A professional setback may be weighing on you. Take a break and have some fun. Amusement with a partner or children will lighten your mood. Avoid risky ventures and ask advice from elders. Be diplomatic in relationships that are tense right now. Love and money matters move ahead in a demanding environment. Excitement makes life worth living. You make a strong impression on those around you. Collaborations may be imminent. Use tact rather than a stern and forceful approach to bend things in your direction. Tact is the art of convincing people they know more than you do.

You may be privy to more confessions than you care to be, Scorpio—but today you could hear something that makes you feel more like an accomplice than an confidante. Should you sense a shift in this direction, cut people off before they get rolling. Mercury in your chamber of secrets is aligned with your ruler, subterranean Pluto, which can inspire people to drop their guard and open their hearts to you. It’s nice to know others trust you, but it’s also a lot to keep to yourself. Before anyone’s inner world becomes your albatross, change the subject!
