weekly scorpio

With all those planets in your sign this week, including the new Moon on Friday, your attraction quotient is very high, especially if you’re allowing yourself to feel more confidence than you’re used to. Your ruler, Pluto, also rules the new Moon and will soon connect with the Moon’s dharmic North Node, opening important doors that can take you places you didn’t even know were there. Prepare to go where you’ve never gone before and have faith that your are uniquely equipped for this journey. Neptune and Chiron go direct this week in your domestic sector, taking all the issues that have been confusing you there to the next level, where much more clarity and healing are possible. If you’re willing to be your highly empowered self, you can make huge strides this week.

Ask for your most heartfelt wish with a big smile.
