Scorpio Horoscope — October 26, 2024
You’re in your season, Scorpio, and the Sun is in your sign, which normally feels like a recharge. But today the Sun is squaring Pluto in Capricorn, and that’s not a gentle aspect. The Sun is in your first house of identity, and Pluto is in your second house of money and self-worth. This combination can feel like a crisis of confidence. Maybe you’re questioning your value—not just financially, but as a person. Maybe someone said something that made you doubt yourself. Pluto wants you to dig deep. The surface-level answer isn’t the real one. Ask yourself: what am I really afraid of? What would I do if I weren’t afraid?
The Moon is in Leo, lighting up your tenth house of career and public life. This is a Third Quarter Moon, and it’s squaring Mercury in your sign. That means your emotions are at odds with your thoughts. Maybe you’re feeling exposed at work. Maybe you’re second-guessing a decision you made. The tension is asking you to slow down. You don’t have to have everything figured out today. Sometimes the most powerful thing a Scorpio can do is sit with the discomfort.
Meanwhile, Mercury in your sign is quincunx Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, and this aspect is hitting your houses of identity and relationships. Mercury is in your first house, and Jupiter is in your seventh house of partnerships. This quincunx suggests that something you’ve been thinking about—a belief about yourself, a story you’ve been telling—needs to be adjusted when it comes to your relationships. Maybe you’ve been too independent. Maybe you’ve been leaning too hard on someone. The quincunx asks you to find a middle ground between self-reliance and connection.
Mars in Cancer is opposing Pluto, adding heat to your financial life. Mars is in your ninth house of travel, education, and beliefs, and Pluto is in your second house of money and self-worth. This could manifest as a conflict over resources—maybe a loan, a shared expense, or a disagreement about what something is worth. The key is to not act out of fear. If you feel a surge of possessiveness, take a breath. The opposition is exact enough that a confrontation could be explosive, but you have the power to choose your response.
On the brighter side, Venus in Sagittarius is trining the North Node in Aries, and this aspect is a gift for your sense of adventure and growth. Venus is in your second house of values, and the North Node is in your sixth house of daily routines and health. This suggests that investing in yourself—a class, a wellness practice, a new skill—could pay off in unexpected ways. Don’t be afraid to spend money on something that feeds your soul.
By evening, the Moon will quincunx Neptune and Pluto, which can leave you feeling emotionally drained. Don’t try to solve everything tonight. Instead, do something that reminds you of who you are outside of your struggles. Read a book. Listen to music. Let yourself feel whatever comes up.
