December 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December
Overview.
Until the 21st, 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 21st, 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.
Dear Scorpio, the message you’re giving to others in December is finally very clear – and very attractive! You are coming across especially well, with few rough edges, and others are certainly taking note. You are more approachable, and a relationship is coming back on track. Finally, the ambiguous signals are leaving and both you and a partner can get the clarity you need to move forward. In December, there can be some pressure to make decisions, or to speak about a matter, rather prematurely around mid-month. There may be the need for brutal honesty. Do what you can to take the time you need before arriving at important conclusions. Changes in your financial arrangements may be in store in the second half of December.
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on December 21st, 2010, at 29 degrees Gemini. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after 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 14th to 28th. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it’s better to take in right now–to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 21st stimulates your solar eighth house. Surprises surrounding intimate matters, shared finances and resources, or financial support 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 as, for example, the need to make a financial settlement or large payment, the paying off of a loan, the loss of financial support, a change in your spouse’s status (or ex-spouse’s status if child support or alimony is given), a circumstance that calls for you to support someone, and other such possibilities. Do your best to avoid letting emotions overrule good judgment when it comes to spending or financial matters.
Mercury is retrograde from December 10-30th, 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 second and third houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives, composing letters, emails, and phone calls, as well as communicating with neighbors and siblings. Back up your computer and allow sufficient time for delays or transportation mishaps when going for appointments. As well, it would be wise to choose your words carefully. What you say or write can too easily be misinterpreted during this period. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues regarding personal finances. Take this time to re-budget instead of making premature purchases. Hold off on decision-making regarding money. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything important for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers, neighbors, and acquaintances, or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Venus continues to grace your solar first house this month. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It’s a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You’re more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness. You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now.
Mars energizes your solar third house from the 7th. 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. Channelled well, however, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case in some manner. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others now. More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions might more readily become heated or they might escalate into arguments. 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 for working on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.
Lunar Cycles & Stations For You This Month:
December 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.
December 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.
December 5 A New Moon in Sagittarius in your solar second house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on January 4th. 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 9-11 Mercury is stationary now, turning retrograde on December 10th, and will remain retrograde until December 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.
December 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.
December 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.
December 21 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Gemini in your solar eighth house. This Lunar Eclipse can influence you for 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.
December 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.
December 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. 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:
November 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
November
Overview.
Until the 22nd, the Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it’s a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects. You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don’t take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.
The Sun highlights your second house from the 22nd forward, 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.
It’s a strong month for personal influence, dear Scorpio, particularly after the 18th, when you come across more smoothly and warmly. You can tackle challenges and problems more effectively than usual. Watch the impact you have on others now, which is considerable, and make any tweaks necessary to improve the impression you make going forward. Romance improves considerably. A partner or lover is easier to understand in the second half of the month. The 21st brings relationship issues to light. Your creative juices flow more smoothly and reliably in November. Energy to make more money is very strong now. You don’t take kindly to anyone telling you how to manage your finances, however, and this attitude could stir up some conflicts.
Venus is retrograde from October 8th to November 18th. This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs mostly in your sign, affecting your first house of personal appearance and mannerisms. This cycle will affect the personal image you project to others. Others are likely to misunderstand what you do and say, and misread your body language. Others may not be seeing you in the most favorable of light, and events may be such that you feel the need to rethink the way you present yourself. You may be coming across in a harsher, even militant manner without even realizing it. Try to keep things status quo with regards to your love life. Don’t worry if a lover isn’t quite “getting” you for the time being. Things will change once Venus turns direct. Your partnership sector is ruled by Venus, and you could find some challenges relating to a spouse or close partner. Past lovers may figure strongly in your life now. With Venus ruling your privacy sector, you could also be dealing with past actions or karma. It’s time to redefine what (and possibly who) it is that you desire.
From November 7th, Venus backs up into Libra, and your privacy sector. From the 7-18, you might be in a more private frame of mind regarding love and money matters. It’s a period of review and getting in touch with your deepest feelings. Venus returns to your sign on the 29th, this time in direct motion, bringing much attractive energy into your life.
Mercury continues to move through your solar first house until the 8th. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
Mercury transits your solar second house from the 8th forward. 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.
Mars continues to energize your solar second house all month. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
Lunar Cycles & Stations For You This Month:
November 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.
November 6 A New Moon in Scorpio in your solar first house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on December 5th. 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 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.
November 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.
November 17-19 Venus stations and turns direct on November 18th. Relationship, love, and money matters gradually become clearer and more straightforward over the coming weeks. During this period, take it easy in these areas of life until we begin to see clearly what and who we value. See Venus Retrograde for more information about this cycle.
November 17-19 Jupiter stations and turns direct on November 18th. Personal and professional goals become clearer and more straightforward over the coming weeks. For you, financial matters also begin to clear up and move ahead.
November 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.
November 21 A Full Moon occurs today in late 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 26-27 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:
October 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October
Overview.
Until the 23rd, the Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now. Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signalling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
The Sun illuminates your first house from the 23rd forward, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. 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 surfaces, and it’s time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life. 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.
While you are keeping others at an emotional distance this month, dear Scorpio, you are charged up and ready to pursue your goals. Work is demanding, and you could be facing many deadlines. Stay on top of things. There is no easy road right now. A past love could reappear, or you could be facing some feelings of destiny or fate in your partnerships. Others have your interests in mind and are especially drawn to you, however complicated feelings can be right now. Receipt of money owed to you or a borrowed item can occur in the last week of the month. Job offers can fall into your lap in October. The last week of the month brings stronger energy for pushing forward with personal plans and projects.
Venus is retrograde from October 8th to November 18th. This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs mostly in your sign, affecting your first house of personal appearance and mannerisms. This cycle will affect the personal image you project to others. Others are likely to misunderstand what you do and say, and misread your body language. Others may not be seeing you in the most favorable of light, and events may be such that you feel the need to rethink the way you present yourself. You may be coming across in a harsher, even militant manner without even realizing it. Try to keep things status quo with regards to your love life. Don’t worry if a lover isn’t quite “getting” you for the time being. Things will change once Venus turns direct. Your partnership sector is ruled by Venus, and you could find some challenges relating to a spouse or close partner. Past lovers may figure strongly in your life now. With Venus ruling your privacy sector, you could also be dealing with past actions or karma. It’s time to redefine what (and possibly who) it is that you desire.
Mercury moves through your solar twelfth house from the 3-20. 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 getting 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 of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mercury moves through your solar first house from the 20th forward. This is a period in which you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual–more observant, and more inclined to “live in the head”. Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now. It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity. This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures. Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
Mars continues to activate your solar first house until the 28th, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general. This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and to take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive. You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
Mars energizes your solar second house from the 28th forward. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones. You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.
Lunar Cycles & Stations For You This Month:
October 3-4 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 7-9 Venus stations and turns retrograde on October 8th. Venus will stay retrograde until November 18th–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.
October 7 A New Moon in Libra in your solar twelfth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on November 5th. 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 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.
October 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.
October 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.
October 22 A Full Moon occurs today in late Aries in your solar sixth house. Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent if that’s how you are feeling right now. 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.

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 30-31 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.

