SCORPIO

Chart a fresh course

Let go of any need to control

Love takes a surprising twist

The barrier breaking new Moon in your 9^th promises momentum and forward progress this month. Travel may feature for some of you. As could the discovery of new opportunities and solutions just clamouring to be let in! Your mindset is peaceful yet expansive. Adventurous but grounded. It puts you in a prime position to make the most of what’s on offer. And yes, to try something you might have hesitated over or even refused in the past.

Take that burgeoning sense of exploration and apply it to something you know you want to explore or conquer. Do however watch for a small speed bump mid-month. This is when your resolve may get tested or doubts creep in. Ancient ruler Mars in your 7^th runs into unpredictable Uranus on the 15^th. While just days before Venus now in your 10^th opposes modern ruler Pluto in your 4^th. Others may act out or something halts that forward progress you’ve been enjoying from the start of the month. This can make you doubt your ability to do what you’ve set out to accomplish. Or else throw an emotional spanner in the works. Remember – you can’t control how others act. You can only control your own response to them.

You’re being asked to stay the course and hold your faith in yourself now. Keep in mind, transits through your 9^th are lucky and also protective. What initially looks like a set-back is revealed as a better option. You reach deep down into your source to try something you never would have otherwise – and are left with an outstanding result. What stands in the way of your soul evolution is cleared from your path. And you’re back on the open road to freedom once more. Mid-month asks you keep both your cool and an open mind.

We have a once-in-a-blue-moon event this July and that is a full ‘Blue’ Moon in your 3^rd on the 21^st. This is the second full Moon in this house in your chart in what is Cancer season. It’s another call to adventure or invitation to take something further, Scorpio. Did you refuse the first time? Think back to last month’s full Moon and what happened then. It could be a portal opens for the second time.

Approach invitations, conversations and solutions with the open-minded curiosity of a child. Above all, don’t dismiss anything out of hand. Ask questions. Delve deeper. ‘Question’ is derived from ‘quest’ – the journey of discovery. Answers give you the confidence you need to go further. Dialogue matters under this Blue Moon. As does not just the ability to talk but to listen to what is being said. Or left unsaid. Again, this may mean you drawing something out of someone by asking the right questions. Probe. Explore. Get your answers, Scorpio. And do beware of one-sided conversations (that date who only talks about themselves?), or deflection – someone changes the subject or suddenly needs to leave the room when you put them on the spot. Those are about more than words can say. And yes, these too ARE answers!

Once the Sun crosses into your 10^th from the 22^nd – you feel that once again you’re back in the driver’s seat when it comes to the direction your life is taking. The spotlight is going to be on you in the next month. And chances are this stems from something you initiated while the Sun and other planets were in your 9^th. That bold, flexible and open minded approach now pays off for you. And better still – others see you as the Real Deal. Yes, you can thank ruler Pluto and its opposition to the Sun on the 23^rd. You bring it on home, baby.

Your old ruler Mars has now joined Jupiter in your change sector. Which Mars rules. Your other key date this month is the 22^nd when Mars and Pluto align. Whatever you are seeking now – focus on ambition, career, recognition and attainment. That and just that. Worldly success. But what about the love, I hear you say?! Here’s the trick, Scorpio. It will be found on that path without you having to do anything. It will seek you out simply without any intervention from you when you pour your passion into something you wish to achieve. It’s the unlooked for bonus in your success package. I could say everyone loves a winner. And you’re on that streak this July.

In a nutshell: Both your rulers combine to bring you shifts and surprises this July. Consider if something catches you unawares that it is designed to free you. Focus on an area where you feel the need to succeed, brings you success in others – effortlessly.
