Scorpio Horoscope Today — December 17, 2024

WaterOct 23 — Nov 21Ruling Planet: Pluto

You are no stranger to intensity, but today the Full Moon in Cancer is in your ninth house of beliefs, travel, and higher learning, and it's opening a door you thought was locked. The Moon is opposing Pluto in your sign, and this is the aspect that's going to make you feel like you're standing at the edge of a cliff, looking down into the water, trying to decide whether to jump. Pluto in your sign has been transforming you for years, but today's Full Moon is asking you to take an actual step. Not a metaphorical step. An action. A decision. A commitment to the person you're becoming.

Mars is retrograde in Leo, your house of career and public life, and it's opposing Pluto in your sign. This is a power struggle, but it's not with someone else—it's with yourself. You've been fighting against your own growth, resisting the change that you know is necessary because it's uncomfortable and it's scary and it's unknown. Mars retrograde is asking you to stop fighting and start surrendering. Not giving up. Surrendering. There's a difference.

Mercury in Sagittarius is sextile Pluto, and this is the aspect that's going to give you the words for the thing you've been unable to say. This is a powerful aspect for therapy, for difficult conversations, for any situation where you need to speak your truth without being consumed by the emotion of it. Mercury sextile Pluto gives you precision and depth. You can say the hard thing today, and you can say it in a way that lands.

Venus in Aquarius is trining Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, and this is the aspect that's going to remind you that transformation doesn't have to be grim. This is about pleasure, about beauty, about the things that make life worth living even in the middle of the chaos. You might find yourself laughing at something that would have made you cry last week. That's progress. Let yourself enjoy it.
