December 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

December

Overview.

Until the 21, the Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most “financial” period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now. You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when “comfort zones” are more important to you than usual–you value the familiar.

The Sun is illuminating your communications sector from the 21, suggesting “busy-ness” and movement. You are exploring and searching now, making connections, and paying attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is emphasized during this period, and is for the most part light-hearted. Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle. You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are a different country. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking. Rather, it’s a time of little adventures close to home. Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful now, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Money matters are strong for you this month, dear Scorpio, as you focus on making yourself feel secure. You are also likely to be held in high esteem by superiors, elders, and your partner in December. Gifts and bonuses coming your way may be more generous than usual this year! Career matters, however, can become complicated from the 19th. Either you lose some interest in projects that have recently captured your attention, or plans hit some snags and delays. Home life seems to be more rewarding for the time being, and romance is highly favored in December.

Mars turns retrograde on December 20th until March 10th, 2010. You are likely to have been feeling some of its effects since October 17th, when Mars entered its shadow. Some of the activities and themes you’ve been encountering since October 17th may recur as you question or re-assess them. When Mars is in its retrograde cycle, we are forced to re-assess our current projects, our approach to getting what we want, and our desire nature. Rather than directly asserting our desires, we tend towards introspection. While Mars in direct motion is direct, straightforward, assertive, and aggressive, with Mars in retrograde motion, Mars energy is essentially turned inward–it’s internalized, intensified, personalized, and perhaps pressurized. We can be hesitant about taking action, second-guessing our instincts or our natural impulses rather than acting upon them. The way we react to situations under normal conditions doesn’t necessarily work for us now, or we don’t exactly trust our instincts. The higher meaning of a Mars retrograde period is not about simply sitting on our impulses or dampening our enthusiasm. Rather, it’s about better understanding our impulses, our survival instincts, our anger, our sexuality, our inner courage, and the ways we go about getting what we want from life. The cosmos are asking us to look before we leap rather than throw ourselves into action, just for the time being. We might require more rest than usual. Some of us are more accident-prone or illness-prone, almost as if the cosmos are forcing us to slow down if we haven’t listened to our natural impulses to take a break. It’s time for regrouping, and this is important on both physical and emotional levels.

Mercury is retrograde from December 26, 2009, to January 15, 2010. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused. Occurring in your solar third house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to composing letters, emails, making phone calls, and with communications in general. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go wrong, you might have trouble getting from point A to point B (example, transportation problems), emails or letters get lost, and so forth. Idle chit-chatting during this period may have repercussions! People might be misunderstanding your words. You may be forgetful during this cycle, and it makes sense to allow yourself extra time to get to appointments, if they are not cancelled in the first place! It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.

Jupiter conjuncts Neptune in your fifth house three times in 2009–May 27, July 10, and December 21–and this is the last of the set. A spirit of altruism and generosity, making connections with others from a different background, widening your mind through unusual or different experiences, expanded faith, and a feeling that anything is possible if you set your sights high enough are all themes. With the ruler of your third house and the ruler of your sixth house aligned, this year there is more activity and communication on the job. Many of you will be especially mentally active and engaged in the work you do, and some will be running more errands or more “on the move” than usual in their jobs. Many of you are working in communications fields. Some of you are becoming more expressive when it comes to romantic notions, love, and also children. Some of you are finding romance on the job. In general, your faith in romantic relationships increases this year. The only real danger here is that you may be putting too much faith in love matters–that is, unrealistic, inhuman, or misplaced faith in lovers. Try not to be too starry-eyed about romance or you could be setting yourself up for disappointment. You could also be expecting, quite unwittingly, far too much from mere mortals! Some of you will find you are attracting Sagittarius and Pisces lovers into your life. Many of you are truly discovering your creative potential, and putting more faith in your creative abilities.

A Lunar Eclipse occurs on the very last day of 2009, on December 31st and at 10 degrees Cancer, and we will discuss its effects in January’s horoscope. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from December 24th and into the New Year.

From the 1-25, Venus moves through your solar second house. Financial matters are spotlighted now, and you may experience a mix of social and financial activities during this cycle. Financial increases may very well come from the use of diplomacy and charm, through women, or you might be the recipient of gifts now. You are certainly more attracted, at this time, to the good things in life, including luxury or comfort items, and you might have the urge to splurge on them now. However, you are also very aware of the pleasure of feeling secure or of having a healthy bank account, which can balance things out in this respect.

Venus warms your communications sector from the 25. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar tenth house this month, and turns retrograde on the 20th. Typically with Mars in the tenth, bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. You possess more ambition and willingness to come out on top. You could find that your talents or services are especially in demand now. Courage, ambition, energy, enterprise, force, emotional involvement, business acumen, and a strong drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You love to see practical results for your efforts, take pride in a job well done, and love to show off your leadership skills. Try not to allow your enterprising nature to come across as aggressive or insensitive. As well, you may be on the confrontational side for the time being. With Mars turning retrograde this month, however, it’s a time of questioning your zeal for all of these matters, as you might be experiencing a sudden lack of energy or enthusiasm in these areas of your life. For you, enthusiasm for career and public affairs may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Some projects may stall. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now.
Challenges with these areas of life are more likely while Mars is retrograde, beginning December 20th and extending into the new year (until March 10th, 2010). Your focus remains in this area of life, but caution and perhaps anxiety or confusion begin to dominate. You might feel less confident or you could simply feel more cautious now.

Highlights:

December 2 A Full Moon occurs today in Gemini in your solar eighth house. This Full Moon is all about give and take. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people’s needs and comfort levels. It’s a good time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise. You may be in a position wherein you are forced to make a financial settlement or large outlay of cash; or, you may find that you are leaned upon for support, financial or otherwise.

December 5-6 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

December 12-13 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

December 14-15 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

December 16 A New Moon in Sagittarius in your solar second house affects you until the next New Moon on January 15th. Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.

December 19-21 Mars is stationary, turning retrograde on the 20th and remaining retrograde until March 10, 2010. We can be hesitant about taking action, second-guessing our instincts or our natural impulses rather than acting upon them. The way we react to situations under normal conditions doesn’t necessarily work for us now, or we don’t exactly trust our instincts. The higher meaning of a Mars retrograde period is not about simply sitting on our impulses or dampening our enthusiasm. Rather, it’s about better understanding our impulses, our survival instincts, our anger, our sexuality, our inner courage, and the ways we go about getting what we want from life. The cosmos are asking us to look before we leap rather than throw ourselves into action, just for the time being. We might require more rest than usual. Some of us are more accident-prone or illness-prone, almost as if the cosmos are forcing us to slow down if we haven’t listened to our natural impulses to take a break. It’s time for regrouping, and this is important on both physical and emotional levels.

December 22-23 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

December 25-27 Mercury is stationary now, turning retrograde on December 26th, and will remain retrograde until January 15th–a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.

December 27-28 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

December 31 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Cancer in your solar ninth house. The effects of this eclipse can last 3-6 months. Your attention to the logical world of reason has been a focus in the last two weeks. Now you feel a crisis of lack. Your personal beliefs may be tested now. Your impulses and faith matter, and all of the attention you’ve been giving to mundane affairs has you wondering when you’re going to have some fun. You want to take a leap of faith now. Your adventurous side pushes up and out, demanding attention.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:

November 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

November

Overview.

Until the 22, the Sun illuminates your first house, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It’s a great period for doing something entirely new and pioneeringto go solo in some area of your life. You are in the position to make an impression on others. You have presence and you project confidence.

The Sun highlights your second house from the 22, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you right now, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don’t have come into focus–what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value. This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good. This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig your heels in and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.

November is a power month for you, dear Scorpio. The spotlight is on you, and you are feeling especially confident, focused, and ambitious. This is not to say that things are being handed to you by any means. In fact, a feeling of being blocked by others or by circumstances is likely with you now. However, this only serves to fuel your determination. Relationship tests in the first days of the month are likely, but a partner has your best interests at heart from the 8th, when Venus, the goddess of love, enters your sign. It’s a time of greater magnetic appeal–when the world seems to be appreciating your style.

Until the 8th, Venus continues to move through your privacy sector. Matters of the heart touch you deeply. You may willingly play a supportive role to a partner, offering him or her more compassion and selfless love. If a romance were to begin during this period, it would likely be a private or even secret one. What you don’t know might just be helping you right now, because what’s happening behind your back is moving in your favor and all will come out happily when your dreams become a reality soon enough.

Venus graces your solar first house from the 8. You could find it hard to deny yourself anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likeable now.

Mercury continues to work its way through your first house until the 16. This is a cycle in which you tend to talk more readily, particularly about your own personal likes and dislikes or your personal past. Your demeanor is light-hearted and curious, and others might turn to you for advice, as you appear to be more rational than usual. This is the time of year when you can most easily use the power of words to attract what you want for yourself.

From the 16, Mercury moves through your solar second house. This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.

Mar

s continues to animate and energize your solar tenth house this month, bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. You possess more ambition and willingness to come out on top. You could find that your talents or services are especially in demand now. Courage, ambition, energy, enterprise, force, emotional involvement, business acumen, and a strong drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You love to see practical results for your efforts, take pride in a job well done, and love to show off your leadership skills. Try not to let your enterprising nature get interpreted as aggressiveness or insensitivity. As well, you may be on the confrontational side for the time being.

Highlights:

November 2-3 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

November 2 A Full Moon occurs today in Taurus in your solar seventh house. The New Moon was all about you. Now it’s time to strike a balance with an “other”. The seventh house represents an important one-to-one relationship–a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It’s time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another. It’s time to compromise and negotiate. Partnership “tests” are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.

November 8-9 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

November 15-16 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

November 16 A New Moon in Scorpio in your solar first house affects you until the next New Moon on December 16th. This New Moon placement is a powerful oneit’s a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.

November 17-18 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

November 25-26 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

November 29-30 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:

October 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

October

Overview.

Until the 23, the Sun continues to “hibernate” in your solar twelfth house. This is a time when you recharge your batteries, rest up, reflect, and perhaps close matters that have run their natural course. During this cycle, resolving subconscious influences or matters from the past are important when it comes to achieving a real sense of fulfilment. You might withdraw from the hustle and bustle of daily life on instinct, perhaps in an attempt to get to know yourself, your goals, and your needs better. This is an imaginative, perhaps dreamy, time of the year. Some may indulge in self-pity at this time, but as long as they pull strength from it, it might simply be a healthy process. You need time alone now in order to sort things out and to avoid overload!

