Scorpio Monthly Horoscope – June 2018

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:

June 2018 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until June 21st:

The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes.

You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.

From June 21st forward:

This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.

A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 13th: 

Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.

From June 13th forward: 

Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 12th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.

You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.

From June 12-29: 

Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.

You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

From June 29th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.

Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.

You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of work, daily activities and routines, and/or health. Events might conspire to slow you down in these areas, forcing you to reassess how you've been managing this part of your life. Frustrations with your daily routine can be part of the picture now. Energy levels may seem low. Mars is your co-ruler, so you may be dealing with issues of image, personal presentation, and physical appearance or health as well.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar fourth house during this period, household projects may slow down or stall. Repairs may need to be done, or circumstances are such that living conditions seem unstable or in need of review. Perhaps the enthusiasm that you have been building for work around the house is lessening. You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, or you feel that this position is no longer in your hands, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may get worked up about old problems or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now. Refocusing, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. It's time to review how you have been handling your assertiveness on the home front and with family.

Overview Horoscope:

June 2018 Scorpio Monthly Horoscope: June brings a strong push towards looking within for answers, dear Scorpio, as well as for the seeking out of deeper involvement in (or commitment to) a project, venture, or relationship. You're not interested in fluff at the moment as you pursue more meaningful or absorbing experiences with the Sun in your intimacy sector until the 21st and Mercury there until the 12th. As such, some endeavors are likely to fall by the wayside.

You can be giving a lot of thought to a private or hidden matter, or you may be moved to speak about something personal, particularly around the 4-5 when the Sun and Mercury join. This superior conjunction is a time for clearing the air. You might reach conclusions about a relationship or yourself, as you see a matter more clearly. It's a stellar time for bringing up a topic that typically is difficult to discuss because it's complicated, taboo, or sensitive.

Even so, Venus continues its transit of your solar ninth house until the 13th, and this encourages a more active or carefree expression of your feelings. You can have a stronger desire to learn, expand your knowledge and experiences, as well as to do different things. You could find it easier to attract who and what you want during this cycle. You're more inclined to make beneficial connections in places of learning or while venturing beyond your usual routine. You are looking for more unique and interesting activities and ideas, and you tend to see your relationships as learning experiences during this cycle. Mercury moves into this sector on the 12th and then the Sun on the 21st, effectively extending an adventurous theme. In fact, as June progresses, you are increasingly more focused on the future.

Nevertheless, there are two significant retrogrades in June. The first is not as impactful. Neptune turns retrograde on the 18th as it does each year for about five months. In the days surrounding this shift, keep in mind that there can be a temporary loss of faith in a creative project or romance. This disappointment will ultimately work in your favor if you allow the process to play out and get in touch with deeper needs and desires. People may be extra sensitive and could be reading situations poorly just for now. Take things easy and trust that ultimately you'll feel stronger for learning which dreams work for you and which may be undermining you!

The second retrograde involving Mars is more significant. For one, it's not as common, and for another, Mars is one of your planetary rulers. Mars will be retrograde for about two months -- from June 26th to August 27th. Even so, you're likely to feel some slowing down before the 26th. For the first seven weeks of the retrograde (until August 12th), Mars is retrograde in your sector of home and family. Tricky energy can be experienced with family or involving domestic affairs, and later on, with communications. Watch for passive-aggressive behavior. There may be a need for home repairs, and it's a good time for taking a good hard look at what you might do to organize your home life better and make it a happier place. Certain endeavors may not go as planned, and there may be a need for a "plan B." This may not the best time for beginning a long-term relationship or returning to an old one, but it's a fine time to look at things from a different perspective. Patience is a real virtue now.

Besides affecting the physical and mundane affairs surrounding family and home life, retrograde Mars can also stir up some buried emotional frustrations. Issues that may have been overlooked or that you thought had been resolved long ago can resurface now. Challenges mostly revolve around home, family, work, or health. Family tensions and possible home repairs cannot be escaped, but a change of scene from time to time can help your overall mood. Despite small inconveniences, you're on a path to new and improved home life and relations with family. This can take a few months, but the work you do now will be rewarded. This is a good time for dealing with buried anger and resentment, as well as for reviewing and fine-tuning projects around the home.

Venus moves into your career and reputation sector on the 13th, and the weeks ahead are suitable for public relations and appeal, or for a more relaxed, satisfying time relating with higher-ups and business associates. Your reputation can get a boost now.

A grand trine on the 19-20 can present wonderful opportunities. It can be a time of natural, strong confidence that is radiated to others, and also easy channels for communicating your ideas. Your perspective and sense of humor are appreciated and noticed. You do everything with creative flair. A romantic conversation or thoughts can figure strongly now.

