In 2026, Pluto in Aquarius will challenge your relationship with power, success, and control. You might feel the urge to assert dominance through material prosperity or external displays of wealth, especially in the workplace. However, Pluto will remind you that true power comes from inner stability, not from showing off. If you focus too much on external validation, you’ll miss the chance for deeper fulfillment.
This year, you’ll need to be mindful of overworking. You might feel like taking on every career or volunteer opportunity that comes your way, but Pluto will encourage you to prioritize emotional well- being over productivity. Just because you can do it all doesn’t mean you should. Be careful not to accumulate sleep debt or emotional burnout in your pursuit of success.
Themes of home and stability will also take center stage this year. Whether you’ve been looking for the perfect place for a while or want to downsize, you may realize that home is closer than you think—whether that means settling in a nearby town or moving to a new country. Remember, although a deeply rooted home base is often equated with security, true stability comes from addressing your emotional needs rather than chasing material success. By focusing on your inner world, you’ll cultivate the peace you’ve sought, no matter where you are.

Sharp focus, perceptive, empowered, mysterious.
The mood is smoky, primal, occult, and curious; still waters run deep.
You are perceptive, focused where you're interested, but can hyper-focus and miss what's just beyond.
You play your cards close to your chest and understand much that is mysterious to others. Your challenge is to see life's gifts as clearly as you can see the problems.
Those born under a Scorpio Moon are curious, private, mysterious, and intense. They need time alone but not loneliness, feel deeply but may have trouble expressing their feelings, which can become explosive under pressure.
While they're wonderful in an emergency, they have no patience for trivia. Trust brings out their depth and loyalty.
Our focus, with and temper sharpen. The mood is broody, sultry, possessive, introspective serious with dark humor. We want to research, look under the rocks, look at the worst-case scenario, and know we're strong enough to handle it.

What is a rising sign you ask? The rising sign is the sign that was present on the horizon at the time of your birth. It sits similarly on your birth chart on this horizon line, or equatorial line in your chart on the left or east side of your chart.
To calculate your rising sign, you'll need to know the exact time of your birth, once you know along with your geographic location, you can visit many sites and receive a free birth chart, here is one of our staff favorites.
Your sun sign represents your core personality, and the qualities of our outward shining self. Your moon sign reflects qualities of your inner core self, or emotional self.
Rising sign is your outlook on the world and first impression you give to others.
Rising sign also dictates where the Astrological Houses lay within your chart.
The Houses (twelve pie shaped sections) of our personal birth chart attend to all areas of our life. Each house represents a basic facet of human experience from birth to death. The placement of each house in your natal chart is dependent on your rising sign
Scorpio rising signs are goddess of transformation. You may be magnetic or charismatic but also hold tight to your secrets, and those of others. You are a keeper of secrets, both of yours and of others. You easily confront darkness, and may even feel at home in shadow.
Scorpio ascendants are deeply private and sensitive people, though they may be intimidating at first glance. They love deeply and passionately.

We prepare ourselves to dive into the darkness of the season. The veil is thin between our world and the next.
Scorpio is often called the Scorpion, though it can also be seen as an eagle flying overhead with pray in its talons and the phoenix resembling the death and rebirth aspect of Scorpion traits.
The Glyph is similar to that of Virgo, except the tail points outward instead of inward, recognizing Scorpio's ability to see beyond and out into the world.
Scorpio often brings the first frost of the season. The leaves start to change and fall off the trees. The season is shifting as it's preparing itself for the cold months ahead. Many plants and animals begin to get ready for hibernation and draw inward and down for this time.
It is also the time of the mushroom, these wonderful beings transform dead material into rich soil. Scorpio is all about transformation and life within death.
Scorpio rules Dusk or early evening when the sun is behind the horizon line. Libra brings the sunset, and Scorpio opens the night.
The sign opposite Scorpio is Taurus, Taurus rules the morning when we prepare ourselves for the day, Scorpio on the other side readies us for night time activities.
In tune with Scorpio's ability to bring live and death, these body parts match ability our body has to transform waste, rid ourselves of excess and bring life into this world.
The place where Libran body parts and Scorpionic parts meet, cecum and appendix, creates a scorpion like tail shape within our body as well.

Planets in Scorpio almost seem to have a sixth sense in them, their intuition is high in those matters and can understand deeply what the Planet resembles.
Planets in Scorpio carry lots of secrets and truth, whether they care to divulge them, that's up to you.

“The Houses (twelve pie shaped sections) of our personal birth chart attend to all areas of our life. Each house represents a basic facet of human experience from birth to death.”
The placement of each house in your natal chart is dependent on your rising sign. A person with an Aries rising has what is called a “natural chart”. A rising sign is the sign ascending on the eastern horizon on the time of your birth, it can be calculated using a rising sign calculator here!
The Eighth House is concerned with joint resources, including our financial affairs and meeting needs for intimate connection and sexuality.
As we merge deeply with others we may care passionately, hold tightly, then allow for dissolution to take place.

Mars is a planet of action, drive, desire and energy. Aries is also ruled by Mars, Mars in Scorpio is an intense lover, strong willed and hyper focused on what matters to them and extremely passionate.
Mars is our sense of get up and go! It is the capacity to take action and do; it represents motion. It can also affect our temperament.
