Because come this Saturday, La Luna ushers in a new relationship phase, paving the way for a thrilling transformation. This new Moon green lights rejuvenating an existing relationship or discovering a new romance. With Mercury retrograde ending on Tuesday, you can throw yourself into your manifestation practices and set your intentions - so aim high. Craft the romantic connection you desire with a new love connection or by strengthening your bond with your partner.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 7 May 2023

For married Scorpios, disagreements among your in-laws may stir up family tension. It’s best to avoid getting involved – instead, provide support from the sidelines and remain neutral. Single Scorpions might face a similar situation within their friend group. Although staying out of the fray might be tough, it’s ultimately the best choice. You’re known to get fired up during passionate debates, so in this case, it’s wise to keep your opinions to yourself.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 30 April 2023

Scorpio, this week brings a defining moment! Saturday’s lunar eclipse concludes a series of eclipses in your sign that started a year ago. Reflect on the major themes and transformations that have taken place since then. Gather all the insights and experiences you’ve gained over the past 12 months, and move forward with renewed wisdom and confidence. Remember, though, that this eclipse still has a few lessons up its sleeve. Pay attention and absorb all the knowledge it has to offer.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 23 April 2023

Considering a getaway? Mercury and Mars may tempt you with a staycation or a trip abroad, but if that’s not feasible, consider breaking free from your routine in other ways. This could be as simple as immersing yourself in a captivating book or binge-watching your favourite Netflix series. Couples crave more one-on-one time this week, making an escape for two an ideal way to reconnect. For singles, the cosmic narrative is different. You’ll be eager to connect with a plethora of potential love interests. But keep Mercury’s retrograde in mind; the person you swipe may be different from the person that shows up.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 16 April 2023

Mercury’s backward spin in your relationship zone could stir up doubts about someone close personally or professionally. It’s okay, healthy even, to ruminate over your concerns, and you may realise that you have nothing to worry about. Most likely, you just need some time to sort out your thoughts. If that turns out to be the case, don’t feel you need to air your reservations. Doing that will only provoke their insecurities and you’ll end up with a mess of confused, hurt feelings. You are a private soul, Scorpio. Keep it that way this week.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 9 April 2023

Let’s face it, Scorpio, you can be a tad obsessive. Being a super passionate soul, you throw yourself into relationships and situations with everything you have. Middle ground just isn’t in your vocabulary. But is this quality really deserving of such a bad wrap? Not this week. Whether you’re falling in love, committing to a new project or dedicating yourself to a cause close to your heart, you’re all in. Don’t hold back from giving 100 per cent to whatever or whoever piques your passion. The more devoted you are, the greater the rewards will be.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 2 April 2023

Guard against a manipulative person who says they have your back – but clearly don’t. Sorry to be blunt, but their smile is as fake as their friendship, and you know it, Scorpio. Still, you don’t have to call them out. The best course of action is to distance yourself and turn a deaf ear to their misleading advice. However, if you prefer, Mercury and Mars support a conversation where you politely tell this person where to go. But it’s totally up to you. Some Scorpios relish in dirty talk that pushes all the right sexual buttons this week.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 26 March 2023

Mercury is in retrograde and all that jazz. However, this week is favourable for you, as Mars, your ruling planet, is in full swing, supported by Saturn. By the end of the week, you’ll reflect on your many accomplishments, and that’s something to be proud of. On top of that, achieving a long-held dream is within reach if you can put your ego aside. It might require some elbow grease, but you’re no stranger to hard work and investing 100 per cent towards your passions.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 19 March 2023

If you’re feeling fine health-wise, but would prefer to be jumping out of your skin with boundless energy, then this week’s stars have got you covered. However, you need to spur yourself on to make this happen rather than waiting for it to come to you. Fortunately, with the Sun and Mercury glowing in your wellness zone, finding motivation shouldn’t be too difficult. But, if you’re still feeling lacklustre despite doing all the right things, the Sun offers hope in the form of fresh impetus, renewed inspiration, or a helping hand.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 12 March 2023

As an unstoppable Scorpio, you have the power to be your own biggest supporter. Don’t let anyone hurt your self-esteem or make you doubt your values when Mars and Neptune collide on Wednesday. Stay true to your beliefs, and don’t let any undermining opinions get in the way. Your voice deserves to be heard, and your opinion matters. Even if people disagree or try to criticise you, remember that you are strong enough to stand up for yourself. Keep pushing forward with unshakable self-belief.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 5 March 2023