Around the 21st, passions tend to run high, but satisfying them may not be straightforward. Try not to stir the pot and avoid confrontations until you know where you truly stand on an issue, as things can escalate quickly at this time. It can be challenging to be indifferent towards others, but it can be emotionally freeing to do so from time to time, as you can too easily get all riled up and this can interfere with success and happiness. Impatient or immature reactions can figure strongly now. Consider being kinder to yourself by looking the other way when it is appropriate to do so.

The last week of the month brings your needs for life experience, learning, and excitement to the fore. You may be looking for ways to add to your life experience through travel, learning, mingling with others, or various forms of adventure-seeking. The routine elements of your life seem to be more drab and dull in your mind's eye now. From the 27-28, a Full Moon occurs at the same time as the Sun opposes Saturn. Both events occur yearly but rarely happen at the same time. A responsibility, limitation, restriction, or rule can make itself known. If you've been procrastinating on paperwork, errands, and other daily duties, then it can come back to you at this time. A project may need some adjustments to fit the constraints of time and energy. The strong urge to move about freely and enjoy new experiences can be temporarily hampered by the need to catch up on your obligations. Or, fears of expansion or insecurities about your knowledge limit your choices now. Negative reviews or feedback might ultimately motivate you to tighten up your work or brush up on your skills. However, if there's no lesson in it, do your best to discard negativity.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:

June 2018 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.

This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 22nd: 

Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.

From June 22nd forward: 

Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until June 3rd:

Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.

At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.

From June 3-17: 

Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.

Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.

From June 17th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.

You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of work, daily activities and routines, and/or health. Events might conspire to slow you down in these areas, forcing you to reassess how you've been managing this part of your life. Frustrations with your daily routine can be part of the picture now. Energy levels may seem low. Mars is your co-ruler, so you may be dealing with issues of image, personal presentation, and physical appearance or health as well.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar third house during this date range, mental projects, courses, or studies could be less exciting or invigorating for the time being. Perhaps a project you've been working on and enthused about encounters some snags and you put it to the side or even feel the urge to abandon it altogether. Some of you could be quite preoccupied with problems in these areas. Challenges with self-expression, pushing/selling your ideas, or with neighbors and siblings may occur now. Social interactions can be a little strained now, as you may feel the need to hold back or there is a lack of usual spontaneity in your communications. There can be frustration with daily routines. It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans. Backtracking is a good idea. In fact, this is a strong time for making important edits of work already in progress.

Overview Horoscope:

June 2018 Scorpio Monthly Horoscope: June brings a strong push towards looking within for answers, dear Scorpio, as well as for the seeking out of deeper involvement in (or commitment to) a project, venture, or relationship.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

June 2018 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until June 10th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.

It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.

From June 10th forward:

The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.

This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until June 5th: 

Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others' motives for doing and saying what they do. It's a good time to feel supported by others, whether it's financially or emotionally. It's also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.

From June 5th forward: 

Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 8th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.

At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.

From the 8-23: 

Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.

Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.

From June 23rd forward: 

Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.

You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of work, daily activities and routines, and/or health. Events might conspire to slow you down in these areas, forcing you to reassess how you've been managing this part of your life. Frustrations with your daily routine can be part of the picture now. Energy levels may seem low. Mars is your co-ruler, so you may be dealing with issues of image, personal presentation, and physical appearance or health as well.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar third house during this date range, mental projects, courses, or studies could be less exciting or invigorating for the time being. Perhaps a project you've been working on and enthused about encounters some snags and you put it to the side or even feel the urge to abandon it altogether. Some of you could be quite preoccupied with problems in these areas. Challenges with self-expression, pushing/selling your ideas, or with neighbors and siblings may occur now. Social interactions can be a little strained now, as you may feel the need to hold back or there is a lack of usual spontaneity in your communications. There can be frustration with daily routines. It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans. Backtracking is a good idea. In fact, this is a strong time for making important edits of work already in progress.

Overview Horoscope:

June 2018 Scorpio Monthly Horoscope: June brings a strong push towards looking within for answers, dear Scorpio, as well as for the seeking out of deeper involvement in (or commitment to) a project, venture, or relationship. You're not interested in fluff at the moment as you pursue more meaningful or absorbing experiences with the Sun in your intimacy sector until the 21st and Mercury there until the 12th. As such, some endeavors are likely to fall by the wayside.

