Scorpio Monthly Horoscope

Patience pays off this month, Scorpio. Retrograde mischief abounds as two planets backspin through your sign: wealth-magnet Venus (October 3 to 25) and communicator Mercury (October 24 to November 13). There may be moments when you have to fight extra hard to not feel misunderstood or overlooked. 

Stand firm, Scorpio. Instead of jostling your way into the spotlight, let the chaotic energy settle. With the Sun in your sign from the 23rd, the spotlight finds your talents and your potential to profit from them. Your time to shine is coming!

If you’re working on a pitch or negotiating a deal, have your supporting data thoroughly researched and at-the-ready—you’re going to need it! And once again, you’ll also require a boatload of patience as you may need to restate terms over and over.

The Libra new moon on October 10 falls in your twelfth house of closure, hinting at the need to release financial habits that no longer suit you. Maybe you’ve been carrying debt or obligations longer than necessary. This new cycle helps you create space for healthier earning opportunities and fiscal fitness. Release those limiting beliefs and old stories.

A dynamic duo moment arrives on October 26 when the Taurus full moon activates your partnership house. You could be offered a lucrative deal or walk away from a venture that’s been draining your energy and bank account. But go slowly, since not only is Mercury retrograde, but the full moon is caught in the crossfire with your ruler, shadowy Pluto, and the Scorpio Sun. Delay signing any contracts until you’re crystal-clear that this aligns with your big-picture goals.