The Sun illuminates your first house from the 23, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the height of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It’s a great month to do something entirely new and pioneeringto go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature pushes up and out, and it’s time to seize opportunities. Problems in your life may be overcome by bravery, self-assertion, and directness. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It’s not the best time for team work and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It’s time to carve your own path in life.

For the most part, October is a time of repose, of tying up loose ends, and perhaps letting go, dear Scorpio. However, career matters are dynamic, busy, and strong from mid-month. You are feeling considerably more ambitious when it comes to professional matters. Sensitive issues or secrets are coming to light this month, and should be handled with care. The last week of the month brings a strengthening of personal spirit as well as increased focus, energy, and confidence. New responsibilities and commitments are presenting themselves, and you feel confident about taking them on.

Venus continues to journey through your solar eleventh house until the 14, where she enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are likely to enjoy a strong feeling of happiness and solidarity in friendship, or with groups of like-minded individuals. You are more peace-loving and obliging than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy. The tendency to gloss over problems, or to avoid responsibilities, when it comes to friendships may be in place during this transit.

Venus graces your solar twelfth house from the 14. Selfless love is the theme with this transit. It is a time when merging with another person appeals, and this can be expressed as discontent or spiritual longing, or you might express your love in ways that truly are selfless. Sometimes themes of this transit include dealing with private matters of the heart or affairs, unrequited love, or longing for something that cannot manifest in real terms. Matters of the heart touch you deeply. You may play a supportive role to a partner, offering him or her more compassion and selfless love. If a romance were to begin during this period, it would likely be a private or even secret one. Try to be content with whatever it is that you don’t know, as it may very well be helping you out.

Mar

s continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house until the 16, making this a fabulous time for promoting your ideas and beliefs, although coming on too strong could work against you. If you can’t travel, you’ll feel like doing so, or at least travel in your mind, simply because you have a great urge to expand your horizons in some manner. Energies invested in recreation, travel, or simply cooking up great new ideas are well spent and serve to refresh and renew your vitality. Creative projects can flourish with enlarged focus and redoubled efforts that somehow don’t tire you out. Big, ambitious, adventurous ideas can come to you in a rush during this cycle, propelled by the urge to do something you’ve never done before.

Mars activates and energizes your solar tenth house from the 16, bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. You possess more ambition and willingness to come out on top. You could find that your talents or services are especially in demand now. Courage, ambition, energy, enterprise, force, emotional involvement, business acumen, and a strong drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You love to see practical results for your efforts, take pride in a job well done, and love to show off your leadership skills. Try not to let your enterprising nature get interpreted as aggressiveness or insensitivity. As well, you may be on the confrontational side for the time being.

Highlights:

October 1-2 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

October 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Aries in your solar sixth house. Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you–even if it’s a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you’ve been toying with in your mind. This may also be a time when a work project comes to fruition or completion.

October 5-6 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

October 12-13 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

October 18 A New Moon in Libra in your solar twelfth house affects you until the next New Moon on November 16th. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging one’s spiritual and, in effect, physical “batteries”. Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other’s needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. This is a more sensitive position of the New Moon, and it is best to find some sort of peace for the soul in preparation for the New Moon in the first housea period that is more active and busy than this one.

October 18-19 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

October 21-22 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

October 28-29 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:

September 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

September

Overview.

The Sun continues to illuminate your solar eleventh house until the 22–a more sociable time of the year for you. This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you’re attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is strong. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Making friendly contact with others, in general, is probable. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. Towards the 12th, you begin to require a bit of down time, and that’s natural after a busy month.

From the 22, the Sun travels through your twelfth house, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have–to things, people, and routines–and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It’s not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it’s a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.

Your social circle, community, and more expansive goals come into strong focus this month, dear Scorpio. Connections made this month may be surprising and especially rewarding at the same time, both on personal and professional fronts. You might find yourself creating bridges between others and enjoying the process. The need for adventurous excitement and mental stimulation is strong in September, and impels you to reach out for new experiences, fresh ideas, and interesting friendships. Romantic excitement is likely around the Full Moon on the 4th. A tug of war between a friend or your attention to activities and a lover might figure.

Mercury is retrograde from September 7-29 this month. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused. Occurring in your solar eleventh and twelfth houses this time, your instinctual judgment may be compromised, and extra care should be used when communicating with friends. You may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily get sticky. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may be uncommunicative or giving off mixed signals. On the other hand, old acquaintances may appear during this cycle. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you’re picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends and co-workers during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.

Saturn opposes Uranus this month, and occurs in your solar eleventh and fifth houses. This long-term transit has been in effect since November 2008, and is renewed this month. A real feeling of restlessness is in the air now. Attempts to assert our individuality, freedom, and originality undermine our feeling of groundedness and security. Yet, we are not satisfied when we conform. There may be sudden and unexpected twists that force us to do something different or free ourselves from old habits. Adjusting our plans is in order, and striking a balance between convention and innovation is the challenge. Setbacks tend to be temporary and often lead to new, more creative paths or solutions. Ambivalence is likely and could color many of our interactions. It can be challenging to make one particular decision and stick to it. Increased social responsibilities are felt during this transit, but at the same time a need for freedom of expression and spontaneity with regards to creative and romantic impulses. Romantic affairs may be erratic. Some might experience pressures from friends.

Venus continues to move through your solar tenth house until the 20. You are more socially ambitious than usual during this cycle. Attention is drawn to your professional manner or your personal relationships become more public. More opportunities to socialize and network could present themselves now, or circumstances are such that you need to draw upon your diplomacy skills in order to advance.

Venus graces your solar eleventh house from the 20, where she enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are likely to enjoy a strong feeling of happiness and solidarity in friendship, or with groups of like-minded individuals. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house this month, making this a fabulous time for promoting your ideas and beliefs, although coming on too strong could work against you. If you can’t travel, you’ll feel like doing so, or at least travel in your mind, simply because you have a great urge to expand your horizons in some manner. Energies thrown toward recreation, travel, or just cooking up great new ideas are well spent and serve to refresh and renew your vitality. Creative projects can flourish with enlarged focus and redoubled efforts that somehow don’t tire you out. Time flies when you’re having fun and leaves you with more vigor than when you began. Big, ambitious, adventurous ideas can come to you in a rush during this cycle, motivated by the urge to do something you’ve never done before.

Highlights:

September 3-4 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

September 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Pisces in your solar fifth house. You want to have fun, and the demands of your larger goals in life may have been eclipsing your pleasure-seeking activities. It can be hard to find time for everything you want to do, but without creative self-expression (be it romantic or playful), you simply won’t feel complete. It’s time to do something self-expressive, fun, and creative. You may be required to complete a creative project at this time. You could feel an overwhelming need to pour your heart out to a lover, or a romantic affair reaches some sort of epiphany. There could be a whirlwind of activity surrounding your child or children.

September 6-8 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until September 29th–a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.

September 8-9 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

September 15-16 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

September 18 A New Moon in Virgo in your solar eleventh house affects you until the next New Moon on October 18th. The eleventh house is a sector associated with networking, making contact, group activities, and income earned from business. With the New Moon here, focus is on making contacts and reaching out to others in both a social and professional sense. It’s a time to turn inner restlessness into fruitful contact with others. Heightened awareness of your position in life within the context of the group, rather than through self-centered focus, is probable with this position of the New Moon, as well as a need for social security. Goals that involve networking, making connections with others, joining or strengthening ties in a group project/activity, and nurturing good will are the focus this month.

September 21-22 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

September 23-24 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

September 28-30 Mercury stations and turns direct on September 29th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:

August 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

August

Overview.

Until the 22, the Sun continues to spotlight your career and public sector. Focus is on what you do, how you do it, and what you accomplish. Do whatever you can to adopt a serious approach to business because you are in the spotlight. A time when practical vision may be at a high, during which you can see what needs to be done and just how to go about doing it. Career and vocational issues may benefit from the increased clarity you possess.　 Much of your energy will be applied to vocational achievement, professional success, and leadership during this cycle. The desire for some form of recognition and financial success is stronger than any other time of the year.

The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true from the 22. It’s a sociable sector of your chart, and that’s exactly how you are feeling–happy, light-hearted, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time. This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you’re attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.

Life isnt especially private for you this summer, dear Scorpio, and August is no exception. Home life requires special consideration from the 1-7, and again on the 17-18, even if work seems more of a priority. Youve been expanding your personal circle and home life is sometimes chaotic. Youre filled with ideas about your goals and the future. With regards to romance, you have a strong desire for something different and perhaps a little exotic. Pay special attention to advice from an older (or more experienced) friend on the 16-18.

Last month, two eclipses occurred, and this month, there is one more. (Usually eclipses occur in sets of two, but this time around we have three). A Lunar Eclipse occurs on the 5th at approximately 14 degrees Aquarius. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from July 30th-August 6th.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 5th stimulates your solar fourth house. Surprises surrounding your home, family, and domestic life are in store. Something that has been in hiding or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of house and home, property, family, parents, and foundations is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a project on the home, an event involving a family member or parent that grabs your complete attention, a flurry of activity in your home that demands attention, and other such possibilities.

Venus graces your solar ninth house until the 26. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don’t seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn’t consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life–who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.

Venus graces your solar tenth house from the 26. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come though your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.

Mercury transits your solar eleventh house from the 2-25. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit–you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts. As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.

Mercury transits your solar twelfth house from the 25. Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues during this cycle. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You’re searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers. This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid being dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don’t waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities. You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.

Mars transits your intimacy sector until the 25, and your personal, intimate life speeds up. You experience every situation intensely and deeply during this cycle, even though your outward actions do not necessarily reveal this fact. You could find yourself attracted to mysterious or even dangerous situations. Sometimes this transit correlates with disputes over money. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support. Circumstances in life are likely to occur that require you to take the lead or to apply personal action in connection with joint finances.

Mars energizes your solar ninth house from the 25. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.

Highlights:

July 31-August 1 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

August 5 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Aquarius in your solar fourth house. The last two weeks have found you working hard towards your career goals and other public matters. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It’s time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself. A home, family, or property matter could grab your complete attention at this time.

