Until June 9th, there is a wonderful, refreshing focus on your private world or intimate life – a possible deepening of a relationship, or an increased understanding of your inner workings–a boost in your relationship with yourself!

Your intimate life continues to enlarge and expand, bringing you more joy and new discoveries during this period that lasts just over a year.

This influence occurs from May 25th, 2024, to June 9th, 2025. In other words, it’s already under way as you begin the year 2025. You’re learning to embrace inner change to feel more empowered during this cycle. There are better chances to find support, financial and/or emotional, but you should be wary of living on credit and borrowing too heavily from the future.

It’s a time to grab opportunities that help you to feel empowered and on top of your life. Conversations and musings are deep and lead to fruitful discoveries. Sexuality is richer. There can be benefits and support coming your way through or from others, whether it’s about a refund, an easier time acquiring loans or mortgages, an increase in a partner’s income, or you inherit something valuable.

Combining your resources, talents, or money with a partner can improve your financial outlook. You might also benefit from managing others’ resources and talents without the “teaming up” part–it all depends on your current circumstances.

These matters can relate to your money, things, natural talents, self-worth, or valuables since Jupiter rules these matters in your solar chart. There may be a metamorphosis pertaining to your money or personal possessions or your attitude toward these things. For some, it’s about a significant investment. Combining your resources with the assets of someone else could figure strongly.

Potential negatives: Taking on too much debt or relying too heavily on others for support. Be wise when/if lending and borrowing.

Otherwise, it’s a strong period for opening yourself up to others and for feeling more confident about your emotional depths. This is a period when you can quite successfully purge yourself of some of your inner demons, guilt, and buried psychological problems. It might also be a significant period for sexual discovery and depth.

While there can be some need to avoid going overboard in some areas, it’s a potent period for psychological growth.

In April and early May, the challenges of this theme are likely to be more prominent. The desire to express yourself more creatively or romantically and freely can be strong, and sometimes, it competes with this theme of going all in on more intimate or meaningful, demanding pursuits. You may be torn between wanting more depth or more lightness from a relationship. As well, family matters can sometimes demand so much attention from you that you are frustrated that you don’t have the time and attention you want for your special pursuits.

Fortunately, opportunities to research, analyze, and learn methods to improve your life emerge in May, especially. You’re in great shape for making changes to your current lifestyle that will benefit you for years to come. You enjoy a greater ability to make plans, mainly related to health, diet, and work, which boosts you not only physically, but also emotionally. Improvements in your routines, habits, and everyday life can enhance your intimate life or feelings of personal empowerment.

From June 9th onward, a new theme emerges in your life, and it’s a wonderfully refreshing one!

You feel more optimistic and confident about managing your life in this trend that lasts from June 9th, 2025, until June 30th, 2026. You seek to live life more fully!

During this timeframe, your belief systems, learning experiences, and hunger for adventure begin to develop, grow, and expand. You feel more courageous and spirited as you sense that there is more “out there” for you to learn and take in. This transit is a happy one, although it can be subtle since it runs so smoothly. We may not always notice when things are purring along well.

However, at this time in your life, you’re less likely to sweat the small stuff. You see the broader perspective on life, and you generally feel supported so that more minor inconveniences don’t stress you out quite as quickly.

Your positive outlook is notable during this cycle. It’s wise to aim to learn as much as you can now in preparation for the next cycle, running from June 2026 to July 2027, that will put your career on center stage. You’ll want to be ready for that opportunity period.

Scorpio

Your views on life in a broad sense are changing, growing, and maturing. Connections with faraway cultures, people, or a broader knowledge base can open up opportunities to grow personally. Teaching and sharing knowledge can be in strong focus. It’s a good–perhaps even ideal– time for publishing, writing, and media.

You might consider fine-tuning your talents and skills with higher education or experience during this cycle.

New learning experiences and “life” experiences (adventures, travel, new activities, contacts with others of a vastly different culture than yours, and so forth) are likely to emerge.

During this period, you might have the opportunity to reach a broader audience. You might learn a new language or take on other exciting studies.

Communicating with people faraway could be in focus. You might publish your ideas or take a stronger or special interest in writing and sharing. Learning a foreign language could come more easily for you during this period. You can feel particularly inspired to grow, improve, explore, discover, and move outside of your comfort zone, and improving your bottom line or relationship with money can be integral to this. It’s an excellent time to feel more motivated. People and experiences outside of your norm can more deeply affect or inspire you.

You’re likely to enjoy opportunities to expand your experiences and impress others. Education can be transformative now, leading to meaningful opportunities. Picking up new interests and expanding your knowledge can profoundly impact your sense of stability, self-worth, and perhaps even your money situation and relationship with your material things.

