You seem to have completed a rite of passage of some kind, and emerged with greater self-awareness, and more of your innate power at your disposal. Whatever you set your sights on should be within your ability to achieve, but an element of community engagement is indicated. You have something to share that others need; friendships may have languished that you’ll do well to rekindle. Balancing your fierce independence with social involvement will call for discrimination, sensitivity and discernment, but worth the effort.

Do you ever feel like your Scorpio Sun, rising sign or Moon gets a bad rap from astrologers? Eric Francis understands the potential held in your depths — and can walk you through how the planet Uranus in your relationship zone might be stirring things up. Order your 2019-20 Scorpio Astrology Studio reading to move past the stereotypes, and meet your life at full strength.

Written in the Planets

Since Mercury is still getting up to speed, and with the Sun in the final degree of Scorpio prior to entering Sagittarius tomorrow, things may continue to feel somewhat edgy. Especially since Mercury is under the influence of Mars, now also in Scorpio. Mars is fierce in its own sign, and moving into opposition with Uranus. Mars opposing Uranus is a volatile face-off that can trigger impatience, resentment and impulsive rebellion. This high-octane aspect won’t be exact until Sunday, but the energy is palpable and will build in intensity.

The potential up-side to Mars opposite Uranus in Taurus is the impetus to shake up long-standing fixed patterns that have impeded progress. To reap those rewards, proceed with deliberation and avoid unnecessary risks. Careful attention and mindfulness are always advised during a Mercury storm phase, and this week calls for particular awareness. Caution in any potentially hazardous activities and sensitivity in relating to others are called for. Take as relaxed an approach to the day as possible and strive to make good use of your time. The sense of satisfaction will help wind down tension.

Also, continue to keep your ears peeled, and be careful of jumping to conclusions until you’re sure you have all the relevant information. It could be all too easy today to form an opinion that doesn’t take into account all the facts.

In 2020 we have not one but two conjunctions that mark the turn of a generation, and of an era in history. On Jan. 12, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn form their once per 33-year conjunction. Then on Dec. 21. 2020, Jupiter and Saturn, both now in Aquarius, form a conjunction in the first degree of that sign. Read more here…

Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Thursday, Nov. 21, 2019

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Virgo weekly for August 28, 2009.

Financial issues come into focus now: you’ve reached that critical point where you know the only solution is going to come from applying some serious focus to the question. Think like a scientist, which means methodically. Don’t worry about solving all your problems at once — you’re approaching the time when you finally develop the long-anticipated permanent solution. Consider the following four to five weeks as an experiment in discovering something vital: what is and is not important to you, in this latest incarnation of your life. You thought you knew, but I don’t suggest you assume anything; your priorities have changed, owing to the full-strength maturing process you’ve endured the past couple of years. Some days this has been as much fun as having your leg in a cast, but it’s about to come off.

Self-discoveries you make this year could be game-changing, and fill in some missing pieces on a project you’ve had in mind, or help you hone long-term goals. You’re entering a high-energy phase, and steps taken now to further your interests may have far-reaching effects. Self-expression is highlighted: writing or educational prospects can bring a fulfilling sense of achievement. Do your own thing as much as possible, but give others their due. Respect and sensitivity with partners goes a long way.

Mercury stations direct today at 2:12 pm EST in Scorpio. As ever, during the few days around the station (known as Mercury storm, when its apparent speed is slowest), things could still be a little awkward and stilted. Mercury storm has this quality because reversing course, figuratively or literally, takes a good deal of effort, especially if there’s momentum involved. Think of a large ship switching its engines from reverse to forward thrust, churning up the water, and you have an excellent image for how your mind (and the minds of others) may be feeling.

The Moon today continues its journey through Virgo, which potentially adds to the tension, and could result in frayed nerves or tempers. It’ll help if you avoid getting into situations where you know you could be provoked. Consider alternative ways in which you might expend some energy — preferably creative or fun.

When you encounter others over the next few days, listen carefully and observe in detail what is being said and what may be unsaid, felt or implied. Don’t make assumptions or act on guesses; just gather the information and offer a non-judgmental presence.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Gemini weekly for November 15, 2013.

