a healing, purple ray of light, coursing through you and surrounding you, divinely. “No weapon formed against you will prosper.”
