Scorpio Weekly Horoscope - 12-June-2017 to 18-June-2017

It’s money management week, Scorpio. Break out those statements and give them a review. Are there forgotten recurring charges you need to cancel? Extraneous retail therapy binges you need to curb? This Thursday, June 15 structure-obsessed Saturn in your income zone sends a cautionary note to the Sun in your eighth house of investments. It’s not just about how much you rake in, Scorpio, but what you do with your earnings. Putting a percentage of each paycheck into a well-diversified portfolio that pays compounding interest is the way to grow your wealth. Real talk: Could you contribute a little (or a lot) more to that nest egg? If you don’t know a bond from a mutual fund, start sharpening up your fiscal IQ. Download a Suze Orman book and ask people you trust to recommend a financial planner who can help you create a savvy budget that covers your expenses and flows funds towards your secure future. No one’s saying you can’t indulge. Those summer sandals and sexy day-to-evening sundresses ARE calling your name! But imagine the serenity of your splurges if you know you’ve covered your bases before hitting that Buy Now button.

Now, back to that earnings column: Are you making what you’re worth? Saturn could bring a wakeup call about raising your rates. What would it take to elevate to a higher pay grade? It might simply be the confidence to ask for it, in some cases. Maybe you need to professionalize your business materials: a sleeker website with more functionality, for instance, or savvier social media profiles. Industrious Saturn might also point you to a specialized training program. Even if you already have the skills, being certified could make you more marketable to employers—or give you the leverage you need to sit down with corporate and ask for a raise.

On Friday, June 16 deep-diving Neptune kicks off its annual retrograde, luring you further down into those Scorpionic depths. But just because you feel the magnetic pull of something edgy and dangerous doesn’t mean you have to chase it. Neptune’s backspin is taking place in Pisces and your dramatic, flamboyant and romantic fifth house. Your passion for the mysterious is no secret (though you also love secrets!). But with Neptune in reverse until November 22, you’ll be wise to exercise a little self-restraint when it comes to your investigative powers. Shadowy Neptune could attract some living-on-the-edge types who, while exciting, are also kind of shady. And unraveling the case could mean getting caught up in their “crimes.” Resist, even if they have VIP access to the coolest parties or the sex is the best you’ve had in years. Under this transit, you might struggle with setting (and enforcing) boundaries, even veering into codependent terrain with the ones you love. Helping people you adore is one thing but if you’re starting to feel like you’re more committed to solving their problems than THEY are, this is the week to draw back. Then, get to work on being more receptive to people who are kind, caring and want to give to YOU. If you take an unflinching look at the situation, you might realize that you’re avoiding vulnerability by putting the focus on selfish people who also won’t invade your privacy. (Because it’s all about them…) We realize it can be scary for your private sign to open up, but for the coming five months, this is a fear worth addressing. You’ll be glad that you did once your template for relationships shifts back to “equal flow of give and take” instead of resentful exhaustion.