August 7-8 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

August 12-13 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

August 19-20 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

August 20 A New Moon in Leo in your solar tenth house affects you until the next New Moon on September 18th. Heightened sensitivity to your standing in society and your goals for constructive progress are highlighted this month. It’s a good time to develop new business plans and goals, assuming the New Moon is not very afflicted, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a potential. It is a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society and as a professional. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. This is a phase when you will be busy with career and/or public responsibilities.

August 25-27 Venus, Mercury, and Mars are changing signs, Venus is highlighting the recent Solar Eclipse degree and joining with the South Node of the Moon, Mercury squares Pluto, and Mars opposes Pluto. These influences all occurring at once can point to troubles from the past resurfacing, as well as faulty, hasty, or haughty decision making for all signs. Keep a cool head if you can.

August 25-26 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

August 27-28 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:

July 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

July

Overview.

Until the 22, the Sun illuminates your solar ninth house. This transit that started in the last week of September finds you at your most adventurous and philosophical. Routine tends to bother you now, as you instinctively are drawn towards anything that brings you up and out of the mundane. You feel more fulfilled when you expand your horizons during this cycle. This can be a restless time, and it could also be a little self-indulgent. As long as you don’t fall into the trap of blind optimism, it’s a very pleasant time when you have the guts to do something different and enjoy yourself. You are also in the position to gain more of an overall perspective on your life and on your goals.

From the 22, the Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your “place” or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle. You want to shine. Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.

Events in July bring up the issues of freedom and mobility for you, dear Scorpio. You are feeling restless and restrained, and the need to put some spice and adventure into your life is strong. The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th sets the stage for a new commitment to finding more ways to get out and about. Intimate matters are heating up this month, keeping a romance interesting, but avoid reading between the lines too much. From the 5th forward, opportunities to get the support you need are strong, whether it’s financial or moral.

Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 7th at 15 degrees Capricorn. The other is a total Solar Eclipse on the 21st at 29 degrees of Cancer. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from June 30-July 7 and then July 14th-21st.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th stimulates your solar third house. Surprises surrounding your siblings, neighbors, or classmates are in store. Something that has been in hiding or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of communications is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a writing project, an event involving a sibling that grabs your complete attention, a sudden opportunity for an adventure or trip, a flurry of activity in your immediate environment or neighborhood that demands attention, a letter or other communication that holds a big surprise, and other such possibilities.

The Solar Eclipse on the 21st marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar ninth house, suggesting that a new approach to the way you expand your horizons, be they physical or mental (or both). New travel plans, education goals, or adventures may be formed in the coming months, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to expand your personal world is a strong potential. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

Venus journeys through your intimacy sector from the 5. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

Mercury transits your solar ninth house from the 3-17. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the “big picture” rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

Mercury is in your solar tenth house from the 17, suggesting that your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing. Your mental qualities are well suited to managerial posts and any work requiring communication skill and executive ability during this cycle. Financial security, professional prestige, and social status are the dominant mental issues for the time being. Career planning strategies or thinking of concrete ways to turn your dreams into realities as well as sharing your thoughts on these matters with a few significant others should be very fruitful now. It is a good time to communicate with someone in a position to help you achieve your aspirations.

Mars continues to move through your partnership sector until the 12, although the drama of this position is definitely easing, as Mars is now past an opposition to your Sun. With Mars in the seventh house, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative in active co-operation with others as associates or in partnerships of some kind. You can be aggressive and forceful in intimate relationships, or your partner may be displaying these traits. It is important to be restrained in all dealings with associates, business partners, and intimate partners. If you are too aggressive or dominant now, there is danger of trouble and loss through public opposition, unpopularity, damaged relationships, or even litigation in rare cases. This cycle tests your ability to resolve interpersonal conflicts. Remember that anger is often a mask for hurt feelings. There’s bound to be a lot of friction or push and pull as you strive to balance your style and agenda with another’s.

Mars energizes your intimacy sector from the 12. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

Highlights:

July 1-2 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

July 3-4 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

July 7 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Capricorn in your solar third house. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the mundane. Now the mundane is catching up with you. Errands need to be run, people are talking your ear off, you need to do some paperwork and answer calls. An important document could arrive, or a sudden need to run an important errand or to take a short trip could be part of the picture. You are pushed to find a balance now. Do what needs to be done so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.

July 11-12 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

July 16-17 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

July 21 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer in your solar ninth house affects you for the next 3-6 months. The ninth house rules our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the “regular” experiences in our lives. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

July 22-23 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

July 28-29 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward.

Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:

June 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

June

Overview.

Until the 21, the Sun continues to spotlight your intimacy sector. With the considerable energy of the Sun in your solar eighth house, much of your energy will be applied to deeply personal and transformative matters. The use of power is highlighted in some way during this cycle. Will-power, strategy, and financial ability are accentuated now. Something may be lost, so that something else is gained. This can be a time for getting down to business and of stripping away and discarding nonessentials. You can separate the wheat from the chaff, concentrating on important things. The Sun is energizing and spotlighting all that comes under the reign of the eighth house: transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

From the 21, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.

A close relationship heats up this month, dear Scorpio. Whether it is your partner who is initiating exciting changes, or it’s you who is looking for more spice, June brings a more impassioned approach to relating. Its a great period for enhancing or attracting love. Personal plans tend to be on the back burner for the time being, as the needs of significant others seem more pressing concerns. Financial matters that you have been avoiding demand attention around the Full Moon on the 7th. The 22-23 could bring some tension surrounding work.

Venus transits your solar seventh house from the 6. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections–very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house until the 14, this time in direct motion so that its energy is more straightforward. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You will seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mental abilities. You may attract a younger person into your life.

Mercury transits your solar eighth house from the 14. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing. Research is also highly favored. It’s also easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.

Mars energizes and activates your solar seventh house all month. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or adversaries may be challenging. Use this energy to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone’s help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle–full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.

Highlights:

June 4-5 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

June 6-7 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

June 7 A Full Moon occurs today in Sagittarius in your solar second house. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it’s time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy–the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power–what’s yours and what’s mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.

June 14-15 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

June 18-19 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

June 22 New Moon in Cancer in your solar ninth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on July 21. The ninth house rules our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the “regular” experiences in our lives. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

June 24-25 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:

May 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

May

Overview.

Until the 20, the Sun continues to illuminate your solar seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. You seem to need a partner or good friend with whom you can bounce ideas off. A partner is a catalyst for you to discover and develop your own self, and to realize your own potential. During this time, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with what would be best for a significant other. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”. You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they also are drawing upon you a great deal. It’s important to give others credit and recognition, and to attempt to harmonize and include others rather than to go solo for the time being.

From the 20, the Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic “junk” or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life’s secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year’s events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Wonderful energy is with you for work and health routines, dear Scorpio. Charisma on the job can mean getting noticed for your creativity and flair or opportunities to socialize through work connections. Some of you will find an office flirtation or romance is heating up. The Full Moon on the 8th can bring surprising revelations. The second half of the month can be tricky. Negotiations or conversations with a partner that took place in April may be revisited this month, perhaps with some frustration. Home life is especially peaceful and fulfilling.

Mercury is retrograde from May 7-30. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused.

Occurring in your solar seventh and eighth houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations, one-on-one communications, and any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It’s best to budget rather than spend. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do some damage if you (or your partner) focus on words said instead of the meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, do your best to be as non-judgmental as possible, and don’t over-react to what your partner has to say either. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it’s a good cycle in which to improve your negotiation skills. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Jupiter conjuncts Neptune in your fourth house three times this year–May 27, July 10, and December 21. A spirit of altruism and generosity, making connections with others from a different background, widening your mind through unusual or different experiences, expanded faith, and a feeling that anything is possible if you set your sights high enough are all themes. With the ruler of your second house and the ruler of your fifth house aligned, children may be especially valued this year. Many of you will be monetizing a creative hobby. As mentioned above, you are more inclined towards financial speculation this year, but should watch for overdoing it. The tendency is towards investments in property. Some of you are becoming more creative in home decorating, or embarking on creative projects in the home. In general, your faith in family and home life increases this year. The only real danger here is that you may be putting too much faith in these matters–that is, unrealistic, inhuman, or misplaced faith. Try not to be too starry-eyed about your family and home life or you could be setting yourself up for disappointment. You could also be expecting, quite unwittingly, far too much from mere mortals!

Venus continues to journey through your work and health sector all month. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Mars energizes and activates your solar sixth house all month. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It’s a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.

Highlights:

May 1-2 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

May 6-8 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until May 30th–a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.

May 7-8 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

May 8 A Full Moon occurs today in Scorpio in your solar first house. “Hey, what about me?” is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You’re looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too “other-oriented” recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others’ toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is “tested” right now.

May 10-11 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

May 17-18 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

May 22-23 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

May 24 New Moon in Gemini in your solar eighth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on June 22. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of otherswhat makes them tickas well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

May 28-29 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

May 29-31 Mercury stations and turns direct on May 30th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:

April 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

April

Overview.

Until the 19, the Sun continues to spotlight your work and health sector. You take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. Its a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. You may be drawn into some form of service that will bring deep personal satisfaction. At this time, you seek perfection and distinction in your work and this quality bring you a more responsible position. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn’t work in your life, while also discovering what does. More than any time of the year, you are conscious of your mental and physical health, daily routines, everyday working life, and your working methods.

From the 19, the Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”. You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It’s important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

Romantic and creative excitement are in store for you this month, dear Scorpio, particularly on the 14-15 and 20-22. Nevertheless, there is a lot of work that needs to be done, and you fortunately are in the right frame of mind to take care of business. The 23rd brings golden career opportunities. Money matters that have to do with domestic affairs, real estate, and creative projects are very strong. Your decorating sense is also high, and you are likely in the mood for a home “makeover”. Watch for overextending yourself on the 25-27, when rest is more appropriate.

Venus is retrograde from March 6-April 17. As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are periods during which we re-assess whatand whowe value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well. Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past. Events occur that seem fated or pre-destined. It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period of time. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored. Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle. However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. For singles, this is a good time for “eyes wide open” or experimental dating. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to complete them, or some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. This period is good for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends in April.