For single Scorpios, Saturn has reached the end of its bad boy era. It’s time to move on from those dates who are master mind-game players. You deserve much better than that, so don’t settle for anything less than an awesome catch. And for those already coupled up, get ready to strengthen your love connection with your forever person, as something wonderful is on the horizon. This meaningful experience manifests as a heartfelt conversation or a vulnerable moment as you share a connection that transcends the ordinary.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 26 February 2023

If you’re planning to chat with a family member about a sensitive topic this week, it’s important to tread carefully. Be true to yourself while expressing your thoughts respectfully. The connection between Mercury and Saturn suggests that honesty is crucial, but it’s also necessary to be tolerant and unbiased. The key is actively listening, finding common ground, and respecting each other’s boundaries. This week, a relaxed and empathetic conversation fosters mutual understanding and personal growth for everyone involved.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 19 February 2023

Figuring out what’s really going on with a friend or family member is a bit like peeling back the layers of an onion – it might make you tear up, but it’ll give you some clarity. Listen to your gut and watch what they do. People eventually show their true selves, and with Mercury and Mars on your side, you’ll be able to see through any act they put on. Keep an open mind, but don’t hesitate to set some boundaries if someone’s intentions don’t match up with yours.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 12 February 2023

When it comes to money moves, Mars says to proceed with caution. Do your due diligence, weigh the ups and downs, and only invest what you’re comfortable potentially losing. This week, hold off on taking any significant financial risks. And, if you’re considering borrowing, have a solid payback plan. But don’t let this discourage you from growing your money tree, Scorpio. Mercury’s green light from lucky Jupiter suggests a smart choice that could bring financial gains. Just stay informed and confident in your decisions. Remember, financial success is a marathon, not a sprint, so stay focused, and the cash will come your way.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 5 February 2023

Do people assume you’re a sex goddess when they discover you’re a Scorpio? While that’s an oversimplified version of your sensual talents, you can wear that hat this week. Venus makes a hot and heavy connection with red planet Mars in your zones of romance and intimacy. Add those sexy astro factors together, and you get a wild romp between the sheets. But it goes deeper than that. Whether on a one-night stand or while making love to your long-term partner, you’ll share a profoundly personal moment that takes your physical and emotional connection to the next level.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 29 January 2023

For Scorpios who have fallen out with a male relative, this week’s astrology helps you heal the rift. Provided you want to, of course. Perhaps you spoke some harsh words or did something you now regret. Maybe it’s you in the forgiveness seat. In that case, an open discussion gets you back on the same page, but it’s important to drop any pretences or false illusions. Be authentically you, and the chips will fall in your favour regardless of the outcome. Someone in your family receives some good news or a stroke of luck.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 22 January 2023

You don’t hear much about Uranus’ retrograde, do you? But when the rebellious planet ditches its backwards spin in your relationship zone on Monday, it’s cause for celebration. Since August last year, you’ve been contemplating a change in your love life or a working partnership, but Uranus’ rewind put any impending changes in the too-hard basket. Well, that’s no longer the case, Scorpio. Expect a solution or a new chapter to miraculously present itself this week. Follow your gut instincts without question.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope: 15 January 2023

A war of words breaks out if a bestie is brutally straightforward. Sure, honesty is the best policy. But that doesn’t give anyone the right to hurt another’s feelings. Tell your friend that! Your reaction? It’s either gonna be the silent treatment or a verbal lashing, and considering your deathly glower and your wicked sarcasm neither is a soft option. Still, be big-hearted, Scorpio. Your friend’s outburst stems from insecurity rather than any cruel intention or meanness.

Week beginning January 8

Mars gives you back your mojo, especially if you’ve been stretching yourself too thin across many different projects or responsibilities. If you’re a mum juggling work and family commitments, Mars’ move has your name all over it. Your energy may take a while to pick up the pace, so give yourself time. But if being at the top of your game is your priority, invest in your wellbeing over the weekend. Do whatever it takes to replenish your physical and mental reserves. Even if that means stepping away from the kids for a few hours.