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:
September 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September
Overview.
Until the 22nd, the Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now. You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From the 22nd, 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.
A personally popular month is in store for you, dear Scorpio. You are easily making connections, and your attitude is upbeat. Until the 14th, you continue to take time when it comes to setting goals and going after what you want, however. You are getting in touch with what it is you desire. After the 14th, clarity comes. You experience increased energy and motivation for setting personal plans into motion. For those looking for work, job offers might arrive. Any misunderstandings with friends are likely to clear from the 12th. From the 8th, personal magnetism runs exceptionally high. A partner has your best interests at heart. New intuition or insights come to you around the 18th regarding romance and creativity. Surprises are in store. For some of you, unusual and exciting romantic experiences are possible. You are inclined to take chances on creative or romantic levels. Something might inspire you to try out a new creative hobby or adventure altogether. Your impulses tend to be right on the mark. Others feel your enthusiasm and tend to follow your lead. From the 22nd, you require a little more time alone to regroup.
Mercury is retrograde from August 20th to September 12th. 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.
In 2010, Jupiter conjuncts Uranus on June 8th and September 18th. This exciting aspect occurred in your solar sixth house in June and occurs in your solar fifth house in September. It’s a time when the need for progressive change suddenly becomes apparent. We might take risks (perhaps, but not necessarily, foolish ones) for the sake of freedom under the Jupiter-Uranus influence. We can open ourselves up to new ways of thinking now. However, we could also too easily avoid taking responsibility for things that truly matter. We’re open to new energies, approaches, and attitudes. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of our willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. We are feeling brave, positive, and optimistic. This month, impulsiveness and/or new insights or surprises can come in areas ruled by the fifth house, such as romance, creativity, children, and hobbies or recreation. For some of you, unusual and exciting romantic experiences are possible. You are inclined to take chances on creative or romantic levels. Something might inspire you to try out a new creative hobby or adventure, for example.
Venus continues to grace your solar twelfth house until the 8th. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it’s possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn’t be a problem — it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From the 8th, Venus journeys through your solar first house. 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.
Until the 14th, Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs. The lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
Mars energizes your solar first house from the 14th, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general. This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and to take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive. You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
Lunar Cycles & Stations For You This Month:
September 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.
September 8 A New Moon in Virgo in your solar eleventh house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on October 7th. 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 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.
September 11-13 Mercury is stationary now, turning direct on September 12th. 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.
September 13 Pluto is stationary now, turning direct today. In the coming weeks and even months, your personal plans, the way you approach the world in general, and communications and learning activities begin to move forward and regain momentum.
September 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. 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 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.
September 23 A Full Moon occurs today in early Aries in your solar sixth house. Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent if that’s how you are feeling right now. 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.
September 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 October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
August 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August
Overview.
Until the 23rd, the Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar tenth house. Satisfaction and fulfillment during this cycle come from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person, and contributing to the world in practical ways. You might have a chance to receive acknowledgement or praise for your work or good character now. Landing support from authority figures is easier at this time. Avoid the pitfalls of pride or arrogance standing in your way of success.
The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true from the 23rd. It’s a sociable sector of your chart, and that’s exactly how you are feeling–happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. 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 (especially others’ children) may 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.
While career matters are very busy and dynamic this month, dear Scorpio, your personal life is also rich. A private romance is possible, or an awakening of feelings about a past relationship occurs this month. Perhaps you become aware of a past responsibility that you now want to fulfill. You are taking charge on the job, and while changes in duties and responsibilities are still looming, you are feeling good about your position. Work is competitive, but you might find that it’s more stimulating this way and pushing you to work more creatively. Power games are no fun, however, and these should be avoided as much as possible. Be especially mindful of your communications with friends and groups this month, as something said (or not said) could come back to haunt you after the 20th. From the 23rd forward, there is more focus on your social life and less on responsibilities and work. The 24th brings great creative energy, as well as the possibility of a blooming romance.
Mercury is retrograde from August 20th to September 12th. 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 transit your solar eleventh house until the 6th. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside, lowering your defenses, and simply enjoying people. It’s a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won’t enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
Venus is spending some time in “hibernation” in your privacy sector from the 6th forward. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration.
However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mars transits your solar twelfth house this month. This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you–and this is not necessarily a bad thing! It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural–you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.
Dealing with past issues, perhaps some karma, and private matters on the job is also indicated for you while Mars transits your twelfth house (all month).
Lunar Cycles For You This Month:
August 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.
August 9 A New Moon in Leo in your solar tenth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on September 8th. 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 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.
August 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.
August 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.
August 19-21 Mercury is stationary now, turning retrograde on August 20th, and will remain retrograde until September 12th–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.
August 24 A Full Moon occurs today in early 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.
August 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.
August 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 October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
July 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July
Overview.
Until the 22nd, the Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar ninth house. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don’t find ways to explore. It’s an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective–a broader one–whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From the 22nd, 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.
You are feeling quite enthusiastic and hopeful this month, dear Scorpio. Around the 11th, events are such that you see your life from a whole new — and more positive — perspective. Your career is growing and some shuffling around is likely now as priorities change. Make a point of spending time with friends or of being involved in group settings this month, if this doesn’t happen naturally. New ideas and inspiration can be found through your networking efforts. Work is busy but sometimes stressful. While work conditions have been looking especially promising, there are some kinks to work out, but these problems are designed to get you to a more realistic position. Treat added responsibilities as opportunities for future success. Much joy can be found through work in the coming year. Finances are similar. Changes in financial position are likely now, but these ultimately pave the way for increase. Love is mostly friendly in July, although the 8-10 can bring minor disappointments.
A Solar Eclipse occurs on July 11th at 19 degrees Cancer. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after 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 4-18. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it’s better to take in right now–to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse on the 11th 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 continues to move through your solar tenth house until the 10th. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It’s a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It’s a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.
Venus graces your solar eleventh house from the 10th. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It’s a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won’t enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house until the 9th. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.
Mercury transits your solar tenth house from the 9-27. Career matters are busy at this time, and there can be plenty of thoughts and/or conversations about your profession, your reputation, or your social standing during this cycle. It’s a good time to analyze your work tasks and to streamline them or improve your skills. There may be increased contact with the public now, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and acknowledged for your intelligence, skills, capabilities, and ideas.
Mercury moves through your solar eleventh house from the 27th forward. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas. Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it’s a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house until the 29th. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing. You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.
Mars energizes your solar twelfth house from the 29th. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs. The lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
Lunar Cycles For You This Month:
July 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.
July 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.
July 11 A New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer in your solar ninth house occurs now and affects you for 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.

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 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.
July 25 A Full Moon 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.
July 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!

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
June 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
June
Overview.
Until the 21st, the Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eighth house–a transit that began in September. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other’s money, such as the resources of a partner, through inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes. You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more willing to recognize the darker and more challenging aspects of your own personality, and more apt to see these things in others. Emotions tend to run deep right now, and you don’t much like losing or feeling powerless. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.
From the 21st, 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 managing everyday affairs and important details.
Opportunities and new insights come in the areas of work and health this month, dear Scorpio. Some of you will become especially excited and hopeful about a new health and wellness program and this lifts your spirits to new heights, giving you a sense of having a new lease on life. Improvements or other opportunities at or through work can come out of the blue, boosting your confidence and improving your attitude towards your work. The temptation to break out of monotony or other lifeless aspects of a job is strong. Finances look promising.
Jupiter conjuncts Uranus early in the sign of Aries this month. It’s a time when the need for progressive change suddenly becomes apparent. We might take risks for the sake of freedom under the Jupiter-Uranus influence. We can open ourselves up to new ways of thinking now. However, we could also too easily avoid taking responsibility for things that truly matter, or we could be too “me-first” in our approach. We’re open to new energies, approaches, and attitudes. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of our willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. We are feeling brave, positive, and optimistic. For you, opportunities and new insights come in the areas of work or health. Some of you will become especially excited and hopeful about a new health and wellness program and this lifts your spirits to new heights, giving you a sense of having a new lease on life. Improvements or other opportunities at or through work can come seemingly out of the blue, boosting your confidence and improving your attitude towards the work you do. The temptation to break out of monotony or other lifeless aspects of a job is strong, and some of you will be feeling such inner restlessness that you feel you need to make a radical change. It will be wise to take into account practical considerations when making decisions, as the tendency now is to be over-confident rather than realistic. The tendency to take on too much work is also strong. Be careful not to overextend yourself. Finances and domestic matters may play a big role in this process.
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on June 26th at 5 degrees Capricorn and aligns with Pluto. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after 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 19-July 3rd. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it’s better to take in right now–to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Lunar Eclipse on June 26th 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.
Venus continues her journey through your adventure sector until the 14. During this period, you are more self-expressive and adventurous with regards to expressing your affections. 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. Your perceptions of beauty, in general, are broadened and widened now, and this can extend to things that attract you, including objects and ideas. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match.
From the 14, Venus makes its way through your solar tenth house. 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 continues to enliven your partnership sector until the 10th. 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 10-25. 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 25. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interests and where our thoughts are for the time being. You take more interest in the bigger picture rather than details during this period. Educational or philosophical subjects could interest now. Decisions made now are more inclined to take into consideration morals and ethics–not only practical concerns.
Mars animates and energizes your solar eleventh house from the 7th forward. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others’ toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).
Highlights:
June 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! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
June 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.

