Scorpio Monthly Horoscope

With Mercury retrograde in your orderly sixth house, be precise with instructions and interactions. Triple-confirm that you’ve truly understood directions yourself—and that anyone taking marching orders from you knows exactly what’s expected. Check in regularly with your employees, service providers and teammates. 

Guard your health as well since Mercury is a “high-touch” planet: Going the extra mile when it comes to washing your hands and avoiding the snifflers and coughers is a good idea during this backspin. (Even if people claim they’re sneezing from spring allergies, you don’t have to believe them.) Slow down and stay present to avoid careless accidents now. Better to extend a deadline than to multitask and make a critical error.

This retrograde-proofing is doubly important since we’re in the middle of eclipse season, a time when people are off-center and ungrounded. Hold tight for the second round of eclipses—and this one’s a biggie! On April 8, the Aries new moon arrives as a total solar eclipse and supermoon. With a path of totality sweeping across parts of the USA, this is the cosmic event skywatchers have been eagerly anticipating, and the first Great American Eclipse since August 2017. 

The April 8 eclipse will feature SIX placements in Aries: the Sun, moon, Mercury (retrograde), Venus, the north node and healer-feeler Chiron. We’ve nicknamed this event the Chironeclipse since Chiron is in a tight conjunction with the Sun and moon.
