Mars, the classical planet associated with Scorpio, stations retrograde later this month. This focuses questions of attachment, jealousy, and, most notably, your relationship to money. Mars will retrograde into your sign, where it will spend all of June and July. So this is less about figuring out things and more about gaining an understanding of who you are in relationship to those things. The bottom line seems to be about identifying what you actually need, and then learning how to say that out loud. On the deepest level this is an emotional question. We're really talking about how you feel and how you relate to what you feel, and about a grouping of themes related to survival. It's possible to play out all kinds of root-chakra dramas and burn up a lot of energy. It's also possible to seek authentic understanding of your most basic requirements for living, make peace with them, and learn to speak in language that other people understand. Yet this requires the intent of being understood, and the willingness to receive. How do you get there? I would say that generosity would teach you plenty. Do you really need to hold on so tight? Learn to share what you feel and what you have, and soon enough it will seem normal—as will the feeling of being understood.