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 12 A New Moon in Gemini in your solar eighth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on July 11th. 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.

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.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
May 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May
Overview.
Until the 21, the Sun illuminates your solar seventh house, your house of partnerships. Close relationships with others, negotiations, compromise, and one-on-one dealings all are in focus during this cycle. This is the time of year, however, when vitality may be at a low–when you are more likely to catch a cold or to need more sleep, for example. Chances to improve or attract a close partnership abound, however. It’s time to compromise, negotiate, and perhaps let a partner take the lead for a while. Sometimes this transit indicates meeting with authoritative or even bossy people. You are willing to adapt and accommodate. Improving relationships fills a deep personal need and leads to fulfillment.
From the 21, 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.
May is an excellent month for giving your close personal relationships the attention they deserve, dear Scorpio. By mid-month, tensions and communication troubles clear up. A partner is more willing to share himself/herself on deeper, intimate levels. May 13th brings a rush of positive energy to a partnership. It’s a great time for making new resolutions. Finances bring pleasant surprises this month and next, but money could be spent as quickly as they are earned if you are not careful! Your hobbies or sideline work can be especially lucrative this month.
Jupiter opposes Saturn this month, and a tug-of-war occurs between our loftier goals and dreams and with our responsibilities. When we think in big terms, or if we have the urge to expand, we confront obstacles or we are forced to face reality. Some re-structuring of our lives and of our business goals is now in order. We may be looking for new challenges, sometimes because we are forced to do so (because things are not going exactly as we had planned). We have a desire to grow and expand, but our attitude is tempered by some caution and feelings of restriction. There is no “easy fix” just now. It is best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether. Although you might encounter blocks to your plans now, it’s also a good time to revise them in a logical manner. Take steps to grow, but don’t overextend yourself at this time or you are bound to face frustrations. Occurring in your fifth and eleventh houses, this challenge is likely to play out in the areas of friendships, relationships with children, romance, and creative activities.
Venus continues her journey through your intimacy sector until the 19. Intimate connections can be especially rich and meaningful during this cycle. Your magnetism revolves around mysterious fascination rather than outgoing charm. Intensity appeals in your relationships. This can also be a time in which you discover untapped resources or talents. Its a good time to work out money problems or other issues of sharing with a partner. You may get the backing you need now–financial or emotional.
Venus moves through your adventure sector from the 19. During this period, you are more self-expressive and adventurous with regards to expressing your affections. 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. Your perceptions of beauty, in general, are broadened and widened now, and this can extend to things that attract you, including objects and ideas. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match.
Mercury is retrograde from April 18th to May 11th. 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 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. Things will change once Mercury turns direct from the 11th, so you might decide to try to keep status quo until then.
Mars energizes your solar tenth house again this month. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it’s professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.
Highlights:
April 30-May 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.
May 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.
May 10-12 Mercury stations and turns direct on May 11th. 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.
May 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.
May 13 A New Moon in Taurus in your solar seventh house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on June 12th. 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 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.
May 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.
May 27 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.
May 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:
April 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April
Overview.
Until the 20th, 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 20th, 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.
Your career is receiving strong energy this month, dear Scorpio. It’s picking up pace, and professional matters become clearer and more straightforward. You are feeling re-motivated after some confusion and lack of enthusiasm in recent months. Keeping your nose to the grindstone is a good idea now, although you tend to want to take the lead. Relationships are easygoing and satisfying. After the 18th, however, saying what you mean to a special someone could prove difficult, even if your intentions are grand. Special attention to a loved one is in order around the 28th.
Venus moves through your partnership sector from the 1-25. 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.
Venus moves through your intimacy sector from the 25. 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 is retrograde from April 18th to May 11th. 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 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.
Mars is regaining speed and moving through your solar tenth house. You are regaining energy, motivation, and enthusiasm for career efforts and goals. Mars brings dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. 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 perhaps even compulsive drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You always like to see practical results for your efforts and take pride in doing a job correctly, and this is a good cycle in which to show your leadership skills. Don’t, however, let your enterprising nature get interpreted as aggressiveness or insensitivity.
Highlights:
March 31-April 1 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 2-3 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 10-11 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 14 A New Moon in Aries in your solar sixth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on May 13th. 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.
April 15-16 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.
April 17-18 Mercury is stationary turning retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until May 11th–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.
April 21-22 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 28 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.
April 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. 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 30-May 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.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
March 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
March
Overview.
Until the 20th, the Sun continues to spotlight your solar fifth house–a time when pleasure-seeking activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. 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.
The Sun illuminates your sixth house 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.
Work and career matters are starting to move forward for you in March, dear Scorpio. After some months of delays, stalled plans, and perhaps lack of enthusiasm, you are starting to regain confidence, passion, and interest in your work. You can prepare yourself for a busy and active professional life in the next few months. For the first half of the month, however, you are able to take a break from the rigors of competition and pressure, finding more time for recreation. The 15-17 brings pleasurable surprises and attention your way.
Mars continues to retrograde this month until the 10th. It turned retrograde on December 20th and will continue to move in this apparent backward motion until March 10th. 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. Mars’ turnaround on the 10th is not a quick fix. Rather, Mars will slowly regain speed, and over the coming weeks, issues encountered during the retrograde cycle will become clearer, reaching resolution.
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house until the 7. 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 7. 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 solar fifth house from the 1-17. 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 moves through your work and health sector from the 17. 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.
Highlights:
March 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.
March 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.
March 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.
March 15 A New Moon in Pisces in your solar fifth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on April 14th. 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 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.
March 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. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
March 29 A Full Moon occurs today in Libra in your solar twelfth house. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You’ve been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It’s time to balance your life with some down timeotherwise, you simply don’t feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It’s an excellent time to get in touch with what’s been brewing beneath the surface. A secret may be revealed.
March 31-April 1 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 October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
February 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
February
Overview.
Until the 18th, 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 18th. 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.
Challenges with work continue and are unlikely to clear up until mid-March, dear Scorpio. While some of you are encountering difficult circumstances on the job, most of you are experiencing loss of enthusiasm within. You might be going through the motions for the time being. You are sure to regain energy and zeal, as well as a sense of direction, next month. For now, both career and home are demanding, and it’s hard to find a balance. The 13-15 is strong for romance and creativity. February ends on a high note, with more time for recreation from the 18th.
Mars continues to retrograde this month. It turned retrograde on December 20th and will continue to move in this apparent backward motion until March 10th. 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.
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house until the 11. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don’t wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
Venus moves through your solar fifth house from the 11. 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.

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 enters your solar fourth house on the 10 and transits this sector of your chart into March. 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.
Highlights:
February 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.
February 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.
February 14 A New Moon in Aquarius in your solar fourth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on March 15th. 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 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.
February 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.

February 26-27 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 28 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.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
January 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January
Overview.
Until the 20, the Sun highlights your solar third house–a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a “busy bee”. Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. 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.
The Sun is spotlighting your house of family and home from the 20, 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.
Career demands are heavy this month, dear Scorpio. Some decisions or plans may be on hold and projects need to be redone. While you have excellent ideas for projects now, mull them over until a better time for launching them. This year, making money can actually be pleasurable, whether it’s because you are liking what you do more, or monetizing a favorite pastime or hobby. Entertainment and leisure opportunities open up for you this year, starting in January. Your romantic life picks up speed, you’re feeling more creative, and your interests expand.
Mars continues to retrograde this month. It turned retrograde on December 20th and will continue to move in this apparent backward motion until March 10th. 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.

