Your July 2024 Horoscope for Scorpio
by Susan Miller
If you have been feeling a bit isolated lately, it’s likely due to Saturn’s presence in your solar fifth house of love and tender care for children. Saturn gives challenges that are related to the house that he is visiting, and he also helps you find your inner strength to deal with the responsibilities we take on for those we love.
I have a friend who recently broke up with a sweetheart, and although we had not connected for about a year, I felt her pain in her texts. Saturn was teaching her to change her early expectations in a new relationship, but these lessons can admittedly be hard ones to endure. My mother used to say, “Man learns through pain.” She meant that through painful experiences, we learn really fast, and I think she was right, but oh boy, they are hard to go through.
Saturn will apply pressure, but some people only need light tutoring, while others will need a lot. Saturn adjusts to the personality of the person, but everyone comes out stronger, leaner, and wiser. This is the only time in 29 years that you will host Saturn in your fifth house of love and children. You will be done with Saturn when he leaves Pisces on February 13, 2026, approximately 19 months from now, so you are halfway through Saturn’s bootcamp. Saturn always remains about three years in a sign.
Saturn will move out of Pisces (and your house of love and children) next year from May 24 until September 1, 2025. Hosting Saturn in this area is a bit like an astrological oxymoron—the fifth house is all about carefree fun, emotional warmth, and the zing of first and early love. It is also about enjoying a touch of luxury and pampering, but Saturn wants you to hunker down, take the long view of life, and focus on your promises and responsibilities in love and regarding children.
