SCORPIO

Find the missing element

Define those desires

Get talking

Money and self-worth matters kick start December for you. We have a new Moon in your 2^nd (1^st). Plus two key oppositions between Mercury and Jupiter in your 8^th (4^th and 26^th). Pointing to a complete financial re-set, Scorpio. Time to cash-in. Your take-out is a big and rich feeling that transcends what’s in your bank account. But does in fact set your stock value to gain more. Check your New Moon in Sagittarius Moonscope on how to reinvest in you.

The most influential transit of this month is your secondary ruler Mars retrograde in your 10^th (from the 6^th). This is a long, slow burn which is going to last all the way into 2025. It is asking you to halt and think about your long term path and direction. Yes, this is also linked to assets and self-worth. What you feel you have earned or deserve. Rewards and recognition. And the power of your potential.

While the energy may mean you are in a holding pattern when it comes to moving on up until March, this does give you an opportunity to look at what you really want. And all the implications of your long term choices and decisions. If something isn’t working for you, you can reassess and redress it. If this involves your actual job or position right now, do keep in mind that Mercury is in retrograde at the start of the month. It will shift forward on the 15^th. But then take until January 1 to clear post-shadow. So, you may want to hold off any actual moves or applications until then.

The same goes for major relationship makes or even breaks. Big decisions like move in, be exclusive or head to splitsville. Especially if this is decided in the heat of the moment. Changes or heart and mind can and will occur (yours or the other party’s!). In fact, should someone tell you it’s over under the Mars retrograde, you might want to adopt a ‘wait and see’ between now and April.

The other aspect of this Mars retro is that someone from your past can come back in again. That doesn’t mean you have to, however. Old astro rules tell us that if this happens under a Mars retro this is likely to end up being a Hi and Goodbye. In other words, they come in to then exit again. This time for good. It doesn’t always happen but keep this in mind as a strong possibility. Yet another reason for not going all in with that heart until at the very earliest, February. And you need to use caution right up until April.

What’s working for you is not only your main ruler Pluto now in your 4^th, but the arrival of your love planet Venus in here on the 7^th. These two entangle the same day. What are you still searching for, Scorpio? That missing element in a current union? Or the kind of love you’ve always been searching for, but never found? You’ll be able to negotiate or adjust your settings to bring this about. Or else understand where this can be found thanks to this and the arrival of Ceres (8^th).

Like ruler Pluto, Ceres symbolises power. It also has links to Taurus and your partnership sector. As well as your money. So take it there’s a new and better deal on offer in both love or money for you. One where you don’t have to give up pieces of your soul to get what you need. And also one that two people can gain from. Yes, this may mean giving something up. But most likely it’s simply an old attitude. And that costs you nothing.

Saving vs. splurging will continue to be your main theme right up until the start of 2025. Hopefully you took my advice last month and got your present shopping out of the way before the Mercury retrograde in your money zone. If you still haven’t done yours, please do wait now until after the 15^th which sees Mercury move ahead again. And a full Moon in your ‘other’ money house. Conjunct Jupiter in here. This can bring in money owed or even for some, a nice little holiday bonus. Don’t buy things on this day itself. Wait a couple of days. Although Mercury is still in post-shadow, it is at least heading forward by then. And you will be less likely to indulge in emotional purchases or buy the wrong thing!

What you have learned from your relationship to money, abundance and the key to all of this – self-worth and acceptance can now be put to good use. With Pluto now in your 4^th – you should be investing in anything that enhances your long term security. Or which allows you to feel that all important sense of home and safety. Moves may lie ahead for you. Even big relocations for some of you in the coming year. So, make a plan ahead of this. And if you are looking at gains, put them aside for this.

If you have been waiting on news, an answer or even a bonus or pay rise, it can appear right before the turn of the year. There’s something last minute and surprising occurring for you after the 21^st when the Sun enters Capricorn and your 3^rd. Just when you had resigned yourself to a stalemate or a situation being stuck, it miraculously un-sticks. Or you receive a better outcome than you originally envisaged. Look to the 20^th for signs of progress just prior to the Sun changing signs.

But you could be ending the old year with news of an upcoming improvement or something springs to life again thanks to the new ‘Black’ moon in your 3^rd. This is the first new Moon to appear in here since 2008 that’s free of Pluto reshaping your ideas. Has something stood the test of time? It may have gone through a few incarnations. But remains relevant and ready for its rebirth. Keep in mind that from mid-2025, Jupiter will enter your 9^th bigging up those dreams and visions, opening doors to travel, learning and opportunity in a way you’ve not experienced in 12 years. This also triggers your need to be more open with those around you. You’ll discuss your hopes, your dreams and yes, even air those vulnerabilities in a way you may not have been able to do earlier.

Love? It’s the conversation and the mental turn-out that attracts you now. And if you’re working with that Mars retro energy correctly, you’re in no great hurry to move things past the getting to know you stage too quickly. You’ll enjoy the flirtation, the anticipation and also, the chase. For others, your online presence, writing, speaking, sharing, design, photography, that podcast or feed, that topic you care about, that business plan or side hustle, gathers momentum and propels you forward. Set your direction.

In a nutshell: Old ruler Mars retrogrades in your house of success and status. Rewards may take longer than usual to appear. But Pluto has a new set of rules for you when it comes to living authentically.