Until the 11th, retrograde Venus travels through your solar sixth house of work, health, and habits. In addition to the general cautions outlined above, the social aspect of relationships on the job may be strained for the time being. Do your best not to let people get to you. Put off beautification processes during this cycle. Your partnership sector is ruled by Venus, and you could find some challenges relating to a spouse or close partner. With Venus ruling your privacy sector, you could also be dealing with past actions or karma.

From the 11-17, retrograde Venus dips back into your solar fifth house. You may feel you are on shaky ground in the romance department. You don’t need to share all your feelings with a lover right now, and you shouldn’t jump to conclusions if your lover needs a little space.

Venus moves through your solar sixth house from the 1-11, and then the 24th forward. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now. With Venus retrograde until the 17th, however, some complications in these areas of life may arise, urging you to re-assess matters rather than forge ahead, after which these matters becoming increasingly clearer and more straightforward.

Venus conjunct Mars in Pisces in your solar fifth house from the 20-22 indicates a potent period for creativity, romance, or sexuality.

Mercury continues to transit your work and health sector until the 9. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You might also enjoy analyzing different health or nutrition programs. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment–and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the “little things” that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output this month.

Mercury enlivens your partnership sector from the 9-30. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You will seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mental abilities. You may attract a younger person into your life.

Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house until the 22. During this cycle, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into actively pursuing a rewarding love life, social amusement, and pleasure in general. You have a likeable, competitive, and almost flamboyant temperament during this transit. There is a stronger desire for creative endeavors, athletics, risk-taking pursuits, and perhaps some gambling if inclined.

Mars energizes your solar sixth house from the 22. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It’s a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.

Highlights:

April 4-5 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

April 13-14 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind.

April 25-26 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor.

The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:

March 2009: Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

March

Overview.

Until the 20, the Sun continues to illuminate your solar fifth house, where it feels right at home! The Sun is the natural ruler of the fifth house, and this transit points to a playful, mostly happy period of the year. It’s a time when you are more inclined to “play”–a good period for letting your hair down and revealing your “inner child”. Drama, however big or small, tends to appeal now, and your mind is on your hobbies, romance, pleasure, and children. How do you entertain yourself and others? This is a strong period for discovering what gives you the most pleasure. You enjoy feedback from others more than usual, but you do prefer to be the center of attention. It’s a generous, pleasantly emotional, and creative period.

The Sun illuminates your sixth house this month from the 20. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. Its a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now. It’s time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn’t work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

You’re moving towards a more playful and fun frame of mind in March, dear Scorpio. Romantic surprises are likely around the 12-13 and 21-23. There could also be surprising turns of events surrounding creative projects, children, and family matters during these periods. Invitations to go out and have some fun should be grabbed. While love matters do pick up pace, some care is necessary when it comes to a close partnership. You might find that a partner is a little distant or hard to reach this month. These matters will clear up mid-April, and simply require you to be patient and understanding. The 10th brings your obligations to friends or groups to light. Going over past errors or problems is likely on the job.

This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs for the most part in your solar sixth house of work, health, and habits. In addition to the general cautions outlined above, the social aspect of relationships on the job may be strained for the time being. Do your best not to let people get to you. Put off beautification processes during this cycle. Your partnership sector is ruled by Venus, and you could find some challenges relating to a spouse or close partner. With Venus ruling your privacy sector, you could also be dealing with past actions or karma.

Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house this month. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now. With Venus retrograde from the 6th forward, however, some complications in these areas of life may arise, urging you to re-assess matters rather than forge ahead.

Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house until the 8. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it’s a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now. Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

Mercury transits your solar fifth house from the 8-25. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation, and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong. Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle.

Mercury transits your work and health sector from the 25. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You might also enjoy analyzing different health or nutrition programs. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment–and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the “little things” that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output this month.

Mars continues to move through your fourth house until the 15, energizing your domestic life and relationships with family. This might express itself as more activity on the home front. You could literally apply your energy to working around the house, for example. Or, you might find that there is a lot of hustle and bustle in your home. Energized interaction with family is also very possible now, and this can be positive or negative, depending on how the energy is handled! You are slightly more defensive and certainly more protective than usual during this period. You might engage in arguments with, or on behalf of, those closest to you.

Mars energizes your solar fifth house from the 15. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic.
Highlights:

March 1-2 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

March 5-7 Venus stations and turns retrograde on March 6th. Venus will stay retrograde until April 17th–a period in which we re-assess our love relationships and finances. During this station, be particularly cautious in your dealings with people dear to you, as well as with money. Postpone major beauty treatments as well. See Venus Retrograde for more information about this cycle.

March 7-8 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

March 10 A Full Moon occurs today in Virgo in your solar eleventh house. You’ve been focusing on what brings you pleasureyour hobbies, romantic activities, and so forth. Now you realize that the role you play in others’ lives (as a spouse, parent, friend) is an important element in your overall happiness. You’re looking for validation from friends and group activities now. You may be called upon to perform a humanitarian gesture. For example, a friend may experience a little crisis and asks for your help. You may suddenly find yourself around many people, perhaps after a period of relative solitude or private time.

March 14-15 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

March 16-17 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

March 24-25 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

March 26 New Moon in Aries in your solar sixth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on April 24. The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful.

March 28-29 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:

February 2009: Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

February

Overview.

Until the 18, the Sun puts a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This position of the Sun represents a yearly “nesting” phase. You tend to concentrate your vital force on self-nurturing as well as nurturing those close to you. During this period, your inner, spiritual world is more important to you than mundane achievements–and necessarily so. It’s a time to honor your roots, stabilize your home life, and build the connections you have with family. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner.

The Sun illuminates your fifth house from the 18. After a period of nesting, you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors! You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are–when your “inner child” comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life–not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

The year 2009 brings much contentment on the home front for you, dear Scorpio, but that doesnt mean you wont be busy in this area of life! In fact, this month, activities in and around your home and involving family occupy much of your time. Events and circumstances occurring around the 9th give you a cosmic push to handle professional matters, and to review or change your career goals. On a moments notice, you are called to perform. It’s best to keep your cool and do whatever you can to show your competence.

A Lunar Eclipse occurs on the 9th in Leo. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from February 2-16th.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 9th stimulates your solar tenth house and is in your sign. Surprises surrounding career and reputation matters may be in store. Something that has been “in hiding” or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest, for example, as a career change or challenge that you didn’t expect, a surprise revelation from a co-worker or boss, a new promotion or career direction dropped into your lap, and other such possibilities.

Venus journeys through your work and health sector from the 4. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Mercury transits your third house, where it feels right at home, until the 14. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It’s a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.

Mercury transits your solar fourth house from the 14. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it’s a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now. Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

Mars energizes your fourth house from the 4. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, re-decorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related–you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

Highlights:

February 2-3 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

February 8-9 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

February 9 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Leo in your tenth house. You are suddenly in the limelighteveryone notices you now. It’s time to put your best foot forward, but be sure to do so with grace and consideration for others, or you may just make a display that you regret later. Perhaps you’ve been hiding yourself away, taking it easy. Now you need a little attention, and career matters come to a head. You’re called to perform, perhaps on a moment’s notice, and it’s best to keep your cool and do whatever you can to show your competence. A sudden job opportunity, or some form of assistance with regards to career, home, or property matters, could be part of the picture. This can also produce an event that requires you to take charge and show your responsible side.

February 14-15 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

February 16-18 This is a good period for close personal relationships, personal finances, and work matters for you.

February 17-18 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

February 24 New Moon in Pisces in your solar fifth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on March 26. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.

February 24-25 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:

January 2009: Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

January

Overview.

Until the 19, the transiting Sun illuminates your solar third house. This is the time of year when you are especially busy with all sorts of “little things”, more communicative, and more apt to be living in the mind. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections. Activities related to communications such as journalism, literature, speaking, etc., may figure more prominently in your life now than at other points in the year. Increased involvement with siblings, students, classmates, or neighbors may also figure. You invest much importance in your immediate environment now. This could also be a time of mental restlessness. The pace of your life may be a bit hectic now, and if you’re not used to it, it could make you a tad nervous. You are more inclined to seek a broad understanding of people and of your immediate environment. Concentrating on listening, connecting, communicating, and learning is your best bet now.

The Sun is spotlighting your house of family and home from the 19, and these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front. Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship to your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself, so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing your inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself–to fill your well, so to speak.

The year begins with a scuffle of activity, learning, and communicating, dear Scorpio. Tending to errands, handling paper work, and networking are important matters now. For you, 2009 will be a banner year for family, home, and domestic matters, and youll begin to feel this energy towards the end of January. Opportunities to expand, develop, and derive more enjoyment from your family and home life crop up. Some of you will be moving into a bigger home and/or welcoming new additions to your family. A surprising romantic or creative opportunity arises on the 23rd.

Mercury is retrograde from January 11 to February 1. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused. Occurring in your solar third and fourth houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to composing letters, emails, phone calls, and family relations. Be as non-judgmental as you can with family members. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go wrong, you might have trouble getting from point A to point B (example, transportation problems), emails or letters get lost, and so forth. Idle chit-chatting during this period may have repercussions! People might be misunderstanding your words. You may be forgetful during this cycle, and it makes sense to allow yourself extra time to get to appointments, if they are not cancelled in the first place! It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.

A Solar Eclipse occurs on the 26th in early Aquarius. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from January 19-26th.

The Solar Eclipse on the 26th marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar fourth house, suggesting a new approach to domestic affairs, home, and family. A new set-up in an existing home or a new home altogether may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your domestic routines, comfort, and feeling of security. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your need for a solid foundation–a place to return to when the rest of the world is getting on your nerves.

Venus graces your solar fifth house from the 3. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It’s natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn’t be a problem–in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Mercury transits your solar fourth house this month, until the 21 when it dips back into your solar third. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it’s a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now. Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle. From January 11th forward, however, rethinking these matters is more appropriate. You might experience delays and misunderstandings in these areas.

Mars continues to energize your solar third house this month. Your communication style tends to be sharper, more direct and to the point, and it may be hard for you to bite your tongue when you see something that is amiss in your environment! As long as you direct these energies toward challenging mental tasks or work and avoid rushing and pushing your way through traffic, or provoking arguments over trifles, this position can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).