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 until the 15th (it began its retrograde motion on December 26th). 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.
A Lunar Eclipse occurred on the very last day of 2009, on December 31st and at 10 degrees Cancer, and is affecting you this month. A Solar Eclipse occurs this month on January 15th at 25 degrees Capricorn. 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 December 24-January 7th and then January 8-22 [essentially from December 24-January 22].
The Lunar Eclipse on December 31st stimulated your solar ninth house. Surprises surrounding matters of personal philosophy, faith, travel, and the higher mind 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 circumstance that tests your personal belief system or that requires the need to take a leap of faith, a surprising adventure that takes you beyond your normal routine, a sudden opportunity to travel or for higher learning, the publishing of a project you’ve been working on, and other such possibilities.
The Solar Eclipse on the 15th 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.
Jupiter entering Pisces on January 17th is particularly beneficial for you, as Jupiter is now in trine to your Sun and in your creative fifth house–this month for those born very early in the sign of Libra, and starting in February for the rest of you. From now until June, and then again from September 2010 to January 2011, your fair share of fun, romance, and good times are in store. Your willingness to enjoy yourself and explore your creativity now brings new opportunities, or you might find that new avenues open up to you for exploring new ways of having fun. For example, you might meet a new friend who spurs you to go out more, or you could be inspired by someone else’s creative projects and begin a new and rewarding hobby. Creative projects are likely to fare well during this cycle, and could possibly even bring some type of recognition or reward. Love and romance may come into your life or an existing romance is enhanced with good humor and warmth. You might find that possibilities for casual love relationships open up to you now, and some of you could be overwhelmed with choices! Social engagements abound. For singles, meeting a special person is highly likely, although it’s more likely to be a casual relationship. Investments in stocks and other speculative matters could earn profits. Healthy, wise risks are likely to pay off, but be careful of overconfidence in speculative investments. Relationships with your children may be especially fulfilling now. Pregnancy or childbirth may occur during this period, if applicable. This is a fabulous period in which to take a vacation you’ve always wanted to take, to try out a new hobby or creative project/approach, to explore new ways of having fun, to enjoy the single life, and so forth. Those with artistic or athletic talent can be especially successful and prosperous at this time. Your creativity and social life are stimulated this year, and plenty of opportunities to express yourself uniquely and creatively will present themselves. You may find great joy and reward in your creative projects and hobbies. Pleasure-seeking activities, recreation, and amusement are increased. You are far less inhibited when it comes to expressing yourself creatively, and you are a lot more fun to be around! These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of a good thing, and it’s always wise to enjoy a carefree (not careless) attitude.
Venus plays in your solar third house until the 18, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style. During this cycle you are especially charming in your communications with others. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual. Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle. You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction are increased through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
Venus transits your solar fourth house from the 18. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic now. You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere. Loyalty and sensitivity in your relationships are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence–a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
Mars continues in its retrograde motion. It could be a time of questioning your zeal, energy, or enthusiasm. 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.
You might feel less confident or you could simply feel more cautious now. While matters may not appear to be moving quickly or directly, they aren’t necessarily moving backwards either. It’s simply a time of slowing down and reconnecting with your own inner guide.
Highlights:
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.
January 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.
January 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.
January 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.
January 14-16 Mercury stations and turns direct on January 15th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. This is especially appropriate with a Solar Eclipse occurring on the same day! As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.
January 15 A New Moon Solar Eclipse in Capricorn in your solar third house is a powerful influence that affects you for 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 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.
January 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.
January 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.
January 30 A Full Moon occurs today in Leo in your solar tenth house. 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.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
December 2010 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.
Dear Scorpio, the message you’re giving to others in December is finally very clear – and very attractive! You are coming across especially well, with few rough edges, and others are certainly taking note. You are more approachable, and a relationship is coming back on track. Finally, the ambiguous signals are leaving and both you and a partner can get the clarity you need to move forward. In December, there can be some pressure to make decisions, or to speak about a matter, rather prematurely around mid-month. There may be the need for brutal honesty. Do what you can to take the time you need before arriving at important conclusions. Changes in your financial arrangements may be in store in the second half of December.
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on December 21st, 2010, at 29 degrees Gemini. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after 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 14th to 28th. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it’s better to take in right now–to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 21st stimulates your solar eighth house. Surprises surrounding intimate matters, shared finances and resources, or financial support 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 as, for example, the need to make a financial settlement or large payment, the paying off of a loan, the loss of financial support, a change in your spouse’s status (or ex-spouse’s status if child support or alimony is given), a circumstance that calls for you to support someone, and other such possibilities. Do your best to avoid letting emotions overrule good judgment when it comes to spending or financial matters.
Mercury is retrograde from December 10-30th, 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 second house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues regarding personal finances. Take this time to re-budget instead of making premature purchases. Hold off on decision-making regarding money. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything important for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control.
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house until the 16th. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it’s possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn’t be a problem — it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
Venus graces your solar first house from the 16th. 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.
Mars continues to energize your solar second house until the 21st. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
Mars energizes your solar third house from the 21st. 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. Channelled well, however, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case in some manner. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others now. More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions might more readily become heated or they might escalate into arguments. 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 for working on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.
Lunar Cycles & Stations For You This Month:
December 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.
December 5 A New Moon in Sagittarius in your solar second house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on January 4th. 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 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.
December 9-11 Mercury is stationary now, turning retrograde on December 10th, and will remain retrograde until December 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.
December 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.
December 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.
December 21 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Gemini in your solar eighth house. This Lunar Eclipse can influence you for 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.
December 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.
December 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.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
November 2010 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 peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. 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 surfaces, and it’s time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life. 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.
It’s a strong month for personal influence, dear Scorpio, particularly after the 18th, when you come across more smoothly and warmly. You can tackle challenges and problems more effectively than usual. Watch the impact you have on others now, which is considerable, and make any tweaks necessary to improve the impression you make going forward. Romance improves considerably. A partner or lover is easier to understand in the second half of the month. The 21st brings relationship issues to light. Your creative juices flow more smoothly and reliably in November. Energy to make more money is very strong now. You don’t take kindly to anyone telling you how to manage your finances, however, and this attitude could stir up some conflicts.
Venus is retrograde from October 8th to November 18th. This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs mostly in your sign, affecting the personal image you project to others. Others are likely to misunderstand what you do and say, and misread your body language. Others may not be seeing you in the most favorable of light, and events may be such that you feel the need to rethink the way you present yourself. You may be coming across in a harsher, even militant manner without even realizing it. Your partnership sector is ruled by Venus, and you could find some challenges relating to a spouse or close partner. Past lovers may figure strongly in your life now. With Venus ruling your privacy sector, you could also be dealing with past actions or karma. It’s time to redefine what (and possibly who) it is that you desire.
Venus retrograde is in your privacy sector this month. Until the 18th, you might be in a more private frame of mind regarding love and money matters. It’s a period of review and getting in touch with your deepest feelings. Venus returns to your sign on the 29th, this time in direct motion, bringing much attractive energy into your life, and returns to your decanate, bringing even more charm to your manner, on December 16th.
Mercury continues to move through your solar first house until the 15th. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
Mercury transits your solar second house from the 15th forward. 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.
Until the 11th, Mars continues to energize your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general. This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and to take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive. You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
Mars energizes your solar second house from the 11th. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
Lunar Cycles & Stations For You This Month:
November 6 A New Moon in Scorpio in your solar first house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on December 5th. 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 6-7 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:
October 2010 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.
While you are keeping others at an emotional distance this month, dear Scorpio, you are charged up and ready to pursue your goals. Work is demanding, and you could be facing many deadlines. Stay on top of things. There is no easy road right now. A past love could reappear, or you could be facing some feelings of destiny or fate in your partnerships. Others have your interests in mind and are especially drawn to you, however complicated feelings can be right now. Receipt of money owed to you or a borrowed item can occur in the last week of the month. Job offers can fall into your lap in October. The last week of the month brings stronger energy for pushing forward with personal plans and projects.
Venus is retrograde from October 8th to November 18th. This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs mostly in your sign, affecting your first house of personal appearance and mannerisms. This cycle will affect the personal image you project to others. Others are likely to misunderstand what you do and say, and misread your body language. Others may not be seeing you in the most favorable of light, and events may be such that you feel the need to rethink the way you present yourself. You may be coming across in a harsher, even militant manner without even realizing it. Try to keep things status quo with regards to your love life. Don’t worry if a lover isn’t quite “getting” you for the time being. Things will change once Venus turns direct. Your partnership sector is ruled by Venus, and you could find some challenges relating to a spouse or close partner. Past lovers may figure strongly in your life now. With Venus ruling your privacy sector, you could also be dealing with past actions or karma. It’s time to redefine what (and possibly who) it is that you desire. From October 22-November 18, retrograde Venus traverses your privacy sector. Deal with your past so that you can put it behind you, but don’t do it at the expense of your present.
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house until the 9th. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas. Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it’s a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
Mercury moves through your solar twelfth house from the 9-27. 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 getting 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 of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mercury moves through your solar first house from the 27th forward. This is a period in which you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual–more observant, and more inclined to “live in the head”. Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now. It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity. This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures. Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
Mars energizes your solar first house this month, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general. This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and to take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive. You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
Lunar Cycles & Stations For You This Month:
October 3-4 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 7-9 Venus stations and turns retrograde on October 8th. Venus will stay retrograde until November 18th–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.
October 7 A New Moon in Libra in your solar twelfth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on November 5th. 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 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.
October 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.
October 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! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
October 22 A Full Moon occurs today in late Aries in your solar sixth house. Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent if that’s how you are feeling right now. 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 24-25 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 30-31 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:
September 2010 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, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. 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 (especially others’ children) may 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.
A personally popular month is in store for you, dear Scorpio. You are easily making connections, and your attitude is upbeat. Until the 14th, you continue to take time when it comes to setting goals and going after what you want, however. You are getting in touch with what it is you desire. After the 14th, clarity comes. You experience increased energy and motivation for setting personal plans into motion. For those looking for work, job offers might arrive. Any misunderstandings with friends are likely to clear from the 12th. From the 8th, personal magnetism runs exceptionally high. A partner has your best interests at heart. New intuition or insights come to you around the 18th regarding romance and creativity. Surprises are in store. For some of you, unusual and exciting romantic experiences are possible. You are inclined to take chances on creative or romantic levels. Something might inspire you to try out a new creative hobby or adventure altogether. Your impulses tend to be right on the mark. Others feel your enthusiasm and tend to follow your lead. From the 22nd, you require a little more time alone to regroup.
Mercury is retrograde from August 20th to September 12th. 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.
In 2010, Jupiter conjuncts Uranus on June 8th and September 18th. This exciting aspect occurs in your solar fifth house both times. It’s a time when the need for progressive change suddenly becomes apparent. We might take risks (perhaps, but not necessarily, foolish ones) for the sake of freedom under the Jupiter-Uranus influence. We can open ourselves up to new ways of thinking now. However, we could also too easily avoid taking responsibility for things that truly matter. We’re open to new energies, approaches, and attitudes. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of our willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. We are feeling brave, positive, and optimistic. For you, impulsiveness and/or new insights or surprises can come in areas ruled by the fifth house, such as romance, creativity, children, and hobbies or recreation. For some of you, unusual and exciting romantic experiences are possible. You are inclined to take chances on creative or romantic levels. Something might inspire you to try out a new creative hobby or adventure, for example.
Venus continues to grace your solar twelfth house until the 24th. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it’s possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn’t be a problem — it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From the 24th, Venus journeys through your solar first house. 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.
This month, Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs. The lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
Lunar Cycles & Stations For You This Month:
September 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.
September 8 A New Moon in Virgo in your solar eleventh house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on October 7th. 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 11-13 Mercury is stationary now, turning direct on September 12th. 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.
September 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.
September 13 Pluto is stationary now, turning direct today. In the coming weeks and even months, your personal plans, the way you approach the world in general, and money matters begin to move forward and regain momentum.
September 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.
September 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.
September 23 A Full Moon occurs today in early 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.
September 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 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
August 2010 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.
While career matters are very busy and dynamic this month, dear Scorpio, your personal life is also rich. A private romance is possible, or an awakening of feelings about a past relationship occurs this month. Perhaps you become aware of a past responsibility that you now want to fulfill. You are taking charge on the job, and while changes in duties and responsibilities are still looming, you are feeling good about your position. Work is competitive, but you might find that it’s more stimulating this way and pushing you to work more creatively. Power games are no fun, however, and these should be avoided as much as possible. Be especially mindful of your communications with friends and groups this month, as something said (or not said) could come back to haunt you after the 20th. From the 23rd forward, there is more focus on your social life and less on responsibilities and work. The 24th brings great creative energy, as well as the possibility of a blooming romance.
Mercury is retrograde from August 20th to September 12th. 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 transit your solar eleventh house until the 17th. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside, lowering your defenses, and simply enjoying people. It’s a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won’t enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
Venus is spending some time in “hibernation” in your privacy sector from the 17th forward. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration.
However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house until the 15th. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing. You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.
Mars transits your solar twelfth house from the 15th forward. This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you–and this is not necessarily a bad thing! It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural–you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.
Dealing with past issues, perhaps some karma, and private matters on the job is also indicated for you while Mars transits your twelfth house (from the 15th).
Lunar Cycles For You This Month:
August 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.
August 9 A New Moon in Leo in your solar tenth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on September 8th. 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 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.
August 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.
August 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.
August 19-21 Mercury is stationary now, turning retrograde on August 20th, and will remain retrograde until September 12th–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.
August 24 A Full Moon occurs today in early 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.
August 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.
August 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. 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:
July 2010 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 managing everyday affairs and important details.
You are feeling quite enthusiastic and hopeful this month, dear Scorpio. Around the 11th, events are such that you see your life from a whole new — and more positive — perspective. Your career is growing and some shuffling around is likely now as priorities change. Make a point of spending time with friends or of being involved in group settings this month, if this doesn’t happen naturally. New ideas and inspiration can be found through your networking efforts. Work is busy but sometimes stressful. While work conditions have been looking especially promising, there are some kinks to work out, but these problems are designed to get you to a more realistic position. Treat added responsibilities as opportunities for future success. Much joy can be found through work in the coming year. Finances are similar. Changes in financial position are likely now, but these ultimately pave the way for increase. Love is mostly friendly in July, although the 8-10 can bring minor disappointments.
A Solar Eclipse occurs on July 11th at 19 degrees Cancer. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after 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 4-18. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it’s better to take in right now–to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse on the 11th 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 continues to move through your solar tenth house until the 19th. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It’s a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It’s a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.
Venus graces your solar eleventh house from the 19th. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It’s a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won’t enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house until the 15th. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.
Mercury transits your solar tenth house from the 15th forward. Career matters are busy at this time, and there can be plenty of thoughts and/or conversations about your profession, your reputation, or your social standing during this cycle. It’s a good time to analyze your work tasks and to streamline them or improve your skills. There may be increased contact with the public now, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and acknowledged for your intelligence, skills, capabilities, and ideas.
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house this month. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing. You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.
Lunar Cycles For You This Month:
July 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 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 11 A New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer in your solar ninth house occurs now and affects you for 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 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.

