Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

You’re on a roll, Scorpio, but pump the brakes for a sec. This Monday, July 6, a tangled angle between the brilliant Sun and sober Saturn brings a reality check for some of your loftier plans. This doesn't have to be a roadblock. Quite the contrary! Instead of stressing over how much a plan will cost or the amount of time involved, take time to map it all out on paper. Check in with experts and get advice from people who have been down this road before themselves. You might discover a few DIY hacks or get a referral for a worker who can do a great job on a leaner budget. Whether you've been speeding ahead at breakneck speed or spinning your wheels, the Sun-Saturn square cautions against competition and perfectionism. Keeping up with the Joneses just detours you from YOUR true path. If you've lost sight of your original intention, pressing pause to re-center yourself would be a wise move. Don't worry: Once you're back in tune with yourself, you'll swiftly make up for lost time.

This Tuesday, July 7, sensitive Neptune slips into its annual five-month retrograde. This year—and until 2039, it’s stealing back through Aries and your wellness corner, which can actually be good news! You can only ignore your health and fitness for so long before it catches up with you. In direct motion, Neptune can bring confusion or distortion, but in reverse, it can inspire a review of your regimens, including self-care. If it’s time for a lifestyle shift, you’ll be ready to dig deep between now and December 12. Don’t fall into the mental trap of believing that making shifts automatically involves sacrifice and deprivation. Challenge yourself during this five-month backspin to create a plan that feels right and is flexible enough to stick to. Soulful Neptune adds a transcendental shimmer to everything it touches—even when retrograde. Reframe cardio workouts, whether at the gym or in nature, as a chance to listen to podcasts or audio books. And consider giving your “rewards” a healthy upgrade by swapping that glass of wine for a raw cacao smoothie.

New policy: As of this Thursday, July 9 there will be no more judging books by their covers—at least not before you’ve thumbed through the TOC and the opening chapter. Convivial Venus parades into Virgo and your eclectic, eccentric eleventh house for her annual visit, which lasts until August 6. While you'll have a long fuse for innovators, inventors, artists, activists and unapologetic rebels, you might not have much of a taste for "normcore." Your social spheres could expand exponentially during this cycle, bringing all sorts of free thinkers into your orbit. The eleventh house is also your tech and teamwork sector, and with love goddess Venus taking up residence, single Scorpios may have better than usual success on dating apps. Group hangs might also yield some hot prospects, so don't cling to your standard besties. Work the room, knowing that anyone's plus-one has kind of been "pre-screened." Attached? This is a good few weeks for socializing more as a couple. Where do your squads overlap? Here's a chance to form a joint entourage of people you BOTH enjoy and fill the summer calendar with barbecues and weekend trips.