You could be putting more money into educational, spiritual, or travel pursuits, or there can be some import-export focus in your business right now.

This is also an excellent period for positive dealings with in-laws! You might improve relationships with legal, educational, or religious figures in your life. You might consider fine-tuning your natural talents and skills with higher education or experience during this cycle.

In June, October, and December, there can be challenges, especially if you’ve been over-controlling your work, routine, and schedule or if these things have become more demanding. You crave more time and energy to spontaneously explore the world around you, make contact with others, and expand your mind. However, you need to find a balance so that you can work and get your life into order, including your health, as disorder or too much on your plate might have prevented you from enjoying more spontaneous activities.

There can be disagreements about beliefs and opinions for some of you, issues with the need to update skills or knowledge, or perhaps a struggle with faith in what you’re doing. It’s important to look for ways to cut back and simplify your life in key ways now. Duties and responsibilities tend to keep you rooted for now, but there are always workarounds if you look for them. Aim to seek a balance between your attention to routine and responsibility with your desire for discovery and exploration.

Fortunately, in late August and early September especially, you could be in the position to inspire others through what you create. You’re working on improving and embracing your self-expressive, creative side, which helps boost you all around. You might reach a broader audience, and the feedback feeds the flames of your own inspiration. Communication and transportation issues can also improve during this period. You could be getting more attention or recognition or simply a stronger feeling of empowerment regarding your creative endeavors. Instead, you could be welcoming more leisure and entertainment time in your life, which improves your optimism and boosts your spirit.

It’s a good time for new creative or educational pursuits and projects. Romantic connections can be significant now. You might connect with people or information supporting your creative expression, love, personal fulfillment and enjoyment, education, and spirit.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:

Your Scorpio 2025 Horoscope reveals areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away from itself.

Self-Expression & Joy
Romance & Leisure
Work & Health

Until May 24th and from September 1st onward, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are creativity, dating and romance, pleasure, children, hobbies, and creative pastimes. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life, as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are suitable will endure and strengthen.

This influence runs from March 2023 until 2025/2026. This year, this theme is on its way out, but it’s here for much of 2025.

You’re likely to feel this transit most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Scorpio. This year, it will influence those Scorpios born from approximately November 6th onward and with a Scorpio Ascendant of 14-30 degrees the most. Those born earlier have moved beyond the strongest phase.

Tests can come to your romantic life during this cycle. For single Scorpios, there can be some reluctance to enter into light-hearted romantic relationships. If you do go forward, you do so cautiously, and you are attracted to more mature or stable people during this cycle. Because you are more discriminating now, the pickings might be (or appear to be) slim.

Those dating might sometimes feel lonely, as it can be hard to find what you are looking for now. An existing romance may face tests, but strong ones strengthen further. Those Scorpios who are in committed partnerships could find the romantic or fun element of the relationship becomes a vital area of focus during this cycle, for better or worse. Keeping this aspect of your partnership alive requires work. For example, a romantic partner could feel like a “heavy” at this time, and you might feel restricted in terms of making acquaintances and enjoying other people’s company.

For those single and looking, be careful not to project a negative attitude without realizing it, as this can intimidate some. Those of you who are parents could feel the weight of responsibilities towards children during this cycle. They may require more attention now, although this can ultimately be rewarding.

However, for many others, this is a time when a relationship stabilizes, and it feels great. In fact, this can be a generally more stable or steady time in your life, which can be exactly what you need at the moment.

Creatively speaking, you are a little more serious in your approach. You might get serious about a hobby, or you might discover there’s less time for creative pursuits, pastimes, amusements, and entertainment. Your studies or projects and personal interests can involve more show, drama, creativity, and entertainment value. Romance and studying or communicating can tie together in some significant way. Some of you could be working hard on–and putting a lot of effort into–creative hobbies or pastimes.

You can be filled with desire–or circumstances create a need–for more structure in all or any of these areas of life, including children, romance, creativity, and recreation.

This can be a truly wonderful time for feeling balanced and steady. Firming up areas of your life that have become wasteful can benefit you in many ways. It’s a generally good time for realizing a dream or goal, particularly along creative lines. The last time a similar theme occurred was from 1993 to 1996.

Especially in January, circumstances challenge your need to simplify and structure your life. Attention to your inner world, family, and home life can seem to clash with this mission. A minor setback, obstacle, or stubbornness can pause your plans. However, with some slight adjustments, you’ll be back on track quickly.

