Three planets stack in Scorpio rising's 8th house this week — Sun, Mercury, and Uranus in Gemini — while Venus and Jupiter expand the 9th. Hidden financial dynamics and psychological clarity tend to surface between May 25–31, with May 28 as the week's turning point.

Three planets stack in your 8th house this week — the zone of shared resources, psychological depth, and the things left unsaid. Sun, Mercury, and Uranus line up in Gemini here while the Moon tracks toward your 1st house by May 28. This is The Week the Veil Lifts.
For Scorpio rising — readers whose ascendant is Scorpio, the sign on the eastern horizon at birth — the headline transit is Sun conjunct Uranus in Gemini in your 8th house. A conjunction places two planets at the same degree of the sky, amplifying each other's signal. The 8th house rules shared finances, psychological investigation, and whatever lives below polite conversation. With Gemini here, conversations that start at the surface tend to go deeper than planned. Mercury also occupies the 8th this week, sharpening focus for financial negotiation, research, or the direct talk that has been postponed. The Uranus conjunction is separating — the peak moment passed just before May 25 — but at 2.77° it stays active through the first half of the week, and any unexpected disclosures or financial updates between May 25–27 connect directly to that current.
The stronger pattern building through the full week is Sun trine Pluto — a trine is a 120° angle between planets, among the most harmonious in astrology — an applying aspect growing more exact as May 31 approaches. Pluto is retrograde in your 4th house (home, family roots, psychological foundation), moving back through terrain already covered. The trine links your 8th-house Sun to that slower inner excavation: whatever Pluto has been quietly reshaping at home or in family patterns tends to connect with what surfaces in shared finances or intimate conversations this week. The applying Sun trine Moon adds emotional fluency — expect to feel more capable of holding uncomfortable truths around May 27–28 than usual.
Mars occupies Taurus in your 7th house — the house of one-on-one partnerships, contracts, and open adversaries. Taurus Mars is slow-moving and dug in; in the relationship house, a partner (romantic, professional, or otherwise) may hold their position through most of the week, especially May 25–27 when the Moon is in your 12th house and personal energy tends to run low. Forcing a direct confrontation from a depleted position into a fixed-sign standoff tends to calcify rather than resolve. The leverage shifts on May 28 when the Moon enters Scorpio and your 1st house — personal presence returns, and the conversation becomes viable. Save the direct exchange for then.
The lower-friction zone this week: Venus and Jupiter both occupy your 9th house in Cancer. The 9th rules travel, higher learning, publishing, and the beliefs you actually live by. Jupiter in Cancer operates by exaltation — stronger here than in most signs — and Venus alongside it adds warmth and openness. Between May 25–31, this combination tends to support trips, courses, creative projects with reach, or a genuine conversation about what you believe. One flag: the applying Moon opposition Neptune — an opposition is a 180° angle of tension — can soften emotional clarity and make it easy to absorb others' assumptions. Check facts before committing mid-week.
The Week the Veil Lifts tends to reward Scorpio rising for looking directly at what's been kept vague — shared finances, relationship dynamics, the patterns running under the surface. The 8th house holds your attention all week, the Sun–Pluto trine supports the excavation, and the 9th house stays open when you need to come up for air. Lean in, pace yourself, move on May 28.
Yes, especially May 28–31. The Sun trine Pluto grows more exact through the week's end, bringing clarity to shared finances and intimate dynamics. The complication is Mars in your 7th house through May 31, which can produce a stubborn partnership standoff — route those conversations toward May 28, when the Moon enters Scorpio and your personal presence sharpens.
Avoid forcing partnership confrontations before May 28 — the Moon in your 12th house through May 27 runs personal energy low, and Taurus Mars in your 7th tends to dig in rather than negotiate. If a home or family dynamic resurfaces May 28–31, resist the urge to close it quickly; Pluto retrograde in your 4th house rewards patient processing.
May 28 stands out: the Moon enters Scorpio and your 1st house, personal presence sharpens, and the Sun trine Pluto is applying most closely here. Venus and Jupiter together in your 9th house in Cancer are available all week, making May 28–31 especially well-suited to travel, learning, or any project that benefits from expansive thinking.
