SCORPIO

Stop the heavy lifting

Just who or what is influencing you?

See past the illusion to what’s real

Did something start out easy but then turned into heavy lifting on your part, Scorpio? Or did you lose the faith in your plans and dreams? And if the latter – who or what planted those seeds of doubt?

Mercury leaves your sign and re-enters Sagittarius and your 2^nd house this week (11^th). Just before iy exits, it makes a third and finally clarifying trine to newly-direct Neptune in your 5^th. Combined with squares from old ruler Mars in your 2^nd to both Saturn (9^th) and Neptune (14^th), from your house of self-worth, this creates a big reveal moment around something you are or have been heavily invested in, Scorpio. And how it (or they) are influencing you. And will also show you what’s real and what is illusory at the same time.

The heavy lifting could be that relationship where you are now the one doing all the running and the other party simply distances or gives nothing back. Anyone from that squeeze to that collaborator. Or you realise you’ve sought the approval of others instead of simply your own when it comes to those goals or dreams. And have taken on board their limitations in the process.

If you’ve felt unusually demotivated or that your dreams had turned lacklustre, you’ll reclaim both passion and burning vision as Mercury moves into Sagittarius. And aligns to ruler Pluto in your 4^th for the third and final time this retro-cycle. Expect a revival around those plans. And also a guilt-free ditching of anything that requires you to put in more than your fair share, Scorpio. And which doesn’t pay you back equally in return. Yes, you’re back in pursuit mode again. But you’re only chasing what’s truly worthwhile. Burn baby, burn!

In a nutshell: There’s nothing wrong with the slow-burn. For one thing, it burns away illusion and exposes the truth behind it. That’s what you’ll get to see as Mercury leaves your sign this week. Get ready for the big reveal.
