The year ahead for those born under the sign of the Scorpion
October 24-November22
Your fighting spirit and great determination always help you to rally when the game
of life gets a bit rough. Dwelling on revenge or allowing bitterness to linger will cloud your tremendous potential
to transform the world around you for the better. The Scorpion, your symbol, suggests subtley. Your true purpose
and aspirations are marked by controversy and mystery.
The springtime finds you running an abundance of errands with Mars active
in your 3rd house from the equinox through April 21. Efficient scheduling assures maximum accomplishment. On March
27 Venus enters your love sector to remain there through the first three weeks of April. Intimate relationships will
grow more tender during the early days of spring. Share music and dance with one whom you would woo.
By May Eve several planets in fixed signs will aspect Jupiter in your 10th
house. Your professional sphere is widening. There is opportunity, but many demands are placed on you. It's
easy to feel overwhelmed. YOu might have to choose between business and a relationship. The eclipse in your own
sign on May 15, under the Full Moon, will clarify which choice is best. That lunation marks the start of a significant
period of self discovery. At the beginning of June Saturn will enter your sister water sign of Cancer and will trine
Uranus in early Pisces, the other water sign. The support of these two weighty planets will be very beneficial to you.
By Midsummer Eve you will be engaged in several exciting and worthwhile projects. Spiritual and academic pursuits are
especially favored. At the same time June 1-12 finds Mercury and Venus opposing you. Seek compromise if others
are a little complex and argumentative.
By Fourth of July companions will be loving and cooperative again, for Venus
will begin a harmonious transit through Cancer. Your 9th house is exceptionally well aspected through July 28.
Enjoy some foreign cuisine and music or plan a vacation abroad. At Lammastide Mars and Pluto, which co-rule your birth
sign, are both retrograde. Throughout August be aware of which habits and patterns are beneficial and which are not.
The interplay between your careerand love liasions can be a factor. Avoid challenging others, for an aggressive tactic
on your part right now can backfire. On August 28 Pluto turns direct and you can release the past. A more progressive
mood builds as autumn approaches. September finds four important transits in Virgo-Jupiter, the Sun, Venus and Mercury-sextile
your Sun. All of this activates your 11th house. It's time to network. Politics or work within a service
organization can be worthwhile. Friends inspire you to develop worthwhile goals.
At the autumnal equinox Uranus and Neptune in your home and family sector
can bring some confusion to the domestic scene. A relative or extended family member is ready to make some changes.
Look at different options. Assemble magical workings to bless home and hearth. The situation will improve by your
birthday. During October Mars will be direct and Venus enters Scorpio. This promises a renewal of enthusiasm and
creative energy.
The dual eclipse pattern in November brings a turning point in a partnership
or commitment. Your financial sector is highlighted by the November 23 eclipse as well as simultaneous transits from
Pluto, Venus, and Mercury. Your attitude toward security is shifting. Explore new ways to earn your own money.
Early December a time to listen carefully. A casual remark or short, informal note can contain valuable information.
Your 3rd house of communication has good Venus and Mercury aspects.
Accept an invitation to take a short journey before December 15.. By
Yule Mars will enter your health sector, remaining there throughout January. Focus on wellness during winter's darkest
days. Stay warm enough and don't let inactivity or stress undermine your fitness. At the winter solstice light
a blessed candle dedicated to health. This Mars trend can make you a little critical of a coworker too. Work on
tolerance and releasing stress.
In January Venus will bring joy to family situations. On January 7 Mercury
will turn direct in your financial sector. A decision about money matters will be made shortly after that.
Candlemas finds favorable water sign transits in Pisces and Cancer surrounding you. Your natural sensitivity will be
heightened in a positive way. A love relationship improves and you can plan a memorable journey by the end of February.
Winter's end finds Mars prominent, opposing your Sun from the strong willed
sign of Taurus. Other have definite plans and suggestions. Try to be cooperative. Patience on your part
can avert a confrontation. Teamwork holds the key to success during March.
HEALTH
Mars, which has a special link to health in your case, will be retrograde from late
July through the autumn equinox. Since this will occur in Pisces, therapies linked to water can have a wonderful impact
on you. Try flushing out your system by drinking plenty of fresh spring water. A bath in Epsom or mineral salts
or immersion in a whirlpool can be realxing and rejuvenating. Stroll along a favorite beach and connect with
water elementals. Try your expertise at seafood and cookery.
LOVE
This year will be one of the most exciting and interesting in regard to romance
that you have ever known. Uranus, the planet of sprakles and surprises, will make a rare sign change and enter your
love sector where it will remain for most of the year. A friend can introduce you to your sould mate. Astrology
and other metaphysical studies can enhance your understanding of love. Don't worry if an old relationship ends abruptly,
especially near Beltane. Something better will definitely be waiting in the wings.
SPIRITUALITY
Your spiritual growth will assume new depth and meaning after June 3 when Saturn
enters your 9th house of philosophy and higher thought. You will become more dedicated to regular meditation and ritual
observances of the yearly high holidays. This will bring a new and stronger spiritual support your way. A coven
leader, perhaps a high priest of a different generation(younger or older) can be a source of great spiritual inspiration.
You will become much more informed regarding spiritual practices and formal observances.
FINANCE
Over the past year your overhead has been quite high. Jupiter, ruler of your
money house, has been in Leo creating a reckless aspect to your Sun. At the end of August this transit ends and Jupiter
moves into earthy Virgo. Your coffers will begin to be replenished. November brings some surprise offers and earning
opportunities, for an eclipse impacts your finances. Be receptive to the idea of developing a new job skill or accepting
a transfer. Changing to accomodate shifting economic demands in the world around you is very important if you are to
be really successful.
