A situation with the client at work is heightening because they are not crediting you with all the effort you've put into their account. Before you see red, take a breath, and point out all the positives you've done for them. Obviously, they will eventually apologize and give you applause.

Unfortunately, you are feeling extra lazy this week and do not have the urge to hit the bar for happy hour. Commit to a night of watching cozy fall movies in your pajamas. Use this time to zone out and rest. Turn your phone on DND for peace of mind.

Finding a compassionate way to express yourself without hurting others will be challenging. It’s not because you aren’t feeling the love, but because you’re being direct and to the point for a change to get things done. Watch your tone in text and IRL because it may ruffle some feathers.

Everyone has much to say about your situationship, and none of it is relevant advice.

Like usual, love is on your mind. Instead of fixating on current and future connections, you’re caught up in the past. The truth is that reflecting on a moment in time causes you heartache.

Your bark and bite are equal! People should stay in their lanes to avoid your wrath. But if they can’t, warn them to focus on themselves, not you. Your stingers are out due to your defensive mode, so they better watch out! Hell hath no fury like an annoyed Scorpio.

Your crew is being super demanding at a time when you can't give them more energy than you already are. Know that you have to take care of yourself and put yourself first. Life is a big juggling act with you in the center of it all. Do you, Capricorn!
