Horoscope:
Scorpio (October 23-November 22)
JUNE 2008
Look inward now, Scorpio. June begins with a focus on your Scorpio-ruled eighth house. The zodiac’s eighth house governs mysticism and psychology—as well as large chunks of money, property, joint ventures and real estate. A strange mix, but that’s the story of your life, isn’t it, Scorpio?
Until June 20, Mercury is retrograde (backward) in your eighth house, turning your attention to past matters. Do you owe a debt, or is money owed to you? Now is a good time to handle that. An old legal or real estate matter could need your attention as well.
Mercury also causes communication SNAFUs, so look through your bank and credit card statements with extra care. Are you being wrongly charged? Are you guarding properly against identity theft? This would be a good time to update passwords and even add some security measures to protect your valuable assets. If you haven’t received your tax refund, you could be pleased by what the government sends back this year. If you have some old valuables to sell on eBay, you could pocket some nice change. Don’t be afraid to let go of old possessions and start fresh now, Scorpio.
The New Moon on June 3 will help you make a fresh start in this area. It could be an opportune time to begin therapy or a healing practice. Turn inward or deepen your intimacy with the people closest to you. Choose where you’ll focus, rather than scattering your attention and energy.
This month, your intuitive abilities will be especially strong, even bordering on psychic. Dreamy Neptune is now retrograde (backward) in your feminine, receptive fourth house. You have a chance to resolve some nagging old issue you haven’t formerly been able to put your finger on. Neptune is like a radio tower, picking up signals that others may not catch. You could get important insights now, especially in the form of memories or dreams, so keep a journal by your bedside. Certain colors, textures, tastes or scents could also evoke visceral feelings that lead you to inner clarity. Meditation, yoga and energy work can all help.
Old family drama, especially with your mother or a female relative, could be stirred up now. Avoid guilt at all costs—you’ll be easily manipulated by it, so give yourself a good reality check and maintain boundaries.
Your ruling planet (we still think of it as one, no matter what astronomers say!) Pluto, has been retrograde since April. From June 15-November 27, Pluto backs into Sagittarius, ruler of your second house of money and self-worth. This will be Pluto’s final visit here during your lifetime.
Wherever Pluto comes knocking, transformation is nigh. Powerful Pluto’s force is like a deep, core-level revolution. If your attitude toward money is still on a shaky foundation—no matter how slight—Pluto comes in like a building inspector to find the cracks.
Scorpio, are you still attaching your self-worth to your paycheck or job? You take a lot of pride in your title, but right now, it may be as grand as you wish. Remember: you may simply be too “green” to have gained such credentials. Patience and endurance are crucial now. Many Scorpios made large changes in their careers over the past year, and there could still be dues to pay. Don’t let your ego or past achievements interfere with your current quest.
Perhaps you’re feeling a little unsure of yourself deep down, questioning your own legitimacy. Remember, people’s confidence in you will only be as great as your confidence in yourself. Have you separated your value as a person from what you do for a living? Right now, this will be necessary to keep your confidence buoyed.