Highlights:

January 1-2 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

January 5-6 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

January 10 A Full Moon occurs today in Cancer in your solar ninth house. Your attention to the logical world of reason has been a focus in the last two weeks. Now you feel a crisis of lack. Your personal beliefs may be tested now. Your impulses and faith matter, and all of the attention you’ve been giving to mundane affairs has you wondering when you’re going to have some fun. You want to take a leap of faith now. Your adventurous side pushes up and out, demanding attention.

January 10-12 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until February 1st–a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.

January 12-13 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

January 18-19 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

January 21-22 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

January 21-22 Romantic fun and pleasant excitement is in store now. For you, a partnership is imbued with a feeling of newness.

January 26 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius in your solar fourth house affects you now and for the next 3-6 months. Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it’s an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities.

January 28-29 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:

December 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

December

Overview.

The Sun highlights your second house this month, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you right now, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don’t have come into focus–what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value. This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good. This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig your heels in and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.

Venus continues to warm your solar first house until the 9. During this trend, a strong desire for companionship and sociability dominates. You want to maintain peace and harmony at all costs. You try to be just and fair when making decisions, as you do your best to see both sides of an issue. Women are likely to enter your life, helping or hindering personal or business affairs. You prefer the company of others, rather than going it alone. Others notice and perhaps admire you for your pleasant and cheerful personality. This is good for your ego, endowing greater self-esteem and an excellent opinion of yourself. This renewed popularity increases success, for you have the tact and diplomacy to deal with people well. Attention is placed on personal appearance. You are more bold in your love nature, yet not aggressive either. You make friends easily during this cycle, and you are especially fond of loving and admiring feedback! Artistic self-expression is important, possibly through music, clothing or writing.

From the 9, Venus moves through your solar second house. Financial matters are spotlighted now, and you may experience a mix of social and financial activities during this cycle. Financial increases may very well come from the use of diplomacy and charm, through women, or you might be the recipient of gifts now. You are certainly more attracted, at this time, to the good things in life, including luxury or comfort items, and you might have the urge to splurge on them now. However, you are also very aware of the pleasure of feeling secure or of having a healthy bank account, which can balance things out in this respect.

Highlights:

November 30-December 1 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

December 6-7 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

December 13-14 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:

November 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

November

Overview.

The Sun illuminates your first house this month, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the height of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It’s a great month to do something entirely new and pioneeringto go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature pushes up and out, and it’s time to seize opportunities. Problems in your life may be overcome by bravery, self-assertion, and directness. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It’s not the best time for team work and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It’s time to carve your own path in life.

Until the 15th, Venus continues to move through your privacy sector. Matters of the heart touch you deeply. You may willingly play a supportive role to a partner, offering him or her more compassion and selfless love. If a romance were to begin during this period, it would likely be a private or even secret one. What you don’t know might just be helping you right now, because what’s happening behind your back is moving in your favor and all will come out happily when your dreams become a reality soon enough.

Venus graces your solar first house from the 15. You could find it hard to deny yourself anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likeable now.

Mercury works its way through your first house from the 3-22. This is a cycle in which you tend to talk more readily, particularly about your own personal likes and dislikes or your personal past. Your demeanor is light-hearted and curious, and others might turn to you for advice, as you appear to be more rational than usual. This is the time of year when you can most easily use the power of words to attract what you want for yourself.

From the 22, Mercury moves through your solar second house. This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.

Mar

s animates and energizes your solar tenth house from the 7th, bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. You possess more ambition and willingness to come out on top. You could find that your talents or services are especially in demand now. Courage, ambition, energy, enterprise, force, emotional involvement, business acumen, and a strong drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You love to see practical results for your efforts, take pride in a job well done, and love to show off your leadership skills. Try not to let your enterprising nature get interpreted as aggressiveness or insensitivity. As well, you may be on the confrontational side for the time being.

Highlights:

November 9-10 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

November 18-19 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:

October 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

October

Overview.

This month, the Sun travels through your twelfth house, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have–to things, people, and routines–and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It’s not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it’s a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.

Venus continues to journey through your solar eleventh house until the 22, where she enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are likely to enjoy a strong feeling of happiness and solidarity in friendship, or with groups of like-minded individuals. You are more peace-loving and obliging than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy. The tendency to gloss over problems, or to avoid responsibilities, when it comes to friendships may be in place during this transit.

Venus graces your solar twelfth house from the 22. Selfless love is the theme with this transit. It is a time when merging with another person appeals, and this can be expressed as discontent or spiritual longing, or you might express your love in ways that truly are selfless. Sometimes themes of this transit include dealing with private matters of the heart or affairs, unrequited love, or longing for something that cannot manifest in real terms. Matters of the heart touch you deeply. You may play a supportive role to a partner, offering him or her more compassion and selfless love. If a romance were to begin during this period, it would likely be a private or even secret one. Try to be content with whatever it is that you don’t know, as it may very well be helping you out.

Mar

s continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house this month, making this a fabulous time for promoting your ideas and beliefs, although coming on too strong could work against you. If you can’t travel, you’ll feel like doing so, or at least travel in your mind, simply because you have a great urge to expand your horizons in some manner. Energies invested in recreation, travel, or simply cooking up great new ideas are well spent and serve to refresh and renew your vitality. Creative projects can flourish with enlarged focus and redoubled efforts that somehow don’t tire you out. Big, ambitious, adventurous ideas can come to you in a rush during this cycle, propelled by the urge to do something you’ve never done before.

Highlights:

October 6-7 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

October 13-14 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

October 19-20 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

October 29-30 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:

September 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

September

Overview.

The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. It’s a sociable sector of your chart, and that’s exactly how you are feeling–happy, lighthearted, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time. This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you’re attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.

Mercury is retrograde from September 7-29 this month. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused. Occurring in your solar eleventh house this time, extra care should be used when communicating with friends. You may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily become sticky. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may be uncommunicative or giving off mixed signals. On the other hand, old acquaintances may appear during this cycle. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends and co-workers during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.

Venus graces your solar tenth house from the 4-28. You are more socially ambitious than usual during this cycle. Attention is drawn to your professional manner or your personal relationships become more public. More opportunities to socialize and network could present themselves now, or circumstances are such that you need to draw upon your diplomacy skills in order to advance.

Venus graces your solar eleventh house from the 28, where she enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are likely to enjoy a strong feeling of happiness and solidarity in friendship, or with groups of like-minded individuals.

If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.

Big, ambitious, adventurous ideas can come to you in a rush during this cycle, propelled by the urge to do something you’ve never done before.

Highlights:

September 4-5 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others!

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:

August 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

August

Overview.

This month, the Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your “place” or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle. You want to shine. Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.

Venus journeys through your intimacy sector until the 9. During this cycle, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through harmonious sexual relationships, friendships, and business interests. You attract others like bees to honey now, and you favor a partner who is intelligent, with a somewhat mysterious flair about them. A financial boost is likely, or you may gain financially through your partner. Your social circle may include people who are interested in mysteries or those who are engaged in some form of psychological work. A deep personal connection and intimate exchange can be healing, replenishing, and soothing to your soul. This is a good time to work on resolving grievances, differences in values, or money problems in a close relationship. There are also apt to be favorable developments regarding shared assets, jointly owned property, borrowing money, or repaying loans to the satisfaction of all concerned. You are likely to get both the financial backing and the emotional support you need to succeed. On a more personal level, intimate relationships are intensified. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

Venus graces your solar ninth house from the 9. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don’t seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn’t consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life–who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.

Until the 9th, Mercury is in your solar tenth house, suggesting that your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing. Your mental qualities are well suited to managerial posts and any work requiring communication skill and executive ability during this cycle. Financial security, professional prestige, and social status are the dominant mental issues for the time being. Career planning strategies or thinking of concrete ways to turn your dreams into realities as well as sharing your thoughts on these matters with a few significant others should be very fruitful now. It is a good time to communicate with someone in a position to help you achieve your aspirations.

Mercury transits your solar eleventh house from the 9. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit–you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts. As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.

Mars energizes your solar eighth house this month, and your personal, intimate life speeds up. You experience every situation intensely and deeply during this cycle, even though your outward actions do not necessarily reveal this fact. You could find yourself attracted to mysterious or even dangerous situations. Sometimes this transit correlates with disputes over money. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support. Circumstances in life are likely to occur that require you to take the lead or to apply personal action in connection with joint finances.

Highlights:

August 1-2 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

August 8-9 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

August 13-14 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

August 28-29 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:

July 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

July

Overview.

This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.

Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector until the 14. To a very marked degree, your general well-being and emotional health depend on sound and meaningful relationships–both social and romantic during this cycle. Financial prosperity or social success may come through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It’s not about you right now–it’s about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.

Venus journeys through your intimacy sector from the 14. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house until the 8th. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interest and to where our thoughts are for the time being. You take a keener interest in all that lies below the surface during this period. Mystery and intrigue appeals to you. Your mind may be working like that of a detective, uncovering information and analyzing motives. Others may be investigating you in some manner. This is a period of strategizing. Mulling over shared resources and finances, or negotiations involving them, could also figure now.

Mercury transits your solar ninth house from the 8-22. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the “big picture” rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

Mercury is in your solar tenth house from the 22, suggesting that your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing. Your mental qualities are well suited to managerial posts and any work requiring communication skill and executive ability during this cycle. Financial security, professional prestige, and social status are the dominant mental issues for the time being. Career planning strategies or thinking of concrete ways to turn your dreams into realities as well as sharing your thoughts on these matters with a few significant others should be very fruitful now. It is a good time to communicate with someone in a position to help you achieve your aspirations.

Mars continues to move through your partnership sector until the 26, although the drama of this position is definitely easing, as Mars is now past an opposition to your Sun. With Mars in the seventh house, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative in active co-operation with others as associates or in partnerships of some kind. You can be aggressive and forceful in intimate relationships, or your partner may be displaying these traits. It is important to be restrained in all dealings with associates, business partners, and intimate partners. If you are too aggressive or dominant now, there is danger of trouble and loss through public opposition, unpopularity, damaged relationships, or even litigation in rare cases. This cycle tests your ability to resolve interpersonal conflicts. Remember that anger is often a mask for hurt feelings. There’s bound to be a lot of friction or push and pull as you strive to balance your style and agenda with another’s.

