Scorpio — The call is coming from inside the house
Today's Horoscope
Written by
Ashok IyerMain Energy
Four planets crammed in your 1st house today—Moon, Sun, Mercury retrograde, and Mars all sitting in Scorpio. This isn't cosmic background noise; this is your entire internal world demanding a board meeting. Every unresolved thought, half-buried feeling, and identity question you've been dodging is now sitting at your mental dining table. Anuradha nakshatra's Saturn influence means this introspection has receipts.
Your Day In
✦ Love & Connections
Venus hiding in your 12th house (Libra) while Mars combusts in your 1st creates a specific problem: you want connection but you're too busy having an internal reckoning to show up properly. That text you're crafting? You've rewritten it four times because Mercury retrograde in your sign is making you second-guess every word. If someone asks 'are you okay?' today, resist the urge to unload your entire psychological audit on them. The intensity you're feeling isn't about them—it's the Moon-Mars conjunction turning your emotional volume to 11. Save the deep talks for when you've figured out what you actually feel versus what you think you should feel.
✦ Money Matters
Jupiter retrograde in your 9th house (Cancer, exalted) is making you question whether your career path aligns with your actual beliefs, not just what looked good on paper. With its lord (Moon) sitting in your 1st house alongside the Sun, there's a direct line between your identity crisis and your professional confusion. Ketu in your 10th house (Leo) has been creating detachment from traditional career metrics anyway, but today's stellium makes it personal. Don't make dramatic career moves while Mercury is retrograde in your sign—your judgment is compromised by overthinking. Instead, use this energy to journal about what success actually means to you, not your LinkedIn network. The financial review is necessary; the impulsive Paytm transfer to fund a new side hustle is not.
✦ Self
This is exposure therapy for your own mind. Mercury retrograde conjunct your Moon in the 1st house means every old pattern, every repeated mistake, every time you said 'I won't do this again' and did it anyway—it's all playing on loop. Saturn retrograde ruling your Anuradha nakshatra placement adds a layer of harsh self-judgment about loyalty: who you've been loyal to, who you haven't, whether you've been loyal to yourself. Mars here gives you the energy to actually do something about it, but also the irritability to snap at anyone who interrupts your spiral. The productive move: use this concentration of self-focused energy to actually map out what needs to change, not just feel bad about it. Book that therapy session, start that meditation app trial, or at minimum, take a long walk without your phone. The unproductive move: doomscrolling while comparing your life to others' highlight reels.
Power Moves
- ✧ Perfect for: Deep work that requires zero human interaction—coding, writing, research, reorganizing your entire notion workspace. The 1st house stellium gives you laser focus on self-directed tasks. Also good for: finally booking that therapy appointment, deleting old text threads that keep you stuck, unfollowing accounts that make you feel inadequate. Anuradha's theme of devotion means recommitting to practices that actually serve you, not just look good on Instagram stories.
- ✧ Skip: Group hangs where you have to be 'on', important client calls (Mercury retrograde in your sign = you'll either overshare or completely misread the room), making big relationship decisions (you're too in your head), online shopping as emotional regulation (Venus in 12th will have you spending on fantasy versions of yourself), posting vulnerable content (you'll regret the exposure tomorrow when this intensity passes).
Pro Tip
The four-planet pile-up in your 1st house isn't happening TO you—it's revealing what's already been there. This is uncomfortable because Mars is forcing you to face what Moon feels and Mercury keeps analyzing while the Sun illuminates it all. But here's the thing about Anuradha nakshatra's Saturn influence: it rewards the work. The self-awareness you're gaining today, as excruciating as it feels, is the raw material for actual transformation. Just don't try to transform everything by midnight. This transit is giving you data, not demanding immediate solutions. Take notes, literal notes. You'll need them when Mercury goes direct and you can actually execute on these insights without second-guessing every move.