Mercury has finally let itself loose and is now moving in direct motion in Scorpio. This may come with the slow unraveling of certain problems, hang-ups and emotional stiffness. However, even as these circumstances work themselves out, you need to pay attention to what is bubbling up from the deeper levels of your being. I know you would rather take the opportunity to feel better and move on, though I suggest that instead you feel better and go deeper. Work with the idea that every effect has a cause — and you’ve just experienced some unusually powerful effects. That suggests that there are some equally powerful causes working themselves through you and out to the surface. Rather than being a passive player, go toward the source of the energy and discover what is there. You’re likely to be surprised — it’s not what you were thinking.

After a period of lying low, you’re finally ready to emerge, take charge and put yourself out there. You can accomplish a tremendous amount this year, and make quite an impression on those you work with. Just don’t be so assertive that you run others over. Take time to consider what you want to express, and keep your sensitivity radar tuned to the environment. Some kind of higher wisdom is trying to get through, so pay attention. What you receive can feed your soul, widen your mind and strengthen your sense of security.

Mars finally entering its own sign today will no doubt relieve some of the edginess that has dogged the past few days. A spring has been uncoiled, and if the world has seemed a little unreal recently things will now feel like they make much more sense.

The last quarter Moon also takes place later today, at 4:11 pm ET (21:11 UTC). Quarter Moon phases, when the Moon and Sun are in a square aspect, tend to signify a phase of action. You may be spurred to move forward on matters that have lain dormant or appeared somewhat impassable. However, it’s worth holding back a little on the momentum until Mercury has had a chance to switch directions, since the station direct almost always comes with a revelation of some kind.

Jupiter catching up to the Galactic Core may bring a revelation of a different nature. This rare conjunction in Jupiter’s own sign could denote a turning point, or new ideas emerging, in terms of spiritual orientation — like a compass enabling you to make a steering correction. With the Galactic Core, though, you need to make sure you keep records as your understanding changes, since the information obtained through this point has a way of disappearing into the ethers.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Cancer weekly for February 8, 2013.

There are those days when we seem to live in a world of the self-centered and superficial. It’s frustrating if you’re one of those people who practices self-awareness, because a little goes a long way, though it comes at a cost. And what cost would that be? Well, self-awareness is the antidote for hypocrisy, and not being a hypocrite puts one at a voluntary disadvantage. Anyway, for the moment, you will be encountering some people who cannot see past their own self-interest, and it will help immensely if you recognize them for who they are. You should have the information you need to sort this out fairly quickly after you meet someone. You then will have the option to forget what you discovered, or put the information to work. If someone is not interested in anyone or anything besides themselves, as evidenced primarily by their actions, then you cannot logically expect them to be of any help to you. This is not an accident; it’s a way of life, and I’m here to tell you that you have a different agenda.

Whether you realize it or not, you’ve retrieved a great deal of personal power that has been held hostage in the past. This is a year to draw those curtains fully aside once and for all, and put the finishing touches on integrating emotional material that’s come to light. You’re on the precipice of a series of breakthroughs that will enable you to express your will in the world like never before. Pay attention to what triggers frustration, and use that self-knowledge to hone your vision of what you really, really want.

A busy and turbulent astrological week ahead kicks off today with Mars in the last degree of Libra, an inherently tense and edgy placement. The final degrees of a sign are considered ‘critical,’ and planets there can inspire a sense of urgency. This could go double for Mars, which expresses ego drives and the action we must take to fulfill them. The warrior of the planetary pantheon has been debilitated in Libra; it’s a scratchy combination where martial energies must work within diplomatic channels, instead of acting with direct force. As the ruler of the Scorpio Sun and Mercury, this might have translated into feeling frustrated and more hampered in your efforts than usual, even and especially given Mercury’s retrograde.

Mars enters its feminine home sign of Scorpio overnight (2:40 am Tuesday, EST), setting the stage for Mercury’s station direct on Wednesday. That means we’re in the Mercury storm, and usual precautions for extra attentiveness are in order. In Scorpio, the swirling and potentially confusing conditions as Mercury approaches its apparent change of direction might register with a heavy sense of emotional momentum, lurking beneath the surface.

Mars in Scorpio is very strong; it’s the brilliant strategist with a black belt who never loses sight of the target. Mars functions to fulfill desire, and Scorpio is the sign of instinctual, emotional needs. Woven into the Scorpio signature is the desire for truth, to get down to the nitty-gritty core of mystery and experience that power. What desires are you most passionate to fulfill? What strategies can you imagine that will help you do so? Forward motion resumes this week, with plenty of mojo to help you seek and find.