July 25 A Full Moon occurs today in Aquarius 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 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!

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
June 2010 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.
Opportunities and new insights come in the areas of work and health this month, dear Scorpio. Some of you will become especially excited and hopeful about a new health and wellness program and this lifts your spirits to new heights, giving you a sense of having a new lease on life. Improvements or other opportunities at or through work can come out of the blue, boosting your confidence and improving your attitude towards your work. The temptation to break out of monotony or other lifeless aspects of a job is strong. Finances look promising.
Jupiter conjuncts Uranus early in the sign of Aries this month. It’s a time when the need for progressive change suddenly becomes apparent. We might take risks for the sake of freedom under the Jupiter-Uranus influence. We can open ourselves up to new ways of thinking now. However, we could also too easily avoid taking responsibility for things that truly matter, or we could be too “me-first” in our approach. We’re open to new energies, approaches, and attitudes. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of our willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. We are feeling brave, positive, and optimistic. For you, impulsiveness and/or new insights or surprises can come in areas ruled by the fifth house, such as romance, creativity, children, and hobbies or recreation. For some of you, unusual and exciting romantic experiences are possible. You are inclined to take chances on creative or romantic levels. Something might inspire you to try out a new creative hobby or adventure, for example.
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on June 26th at 5 degrees Capricorn and aligns with Pluto. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after 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 19-July 3rd. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it’s better to take in right now–to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Lunar Eclipse on June 26th stimulates your solar second house. Surprises surrounding your personal finances and possessions 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 personal finances is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination or fruition of a financial project, an event involving personal possessions that holds your attention, a sudden money-making opportunity, a flurry of activity resulting from a financial matter, and other such possibilities.
Venus continues her journey through your adventure sector until the 22. During this period, you are more self-expressive and adventurous with regards to expressing your affections. 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. Your perceptions of beauty, in general, are broadened and widened now, and this can extend to things that attract you, including objects and ideas. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match.
From the 22, Venus makes its way through your solar tenth house. 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 continues to enliven your partnership sector until the 15th. 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 15-30. 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.
Mars continues to activate and energize your tenth house until the 25th, bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. 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 perhaps even compulsive drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You always like to see practical results for your efforts and take pride in doing a job correctly, and this is a good cycle in which to show your leadership skills. Don’t, however, let your enterprising nature get interpreted as aggressiveness or insensitivity.
Mars animates and energizes your solar eleventh house from the 25th forward. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others’ toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).
Highlights:
June 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! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
June 9-10 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 12 A New Moon in Gemini in your solar eighth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on July 11th. 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.

