Scorpio Monthly Love Horoscope

September opens with a mix of heart-healing beams and the hot pursuit of new horizons. One part of you is fixating on the past, while another is ready to leave that all in the rearview and go bounding off in search of fresh experiences.

Bold Mars sits in Cancer and your expansive ninth house until September 27. You're in a relaxed, open-minded mood—not the clingy, envious energy your sign sometimes gets pegged with. Passionate end-of-summer sparks are likely to show up while exploring new places or trying something unfamiliar. The bigger the leap outside your usual routine, the more thrilling the payoff can be.

Meanwhile, harmonious Venus is in Libra and your healing twelfth house until September 10, revealing your softer side. Venus helps you see things from the POV of others. Get into your supportive-partner mindset, too. You may need to be there for a partner or a love interest who's going through a rough patch. Open your heart and let love in. Need to let go of something? Venus supports your efforts.

Just watch the trap of falling into a codependent rhythm. The twelfth house is the realm of illusions. Make sure you're not putting someone on an undeserved pedestal, or unfairly demonizing them by projecting your own issues onto them. Sure, you've been hurt before, but what does that have to do with the person standing in front of you? 

From September 10 to October 25, Venus will be in Scorpio! When Venus visits your sign, your magnetic mojo comes back full force. You’ll be ready for a frisky fall makeover and to get out and flirt again. Did your confidence feel shaky over the past few weeks? It’s back with a vengeance, and people are taking notice. 

The only caveat is that Venus slips into a retrograde while in Scorpio. Venus makes its challenging backspin from October 3 to November 13, reversing through two of the most relationship-oriented zodiac signs: YOURS from October 3 to 25 and then Libra from October 25 to November 13. This six-week cycle, which only comes around every 18 months, can complicate matters of love. On the positive side, it’s also a chance to put old love stories to bed and to write a fresh chapter for your heart.