Mars energizes your intimacy sector from the 26. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

Highlights:

July 2-3 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

July 4-5 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

July 12-13 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

July 23-24 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

July 29-30 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:

June 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

June

Overview.

This month, the Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic “junk” or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life’s secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year’s events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Venus continues to journey through your work and health sector until the 16. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Venus transits your solar seventh house from the 16. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections–very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house until the 22, this time in direct motion so that its energy is more straightforward. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You will seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mental abilities. You may attract a younger person into your life.

Mercury transits your solar eighth house from the 22. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing. Research is also highly favored. It’s also easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.

Mars continues to energize your work and health sector until the 14, bringing increased energy and enterprise to your work and health programs. You are especially energetic when it comes to getting things done. You tend to want to pioneer or lead on the job front during this cycle, and it’s best to find ways to do so. Otherwise, you might become frustrated and impatient easily, or get involved with tensions between yourself and co-workers or employees. Try not to pay attention to co-workers’ slow methods now–that will only serve to frustrate you. Apply your increased energy to working hard and really making a dent in the jobs you have to do.

Mars energizes and activates your solar seventh house from the 14. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or adversaries may be challenging. Use this energy to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone’s help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle–full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.

Highlights:

June 5-6 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

June 7-8 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

June 19-20 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

June 22 New Moon in Cancer in your solar eighth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on July 21. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of otherswhat makes them tickas well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

June 25-26 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:

May 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

May

Overview.

This month, the Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”. You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It’s important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

Occurring in your solar seventh house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations and one-on-one communications. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do some damage if you (or your partner) focus on words said instead of the meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, do your best to be as non-judgmental as possible, and don’t over-react to what your partner has to say either. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it’s a good cycle in which to improve your negotiation skills. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house until the 14th. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child–a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Venus transits your work and health sector from the 14. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Mars energizes and activates your solar sixth house from the 5. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It’s a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.

Highlights:

May 8-9 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

May 11-12 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

May 18-19 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

May 23-24 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

May 24 New Moon in Gemini in your solar seventh house affects you now and until the next New Moon on June 22. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public.

May 29-30 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:

April 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

April

Overview.

The Sun illuminates your sixth house this month. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. Its a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now. It’s time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn’t work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

This month, the Venus Retrograde cycle occurs in your solar fifth house of romance, pleasure, speculation, and children (until the 17th). Because the cycle directly affects your sector of romance and speculation, you should be especially wary of jumping into arguments with a lover and taking a risk gambling. You may feel you are on shaky ground in the romance department. You don’t need to share all your feelings with a lover right now, and you shouldn’t jump to conclusions if your lover needs a little space. Your partnership sector is ruled by Venus, and you could find some challenges relating to a spouse or close partner. With Venus ruling your privacy sector, you could also be dealing with past actions or karma.

Venus continues to move through your solar fifth house this month. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child–a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama! With Venus retrograde until the 17th, however, some complications in these areas of life may arise, urging you to re-assess matters rather than forge ahead, after which matters become increasingly clearer and more straightforward.

Venus conjunct Mars in Pisces in your solar fifth house from the 20-22 indicates a potent period for creativity, romance, or sexuality.

Mercury continues to transit your work and health sector until the 14. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You might also enjoy analyzing different health or nutrition programs. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment–and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the “little things” that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output this month.

Mercury enlivens your partnership sector from the 14. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You will seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mental abilities. You may attract a younger person into your life.

Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house this month. During this cycle, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into actively pursuing a rewarding love life, social amusement, and pleasure in general. You have a likeable, competitive, and almost flamboyant temperament during this transit. There is a stronger desire for creative endeavors, athletics, risk-taking pursuits, and perhaps some gambling if inclined.

Highlights:

April 11-12 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

April 21-22 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

April 24 New Moon in Taurus in your solar sixth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on May 24. The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:

March 2009: Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

March

Overview.

The Sun illuminates your fifth house this month. After a period of nesting, you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors! You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are–when your “inner child” comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life–not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house until the 23. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now. Venus dips back into your playful fifth house after the 23, inspiring the need for warm relations with lovers and/or children. With Venus retrograde from the 6th forward, however, some complications in these areas of life may arise, urging you to re-assess matters rather than forge ahead.

Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house until the 14. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it’s a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now. Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

Mercury transits your solar fifth house from the 14-31. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation, and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong. Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle.

Mars continues to move through your fourth house until the 27, energizing your domestic life and relationships with family. This might express itself as more activity on the home front. You could literally apply your energy to working around the house, for example. Or, you might find that there is a lot of hustle and bustle in your home. Energized interaction with family is also very possible now, and this can be positive or negative, depending on how the energy is handled! You are slightly more defensive and certainly more protective than usual during this period. You might engage in arguments with, or on behalf of, those closest to you.

Mars energizes your solar fifth house from the 27. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic.
Highlights:

March 2-3 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

March 8-9 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

March 15-16 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

March 17-18 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

March 26 New Moon in Aries in your solar fifth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on April 24. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.

March 29-30 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:

February 2009: Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

February

Overview.

The Sun is spotlighting your house of family and home this month, and these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front. Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship to your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself, so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing your inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself–to fill your well, so to speak.

Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house until the 17. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child–a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Venus journeys through your work and health sector from the 17. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Mercury transits your third house, where it feels right at home, until the 23. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It’s a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.

Mercury transits your solar fourth house from the 23. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it’s a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now. Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

Mars continues to energize your solar third house until the 17. Your communication style tends to be sharper, more direct and to the point, and it may be hard for you to bite your tongue when you see something that is amiss in your environment! As long as you direct these energies toward challenging mental tasks or work and avoid rushing and pushing your way through traffic, or provoking arguments over trifles, this position can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).

Mars energizes your fourth house from the 17. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, re-decorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related–you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

Highlights:

February 9-10 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

February 15-16 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

February 16-18 This is a good period for close personal relationships, personal finances, and work matters for you.

February 18-19 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

February 24 New Moon in Pisces in your solar fourth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on March 26. Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it’s an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities.

February 25-26 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:

January 2009: Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

January

Overview.

The Sun is illuminating your communications sector this month, suggesting “busy-ness” and movement. You are exploring and searching now, making connections, and paying attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is emphasized during this period, and is for the most part light-hearted. Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle. You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are a different country. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking. Rather, it’s a time of little adventures close to home. Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful now, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Mercury is retrograde from January 11 to February 1. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused. Occurring in your solar third house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to composing letters, emails, making phone calls, and with communications in general. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go wrong, you might have trouble getting from point A to point B (example, transportation problems), emails or letters get lost, and so forth. Idle chit-chatting during this period may have repercussions! People might be misunderstanding your words. You may be forgetful during this cycle, and it makes sense to allow yourself extra time to get to appointments, if they are not cancelled in the first place! It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.

The Solar Eclipse on the 26th marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar third house, suggesting a new approach to communications projects, learning, or self-expression. A new position in the neighborhood, relocation, or increased interaction with others may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to the way you handle your daily activities. This is a phase in which you have an increased awareness of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It’s a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy.

Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house until the 12. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with good taste and quality. An inner sense of peace and security prevails. Your affections are strong but you don’t wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.

Venus graces your solar fifth house from the 12. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It’s natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn’t be a problem–in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Mercury transits your solar third house this month. Mercury is right at home in the third house, and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however. Also, “information overload” is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now, and perhaps scattered. It’s an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. From January 11th forward, however, rethinking these matters is more appropriate. You might experience delays and misunderstandings in these areas.

Mars continues to journey through your second house until the 9. During this cycle, you are inclined to exert energy and initiative into making money and business dealings. You can be more resourceful than usual at this time, but you could also be inclined to rash decisions or risk-taking with money. Circumstances in life are likely to create a situation where you may have to take the lead in handling personal finances. You may be placed in a position where you have to make important monetary decisions yourself. If you have a business, it will be difficult to avoid spending lavishly on equipment and office supplies. A young man or an assertive type of individual may come up with challenging offers and new suggestions. You are more motivated to make money now. At the root of this is likely to be a quest for a sense of personal freedom.

Mars energizes your solar third house from the 9. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result. Channeled well, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others. More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions may become heated, or they may escalate into arguments, more easily. If this is the case, it’s likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas. A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it’s wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time to work on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.

Highlights:

January 2-3 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

January 6-7 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

January 19-20 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

January 21-22 Romantic fun and pleasant excitement is in store now. For you, a partnership is imbued with a feeling of newness.

January 26 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius in your solar third house affects you now and for the next 3-6 months. The third house rules our communication skills, learning, methods, daily interactions and contact, and general “busy-ness”. This is a favorable time for learning something new, feeling at ease in social situations, taking care of the details of daily life, and developing a mental rapport with others. It is a time when you will be more aware of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It’s a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy.

January 29-30 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

December 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

December

Overview.

Until the 11, the Sun illuminates your first house, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It’s a great period for doing something entirely new and pioneeringto go solo in some area of your life. You are in the position to make an impression on others. You have presence and you project confidence.

The Sun highlights your second house from the 11, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you right now, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don’t have come into focus–what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value. This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good. This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig your heels in and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.

Venus continues to warm your solar first house until the 17. During this trend, a strong desire for companionship and sociability dominates. You want to maintain peace and harmony at all costs. You try to be just and fair when making decisions, as you do your best to see both sides of an issue. Women are likely to enter your life, helping or hindering personal or business affairs. You prefer the company of others, rather than going it alone. Others notice and perhaps admire you for your pleasant and cheerful personality. This is good for your ego, endowing greater self-esteem and an excellent opinion of yourself. This renewed popularity increases success, for you have the tact and diplomacy to deal with people well. Attention is placed on personal appearance. You are more bold in your love nature, yet not aggressive either. You make friends easily during this cycle, and you are especially fond of loving and admiring feedback! Artistic self-expression is important, possibly through music, clothing or writing.

From the 17, Venus moves through your solar second house. Financial matters are spotlighted now, and you may experience a mix of social and financial activities during this cycle. Financial increases may very well come from the use of diplomacy and charm, through women, or you might be the recipient of gifts now. You are certainly more attracted, at this time, to the good things in life, including luxury or comfort items, and you might have the urge to splurge on them now. However, you are also very aware of the pleasure of feeling secure or of having a healthy bank account, which can balance things out in this respect.