This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done.

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.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
May 2010 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.
May is an excellent month for giving your close personal relationships the attention they deserve, dear Scorpio. By mid-month, tensions and communication troubles clear up. A partner is more willing to share himself/herself on deeper, intimate levels. May 13th brings a rush of positive energy to a partnership. It’s a great time for making new resolutions. Finances bring pleasant surprises this month and next, but money could be spent as quickly as they are earned if you are not careful! Your hobbies or sideline work can be especially lucrative this month.
Jupiter opposes Saturn this month, and a tug-of-war occurs between our loftier goals and dreams and with our responsibilities. When we think in big terms, or if we have the urge to expand, we confront obstacles or we are forced to face reality. Some re-structuring of our lives and of our business goals is now in order. We may be looking for new challenges, sometimes because we are forced to do so (because things are not going exactly as we had planned). We have a desire to grow and expand, but our attitude is tempered by some caution and feelings of restriction. There is no “easy fix” just now. It is best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether. Although you might encounter blocks to your plans now, it’s also a good time to revise them in a logical manner. Take steps to grow, but don’t overextend yourself at this time or you are bound to face frustrations. Occurring in your fifth and eleventh houses, this challenge is likely to play out in the areas of friendships, relationships with children, romance, and creative activities.
Venus moves through your intimacy sector from the 3-28. Intimate connections can be especially rich and meaningful during this cycle. Your magnetism revolves around mysterious fascination rather than outgoing charm. Intensity appeals in your relationships. This can also be a time in which you discover untapped resources or talents. Its a good time to work out money problems or other issues of sharing with a partner. You may get the backing you need now–financial or emotional.
Venus moves through your adventure sector from the 28. During this period, you are more self-expressive and adventurous with regards to expressing your affections. 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. Your perceptions of beauty, in general, are broadened and widened now, and this can extend to things that attract you, including objects and ideas. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match.
Mercury is retrograde from April 18th to May 11th. 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 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. Things will change once Mercury turns direct from the 11th, so you might decide to try to keep status quo until then.
Mars energizes your solar tenth house again this month. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it’s professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.
Highlights:
May 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.
May 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.
May 10-12 Mercury stations and turns direct on May 11th. 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.
May 13 A New Moon in Taurus in your solar seventh house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on June 12th. 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 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.
May 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.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
April 2010 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.
Your career is receiving strong energy this month, dear Scorpio. It’s picking up pace, and professional matters become clearer and more straightforward. You are feeling re-motivated after some confusion and lack of enthusiasm in recent months. Keeping your nose to the grindstone is a good idea now, although you tend to want to take the lead. Relationships are easygoing and satisfying. After the 18th, however, saying what you mean to a special someone could prove difficult, even if your intentions are grand. Special attention to a loved one is in order around the 28th.
Venus continues to transit your solar sixth house until the 9th. 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 moves through your partnership sector from the 9th. 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 is retrograde from April 18th to May 11th. 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 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.
Mars is regaining speed and moving through your solar tenth house from the 24th. You are regaining energy, motivation, and enthusiasm for career efforts and goals. Mars brings dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. 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 perhaps even compulsive drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You always like to see practical results for your efforts and take pride in doing a job correctly, and this is a good cycle in which to show your leadership skills. Don’t, however, let your enterprising nature get interpreted as aggressiveness or insensitivity.
Highlights:
April 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.
April 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.
April 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.
April 14 A New Moon in Aries in your solar sixth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on May 13th. 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.
April 15-16 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.
April 17-18 Mercury is stationary turning retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until May 11th–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.
April 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.
April 28 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.
April 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. 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:
March 2010 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.
Work and career matters are starting to move forward for you in March, dear Scorpio. After some months of delays, stalled plans, and perhaps lack of enthusiasm, you are starting to regain confidence, passion, and interest in your work. You can prepare yourself for a busy and active professional life in the next few months. For the first half of the month, however, you are able to take a break from the rigors of competition and pressure, finding more time for recreation. The 15-17 brings pleasurable surprises and attention your way.
Mars continues to retrograde this month until the 10th. It turned retrograde on December 20th and will continue to move in this apparent backward motion until March 10th. 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. Mars’ turnaround on the 10th is not a quick fix. Rather, Mars will slowly regain speed, and over the coming weeks, issues encountered during the retrograde cycle will become clearer, reaching resolution.
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house until the 15. 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 15. 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 solar fifth house from the 7-22. 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 moves through your work and health sector from the 22. 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.
Highlights:
March 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.
March 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.
March 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.
March 15 A New Moon in Pisces in your solar fifth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on April 14th. 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 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.
March 26-27 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 29 A Full Moon occurs today in Libra in your solar twelfth house. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You’ve been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It’s time to balance your life with some down timeotherwise, you simply don’t feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It’s an excellent time to get in touch with what’s been brewing beneath the surface. A secret may be revealed.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
February 2010 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.
Challenges with work continue and are unlikely to clear up until mid-March, dear Scorpio. While some of you are encountering difficult circumstances on the job, most of you are experiencing loss of enthusiasm within. You might be going through the motions for the time being. You are sure to regain energy and zeal, as well as a sense of direction, next month. For now, both career and home are demanding, and it’s hard to find a balance. The 13-15 is strong for romance and creativity. February ends on a high note, with more time for recreation from the 18th.
Mars continues to retrograde this month. It turned retrograde on December 20th and will continue to move in this apparent backward motion until March 10th. 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.
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house until the 19. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don’t wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
Venus moves through your solar fifth house from the 19. 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 enters your solar fourth house on the 16 and transits this sector of your chart into March. 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.
Highlights:
February 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.
February 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.
February 14 A New Moon in Aquarius in your solar fourth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on March 15th. 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 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! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
February 20-21 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 26-27 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 28 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.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
January 2010 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.
Career demands are heavy this month, dear Scorpio. Some decisions or plans may be on hold and projects need to be redone. While you have excellent ideas for projects now, mull them over until a better time for launching them. This year, making money can actually be pleasurable, whether it’s because you are liking what you do more, or monetizing a favorite pastime or hobby. Entertainment and leisure opportunities open up for you this year, starting in January. Your romantic life picks up speed, you’re feeling more creative, and your interests expand.
Mars continues to retrograde this month. It turned retrograde on December 20th and will continue to move in this apparent backward motion until March 10th. 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 until the 15th (it began its retrograde motion on December 26th). 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.
A Lunar Eclipse occurred on the very last day of 2009, on December 31st and at 10 degrees Cancer, and is affecting you this month. A Solar Eclipse occurs this month on January 15th at 25 degrees Capricorn. 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 December 24-January 7th and then January 8-22 [essentially from December 24-January 22].
The Lunar Eclipse on December 31st stimulated your solar ninth house. Surprises surrounding matters of personal philosophy, faith, travel, and the higher mind 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 circumstance that tests your personal belief system or that requires the need to take a leap of faith, a surprising adventure that takes you beyond your normal routine, a sudden opportunity to travel or for higher learning, the publishing of a project you’ve been working on, and other such possibilities.
The Solar Eclipse on the 15th 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 plays in your solar third house until the 26, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style. During this cycle you are especially charming in your communications with others. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual. Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle. You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction are increased through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
Venus transits your solar fourth house from the 26. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic now. You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere. Loyalty and sensitivity in your relationships are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence–a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
Mars continues in its retrograde motion. It could be a time of questioning your zeal, energy, or enthusiasm. 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.
You might feel less confident or you could simply feel more cautious now. While matters may not appear to be moving quickly or directly, they aren’t necessarily moving backwards either. It’s simply a time of slowing down and reconnecting with your own inner guide.
Highlights:
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.
January 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.
January 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.
January 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.
January 14-16 Mercury stations and turns direct on January 15th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. This is especially appropriate with a Solar Eclipse occurring on the same day! As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.
January 15 A New Moon Solar Eclipse in Capricorn in your solar third house is a powerful influence that affects you for 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 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! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
January 24-25 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 30 A Full Moon occurs today in Leo in your solar tenth house. 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.
January 30-31 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 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
December 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December
Overview.
Until the 12th, the Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it’s a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects. You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don’t take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.
The Sun highlights your second house from the 12th, 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.
Dear Scorpio, the message you’re giving to others in December is finally very clear – and very attractive! You are coming across especially well, with few rough edges, and others are certainly taking note. You are more approachable, and a relationship is coming back on track. Finally, the ambiguous signals are leaving and both you and a partner can get the clarity you need to move forward. In December, there can be some pressure to make decisions, or to speak about a matter, rather prematurely around mid-month. There may be the need for brutal honesty. Do what you can to take the time you need before arriving at important conclusions. Changes in your financial arrangements may be in store in the second half of December.
