Today’s Scorpio Horoscope:
In any given 22 month Mars cycle there are just two points where the warrior planet will allow you to slow down. Those two points are when he finally reaches a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart or when he turns retrograde. When that happens, Mars will spend eight months rather than six weeks fixated on one area of life. It is the latter that happens at the end of this month, with Mars returning to your busy work sector and not leaving until 2021. This makes Mars’ more playful agenda now a chance to first establish the right balance between work and play.
Weekly and Monthly Scorpio Horoscopes:
Scorpio Weekly Horoscope
It is not just an eclipsing Full Moon that puts a lot of focus on the Moon this week, with its return to Scorpio midweek just as important. While the Moon returns to Scorpio every four weeks and is always a valuable chance to check in, coming full circle from last month’s Full Moon this will see a lot of things fall into place. The Moon will leave Scorpio and return to your income sector on Friday and this is when the wheels are set in motion for the lunar eclipse this will create, just as you are moving into the weekend. This will see the Moon clash with the Sun and Venus just after they have spent the middle part of the week aligned in your financial sector midweek. As this is the first of several eclipses that will result from the lunar nodes’ return to your two money houses last week, this will be a chance get a feel for impact this will have on both sides of the financial fence.
Scorpio Monthly Horoscope
There is not only fewer planetary movements this month than in any other month this year at no point during the month will there be fewer than three planets in retrograde motion, at one point five and with four still in retrograde motion at the end of the month. Last month Mercury visited three different areas of your chart and Venus, who normally spends just 24 days in each area of your chart will normally visit at least two. Instead, the only planets not ending the month where they started are the Sun and Mars. When you combine the number of planets in retrograde motion and the fact that so many are already in retrograde motion this should be a lacklustre month but it will be anything but. You can thank two eclipses for that, where the planets are staying put and where there is movement. The Sun, as is always the case, will spend the first three weeks of June in your financial sector before returning to an adventurous part of your chart on 21st June. The Moon will also return here on 21st June, aligning with the Sun to create a solar eclipse. This is also where Mercury will spend the whole month, with his retrograde turn on 18th June keeping him here, while opening the doors to the past and second chances just days before a solar eclipse creates the potential for new opportunities. With Mars spending the first four weeks of the month in a playful part of your chart and planetary activity in an adventurous part all month, this is an energy you are happy to stay in. This will also make it easier to protect against life becoming all work and no play when Mars not only returns to your busy work sector but will become part of what is becoming a recurring theme. Venus, who will normally spend just 24 days in your financial sector each year returned in early April but because of a retrograde phase won’t leave until August, while Mercury who returned for what should have been a 14 to 15 day visit to an adventurous part of your chart will stay there until August as well, because of a retrograde turn on 18th June. Likewise, Mars will return to your busy work sector for what should be a six week visit but will instead spend the rest of the year here.

Even so, they are still very appreciative of the efforts afforded to their nurturing, with their appreciation re-payed in their efforts towards their own established family.
That being said, a Scorpio’s love and devotion afforded to their own established family is boundless, perhaps at times being excessively so. They can be overly protective, and can have too high expectations for their partner and children.
