Scorpio horoscope for tomorrow

9th of 12

What matters most

Mars is at a difficult angle to your sign. Everything moves too fast, and irritation rises over nothing. Slow down on purpose, one thing at a time.

Calculated for noon, London time, from the positions of the seven classical planets.

Your stretch, your day

These days

Your stretch scores 4.5 out of 10 until October 23 (Sun in Scorpio).

What carries you: Venus and Mercury.

What weighs on you: Mars and Jupiter at a difficult angle.

A mixed stretch: some planets make life easier for you, others slow you down.

Tomorrow

The Moon in Sagittarius does nothing in particular for you: the day follows your stretch.

The details

Background -0.75, Moon 0: total -0.75, so 4.5/10. The background alone gives 4.5/10.

A demanding stretch when the background is at -2.4 or lower.

  • Mars, square: -1.875, until November 25
  • Venus, conjunction: +1.5, until October 25
  • Jupiter, square: -0.9, until July 26, 2027
  • Mercury, conjunction: +0.525, until December 6

You

None of this area's planets is looking at your sign today: a neutral day, neither lifted nor slowed.

Love

Venus is in your sign for a few weeks. Your charm works on its own, and tenderness finds its words. Say the kind thing you've been keeping to yourself.

  • Venus · conjunction

Work

Mercury is in your sign. Ideas arrive sharp, and the words follow easily. Write the message you've been putting off for three days.

  • Mercury · conjunction

Energy

Mars is at a difficult angle to your sign. Everything moves too fast, and irritation rises over nothing. Slow down on purpose, one thing at a time.

  • Mars · square

Others

Jupiter rubs against your sign, for months. You give others too much, or expect too much from them, and disappointment follows. Promise half as much, and keep all of it.

  • Jupiter · square
  • in the background, for months

Mercury is in your sign, for a few weeks. You have things to say, and it shows in every conversation. Leave a pause now and then; someone will step in.

  • Mercury · conjunction

How it's scored

At noon, we look at which sign each of the seven classical planets is in (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn), and the angle it makes with each sign: trines and sextiles lift, squares and oppositions slow, and with a conjunction it depends on the planet.

Each area only counts the planets tradition links to it: Venus for love, Mercury and Saturn for work, Mars and the Sun for energy, the Moon and Jupiter for others, the Sun and the Moon for you. Otherwise, the calculation is the same as for the sign's score.

A sign is a twelfth of humanity: this score holds for everyone who shares it. Your own daily sky, calculated on your whole chart, is more accurate.
