Scorpio, The Scorpion
October 22 to November 22

Modality: Fixed
Element: Water
Ruler: Pluto (Mars)

Keywords: Intensity, determination, passion, obsession

As a Scorpio you take life rather seriously; you may feel you are on a path of destiny as you pursue your life’s purpose. Your determination to reach your goals is relentless, which at times can be detrimental to your physical and mental health. You are intuitive, and this gives you an edge in both relationships and your career; be careful, however, that you don’t become controlling or manipulative.

You have a wide circle of friends, but you know far more about them than they do you because they trust you and confide in you; this can be used to your advantage in most areas of life. That said, you are often hesitant to confide in others, especially in matters of romantic love. You will only spill your feelings once you know they are mutual, but once you do you need to exercise caution to keep your jealousy and obsession over your mate in check.

Scorpios like to be in control of their environment, with an emphasis on family communication. You will most likely be quite protective of your children. You do have a select inner circle of friends, but you prefer your home rather than a noisy social scene. You can most likely be found at home with your children and your pets.

Your determination and passion gives you great potential to achieve a top career spot, and you also have great earning power, among the best of the zodiac. Just be careful to only spend when you can afford it to avoid debt.

For the year ahead:

Affirmation: People and knowledge enrich my life

  • Your domestic life will benefit from lucky Jupiter in Aquarius
  • This is a great time to become involved in the community; through these networks you have the potential to make life-long friends
  • Saturn spends most of the year in Virgo; this could potentially put you in touch with someone from your past
  • Saturn is in exact alignment with Uranus in Pisces this year, which could trigger a reappearance of someone you haven’t seen in years
  • Be cautious of when you say and write to whom; use your Scorpio sixth sense to listen and observe before communicating when upset. The last two months of 2009 will see a clash of Saturn in Libra with Pluto in Capricorn, and it could cause a few snags
