WEEK OF September 9 – 15, 2024

Step away from the computer—or your TikTok recording studio or those client reports—and do a few refreshing laps in the social networking pool! This Monday, September 9, messenger Mercury pays its second visit of the summer to Virgo and your collaborative eleventh house, after a three-week retrograde that might have had you correcting and revising work projects that didn’t quite hit their mark. Now that the cosmic connector is back in your zone of tech and teamwork, you can pick up where you left off with friends, colleagues and cohorts in special-interest groups—or start fresh with something intriguing. Between now and September 26, you could feel guided to reach out to an organization or accept an invitation to attend one of their meet-and-greets. Anything that promises a gathering of kindred spirits along with the opportunity to do good in the world will hit the mark. Over the next three weeks, return calls to people who reached out to you and listen to their proposals. Even if their initial offer isn’t perfectly aligned, consider how you might customize a role for yourself that utilizes your strengths. Instead of dismissing things as “not possible,” try asking, “How can I make this work for me?”

Your ability to keep a secret—and keep your private life private—is legendary, Scorpio, but that’s not always to your advantage. Sometimes you can come off as aloof or unwilling to share with people who truly care about you. But on Thursday, talking about feelings or physical desires will come much more naturally thanks to an inhibition-slashing connection between “open-book” Jupiter in your eighth house of intense emotions and the illuminating Sun in your social sector. But you’re still a Scorpio, meaning you don’t want to pour your heart out to just anyone. Before you reveal the contents of your heart, make sure your chosen confidante has earned their loyalty points—i.e., NOT a brand-new friend or hookup buddy!

If you’re still feeling the urge to divulge, Sunday’s skies offer great support. Candid Jupiter in your chamber of secrets gets into a very different formation that day, forming a harmonious 120-degree trine with compassionate, amorous Venus in your internalized twelfth house. Spontaneous Jupiter makes it easier for you to share your turn-ons and initiate some experimental ideas. It won’t take much—a glance, a touch—to spark some sexy action behind closed doors for the coming few days—or wherever the sparks get lit. The only caveat is that once you break the “silence seal,” it might be hard to get the cork back IN!