Week beginning January 1

With the phoenix as one of your ancient symbols, you were born out of the fire. So it’s no surprise that you thrive in emotionally charged situations and relationships. On Sunday, Venus’ intense exchange with Pluto turns up the heat. This means taking your connection up a notch or two for long-term lovers. But how you choose to do that depends on your current relationship. Could your sex life do with a tune-up, or do you need to work on communication? Crazy chemistry finds single Scorpions this week.

Week beginning December 25

A war of words at the Christmas table is possible as the Sun faces off with Mars in communicative Gemini. The trouble is, what you want to say may not come out exactly as you’d hoped. Or, you might not hear the true intentions behind someone’s words. That’s okay. Forewarned is forearmed. After reading your horoscope, you’ll know to take any clashes of opinion with a pinch of salt. And, if you’re the one licking your wounds after a verbal lashing, take comfort in knowing that things will heal quickly. Remember that Christmas is a time of forgiveness, and let love win.

Week beginning December 18

The Sun’s skip into your sector of short journeys whisks you away on a relaxing trip to recharge your batteries. Sound like heaven? If a holiday isn’t in your pipeline, why not make it happen? Of course, it’s the mad festive rush, but arriving at Christmas with no fuel in your tank isn’t going to make happy memories. Snatching a sneaky break is the key to surviving and thriving this week. Even if it means waking an hour earlier, carve out some quality me time. By the way, it’s amazing how replenishing an early morning walk can be.

Week beginning December 11

Expect a clash with someone that’s a know-it-all, no thanks to Mercury and Mars’ difference of opinion. But this disagreement isn’t all bad, as it comes with a silver lining. While your verbal opponent is full of hot air and misguided views, there is a small pearl of wisdom in something they say. This brilliant information is randomly spat out, so you’ll have to pay attention. Unfortunately, this means tuning into this person’s nonsense. Just listen politely, keep your mouth shut and your ears wide open.

Week beginning December 4

Pinning for your ex or reflecting on your love goals? Then you’ll be pleased to know the time to move on has come. Leave old flames in the past and affirm your romantic wishes because love is looking up whether or not you’re in a committed relationship. This celestial upswing is Neptune’s gear shift, which ramps things up in the romance department. Set clear intentions; you’re in an excellent position to ask for what your heart truly desires. But remember, you can’t expect the universe to deliver if you don’t know what you want.

Week beginning November 27

Mercury and Mars alliance drops a truth bomb. Whether you’re serving up cold hard facts or hearing them is uncertain, but either way, the conversation clears the air. Things may be a tad uncomfortable at first, but once it’s all said and done, you’ll be satisfied with the final outcome. If you’re speaking up, try not to be overly concerned with how the other person will take the news. Just tell your truth. How they react is their business (which should be a relief to you).

Week beginning November 20

This week, the Sun’s shift into your values sector delivers an ‘aha’ moment where you realise just how much something (or someone) means to you. Whether it’s a loved one you want to spend more quality time with or a creative pursuit that deserves your undivided attention, Le Soleil reconnects you with your commitment to this person or purpose. Perhaps you want to pour your energy into a lofty ambition? The Sun allows you to drop everything else and focus on that one thing (or person) that lights your fire.

Week beginning November 13

A lot is going on in your sign and in your head this week. Not only that, you’re feeling all the big feels as your zodiac season prepares to wrap up for another year. Overwhelm could creep in if you refuse to reflect on what’s transpired over the past four weeks. Ask yourself, do you need to make any changes before moving forward? What do you need to eliminate to rise? A solid plan helps you feel more in control, less scattered and more emotionally centred. Spend some time in reflection, and all will be well.

Week beginning November 6

Embrace your inner genius, Scorpio. When the Sun and clever Mercury collide in your sign, a brilliant idea or flash of inspiration hits you like a ton of bricks! This insight is likely to be so simple that you’ll wonder why you haven’t thought of it before. But the truth is, the timing wasn’t quite right. Stay open to what comes up around midweek, and don’t discard a thought that seems too good to be true - it’s on the money! Combine this week’s super-sharp mental prowess with your heart’s intuition - it’s a winning combination.

Week beginning October 30

On Monday, your planetary ruler reverses through your intimacy sector, causing you to put up your walls. You’re a super private person, and that’s okay, but don’t lock out those that genuinely love and care about you. Trust is often at the heart of the issue. Just make sure your suspicions are not misdirected towards the wrong people. The best way forward is to create emotional boundaries to keep negativity out while allowing the right friends and family in.

