Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

June 2010

MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
June is a quiet month, a time for focus and evaluation. The Sun is in your internal eighth house (the Scorpio-ruled part of the zodiac), making you crave quality time and one-on-one connections. Your analytical skills are razor-sharp now, and you may need to go over work with a fine-toothed comb, making sure everything’s proceeding on course. On June 6th, expansive Jupiter moves into Aries, your sixth house of health, organization and critical thinking. Jupiter is here until September 8th, and very little will escape your notice during this cycle. It’s a great time to dive into a complex research project or make a healthy lifestyle change.

After the 21st, you dial down the intensity a few notches. The Sun enters Cancer, your worldly and broad-minded ninth house. You’re ready to re-engage and explore new horizons, perhaps even travel or start an independent venture. The June 26th lunar eclipse in your communication sector makes you particularly outspoken. Choose your words carefully, but do speak up. This has been building up all year, and it’s time to address the issue. Just do so with sensitivity to the other person’s rights. You could err on the side of critical or accusatory. Find a way to express your point without alienating or putting people on the defensive.

LOVE & ROMANCE:
This month, you’re of two minds. Part of you is open, excited and ready to engage, while another side is grappling with wariness and trust issues. Perhaps your hesitation is warranted—you sense that there’s more to the story than you’ve seen. Nothing wrong with taking your time, Scorpio. If you’re single, don’t be too quick to settle down. With Venus in your open-minded ninth house until June 15th, you’re also meeting fascinating people from all different walks of life. When it comes to suitors, why have a handful when you could have a land full? A vacation this month brings unexpected romance, or cements the bond with your partner. There’s nothing like getting out of your routines and comfort zone to reignite the spark.

Ready to get serious? At the June 12th Gemini new moon, intimate connections are highlighted. This moon could bring engagements, cohabitation even pregnancies. After June 15th, Venus moves into Leo, your tenth house of long-term commitments. You’re better able to wrap your mind around “happily ever after” in the second half of June. This month, you’re also inspired to bring more sensuality into your life. Bring sultriness your bedroom, your lingerie collection, all your surroundings. Add fabrics that caress your skin, ambient lighting and other little touches that make you tingle all day long. Introduce some erotic scenarios in the bedroom or try a pole-dancing class for sexy new moves.

MONEY & CAREER:
Work has been a hot area—bringing success and stress in equal measures—since last October. That’s when motivational Mars entered Leo, your tenth house of career, moving you from little league to semi-pro. With this ascent came huge new demands and responsibilities, and you haven’t had time for much more than navigating this steep learning curve. Mars can cause tension and power struggles, and you may have had clashes with management, authority figures or people working for you. It hasn’t been easy! However, the prestige or sense of leadership you’ve gained made it worth the effort for many Scorpios.

On June 8th, Mars moves into Virgo, your eleventh house of group activity, until July 29th. Finally, you can create a team that helps you pull some of the weight. Digital media projects, especially ones that connect communities or encourage social action, could heat up. With structured Saturn also in Virgo until July 22nd, it’s important that you surround yourself with the right players. You want experienced people with solid skills, bona fide expertise, and the right connections—not green-around-the-edges newbies who need you to explain everything to them.

Near the June 12th new moon in your wealth sector, your long-term finances are highlighted. You could buy or sell property, settle a legal matter or begin a debt repayment plan. Or, you may receive a chunk of money, perhaps an investment, a loan or seed funding for an entrepreneurial venture. If you’re not saving, begin to put a portion of your pay away. Even twenty dollars a week in an interest-building account will add up over time, and get you in the habit of saving, which is what’s most important.

HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
A healthy revolution that began late May takes hold. On June 6th, expansive Jupiter enters Aries, your sixth house of well-being and fitness. Your sign tends to be health-conscious anyhow, but perhaps you’ve gotten a little bored with your routine. This summer, branch out into new activities. Take a cooking class, or make like a Top Chef Masters contestant and enroll in culinary school (Jupiter rules higher education).

On June 26th, a Capricorn lunar eclipse joins forces with your ruler Pluto, transforming your communication and way of thinking. Your style of expressing yourself and viewing the world could undergo a radical shift. You could give up some way of thinking, or of presenting yourself as an all-knowing guru. It’s just an ego defense, Scorpio. Keeping up this front actually causes more stress than humbly admitting, “I don’t know.” The floodgates open from there.
