Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

The week at a glance

The Full Moon in Taurus on Monday, October 26 falls in your 7th house of partnership and other people. Full Moons bring things to a head rather than beginning them, and this one does it in your close partnerships, business and one-to-one dealings.

Underneath that, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are retrograde all week. Here is where the slower bodies are sitting, counted from Scorpio:

• The Sun in Scorpio — your 1st house. It is the month’s centre of gravity, and it sits there.
• Mercury in Scorpio (retrograde) — your 1st house. It routes the week’s messages, admin and second thoughts through it.
• Venus in Libra (retrograde) — your 12th house. It smooths it, which helps taste and diplomacy more than it helps effort.
• Mars in Leo — your 10th house. It pushes hard there — useful, and abrasive if nobody is warned.
• Jupiter in Leo — your 10th house. It is generous with that part of your life and has no sense of proportion.
• Saturn in Aries (retrograde) — your 6th house. It is slow, exacting and unimpressed by that part of your life just now.

The Moon through your week

The week starts with it in Taurus, through your dealings with other people. From Wednesday, October 28 it moves into Gemini, through the private, undiscussed material. On Friday, October 30 it crosses into Cancer, through the part of you that wants a bigger horizon. Sunday, November 1 takes it into Leo, across the top of your chart, where other people can see you.

Nothing else in the chart moves this quickly. The Moon is why Tuesday and Friday feel different even when nothing about your circumstances has.

Love and connection

Venus is in Libra, your 12th house of rest, endings and the inner life, so this week the important part happens quietly, out of view, and resists being rushed. Protect one genuinely unscheduled evening and let something finish.

Venus makes no exact aspect this week. That is not a dead spell so much as an unforced one — whatever happens here happens because you initiated it, not because the sky did.

Work and money

Mars is in Leo, your 10th house, which is where your effort will actually land this week — career, reputation and what you are known for. Mercury in Scorpio puts the conversations and paperwork in your 1st house instead, so the thinking and the doing are aimed at different targets.

The Sun is still in Scorpio, your 1st house, which is the background theme for the whole month rather than just this week: the attention falls on you rather than on your circumstances.

Wellbeing

The Moon does not touch your twelfth house this week, so there is no built-in rest window. You will have to make one. Energy tracks the Moon this week: it peaks around the Full Moon on Monday, October 26. As a water sign you absorb the mood of whatever room you are in; some of this week's tiredness will not be yours.

Dates that matter

The week has a few fixed points. These are they:

• Monday, October 26 — Sun square Pluto. They pull at cross purposes, and the friction is the point rather than a fault. It connects your 1st house (self and how you come across) with your 4th house (home, family and roots).
• Wednesday, October 28 — Sun quincunx Uranus. They never quite line up, which shows as a nagging sense of something being slightly off. It connects your 1st house (self and how you come across) with your 8th house (shared money, depth and change).
• Friday, October 30 — Mercury square Mars. They grind against each other, which is uncomfortable and productive in roughly equal measure. It connects your 1st house (self and how you come across) with your 10th house (career and public standing).
• Sunday, November 1 — Sun quincunx Saturn. They sit at an angle with no natural resolution — you adapt rather than solve. It connects your 1st house (self and how you come across) with your 6th house (work, routine and health).
