Mercury Retrograde 6/16/2007

Uranus Retrograde 6/24/2007

Your Natural 2nd House of possessions, pleasures and comforts has two retrograde planets in residence, one of which is Jupiter and the other your Sign's ruler, Pluto.  Jupiter retrograde (RX for short) tends to force us to consider ethics and moral issues, which could fit into any of these areas and only you will know which one applies to you.  This is not necessarily comfortable ground and it's probably easy to ignore, but more than likely Jupiter will keep after you an force the issue as required.  Pluto, likewise, is not likely to let you ignore something that requires attention.  If there is something in your past that has never been properly resolved relative to your 2nd House, you can bet it's not going to remain buried much longer.  As the Zodiacal Rotorooter, Pluto will see to it that anything clogging the figurative sewer lines of your life will be flushed out.  All sorts of ugliness may come to the surface, but without going through this process you would no longer be able to enjoy indoor plumbing in your house.  Thus, if there is something in this area that you need to resolve, and remember that your body is considered a possession and thus in the 2nd House's domain, Pluto will see to it that you do so, come hell or high water.  This is a classic case where resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.

Similar but separate from your possessions is your home environment, which is covered by your Natural 4th House.  While there is obviously some overlap, this largely applies to your home, both physical and emotional, and not only the one you have now but the one you grew up in.  It also includes past lives, if you're into such things, which as a Scorpio who is fascinated by the occult, you probably are.  Neptune is currently RX in that neighborhood, which may not be a good thing.  For one thing, Neptune tends to dissolve boundaries and run everything together.  He is also the master of delusion and can promote idealism that cannot possibly be met.  It is therefore very important that you throw some logic at what your expectations are for your home environment or you could set yourself up for a lot of disappointment.

On the 24th Uranus goes RX in your Natural 5th House of creativity, children and love affairs.  As the planet of surprises, unexpected events and disruptions, this could possibly be a problem, but actually the aspect is favorable so even if it initially takes you by surprise, it's very likely to have a positive outcome when all is said and done.

There is a lot of energy in your 6th House of work, health and pets until the 25th at which time Mars moves into Taurus.  It looks as if an adjustment may be required here as well or another place where you have to justify yourself.  If you're working hard on something right now, expect someone to question it and perhaps cause a change of some sort if you can't adequately explain why you're doing things the way you are.  Just watch that Scorpion's tail and not lash out in a manner that might not be to your benefit in the long haul.  Don't win the battle but lose the war. 

In spite of this, however, things in your Natural 10th House of career, reputation, responsibility and authority figures has a rather nice visitor after the 6th when Venus comes by for a visit.  Saturn has been hanging out there for quite a while and more than likely reminding you of your responsibilities and also urging you forward with some genuine ambition and aspirations to attain your career goals.  He recently came out of an RX cycle that further reinforced these qualities.  Venus in this neighborhood could easily bring some very positive rewards your way for your hard work and diligence, especially at the end of June when she comes nose to nose with Saturn.  Don't be surprised if you possibly get a bonus or some other nice benefit in payment for your efforts.

Be aware that in spite of the fact that there is a fair amount of positive things going on this month for you, one thing to look out for from June 16 to July 10 is the fact that Mercury is RX in Cancer, your Natural 9th House of legal matters, long distance travel and higher education.  If you're planning a vacation during this period, be aware that it may have elements similar to a Chevy Chase "Vacation" movie.  Things mechanical and electronic along with anything related to communications or transfer of data does not go well during this time.  Reservations are likely to be lost, cars are more prone to break down, cell phones freak out and computers crash.  If you're working on a legal matter or planning to go to court for something, be aware that communications are not favored and you might want to postpone it, if possible. This is a good time, however, to redo, rework or rethink something. 

Scorpios are often described as intense and this is likely to be a month that brings out this and other inherent traits.  Obsession is one of these as well, so make sure you don't get overly consumed by any of the issues that may get your attention.  Strive for balance and use your deepest instincts, which as a Water Sign are very strong, to determine your best course day by day and you'll have no trouble coming out on top come July.