Especially in April, your relationship goals may very well inspire you to better yourself. You’re committed to making the most of your talents, and enjoying more self-discipline reflects well on you and your relationships as you feel stronger, more fulfilled, and increasingly more “whole.” In truth, you seem to be at your happiest when you’re feeling better organized and disciplined, and this confidence indirectly improves your relationships. It’s an excellent period for attending to both the practical and spontaneous sides of your connections. Instead, diverse relationship needs or even relationship interruptions can inspire you to learn a new skill, monetize a hobby, or structure your leisure time. It’s possible, instead, that structuring your creative efforts, hobbies, or recreational or romantic pursuits can boost a relationship.

Negotiations can be successful, and establishing reasonable boundaries in relationships works well, as long as you also pay attention to the need for some freedom and randomness. You might discover very constructive channels for your creativity.

Those of you who have been deliberating over a relationship matter might be inclined to seal the deal, close a deal, or to make a commitment. A child can receive an award or there can be an event or conversation that strengthens your bond. This might also be a time for seeing someone in a more realistic light, and this may be a child, a lover, or a friend. If you allow yourself to be realistic about what a person can or cannot do, feels or does not feel, then you can ultimately put more faith and trust in that person. Loyalty and reliability are qualities that are most important to express at this time.

From May 24th to September 1st, areas of special attention, restrictions, discipline, and shaping up include work, health, and routines.

It’s a time to adopt a “back to basics” approach to work, health, daily routines, employees, pets, and habits. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life, as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are suitable will endure and strengthen.

During this period, you experience the beginnings of a new and upcoming cycle that will ultimately stick with you until April 2028.

You’re likely to feel this transit most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Scorpio. This year, in 2025, it will influence those Scorpios born from approximately October 22nd to 24th and with a Scorpio Ascendant of 0-2 degrees the most. Those born later in the sign of Scorpio will experience the strongest phase in later years.

Tests can come to work and working relationships during this cycle. Responsibilities in your daily life can weigh heavily – they appear magnified! Be sure you are attending to your duties and not letting them pile up. Some of you might experience some form of loss or scandal on the work front or possibly some heavy-handed activity and powerplays with co-workers. However, this is only in extreme cases.

For those unhappy with your job or out of work, you are not likely to jump to grab just any position that comes along now. You want something mature, long-term, and reflective of your values. However, because you are more discriminating now, the pickings might seem slim. It’s also possible that the pickings are slim, in general, regardless of your perception!

The monotonous part of your work can seem harder, and it makes sense to restructure enough to make it work for you. Avoid the inclination to see flaws, complain, and leave it at that. Instead, take it upon yourself to make whatever adjustments you can to improve your working conditions. The rewards may be slow to transpire, but they’re great when they come! This can be true of daily routines or chores, not just working conditions. Health matters might be a little more problematic than usual. Even so, these are likely to be minor problems that can be fixed with extra attention. Essentially, this transit gives you a kick in the pants to get your self-care programs into good shape!

While our work may sometimes feel too routine or boring, it can also give us a strong feeling of purpose. We want to be needed; we want to help and support others and do our share. If you’ve been overdoing a supportive role, or if you’ve been scattering your energies and haven’t truly noted just how much you do, then Saturn here will encourage you to tidy up. In the end, you can, in fact, feel more joyful about the services you provide and the support you give after taking a realistic look at these things and making the necessary adjustments.

Seek ways to balance your activities and responsibilities at this time. This is also an excellent period for simplifying and structuring your life, starting with your daily routines. You can be quite determined to make things work, and you’re especially capable. Disciplined efforts to advance can pay off.

The last time Saturn moved through this area of your solar chart was from April 1996 to June 1998 and October 1998 to February 1999.

This can be a year in which you’re exceptionally determined and goal-oriented in your work or with your daily routines, chores, and tasks. Getting these things in order can benefit you greatly. This mission can also help you communicate and connect in better ways.

There can certainly be times when your desire to enjoy your personal interests and communications can conflict with your need to structure your daily affairs, especially in June. While you’re likely to do battle with different goals and conditions, a comfortable balance is within reach. Duties and responsibilities tend to keep you busy for now, but there are always workarounds if you look for them.

The changes you make now go deep and can benefit you for years to come. Circumstances occurring now are clearing the way for more capability in work, health, chores, and routines, although there may be some sobering moments to deal with in the process. Good energy for showing your solid, responsible, and valuable side is with you and can benefit you socially and personally.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed: One-to-One Relationships

Your 2025 Scorpio Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.

Partnerships
Agreements & Negotiations
Contracts
Intimacy
Debt & Support

Until July 7th and from November 7th onward, you’re part of a trend, lasting until April 2026, in which partnerships and relationships with others can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting.

This influence is transitioning out of this area of your solar chart in 2025 and 2026. However, it continues for a good part of 2025 (until July 7th and after November 7th).