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on December 21st, 2010, at 29 degrees Gemini. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after 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 14th to 28th. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it’s better to take in right now–to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 21st stimulates your solar eighth house. Surprises surrounding intimate matters, shared finances and resources, or financial support 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 as, for example, the need to make a financial settlement or large payment, the paying off of a loan, the loss of financial support, a change in your spouse’s status (or ex-spouse’s status if child support or alimony is given), a circumstance that calls for you to support someone, and other such possibilities. Do your best to avoid letting emotions overrule good judgment when it comes to spending or financial matters.
Mercury is retrograde from December 10-30th, 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 second house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues regarding personal finances. Take this time to re-budget instead of making premature purchases. Hold off on decision-making regarding money. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything important for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control.
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house until the 28th. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it’s possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn’t be a problem — it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
Venus graces your solar first house from the 28th. 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.
Mars continues to energize your solar second house this month. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
Lunar Cycles & Stations For You This Month:
December 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.
December 5 A New Moon in Sagittarius in your solar first house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on January 4th. 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.
December 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.
December 9-11 Mercury is stationary now, turning retrograde on December 10th, and will remain retrograde until December 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.
December 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.
December 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.
December 21 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Gemini in your solar eighth house. This Lunar Eclipse can influence you for 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.
December 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. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
December 31-January 1 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 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
November 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
November
Overview.
Until the 12th, the Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now. Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signalling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
The Sun illuminates your first house from the 12th, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. 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 surfaces, and it’s time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life. 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.
It’s a strong month for personal influence, dear Scorpio, particularly after the 18th, when you come across more smoothly and warmly. You can tackle challenges and problems more effectively than usual. Watch the impact you have on others now, which is considerable, and make any tweaks necessary to improve the impression you make going forward. Romance improves considerably. A partner or lover is easier to understand in the second half of the month. The 21st brings relationship issues to light. Your creative juices flow more smoothly and reliably in November. Energy to make more money is very strong now. You don’t take kindly to anyone telling you how to manage your finances, however, and this attitude could stir up some conflicts.
Venus is retrograde from October 8th to November 18th. This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs mostly in your sign, affecting the personal image you project to others. Others are likely to misunderstand what you do and say, and misread your body language. Others may not be seeing you in the most favorable of light, and events may be such that you feel the need to rethink the way you present yourself. You may be coming across in a harsher, even militant manner without even realizing it. Your partnership sector is ruled by Venus, and you could find some challenges relating to a spouse or close partner. Past lovers may figure strongly in your life now. With Venus ruling your privacy sector, you could also be dealing with past actions or karma. It’s time to redefine what (and possibly who) it is that you desire.
Venus retrograde is in your privacy sector this month. Until the 18th, you might be in a more private frame of mind regarding love and money matters. It’s a period of review and getting in touch with your deepest feelings. After the 18th, more clarity comes. Venus returns to your sign on the 29th, this time in direct motion, bringing much attractive energy into your life, and returns to your decanate, bringing even more charm to your manner, on December 28th.
Mercury transits your solar first house from the 2-22. This is a period in which you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual–more observant, and more inclined to “live in the head”. Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now. It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity. This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures. Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
Mercury transits your solar second house from the 22nd forward. 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.
Until the 24th, Mars continues to energize your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general. This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and to take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive. You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
Mars energizes your solar second house from the 24th. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
Lunar Cycles & Stations For You This Month:
October 31-November 1 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 6 A New Moon in Scorpio in your solar twelfth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on December 5th. 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.
November 6-7 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 9-10 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 16-17 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 17-19 Venus stations and turns direct on November 18th. Relationship, love, and money matters gradually become clearer and more straightforward over the coming weeks. During this period, take it easy in these areas of life until we begin to see clearly what and who we value. See Venus Retrograde for more information about this cycle.
November 17-19 Jupiter stations and turns direct on November 18th. Personal and professional goals become clearer and more straightforward over the coming weeks. For you, financial and romantic matters also begin to clear up and move ahead.
November 21 A Full Moon occurs today in late 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 21-22 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 27-28 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.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
October 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October
Overview.
Until the 13th, the Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now. You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From the 13th, 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.
While you are keeping others at an emotional distance this month, dear Scorpio, you are charged up and ready to pursue your goals. Work is demanding, and you could be facing many deadlines. Stay on top of things. There is no easy road right now. A past love could reappear, or you could be facing some feelings of destiny or fate in your partnerships. Others have your interests in mind and are especially drawn to you, however complicated feelings can be right now. Receipt of money owed to you or a borrowed item can occur in the last week of the month. Job offers can fall into your lap in October. The last week of the month brings stronger energy for pushing forward with personal plans and projects.
Venus is retrograde from October 8th to November 18th. This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs mostly in your sign, affecting your personal appearance and mannerisms. This cycle will affect the personal image you project to others. Others are likely to misunderstand what you do and say, and misread your body language. Others may not be seeing you in the most favorable of light, and events may be such that you feel the need to rethink the way you present yourself. You may be coming across in a harsher, even militant manner without even realizing it. Try to keep things status quo with regards to your love life. Don’t worry if a lover isn’t quite “getting” you for the time being. Things will change once Venus turns direct. Your partnership sector is ruled by Venus, and you could find some challenges relating to a spouse or close partner. Past lovers may figure strongly in your life now. With Venus ruling your privacy sector, you could also be dealing with past actions or karma. It’s time to redefine what (and possibly who) it is that you desire. Retrograde Venus traverses your privacy sector. Deal with your past so that you can put it behind you, but don’t do it at the expense of your present.
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house until the 14th. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas. Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it’s a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
Mercury moves through your solar twelfth house from the 14th forward. 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 getting 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 of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house until the 14th. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs. The lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
Mars energizes your solar first house from the 14th forward, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general. This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and to take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive. You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
Lunar Cycles & Stations For You This Month:
October 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.
October 7-9 Venus stations and turns retrograde on October 8th. Venus will stay retrograde until November 18th–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.
October 7 A New Moon in Libra in your solar eleventh house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on November 5th. 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.
October 10-11 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 12-13 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 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! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
October 22 A Full Moon occurs today in late Aries in your solar sixth house. Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent if that’s how you are feeling right now. 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 24-25 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:
September 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September
Overview.
Until the 12th, the Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar tenth house. Satisfaction and fulfillment during this cycle come from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person, and contributing to the world in practical ways. You might have a chance to receive acknowledgement or praise for your work or good character now. Landing support from authority figures is easier at this time. Avoid the pitfalls of pride or arrogance standing in your way of success.
The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true from the 12th. It’s a sociable sector of your chart, and that’s exactly how you are feeling–happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. 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 (especially others’ children) may 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.
A personally popular month is in store for you, dear Scorpio. You are easily making connections, and your attitude is upbeat. Until the 14th, you continue to take time when it comes to setting goals and going after what you want, however. You are getting in touch with what it is you desire. After the 14th, clarity comes. You experience increased energy and motivation for setting personal plans into motion. For those looking for work, job offers might arrive. Any misunderstandings with friends are likely to clear from the 12th. From the 8th, personal magnetism runs exceptionally high. A partner has your best interests at heart. New intuition or insights come to you around the 18th regarding romance and creativity. Surprises are in store. For some of you, unusual and exciting romantic experiences are possible. You are inclined to take chances on creative or romantic levels. Something might inspire you to try out a new creative hobby or adventure altogether. Your impulses tend to be right on the mark. Others feel your enthusiasm and tend to follow your lead. From the 22nd, you require a little more time alone to regroup.
Mercury is retrograde from August 20th to September 12th. 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.
In 2010, Jupiter conjuncts Uranus on June 8th and September 18th. This exciting aspect occurs in your solar fifth house both times. It’s a time when the need for progressive change suddenly becomes apparent. We might take risks (perhaps, but not necessarily, foolish ones) for the sake of freedom under the Jupiter-Uranus influence. We can open ourselves up to new ways of thinking now. However, we could also too easily avoid taking responsibility for things that truly matter. We’re open to new energies, approaches, and attitudes. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of our willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. We are feeling brave, positive, and optimistic. For you, impulsiveness and/or new insights or surprises can come in areas ruled by the fifth house, such as romance, creativity, children, and hobbies or recreation. For some of you, unusual and exciting romantic experiences are possible. You are inclined to take chances on creative or romantic levels. Something might inspire you to try out a new creative hobby or adventure, for example.
Venus graces your solar twelfth house this month. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it’s possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn’t be a problem — it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
This month, Mars energizes your solar twelfth house. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs. The lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.

