Scorpio monthly horoscope
Oct 23 – Nov 21 · Water · Fixed · ruled by Pluto
House of the Hidden: the month ahead
The Sun in Libra
The Sun spends most of the month in your 12th house of solitude, so what lies behind the scenes and beneath awareness is where your attention and energy naturally collect.
Inner planets
Mercury in Scorpio (your 1st house), Venus retrograde in Scorpio (your 1st house) and Mars in Leo (your 10th house) set the tone: your thinking and talk, your affections and values and your drive and desire each work through different parts of your life. Venus is retrograde, so review before you commit.
Moon phases
Last Quarter on Oct 3 in Cancer, lighting your 9th house (travel). New Moon on Oct 10 in Libra, lighting your 12th house (solitude). First Quarter on Oct 18 in Capricorn, lighting your 3rd house (siblings). Full Moon on Oct 26 in Taurus, lighting your 7th house (marriage and one-to-one bonds).
Sky events
Sun enters Scorpio on Oct 23. Venus enters Libra on Oct 25. Venus stations retrograde on Oct 3. Pluto stations direct on Oct 16. Mercury stations retrograde on Oct 24.
The long view
Jupiter in Leo (your 10th house) expands career and public image, while Saturn retrograde in Aries (your 6th house) asks for patience and structure in daily work, health and routine.
Advice
Lean on what comes naturally to Scorpio: working intensely, privately and all the way down. Keep an eye on jealousy and control, and make room for rest, solitude and the inner world.