Week beginning October 23

Your birthday month kicks off on Sunday, with the Sun and Venus elevating your vibe and personal power. If you’re open to it, a dramatic shift is on the cards, with love, money and sex all in the cosmic spotlight, when Tuesday’s eclipse, the second of two in your sign in 2022, completes a process that started in May of last year. What came up for you then? Ask yourself, if you could change anything in one of these three areas, what would it be? Take the next step with a fierce attitude and unshakable self-belief. With enough trust, anything can be accomplished.

Week beginning October 16

Feeling a little lacklustre, Scorpio? There’s nothing wrong with you, it’s just the cosmos’ way of slowing you down, and there’s a valid reason for this week’s hiatus. If you’ve been stretching yourself thin, you’ll need to replenish your reserves, and you can’t do that while maintaining the same fast pace. So, retreat into your cave and shed what’s kept you from being your vibrant best self. That means no more fake smiles, no more people-pleasing and above all, no more draining your energy for someone else’s benefit.

Week beginning October 9

If social media is your thing, you’ll be tempted to change how you interact on your favourite platform. Maybe you’re sick of putting yourself out there in a way that isn’t authentic, but you feel pressured to keep up appearances? Or you’re inspired to upgrade your Instagram aesthetic. Either way, how you communicate yourself - your thoughts, looks, and personal message is up for review when Pluto ditches its retrograde on Sunday. The influencer planet wants to show you off in your best light, Scorpio. Be brave. Be you.

Week beginning October 2

You’re a sign that leaves no stone unturned, no question unanswered, and no heart left untouched. You want to know when, what, how and why. So when Mercury ditches its retrograde and catches up to deep-thinking Pluto, it can only mean one thing; the solution you’ve been digging for is finally unearthed this week. Pay attention to the signs, especially towards the end of the week. You may have to read between the lines during a conversation with a friend or associate before you understand the whole picture (but you’re so good at that, Scorpio).

Week beginning September 25

La Luna permits you to enter hermit mode when the new Moon begins a fresh cycle in your relaxation sector. Venus quietly enters the same space on Thursday, making you introspective about love, life and everything in-between. This week, reflect on what’s essential and don’t succumb to peer group pressure or FOMO. Take all the time you need to sort through your thoughts without feeling like you have to answer to anyone.

Week beginning September 18

A little-known fact about you, dear Scorpio, is that you’re insanely loyal to your loved ones - especially your blood. There’s almost nothing you wouldn’t do to protect the people that hold your heart. So when a family member needs a helping hand, cheering up or a shoulder to cry on, you’re there with bells on. Jupiter and Saturn are right there by your side this week, adding heavenly support and a positive outcome. So all is well that ends well; unless you forget to take care of yourself too. Just don’t let that happen, okay?

Week beginning September 11

A weird and wonderful person crosses your path when the Sun makes an auspicious alignment with Uranus. Maybe you invite this unusual soul into your friendship group or connect in a professional setting. But one thing’s for sure, you’ll be inspired and uplifted. Ask yourself, why does this person’s presence move you? Could it be the exact trait you recognise in yourself but, for some reason, are hiding away? Consider that this new companion has come into your life to rouse a more authentic version of yourself.

Week beginning September 4

Professionals network like a boss this week, thanks to Venus’ influence. You’ll make at least one new career connection that’s instrumental in hitting your target. Give this person time to work their magic and remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day! Other Scorpios focus on female friendships. You’ll count your blessings for an uplifting bestie that shows up at the perfect moment. Or it becomes clear that a female friend is a thorn in your side and must be plucked out! In that case, reach for the tweezers without hesitation.

Week beginning August 28

There’s no doubting you’re a sexy sign, Scorpio. But intimacy (and your orgasm) surpasses expectation when Mars and Jupiter hook up on Thursday. For singles, this could mean connecting with someone on the same sexual page, with similar kinks and an identical erotic appetite. When you’re accepted for who you are and what turns you on, you’re more likely to relax and reach higher heights in the bedroom. Couples confess a fantasy, but whether you act on it or not demands a compromise.