This may mean you’re more attracted to people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric or unstable as close partners during this period, or you attract these types of people into your experience.

You are learning about giving freedom to others, and this isn’t always easy. Trying to force convention or tradition on partnerships will be a lesson in frustration during this period. Some of you might enter into a new partnership quickly.

This long-term trend will leave you for good in April 2026 (it began in 2018/9). There’s a strong connection between your sector of home and family and your sector of partnership and finding a balance.

There can certainly be times when an unreliable or erratic theme with one-to-one relationships can disrupt other life departments. Indeed, an unpredictable theme in relationships can compete with or disrupt other life department goals. However, you seem more capable of making the most of the positive side of these relationship themes in 2025 with this theme on its way out and in mostly great shape. Particularly in April, May, and November, as you open your mind to new ways of interacting and connecting, new worlds open to you. It’s a powerful time for romance. creativity, and interacting in inspired ways.

From July 7th to November 7th, a new long-term theme emerges. While it won’t be with you consistently until April 2026 forward, you’re getting a preview now.

With this long-term cycle, your intimate world and shared resources can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. Your private life and support systems from others are stirring, awakening, and opening.

These areas of life can be the wildcard area in your world, but also highly innovative! You can become far more experimental regarding opening yourself up on sexual and intimate levels, or there can be a marked decrease in interest as you explore different areas of your life more fully, depending on your current circumstances. You do need to watch for over-confidence with others who might squander your shared resources, however.

Now is a time for learning a lesson in detachment during this cycle – sudden changes in the support you receive from others or outside sources can force you to become more independent financially, for example.

Prepare yourself for fluctuations by settling as many debts as you can and by working on boosting your personal income. Some Scorpios could free themselves from an attachment that at one time weighed them down too heavily.

This can also be a highly creative time for your home life. The important thing with this transit is opening up to alternative, new, progressive, or non-traditional ways of doing things without throwing practical considerations out. It’s a period when your relationship with your family or domestic world transforms and evolves.

In 2025, August brings the more appealing and possibly rewarding themes of this transit. The major key to success is to be open-minded and to entertain forward-looking, progressive feelings and ideas about how you do your work, routines, and health and wellness pursuits. At the same time, keep your feet on the ground. New insights into old problems can be exciting and liberating.

Developments in the financial or emotional support you receive, whether it’s through loans, the resources of a partner, or other types of help, push you forward. You might suddenly find yourself in or out of a situation of sharing or pooling your resources with a partner. Alternatively, this can be a time of sudden insights and opportunities for emotional renewal or healing that give you a sense of power and self-mastery.

Your Rulers

Pluto is your modern planetary ruler, and Mars is your ancient ruler. Pluto has fully moved out of the sign of Capricorn and into Aquarius, and you, too, have essentially completed that personality transition. You’re becoming less guarded with what you say, for example.

Mars is retrograde this year until February 23rd, 2025. It’s important that, during this period, you get the rest you need and that you avoid pushing yourself or your personal plans and ventures ahead. Observe, reflect, and be as patient as you can.

Note, too, that there’s a post-retrograde shadow period in which it’s best not to push your affairs forward too quickly–give things time to shift and normalize. This shadow phase occurs until May 2nd.

While Mars is retrograde until February 23rd, it’s best to focus on reorientation and building up resources and energy.

While Mars is out of bounds, it’s better not to push the envelope. It’s a time when it can be all too easy to act out of character, not always favorably. Note that Mars is out of bounds in 2025 as follows: until April 7th (it began on December 30th, 2024) and then from November 27th onward.

Mars gets extra support on January 11-12 (although Rx), January 25 (although Rx), April 4 (although OOB), April 10-11, June 25-26, August 14, October 19-20, October 27-29, and November 3.

*It’s important to note that birthdates for Sun signs are always approximate since the starting date and time varies a bit every single year. If you were born on one of these cutoff dates (commonly known as a “cusp”), you can get a definitive answer using a Sun Sign Calculator. You can also write reports@cafeastrology.com with your birth information and we can let you know your true Sun sign if you were born on or beside the approximate date range given for any sign of the zodiac.

**If you don’t know your Ascendant and you DO know your birth time, you can easily find out your “rising sign” (Ascendant) with an Ascendant calculator, such as our What’s My Ascendant?, but do note that it cannot be determined for unknown birth times. This calculator is excellent for birthdates from 1970 forward since time zone changes were well-documented during this period. If you were born before 1970, it’s better to find your Ascendant and other planetary positions in our Free Report section or at Astrodienst if a historical time zone issue is in question. It’s also wise to double-check your info as explained in that section.