You can be giving a lot of thought to a private or hidden matter, or you may be moved to speak about something personal, particularly around the 4-5 when the Sun and Mercury join. This superior conjunction is a time for clearing the air. You might reach conclusions about a relationship or yourself, as you see a matter more clearly. It's a stellar time for bringing up a topic that typically is difficult to discuss because it's complicated, taboo, or sensitive.

Even so, Venus continues its transit of your solar ninth house until the 13th, and this encourages a more active or carefree expression of your feelings. You can have a stronger desire to learn, expand your knowledge and experiences, as well as to do different things. You could find it easier to attract who and what you want during this cycle. You're more inclined to make beneficial connections in places of learning or while venturing beyond your usual routine. You are looking for more unique and interesting activities and ideas, and you tend to see your relationships as learning experiences during this cycle. Mercury moves into this sector on the 12th and then the Sun on the 21st, effectively extending an adventurous theme. In fact, as June progresses, you are increasingly more focused on the future.

Nevertheless, there are two significant retrogrades in June. The first is not as impactful. Neptune turns retrograde on the 18th as it does each year for about five months. In the days surrounding this shift, keep in mind that there can be a temporary loss of faith in a creative project or romance. This disappointment will ultimately work in your favor if you allow the process to play out and get in touch with deeper needs and desires. People may be extra sensitive and could be reading situations poorly just for now. Take things easy and trust that ultimately you'll feel stronger for learning which dreams work for you and which may be undermining you!

The second retrograde involving Mars is more significant. For one, it's not as common, and for another, Mars is one of your planetary rulers. Mars will be retrograde for about two months -- from June 26th to August 27th. Even so, you're likely to feel some slowing down before the 26th. For the first seven weeks of the retrograde (until August 12th), Mars is retrograde in your sector of home and family. Tricky energy can be experienced with family or involving domestic affairs, and later on, with communications. Watch for passive-aggressive behavior. There may be a need for home repairs, and it's a good time for taking a good hard look at what you might do to organize your home life better and make it a happier place. Certain endeavors may not go as planned, and there may be a need for a "plan B." This may not the best time for beginning a long-term relationship or returning to an old one, but it's a fine time to look at things from a different perspective. Patience is a real virtue now.

Besides affecting the physical and mundane affairs surrounding family and home life, retrograde Mars can also stir up some buried emotional frustrations. Issues that may have been overlooked or that you thought had been resolved long ago can resurface now. Challenges mostly revolve around home, family, work, or health. Family tensions and possible home repairs cannot be escaped, but a change of scene from time to time can help your overall mood. Despite small inconveniences, you're on a path to new and improved home life and relations with family. This can take a few months, but the work you do now will be rewarded. This is a good time for dealing with buried anger and resentment, as well as for reviewing and fine-tuning projects around the home.

Venus moves into your career and reputation sector on the 13th, and the weeks ahead are suitable for public relations and appeal, or for a more relaxed, satisfying time relating with higher-ups and business associates. Your reputation can get a boost now.

A grand trine on the 19-20 can present wonderful opportunities. It can be a time of natural, strong confidence that is radiated to others, and also easy channels for communicating your ideas. Your perspective and sense of humor are appreciated and noticed. You do everything with creative flair. A romantic conversation or thoughts can figure strongly now.

Around the 21st, passions tend to run high, but satisfying them may not be straightforward. Try not to stir the pot and avoid confrontations until you know where you truly stand on an issue, as things can escalate quickly at this time. It can be challenging to be indifferent towards others, but it can be emotionally freeing to do so from time to time, as you can too easily get all riled up and this can interfere with success and happiness. Impatient or immature reactions can figure strongly now. Consider being kinder to yourself by looking the other way when it is appropriate to do so.

The last week of the month brings your needs for life experience, learning, and excitement to the fore. You may be looking for ways to add to your life experience through travel, learning, mingling with others, or various forms of adventure-seeking. The routine elements of your life seem to be more drab and dull in your mind's eye now. From the 27-28, a Full Moon occurs at the same time as the Sun opposes Saturn. Both events occur yearly but rarely happen at the same time. A responsibility, limitation, restriction, or rule can make itself known. If you've been procrastinating on paperwork, errands, and other daily duties, then it can come back to you at this time. A project may need some adjustments to fit the constraints of time and energy. The strong urge to move about freely and enjoy new experiences can be temporarily hampered by the need to catch up on your obligations. Or, fears of expansion or insecurities about your knowledge limit your choices now. Negative reviews or feedback might ultimately motivate you to tighten up your work or brush up on your skills. However, if there's no lesson in it, do your best to discard negativity.