Week beginning August 21

Saturday’s new Moon introduces you to a lovely new companion. But while this person is sweet and sincere, they are also quite critical. Hearing their judgemental remarks about a mutual connection may be unsettling at first, but that’s just because you’re not sure how to take this person’s harsh observations. Trust that they are not meant to be cruel or unkind; they simply reflect your new friend’s lofty standards. The real question is, do you agree? And if so, maybe it’s time to trade in an old friend for a new one.

Week beginning August 14

Mars makes sure nothing gets past you, which is handy if you’re negotiating a lucrative deal, lending cash to someone close or managing a financial matter. But when it comes to money, the hot-headed planet may also spit out a cutting remark, so aim to be authoritative minus any aggression, and you’ll hit the right tone. Don’t leave anything to chance; if you have the time and resources, oversee all major transactions with your own eyes. This week, it’s better to be shrewd, savvy and safe than sorry.

Week beginning August 7

Your relationship zone is still reeling from a triple cosmic hit between Mars, Uranus and the Moon’s Node. So, if you want to make a change, now’s the time! Finding your one true love, exiting or salvaging a relationship or uplevelling your existing connection are all possible. But before rushing into anything, take some time to figure out your ultimate heart’s desire. This week’s love stars have the potential to create confusion, which can be avoided if you act with careful consideration. Aim to think. Plan. And then take action.

Week beginning July 31

Chaos may be an accurate word to describe your household, but it’s not a destructive mess that’s on the agenda. Friday’s full Moon brings a family issue to fruition whereby something you’ve planned for ages finally happens. What transpires is likely to be less of a nuisance than you expected - hallelujah to that! Still, things around your home may feel a bit topsy turvy, but roll with it, and you might actually enjoy the ride. Family life is anything but predictable this week; it’s exciting with plenty of twists and turns.

Week beginning July 24

Jupiter’s retrograde smashes a health target when the robust planet revitalises your wellbeing sector. The only catch is that you have to slow down before propelling forwards. Progress is around the corner, but any retrograde demands going within before seeing results on the outside. And you can make headway quite simply by jotting down a step-by-step plan to hit your goals. Consider writing an inspiring wellness wish list and pop it up on your fridge, and use your imagination to think up novel ways to motivate yourself.

Week beginning July 17

A workmate or someone you’re dealing with professionally pushes your buttons this week. It’s exasperating! But guess what, Scorpio? You have the upper hand, even if you don’t realise it. This battle of wills is a power game to this person, nothing more. So the wisest thing you can do is not add fuel to their fire. It’s not giving in; it’s your winning strategy. Have you heard the saying that you catch more flies with honey? If you spread the honey on nice and thick, you’ll eventually get what you want. Do it through gritted teeth if you have to.

Week beginning July 10

Fallen into a dull, repetitive relationship routine? Then you’ll be over the Moon to know that Uranus, the shake-up and wake-up planet, turns things around for the better. But there’s a catch when positive change requires a different communication style. Be honest, Scorpio, are you the passive-aggressive type? Then you’ll need to be more open and honest about your expectations. And if you’re single, don’t wait to be asked. Make no apologies about taking matters into your own hands.

Week beginning July 3

Professional Scorpios learn a new trick of the trade as intellectual Mercury hungers for knowledge and education. Sure, you can use this planetary influence to improve your work performance, but what do you really want to learn about, Scorpio? Look into a course or an online program that teaches you something you’ve always wanted to know - choose a subject that fires up your soul! Talking about getting fired up, Mars blasts into your relationship sector on Tuesday, injecting a healthy dose of passion into your relationship zone. And singles ready to mingle won’t be disappointed.

Week beginning June 26

Exercise your artistic flair, Scorpio. Neptune wafts backwards through the zodiac, inspiring your creative juices to flow freely. You possess great depth, which can sometimes be emotionally overwhelming. Finding an outlet for those high-spirited feelings is super healthy for your body, mind and soul. So, let your imagination roam and colour outside the lines. Any planetary retrograde supports going back over old ground, so discovering an old hobby or past passion is also on the cards.

Week beginning June 19

Top-quality physical intimacy is crucial to you, and you’re a sexual spitfire, Scorpio. Still, Venus’ shift desires the type of romance born out of emotional and mental connection. This week, you want to be wined and dined by candlelight, showered with lovely compliments and most of all, feel understood. And this is all within reach whether you’re taken or single. The only catch is you may have to ask for what you want, which kind of takes the shine out of the moment. Instead of feeling deflated, see speaking up as being empowering.

