Scorpio Horoscope for Today
A horoscope for Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) based on the actual positions of the planets. Its main part is the Moon: it moves into a new sign every two to three days and sets the theme of the day. The other planets move more slowly and show the background for the month and the year.
The Moon
Until 5:40 PM: in Libra, 12th house; from 5:40 PM: in Scorpio, 1st house.
Until 5:40 PM. The Moon is in the 12th house, the house of solitude. Tradition considers this house difficult: the day is best spent quietly — finishing what you have started, resting, spending time alone. Your energy is lower than usual, so tradition advises putting off important new beginnings until the Moon moves into your sign.
From 5:40 PM. The Moon is passing through your sign. By tradition, your own well-being, appearance and personal wishes come to the fore. A good time to take the initiative and focus on yourself; emotions are also closer to the surface than usual.
Times shown are New York time (US Eastern, UTC−5). Planetary positions are from the JPL DE421 ephemeris. Houses are counted from the sign: the sign itself is the 1st house, the next one is the 2nd, and so on. Interpretations follow the rules of tradition; the text is the same for everyone of the same sign.
The other planets
- Sun — in Scorpio, 1st house
The Sun in your sign: this is your month, and it begins with your birthday. By tradition, it is a time of strength, personal beginnings and attention to yourself.
- Mercury — in Scorpio, 1st house retrograde
Mercury in your sign: conversations and thoughts revolve around you — a good time to speak up for yourself and negotiate in your own favor.
Mercury is retrograde right now. By tradition, this is a time to review and redo: old issues and people come back, and new contracts, trips and tech purchases are best planned with room to spare.
- Venus — in Libra, 12th house retrograde
Venus in the 12th house: secret attractions, quiet pleasures, rest away from everyone.
Venus is retrograde right now. By tradition, a time to return to past relationships and spending; anything new — a romance, big purchases, a wedding — is best started after it turns direct.
- Mars — in Leo, 10th house sign ruler
Mars in the 10th house: a career push and clashes with your boss; by tradition, a time of ambition.
- Jupiter — in Leo, 10th house
Jupiter in the 10th house: a career year — by tradition, a time of promotion, recognition and big goals.
- Saturn — in Aries, 6th house retrograde
Saturn in the 6th house: a grinding routine and attention to chronic ailments — tradition advises regular habits and moderation.
Saturn is retrograde right now — for about four and a half months a year. By tradition, a time to go back to unfinished obligations.
Houses for Scorpio
In a horoscope by sign, your sign counts as the 1st house, the one after it as the 2nd, and so on around the circle. For example, for Scorpio a planet in Taurus is in the 7th house, the house of partnership. Here are all the houses for Scorpio:
| House | Sign | Area of life |
|---|---|---|
| 1st House | Scorpio | self and well-being |
| 2nd House | Sagittarius | money and possessions |
| 3rd House | Capricorn | communication and short trips |

Ruling planet
In the classical tradition, the ruler of Scorpio is Mars; modern astrology adds Pluto, but only the seven classical planets are counted here. The position of Mars shows where Scorpio's energy is going and where conflict is more likely; a retrograde Mars is a time to finish things, not to start them.
How to read this horoscope
The Moon is the day: look at which house it is in and whether it changes sign. The Sun shows the theme of the month (in the 1st house, your birthday month); Mercury, Venus and Mars set the background for several weeks, Jupiter and Saturn for a year or more.
Event times are shown by your device's clock, adjusted for your time zone. The “Yesterday” and “Tomorrow” buttons show the neighboring days.
