WEEK OF June 24 – 30, 2024
Whether you’re blue-check verified or prefer to brew your magic BTS, there’s no escaping the call of the social scene since last week’s Capricorn full moon, the first in a back-to-back pair activating your gregarious third house. But you can’t be all things to all people, Scorpio. (Nor would you try.) So as outgoing Mercury syncs up with discerning Saturn this Wednesday, June 26, turn your focus to activities that bring the bonus opportunity to connect with people who you find inspiring, enlivening…awakening. They may be artsy, bohemian, spiritual or into the same rare genre of music that you’re obsessed with. You’ll know you’ve found “your people” when your world feels bigger and more colorful in their presence. Whether online or IRL, make the process of finding them your treasure hunt for the week.
Friday’s quarter moon in Aries sends a gentle boost of motivation toward your healthy living goals—the ones you haven’t quite been able to set in motion since summer began. Or maybe you’ve created a program that’s SO intense you could struggle to keep it going for much longer. Quarter moons are about equilibrium so look for that middle ground between going lacto-ovo vegetarian versus dining on gastropub burgers with bacon and gruyere for every meal. Create a manageable plan and a structure that is reasonable. For example, you might select three fitness classes that you’ll attend weekly and just stick to those for a month. And as this moderating moon reminds you, healthy can still be pleasurable, Scorpio.
“Take it down a notch” isn’t something we’d ever suggest to you, o’ intense one. But as restrained Saturn shifts into reverse in Pisces and your passionate, flamboyant fifth house on Saturday, June 29, you may naturally lower the volume on your “live-out-loud” activities. Between now and November 15, you could become rather discreet with seductions, declarations of affection and actual PDAs. At work, prepare to deliver the goods on anything you announce or promote. Saturn is the timekeeper of the zodiac, and its M.O. is slow, steady and effective, meaning this would be the perfect WRONG time to rush anything to the finish line just to meet a random deadline. As they say, you don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression, so make it your business to show that you’re dependable and talented right out of the gate.
Saturn likes stability, but when it’s in reverse in your fifth house, you could hit a hurdle with a love interest. Don’t try to just muscle through it. Use this as an opportunity to reconnect to your own creativity and passions. Saturn’s gift is demonstrating how solid structures within a relationship—and mutual commitment—keep the sparks alive. Couples therapy might be a saving grace. Single Scorpios could tap the brakes on dating to recenter in your own power or worth, and possibly to REALLY heal a past trauma that keeps showing up like an unwelcome ghost.
The fifth house is your fertility zone, but during this retrograde, you may need to call upon that Saturnian patience if you’ve got bambinos on the brain. If that “kid” is a creative brainchild, use Saturn’s retrograde to develop your mission behind the scenes. If you need to strengthen an aspect of the mission, from PR to branding, step off the playground and enroll yourself in “kindergarten” with an expert mentor or coach.
