The Scorpion King

Scorpion and Taurus are opposites on the astrological wheel, which means the planets are also clashing, but there's space for compromise. What personal clashes will you have this week?

Are you feeling the intensity so far after the first week of Scorpio season?

This week’s readings are all about opposition tension and finding a middle ground. Taurus is a sign polar to Scorpio, so when planets are in Taurus, they face off with planets in Scorpio, which already adds to the extremes of Scorpio season. Jupiter and Uranus are in Taurus, and they face off with the Sun, Mercury, Mars, and the Midheaven (the area of your career, status, and reputation.)

In a nutshell, this means that you are definitely going to feel like taking big risks in your relationships, your money, and your career, but it’s also important to practice patience and moderation, especially since the planet of Jupiter is about good fortune and Uranus is about embracing the new and the radical. There will be aspects of your life where you will feel like busting loose, but as Taurus and Scorpio are polar opposites, they are also complementary, so use this opposition to work with difficulties and change for the better.

ARIES

Your fortunes are rising, and your prospects are golden: you feel ready to make big investments in your home, even a new car, but there’s no rush. Lean into it slowly so that you can see what’s up ahead.

TAURUS

You will always be true to yourself, but others might be too demanding for your loyalty. Stay grounded, but not too guarded. You may have more influence with your friends and family than you realize.

GEMINI

Be careful not to repeat the same career mistakes of the past. Now is the time for self-honesty about your agenda and your ambitions, especially since other people may be figuring them out before you.

CANCER

The boundaries between your inner and outer circle might get a little agitated, and you might feel overly protective, but keep your door open for new allies and new friends.

LEO

This Scorpio season, you may risk losing yourself in your worldly ambitions, but it’s important to stay rooted so that you can grow as high as you want to.

VIRGO

You may be challenged by friends and acquaintances this week. Understand your relationships outside of your point of view. Analyzing is fine, but make sure you have accurate notes.

LIBRA

Lucky windfalls in finance may spur you to extreme indulgence, but as with everything in your life, you must find balance and ensure you don’t end up going in the red.

SCORPIO

When you fall in love, do you fall in love with the person or the way the person falls in love with you? You’ll feel a huge ego boost in your personal relationships; don’t let that eclipse the value of what the other person brings.

SAGITTARIUS

You will be tempted to follow passion and not purpose. There’s nothing wrong with getting away from it all and enjoying solitude, but even in your wandering, there still must be a purpose.

CAPRICORN

The public has always been your playground, and you’ve always been inspired to dominate in social circles, but be careful not to make that an end and not the means. The who, why, and what matters.

AQUARIUS

When it comes to human interaction, feelings are not your thing, and yet you are human after all, so be careful, but you don’t compute honesty as personal affronts. No one is declaring war; they are asking for understanding.

PISCES

Scorpio may intensify your affinity to get lost in your feelings, especially since your world, personal relationships, and career are changing. Don’t lose yourself in the depths; stay close to surface level.
