SCORPIO

Big bold moves are made with self-assurance

Choose your moment of revelation

Happy birthday, Scorpio!

Happy solar return, phoenix! Time to rise into a deeply transformative fresh chapter. One that gives you extra power thanks to old ruler Mars in residence when this new cycle begins. Catch that wave as early as the 20^th when Mercury and Mars meet. Vision and intention fuse giving you a mighty kick-start when it comes to a specific vision, goal or dream you have for yourself. This is a rare alignment to take place just prior to the Sun’s arrival on the 23^rd. It cements your self-belief and you are afire with confidence and self-assurance. You embody what you intend to have, do or become. You walk the talk, Scorpio. And because there’s no doubt in your mind about this – you leave others in no doubt as to your meaning also.

Mercury is slowing down from the 21^st as it enters pre-retroshadow. So, take it you may go back over this in the upcoming weeks. Next we have a secretive new moon in your 12^th (21^st). This marks the closing of a chapter. And a quiet release in preparation for stepping into the new. Its square to Jupiter in your 9^th tells you that you have something big simmering in the background. That plan, vision or goal which calls to you. But to follow through you may have to step away from the familiar and enter unknown territory.

You may also not be ready to share what this is with others. Your sign is the original 9/10^th mystery. The dark horse of the zodiac. As opposed to those Sagittarians next door who are the rodeo ponies! All rhinestones and neigh-saying buck the rules when it comes to their freedom. You however – I always say Scorpio is one of the least understood signs of the zodiac. The 9/10^th metaphor comes from an iceberg. We see only 1/10th of it above the surface. Beautiful and glittering in the sunlight. And there’s so much more going on below. So yes, go with the mystery until you’re ready to reveal those plans, Scorpio. Keep ‘em guessing. Especially as Neptune moves back into your 5^th for a final visit from the 22^nd.

The Scorpio life path is one of owning your power. And you do that not by trying to control others or control outcomes. By by owning yourself. All of you – not just the surface 1/10th you let others see. Owning yourself means being in control of your reactions. And knowing the only thing you can ever change is your response. Neptune’s return to your 5^th may remove illusions around romance, your ability to be yourself or even parenting. Know you are in control of how you respond. That could turn into the biggest transformation of all this fresh cycle.

Yes, the Sun amplifies your brilliance from the 23^rd. You can pick and choose what you highlight or reveal to others thanks to Jupiter’s square to Chiron in your 6^th. And know what? You’re forever okay with that now, Scorpio. And are able to resist pressure to engage in things which simply don’t feel right. Such as sharing before you feel ready for instance.

Mercury eases you into the new in spectacular form with two beautiful trines to Jupiter (24^th) and Saturn (25^th). You are able to lean into a fresh goal or vision by taking bold but grounded steps. Plus you are ready for the truth. Your own or accepting the truth when it comes to a situation which surrounds you. You’re fully integrated when it comes to what you choose to showcase and reveal. And as for what lies beneath – you know who or when you choose to share that with. That’s real power, Scorpio.

In a nutshell: Happy birthday, Scorpio. The Sun’s arrival in your sign is your time of renewal, fresh starts and relaunches. But you are in charge of both the timing – and what you choose to reveal. Your secretive side may keep something under wraps. More in your New Moon in Libra Moonscope.