Week beginning June 12

When Mars shakes up your daily routine, you have no choice but to go along with your planetary ruler’s wishes. And anyway, these twists and turns are for your long-term benefit, Scorpio. Nevertheless, you might feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you, but that’s just because you’re a bit of a control freak (let’s be honest). So, try to go with the flow because you’ll be surprised where the current takes you. You can always revert to your original set-up if something or someone new doesn’t work out.

Week beginning June 5

You could be thrust into the public eye this week, which isn’t really your thing. As the zodiac’s most private sign, you tend to stay on the sidelines or work your magic behind the scenes, but this week’s stars intend to push you out of your comfort zone. You may be asked to give a verbal presentation at work, speak at a party or event, or be the talk of the town amongst your local community. Do the best you can to rise to the occasion because even your reclusive nature deserves the spotlight now and then.

Week beginning May 29

Communication is the cornerstone of all your relationships. So, when talkative Mercury goes rogue, it affects the very foundations of your connection. But there’s good news; Mercury’s turnaround supports all your interactions this week, which is a relief because you have something important to say. Plan a conversation after Friday, when all the right words fall out of your mouth, and you’re less likely to misinterpret someone else’s intentions.

Week beginning May 22

Your home planet, Mars, steps into your health zone on Wednesday, inspiring you to upscale your wellness game. You’ll be gung-ho about improving your fitness this week, with aerobic activity topping your list. Got extra energy to burn? Shake it off because Mars finds it hard to sit still, and restricting the action planet can result in stress - Mars needs to move! Now isn’t the time to sit on your hands, Scorpio. If you have a plan, act on it. And if you feel anxious, exercise is the best remedy.

Week beginning May 15

You’re the shapeshifter of the zodiac, Scorpio. So, when your sign is activated by a transformational lunar eclipse, big changes are on the agenda. But these aren’t the type of turnarounds you can control, and the more you push and pull, the more you risk diverting the universe’s ultimate plan. So instead of forcing things, let go. Surrender. And then life will flow more smoothly for you. Looking back, you’ll realise that everything happened exactly as it should.

Week beginning May 8

Mercury retrogrades through your sex zone this week, so prepare for a wild ride, Scorpio! Singles get some red-hot action between the sheets, but Mercury wants you to pick one if you’re juggling lovers. Rather than simply satiating your physical needs, explore each other mentally, emotionally and spiritually to connect on a more intimate level. After a deep and meaningful conversation, couples experience an other-worldly climax. See, Mercury retrograde is good for some things!

Week beginning May 1

What you want and need from others is about to change as the new moon eclipse rocks your relationship zone on Sunday. This shift can be super positive, but it might make you a little uncomfortable at first, as with most change. Someone in your inner circle needs to be cast out, which is not something you’re keen to do. However, you’ll breathe easier in the long run, knowing you’re free from this person’s judgmental views and constant criticism. The question is not if this needs to be done but how. Naturally, aim to be kind and non-confrontational, but you must own your truth if pressed.

Week beginning April 24

Pluto’s backwards spin in your communication sector calls for deep thinking and introspection. So, if you’ve been glossing over a painful issue, it’s time to face facts. Emotions are nothing to be scared of, Scorpio; you, of all signs, know that. And this week’s stars exist to support you and facilitate healing. Rather than running away from any uncomfortable feelings, dive into them instead. Face your problems squarely, and you’re guaranteed to conquer them.

Week beginning April 17

Nurture your spiritual gifts, Scorpio. Yours is a sensitive sign with a powerful ability to tune into other people’s thoughts and feelings. Wednesday’s full Moon further sharpens your intuition, surprising even you. Don’t ignore an inkling that wants to reach out to someone close. Maybe it’s obvious they are going through a rough patch, but they could also be hiding their troubles out of embarrassment or shame. Simply ask how they are to open the flood gates to a healing discussion. There’s a valuable take-away for you during the conversation, too, Scorpio

Week beginning April 10

Romance looks different to everyone. For some Scorpios, it’s a slow and steady burn, where you get to know each other, inside and out. Once you’ve reached that point, finding your person feels like the ultimate love goal. You’ve arrived at soul mate status! Yet, for others, romance is pure chemistry. Either option is fine, and a combination of both is even better, provided you don’t mistake a toxic connection for twin flame love. Couples on solid ground get a boost in the romance department while out celebrating a special occasion.

