Scorpio Monthly Horoscope

Career, Success, Ambition, Achievement

I doubt very much the situation with your particular company, field, business, industry, profession is normally this heated or action-packed. This sequence of dates, below, will show you the stop-start nature of what is in store. November is extremely important, Scorpio, because what you begin now will hang around for far longer than usual. The maxim to choose your battles is very wise.

* November 2024: Mars 0 to 5 Leo
* December 2024: Mars 6 to 2 Leo (Backwards or Retrograde).
* January 2025: Mars 1 to 0 Leo (Backwards or Retrograde).
* February 2025: Mars vanishes from Leo
* March 2025: Mars vanishes from Leo
* April 2025: Mars 0-5 Leo (Retracing his steps)
* May 2025: Mars 5 to 20 Leo (Retracing his steps)
* June 2025: Mars 21 to 29 Leo (Finishing the cycle)

The Tenth House of your solar chart is about your rank, status, position, mission and ambition. Leo rules this and now Mars is going backwards in this sign, which suggests reversals, vanishing acts, stop-start progress and even cancellation with an original plan. It is rather like being Henry V going once more, once more, once more – wherever he is going. Mars is always about battering rams on one level or another, but you would be wise to have long-term tactics here allowing for retreat and then charge more than once.

Mars can show up as an old-school man, rather like a gladiator in the arena shoving his way forward or a member of the armed forces in the front line. If somebody like this emerges, or re-emerges, in your career, at university or with your unpaid work – be aware. This individual will go backwards and forwards and even drop off the scene at one point. That’s the astrology. You also have Neptune and Saturn going into your Sixth House of work, unpaid work and academia in 2025. So, there are long-term consequences of how you deal with him/her/them or this. Mars does occasionally show up as a woman pretending to be John Wayne but, in general, this is a male, or males, plural.

Next year, you will go into a completely different phase of your existence, taking a vacation from reality and a holiday from normality. This may be early retirement or a very particular kind of job. It is there partly as a consequence of the run-up which begins in November 2024. You may return to study, for example, and go into an Ivory Tower bubble. If ever there was a time to sit down with a notebook and plan some plans, it’s November. Just allow for the potential for reversals and also long pauses in the plan. Need I say that health may also be uppermost in your mind, if your natal chart agrees?

If you have anything in Capricorn in your natal chart, then the picture becomes even more personal and important. There is a sign-off in November and December involving people, organisations or situations which have had far too much control for far too long. Nobody would be surprised to see mergers, retirements, redundancies, resignations or even other kinds of departures dot the landscape.

Communication, Internet, Phone, Mind Over Matter

Talking about a sign-off, when we go back to your solar chart, it’s curtains for organisations (like Google or Facebook, for example, or The New York Times or X-Twitter) with any lingering control over your powers of communication, internet use, the phone, public speaking, writing, education and so on. In general, even beyond your actual mental processes, what we have here is a major question about the media for some of you. And, in other cases, it’s very much about being read or being heard on YouTube, email, Zoom and the rest.

As a Scorpio, total control is very important to you because it defines how you operate, particularly with financial, charity, business or property relationships. Yet, since 2008, you’ve never had it because of the peculiar sequence of transits in Capricorn, which rules your Third House of writing, public speaking, private correspondence, the telephone and the rest.

You are now on the downhill slope and will see progress in two stages. The first sign-off is in November and the second up until December 7th. There are issues here about becoming empowered online and that comes down to your willpower. Also, about control (again online), and that comes down to self-control. There will need to be a compromise here, but you’ll successfully make it. A new landscape will open up for you in 2025.

Scorpio, sometimes the issue is not Facebook on this transit, nor is it media outlets which ignore you, undermine you or try to belittle you. (The word ‘belittle’ being characteristic of Pluto, the dwarf planet, locked in combat with the other dwarf planet, Ceres). No, you may have been dealing with issues affecting your hearing, eyesight, voice or hands. Perhaps your ability to remember or process information. This is Pluto in the Third House, writ large. As he disappears for another 248 years, so does a very long stretch of challenge for you.

Do you have Gemini factors in your natal chart? Double the message. You are in a terrific cycle for problem-solving and redemption. In fact, the best is yet to come for you online, behind a microphone or a lectern, with results rewarding you by June 2025 at the very latest.