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house this month, and turns retrograde on the 20th. Typically with Mars in the ninth, it is a good time for promoting your ideas and beliefs, although coming on too strong could work against you. If you can’t travel, you’ll feel like doing so, or at least travel in your mind, simply because you have a great urge to expand your horizons in some manner. Energies invested in recreation, travel, or simply cooking up great new ideas are well spent and serve to refresh and renew your vitality. Creative projects can flourish with enlarged focus and redoubled efforts that somehow don’t tire you out. Big, ambitious, adventurous ideas can come to you in a rush during this cycle, propelled by the urge to do something you’ve never done before. With Mars turning retrograde this month, however, it’s a time of questioning your zeal for all of these matters, as you might be experiencing a sudden lack of energy or enthusiasm in these areas of your life. For you, enthusiasm for higher education, travel, your personal philosophy, or adventure in general may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Some projects may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in adventurous ways. Your outlook on life in terms of the “bigger picture” could be more cautious, and you might find that you temporarily have less faith. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. Challenges with these areas of life are more likely while Mars is retrograde, beginning December 20th and extending into the new year (until March 10th, 2010). Your focus remains in this area of life, but caution and perhaps anxiety or confusion begin to dominate. You might feel less confident or you could simply feel more cautious now.

Highlights:

December 1-2 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

December 2 A Full Moon occurs today in Gemini in your solar seventh house. The New Moon was all about you. Now it’s time to strike a balance with an “other”. The seventh house represents an important one-to-one relationship–a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It’s time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another. It’s time to compromise and negotiate. Partnership “tests” are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.

December 7-8 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

December 16-17 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

December 23-24 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

December 28-29 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

December 31 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Cancer in your solar eighth house. The effects of this eclipse can last 3-6 months. This Full Moon is all about give and take. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people’s needs and comfort levels. It’s a good time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise. You may be in a position wherein you are forced to make a financial settlement or large outlay of cash; or, you may find that you are leaned upon for support, financial or otherwise.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

November 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

November

Overview.

Until the 12, the Sun continues to “hibernate” in your solar twelfth house. This is a time when you recharge your batteries, rest up, reflect, and perhaps close matters that have run their natural course. During this cycle, resolving subconscious influences or matters from the past are important when it comes to achieving a real sense of fulfilment. You might withdraw from the hustle and bustle of daily life on instinct, perhaps in an attempt to get to know yourself, your goals, and your needs better. This is an imaginative, perhaps dreamy, time of the year. Some may indulge in self-pity at this time, but as long as they pull strength from it, it might simply be a healthy process. You need time alone now in order to sort things out and to avoid overload!

The Sun illuminates your first house from the 12, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the height of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It’s a great month to do something entirely new and pioneeringto go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature pushes up and out, and it’s time to seize opportunities. Problems in your life may be overcome by bravery, self-assertion, and directness. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It’s not the best time for team work and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It’s time to carve your own path in life.

Until the 23, Venus continues to move through your privacy sector. Matters of the heart touch you deeply. You may willingly play a supportive role to a partner, offering him or her more compassion and selfless love. If a romance were to begin during this period, it would likely be a private or even secret one. What you don’t know might just be helping you right now, because what’s happening behind your back is moving in your favor and all will come out happily when your dreams become a reality soon enough.

Venus graces your solar first house from the 23. You could find it hard to deny yourself anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likeable now.

Mercury works its way through your first house from the 9-29. This is a cycle in which you tend to talk more readily, particularly about your own personal likes and dislikes or your personal past. Your demeanor is light-hearted and curious, and others might turn to you for advice, as you appear to be more rational than usual. This is the time of year when you can most easily use the power of words to attract what you want for yourself.

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house this month, making this a fabulous time for promoting your ideas and beliefs, although coming on too strong could work against you. If you can’t travel, you’ll feel like doing so, or at least travel in your mind, simply because you have a great urge to expand your horizons in some manner. Energies invested in recreation, travel, or simply cooking up great new ideas are well spent and serve to refresh and renew your vitality. Creative projects can flourish with enlarged focus and redoubled efforts that somehow don’t tire you out. Big, ambitious, adventurous ideas can come to you in a rush during this cycle, propelled by the urge to do something you’ve never done before.

Highlights:

November 2 A Full Moon occurs today in Taurus in your solar sixth house. Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you–even if it’s a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you’ve been toying with in your mind. This may also be a time when a work project comes to fruition or completion.

November 3-4 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

November 10-11 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

November 16-17 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

November 19-20 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

November 26-27 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

October 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

October

Overview.

The Sun continues to illuminate your solar eleventh house until the 13–a more sociable time of the year for you. This is a rather happy, goal-oriented, and cosmopolitan in attitude cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you’re attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is strong. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Making friendly contact with others, in general, is probable. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children (especially other people’s children) might increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. Towards the 13th, you begin to require a bit of down time, and that’s natural after a busy month.

From the 13, the Sun travels through your twelfth house, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have–to things, people, and routines–and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It’s not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it’s a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.

Venus moves through your solar tenth house until the 6. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities and charm to your professional life. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You may be relying heavily on your diplomacy skills at this time.

Venus journeys through your solar eleventh house from the 6-30, where she enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are likely to enjoy a strong feeling of happiness and solidarity in friendship, or with groups of like-minded individuals. You are more peace-loving and obliging than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy. The tendency to gloss over problems, or to avoid responsibilities, when it comes to friendships may be in place during this transit.

Mar

Highlights:

October 2-3 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

October 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Aries in your solar fifth house. You want to have fun, and the demands of your larger goals in life may have been eclipsing your pleasure-seeking activities. It can be hard to find time for everything you want to do, but without creative self-expression (be it romantic or playful), you simply won’t feel complete. It’s time to do something self-expressive, fun, and creative. You may be required to complete a creative project at this time. You could feel an overwhelming need to pour your heart out to a lover, or a romantic affair reaches some sort of epiphany. There could be a whirlwind of activity surrounding your child or children.

October 7-8 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

October 20-21 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

October 22-23 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

October 30-31 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others!

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

September 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

September

Overview.

Until the 12th, the Sun continues to spotlight your career and public sector. Focus is on what you do, how you do it, and what you accomplish. Do whatever you can to adopt a serious approach to business because you are in the spotlight. A time when practical vision may be at a high, during which you can see what needs to be done and just how to go about doing it. Career and vocational issues may benefit from the increased clarity you possess.　 Much of your energy will be applied to vocational achievement, professional success, and leadership during this cycle. The desire for some form of recognition and financial success is stronger than any other time of the year.

The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true from the 12. It’s a sociable sector of your chart, and that’s exactly how you are feeling–happy, lighthearted, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time. This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you’re attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.

Mercury is retrograde from September 7-29 this month. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused. Occurring in your solar eleventh house this time, extra care should be used when communicating with friends. You may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily become sticky. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may be uncommunicative or giving off mixed signals. On the other hand, old acquaintances may appear during this cycle. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends and co-workers during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.

Venus continues to move through your adventure sector until the 12. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life–who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.

Venus graces your solar tenth house from the 12. You are more socially ambitious than usual during this cycle. Attention is drawn to your professional manner or your personal relationships become more public. More opportunities to socialize and network could present themselves now, or circumstances are such that you need to draw upon your diplomacy skills in order to advance.

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar eighth house until the 27th, and your personal, intimate life speeds up. You experience every situation intensely and deeply during this cycle, even though your outward actions do not necessarily reveal this fact. You could find yourself attracted to mysterious or even dangerous situations. Sometimes this transit correlates with disputes over money. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support. Circumstances in life are likely to occur that require you to take the lead or to apply personal action in connection with joint finances.

Highlights:

September 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Pisces in your solar fourth house. The last two weeks have found you working hard towards your career goals and other public matters. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It’s time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself. A home, family, or property matter could grab your complete attention at this time.

September 5-6 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

September 10-11 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

September 16-17 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

September 25-26 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

August 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

August

Overview.

Until the 12th, the Sun continues to illuminate your adventure sector. Your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.

From the 12, the Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your “place” or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle. You want to shine. Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.

Venus journeys through your intimacy sector until the 18. During this cycle, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through harmonious sexual relationships, friendships, and business interests. You attract others like bees to honey now, and you favor a partner who is intelligent, with a somewhat mysterious flair about them. A financial boost is likely, or you may gain financially through your partner. Your social circle may include people who are interested in mysteries or those who are engaged in some form of psychological work. A deep personal connection and intimate exchange can be healing, replenishing, and soothing to your soul. This is a good time to work on resolving grievances, differences in values, or money problems in a close relationship. There are also apt to be favorable developments regarding shared assets, jointly owned property, borrowing money, or repaying loans to the satisfaction of all concerned. You are likely to get both the financial backing and the emotional support you need to succeed. On a more personal level, intimate relationships are intensified. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

Venus graces your solar ninth house from the 18. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don’t seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn’t consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life–who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.

Until the 16, Mercury is in your solar tenth house, suggesting that your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing. Your mental qualities are well suited to managerial posts and any work requiring communication skill and executive ability during this cycle. Financial security, professional prestige, and social status are the dominant mental issues for the time being. Career planning strategies or thinking of concrete ways to turn your dreams into realities as well as sharing your thoughts on these matters with a few significant others should be very fruitful now. It is a good time to communicate with someone in a position to help you achieve your aspirations.

Mercury transits your solar eleventh house from the 16. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit–you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts. As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.

Mars continues to energize your solar seventh house until the 10, although the drama of this position is definitely easing, as Mars is now past an opposition to your Sun. With Mars in the seventh house, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative in active co-operation with others as associates or in partnerships of some kind. You can be aggressive and forceful in intimate relationships, or your partner may be displaying these traits. It is important to be restrained in all dealings with associates, business partners, and intimate partners. If you are too aggressive or dominant now, there is danger of trouble and loss through public opposition, unpopularity, damaged relationships, or even litigation in rare cases. This cycle tests your ability to resolve interpersonal conflicts. Remember that anger is often a mask for hurt feelings. There’s bound to be a lot of friction or push and pull as you strive to balance your style and agenda with another’s.

Mars transits your intimacy sector from the 10, and your personal, intimate life speeds up. You experience every situation intensely and deeply during this cycle, even though your outward actions do not necessarily reveal this fact. You could find yourself attracted to mysterious or even dangerous situations. Sometimes this transit correlates with disputes over money. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support. Circumstances in life are likely to occur that require you to take the lead or to apply personal action in connection with joint finances.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

July 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

July

Overview.

