Keen to learn new skills or try your hand at something you’ve never attempted before? If you have grand plans, then they could be derailed by tensions and arguments concerning close ones and their feelings about your ambitious goals. The coming days may find you going head-to-head, but you could also compromise, and this might be the start of a more positive phase.

You might stumble upon what looks like your dream job or perfect opportunity. The vibes feel right, the excitement is real, but before you jump in, do some research. Neptune is in the mix and is great at creating illusions, so double-check the fine print and do your homework. Is it everything it promises to be? If it is, brilliant. If not, you’ll be glad you checked the finer details.

Today’s Lunation in your sector of relating might coincide with an encounter with someone who has a different approach to life that you find inspiring. They may help you to see visionary possibilities. Talking with them could plant the seed of a relationship that blossoms into something special. You might feel a natural loyalty to this person, without knowing why this is.

The Sun and Mars link to Pluto, which could shake up family and partnership dynamics and may affect your ambitions too. Try to be calm, as power struggles won’t help, but patience will. And the Venus/Saturn tie means romance might feel flat. Yet when it comes to business, you’re razor-sharp and can make things happen. The weekend New Moon could open doors for collaboration.

Take your talents seriously this month Scorpio, because if you do and really apply yourself, then others will better appreciate the qualities that you possess. The Full Moon of the 13th is complex however, and its clash with your traditional ruler of Mars, could tease into the open any issues that have been lurking out of sight. You may find yourself a lot more forthright in the second half of the month, but for single Scorpio’s who’d like to forge a meaningful involvement, the New Moon can increase your desire to interact and socialise.