Week beginning April 3

A compassionate planetary lineup supports a rocky relationship this weekend. Have you recently written off a romantic liaison, believing it to be dead and buried? Then there’s hope! However, if you’ve made peace with this person’s exit, then that’s the way things will stay. But for Scorpios lamenting the loss of a close connection, there’s an excellent chance for a revival. Hold back from reaching out until Friday, and then open a conversation with an olive branch.

Week beginning March 27

Burning the candle at both ends? Then Friday’s new Moon helps to restore your balance. But if you insist on pushing your physical boundaries, then it may be time to pay the piper. Still, you have time to turn things around. How? Protect your sleep. Don’t binge-watch your favourite Netflix series into the wee hours. Squeeze exercise into your day, amp up your hydration and cut back on sugary treats. Sound ridiculously simple? It is! But this week’s stars promise that a bit of discipline will bring back your glow.

Week beginning March 20

The showdown between bossy Mars and rebellious Uranus causes a clash of wills. The tension in the air will be palpable, and you’ll be tempted to give in just to ease the atmosphere - but don’t! Stand your ground, Scorpio. Surrendering now will only build a rod for your own back. It’s a much better idea to articulate your expectations and set firm boundaries from the get-go. Start by laying everything out on the table and be assertive about what you are willing to accept and what’s just not on.

Week beginning March 13

The Sun’s kiss with Pluto reminds you that obsession isn’t love. Singles seeking a healthy relationship are gently guided to manifest a connection based on similar interests, authenticity, and compatibility instead of erotic hormonal chemistry. Of course, physical attraction and tummy butterflies play an important role too, but they shouldn’t be the be-all-and-end-all. Loved up Scorpions embark on a romantic date night, and you may just catch yourself looking across the table and thanking your lucky stars.

Week beginning March 6

Family matters take top priority as Mars and Venus align in your home zone on Sunday. Make it your mission to spend as much quality time with your mother, daughter, sister or favourite aunt. Otherwise, you’ll wait over a year for this lovely planetary connection to create an opportunity such as this. So say yes when you’re asked to meet for a coffee, chat over lunch or sit on the floor and play when you should be at your desk. Life is busy, that’s true. But the memories you’ll create, thanks to this week’s stars, will be well worth sacrificing an hour or two out of your hectic schedule.

Week beginning February 27

Your sign exudes a quiet yet potent power, Scorpio. But on Thursday, when Mars embraces passion planet, Pluto, you’re destined to meet your match. For singles, this is fantastic news with a compatible attraction on the cards. At the same time, couples are surprised when their partner rejects an ultimatum or boundary that goes a bit too far. But instead of turning this prickly protest into a power struggle, impress your lover by showing them just how flexible and understanding you can be.

Week beginning February 20

Expect a mini awakening on Monday when the Moon slides into your sign. This realisation isn’t new to you; it’s simply played on your mind for a while but hasn’t seemed important enough to act on until now. But it’s no longer okay to dismiss your intuition. This week, La Luna urges you to listen to that nagging voice inside your head that’s telling you to look after number 1 – you! It’s little known that you’re an incredibly loyal sign, and it’s high time you put yourself front and centre, Scorpio. Listen to other people’s needs and wants but prioritise your own. Be a little bit selfish minus the guilt.

Week beginning February 13

This week’s stars see you giving your time – and an extra helping of TLC – to a child or a younger person. It could be that your own son, daughter, niece or nephew demands more attention or a few words of wisdom. Like most parents, uncles or aunts, you may have some concerns, but Le Solei brings reasons to celebrate in the form of an accolade, award or a school triumph, so there’s no need to worry. If a younger friend, lover or co-worker asks you for advice, you’ll say the right words at the right time.

Week beginning February 6

As the most private sign of the zodiac, you rarely blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. But this week, Mars gives you a raging case of foot-in-mouth disease if you’re not careful. Mind your words, Scorpio, to avoid spewing out an insensitive remark. This week, a careless comment made in jest may turn out to be anything but funny. And while it’s obvious you don’t mean any harm, you might as well avoid a potentially red-faced moment. Read this horoscope a little too late? Don’t stress. Apologise and move on.