Until the 12th, the Sun continues to spotlight your intimacy sector. With the considerable energy of the Sun in your solar eighth house, much of your energy will be applied to deeply personal and transformative matters. The use of power is highlighted in some way during this cycle. Will-power, strategy, and financial ability are accentuated now. Something may be lost, so that something else is gained. This can be a time for getting down to business and of stripping away and discarding nonessentials. You can separate the wheat from the chaff, concentrating on important things. The Sun is energizing and spotlighting all that comes under the reign of the eighth house: transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

From the 12, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.

Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector until the 23. To a very marked degree, your general well-being and emotional health depend on sound and meaningful relationships–both social and romantic during this cycle. Financial prosperity or social success may come through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It’s not about you right now–it’s about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.

Venus journeys through your intimacy sector from the 23. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house until the 13. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interest and to where our thoughts are for the time being. You take a keener interest in all that lies below the surface during this period. Mystery and intrigue appeals to you. Your mind may be working like that of a detective, uncovering information and analyzing motives. Others may be investigating you in some manner. This is a period of strategizing. Mulling over shared resources and finances, or negotiations involving them, could also figure now.

Mercury transits your solar ninth house from the 13-28. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the “big picture” rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

Mercury is in your solar tenth house from the 28, suggesting that your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing. Your mental qualities are well suited to managerial posts and any work requiring communication skill and executive ability during this cycle. Financial security, professional prestige, and social status are the dominant mental issues for the time being. Career planning strategies or thinking of concrete ways to turn your dreams into realities as well as sharing your thoughts on these matters with a few significant others should be very fruitful now. It is a good time to communicate with someone in a position to help you achieve your aspirations.

Mars continues to move through your partnership sector this month. With Mars in the seventh house, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative in active co-operation with others as associates or in partnerships of some kind. You can be aggressive and forceful in intimate relationships, or your partner may be displaying these traits. It is important to be restrained in all dealings with associates, business partners, and intimate partners. If you are too aggressive or dominant now, there is danger of trouble and loss through public opposition, unpopularity, damaged relationships, or even litigation in rare cases. This cycle tests your ability to resolve interpersonal conflicts. Remember that anger is often a mask for hurt feelings. There’s bound to be a lot of friction or push and pull as you strive to balance your style and agenda with another’s.

Highlights:

July 3-4 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

July 5-6 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

July 13-14 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

July 17-18 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

July 30-31 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

June 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

June

Overview.

Until the 10, the Sun continues to illuminate your solar seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. You seem to need a partner or good friend with whom you can bounce ideas off. A partner is a catalyst for you to discover and develop your own self, and to realize your own potential. During this time, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with what would be best for a significant other. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”. You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they also are drawing upon you a great deal. It’s important to give others credit and recognition, and to attempt to harmonize and include others rather than to go solo for the time being.

From the 10, the Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic “junk” or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life’s secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year’s events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Venus continues to journey through your work and health sector until the 25. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Venus transits your solar seventh house from the 25. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections–very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house until the 28, this time in direct motion so that its energy is more straightforward. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You will seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mental abilities. You may attract a younger person into your life.

Mars continues to energize your work and health sector until the 28, bringing increased energy and enterprise to your work and health programs. You are especially energetic when it comes to getting things done. You tend to want to pioneer or lead on the job front during this cycle, and it’s best to find ways to do so. Otherwise, you might become frustrated and impatient easily, or get involved with tensions between yourself and co-workers or employees. Try not to pay attention to co-workers’ slow methods now–that will only serve to frustrate you. Apply your increased energy to working hard and really making a dent in the jobs you have to do.

Mars energizes and activates your solar seventh house from the 28. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or adversaries may be challenging. Use this energy to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone’s help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle–full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.

Highlights:

June 8-9 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

June 15-16 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others!

June 20-21 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

May 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

May

Overview.

Until the 10, the Sun continues to spotlight your work and health sector. You take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. Its a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. You may be drawn into some form of service that will bring deep personal satisfaction. At this time, you seek perfection and distinction in your work and this quality bring you a more responsible position. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn’t work in your life, while also discovering what does. More than any time of the year, you are conscious of your mental and physical health, daily routines, everyday working life, and your working methods.

From the 10, the Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”. You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It’s important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house until the 26. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child–a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Venus transits your work and health sector from the 26. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Mars energizes and activates your solar sixth house from the 18. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It’s a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.

Highlights:

May 2-3 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

May 9-10 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

May 19-20 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others!

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

April 2009 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

April

Overview.

Until the 9, the Sun illuminates your romance and pleasure sector. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors now. You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether others appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are–when your “inner child” comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life–not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

The Sun illuminates your sixth house from the 9. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. Its a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now. It’s time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn’t work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

Venus conjunct Mars in Pisces in your solar fifth house from the 20-22 indicates a potent period for creativity, romance, or sexuality.

Mercury transits your work and health sector from the 4-20. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You might also enjoy analyzing different health or nutrition programs. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment–and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the “little things” that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output this month.

Mercury enlivens your partnership sector from the 20. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You will seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mental abilities. You may attract a younger person into your life.

Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house until the 9, energizing your domestic life and relationships with family. This might express itself as more activity on the home front. You could literally apply your energy to working around the house, for example. Or, you might find that there is a lot of hustle and bustle in your home. Energized interaction with family is also very possible now, and this can be positive or negative, depending on how the energy is handled! You are slightly more defensive and certainly more protective than usual during this period. You might engage in arguments with, or on behalf of, those closest to you.

Mars energizes your solar fifth house from the 9. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic.

Highlights:

April 5-6 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

April 12-13 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

April 14-15 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

April 22-23 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

April 26-27 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

March 2009: Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

March

Overview.

Until the 10, the Sun continues to highlight your solar fourth house–a cycle in which home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride. It’s a time when worldly matters are not as important to you. Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heartwarming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner.

The Sun illuminates your fifth house this month from the 10. After a period of nesting, you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors! You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are–when your “inner child” comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life–not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs in your solar fifth house of romance, pleasure, speculation, and children. Because the cycle directly affects your sector of romance and speculation, you should be especially wary of jumping into arguments with a lover and taking a risk gambling. You may feel you are on shaky ground in the romance department. You don’t need to share all your feelings with a lover right now, and you shouldn’t jump to conclusions if your lover needs a little space. Your partnership sector is ruled by Venus, and you could find some challenges relating to a spouse or close partner. With Venus ruling your privacy sector, you could also be dealing with past actions or karma.

Venus continues to move through your solar fifth house this month. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child–a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama! With Venus retrograde from the 6th forward, however, some complications in these areas of life may arise, urging you to re-assess matters rather than forge ahead.

Mercury transits your solar fourth house from the 2-20. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it’s a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now. Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

Mercury transits your solar fifth house from the 20. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation, and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong. Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle.

Mars activates your solar fourth house from the 2. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, re-decorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related–you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.
Highlights:

March 9-10 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

March 18-19 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

March 25-26 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

March 30-31 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

February 2009: Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

February

Overview.

Until the 8, the transiting Sun illuminates your solar third house. This is the time of year when you are especially busy with all sorts of “little things”, more communicative, and more apt to be living in the mind. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections. Activities related to communications such as journalism, literature, speaking, etc., may figure more prominently in your life now than at other points in the year. Increased involvement with siblings, students, classmates, or neighbors may also figure. You invest much importance in your immediate environment now. This could also be a time of mental restlessness. The pace of your life may be a bit hectic now, and if you’re not used to it, it could make you a tad nervous. You are more inclined to seek a broad understanding of people and of your immediate environment. Concentrating on listening, connecting, communicating, and learning is your best bet now.

The Sun is spotlighting your house of family and home from the 8, and these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front. Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship to your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself, so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing your inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself–to fill your well, so to speak.

Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house this month. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child–a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Mercury transits your third house, where it feels right at home, this month. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It’s a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.

Highlights:

February 3-4 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

February 16-17 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

February 16-18 This is a good period for close personal relationships, personal finances, and work matters for you.

February 26-27 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

January 2009: Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

January

Overview.

Until the 10, the Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most “financial” period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now. You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when “comfort zones” are more important to you than usual–you value the familiar.

The Sun is illuminating your communications sector from the 10, suggesting “busy-ness” and movement. You are exploring and searching now, making connections, and paying attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is emphasized during this period, and is for the most part light-hearted. Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle. You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are a different country. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking. Rather, it’s a time of little adventures close to home. Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful now, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Mercury is retrograde from January 11 to February 1. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused. Occurring in your solar third house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to composing letters, emails, making phone calls, and with communications in general. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go wrong, you might have trouble getting from point A to point B (example, transportation problems), emails or letters get lost, and so forth. Idle chit-chatting during this period may have repercussions! People might be misunderstanding your words. You may be forgetful during this cycle, and it makes sense to allow yourself extra time to get to appointments, if they are not cancelled in the first place! It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.

Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house until the 23. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with good taste and quality. An inner sense of peace and security prevails. Your affections are strong but you don’t wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.

Venus graces your solar fifth house from the 23. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It’s natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn’t be a problem–in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Mars continues to journey through your second house until the 22. During this cycle, you are inclined to exert energy and initiative into making money and business dealings. You can be more resourceful than usual at this time, but you could also be inclined to rash decisions or risk-taking with money. Circumstances in life are likely to create a situation where you may have to take the lead in handling personal finances. You may be placed in a position where you have to make important monetary decisions yourself. If you have a business, it will be difficult to avoid spending lavishly on equipment and office supplies. A young man or an assertive type of individual may come up with challenging offers and new suggestions. You are more motivated to make money now. At the root of this is likely to be a quest for a sense of personal freedom.

Mars energizes your solar third house from the 22. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result. Channeled well, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others. More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions may become heated, or they may escalate into arguments, more easily. If this is the case, it’s likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas. A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it’s wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time to work on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.

Highlights:

January 7-8 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

January 13-14 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

January 20-21 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

January 21-22 Romantic fun and pleasant excitement is in store now. For you, a partnership is imbued with a feeling of newness.

January 22-23 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

January 30-31 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