September 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.

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 8 A New Moon in Virgo in your solar tenth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on October 7th. 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.
September 11-13 Mercury is stationary now, turning direct on September 12th. 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.
September 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.

September 13 Pluto is stationary now, turning direct today. In the coming weeks and even months, your personal plans, the way you approach the world in general, and money matters begin to move forward and regain momentum.
September 15-16 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 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.
September 23 A Full Moon occurs today in early 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.
September 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.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
August 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August
Overview.
Until the 12th, the Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar ninth house. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don’t find ways to explore. It’s an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective–a broader one–whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From the 12th, 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.
While career matters are very busy and dynamic this month, dear Scorpio, your personal life is also rich. A private romance is possible, or an awakening of feelings about a past relationship occurs this month. Perhaps you become aware of a past responsibility that you now want to fulfill. You are taking charge on the job, and while changes in duties and responsibilities are still looming, you are feeling good about your position. Work is competitive, but you might find that it’s more stimulating this way and pushing you to work more creatively. Power games are no fun, however, and these should be avoided as much as possible. Be especially mindful of your communications with friends and groups this month, as something said (or not said) could come back to haunt you after the 20th. From the 23rd forward, there is more focus on your social life and less on responsibilities and work. The 24th brings great creative energy, as well as the possibility of a blooming romance.
Mercury is retrograde from August 20th to September 12th. 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 transit your solar eleventh house until the 27th. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside, lowering your defenses, and simply enjoying people. It’s a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won’t enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
Venus is spending some time in “hibernation” in your privacy sector from the 27th forward. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration.
However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house until the 31st. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing. You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.
Lunar Cycles For You This Month:
August 4-5 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 9 A New Moon in Leo in your solar tenth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on September 8th. 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 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.
August 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.
August 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.
August 19-21 Mercury is stationary now, turning retrograde on August 20th, and will remain retrograde until September 12th–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.
August 24 A Full Moon occurs today in early 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.
August 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.
August 31-September 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.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
July 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July
Overview.
Until the 12th of the month, the Sun highlights your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other’s money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes. You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.
From the 12th, 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 managing everyday affairs and important details.
You are feeling quite enthusiastic and hopeful this month, dear Scorpio. Around the 11th, events are such that you see your life from a whole new — and more positive — perspective. Your career is growing and some shuffling around is likely now as priorities change. Make a point of spending time with friends or of being involved in group settings this month, if this doesn’t happen naturally. New ideas and inspiration can be found through your networking efforts. Work is busy but sometimes stressful. While work conditions have been looking especially promising, there are some kinks to work out, but these problems are designed to get you to a more realistic position. Treat added responsibilities as opportunities for future success. Much joy can be found through work in the coming year. Finances are similar. Changes in financial position are likely now, but these ultimately pave the way for increase. Love is mostly friendly in July, although the 8-10 can bring minor disappointments.
A Solar Eclipse occurs on July 11th at 19 degrees Cancer. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after 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 4-18. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it’s better to take in right now–to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse on the 11th 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 moves through your solar tenth house until the 28th. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It’s a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It’s a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.
Venus graces your solar eleventh house from the 28th. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It’s a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won’t enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house until the 4th. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income. You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don’t verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
Mercury transits your solar ninth house from the 4-21. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.
Mercury transits your solar tenth house from the 21st forward. Career matters are busy at this time, and there can be plenty of thoughts and/or conversations about your profession, your reputation, or your social standing during this cycle. It’s a good time to analyze your work tasks and to streamline them or improve your skills. There may be increased contact with the public now, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and acknowledged for your intelligence, skills, capabilities, and ideas.
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house until the 13th. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility. This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated now and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.
Mars activates your solar eleventh house from the 13th. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing. You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.

July 11 A New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer in your solar ninth house occurs now and affects you for 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.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
June 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
June
Overview.
Until the 11, the Sun illuminates your solar seventh house, your house of partnerships. Close relationships with others, negotiations, compromise, and one-on-one dealings all are in focus during this cycle. This is the time of year, however, when vitality may be at a low–when you are more likely to catch a cold or to need more sleep, for example. Chances to improve or attract a close partnership abound, however. It’s time to compromise, negotiate, and perhaps let a partner take the lead for a while. Sometimes this transit indicates meeting with authoritative or even bossy people. You are willing to adapt and accommodate. Improving relationships fills a deep personal need and leads to fulfillment.
From the 11th, 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.
Opportunities and new insights come in the areas of work and health this month, dear Scorpio. Some of you will become especially excited and hopeful about a new health and wellness program and this lifts your spirits to new heights, giving you a sense of having a new lease on life. Improvements or other opportunities at or through work can come out of the blue, boosting your confidence and improving your attitude towards your work. The temptation to break out of monotony or other lifeless aspects of a job is strong. Finances look promising.
Jupiter conjuncts Uranus early in the sign of Aries this month. It’s a time when the need for progressive change suddenly becomes apparent. We might take risks for the sake of freedom under the Jupiter-Uranus influence. We can open ourselves up to new ways of thinking now. However, we could also too easily avoid taking responsibility for things that truly matter, or we could be too “me-first” in our approach. We’re open to new energies, approaches, and attitudes. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of our willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. We are feeling brave, positive, and optimistic. For you, impulsiveness and/or new insights or surprises can come in areas ruled by the fifth house, such as romance, creativity, children, and hobbies or recreation. For some of you, unusual and exciting romantic experiences are possible. You are inclined to take chances on creative or romantic levels. Something might inspire you to try out a new creative hobby or adventure, for example.
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on June 26th at 5 degrees Capricorn and aligns with Pluto. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after 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 19-July 3rd. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it’s better to take in right now–to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Lunar Eclipse on June 26th stimulates your solar second house. Surprises surrounding your personal finances and possessions 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 personal finances is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination or fruition of a financial project, an event involving personal possessions that holds your attention, a sudden money-making opportunity, a flurry of activity resulting from a financial matter, and other such possibilities.
Venus makes her way through your adventure sector from the 6th. During this period, you are more self-expressive and adventurous with regards to expressing your affections. 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. Your perceptions of beauty, in general, are broadened and widened now, and this can extend to things that attract you, including objects and ideas. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match.
Mercury enlivens your partnership sector from the 3-20. 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.
Mercury transits your solar eighth house from the 20. 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.
Mars continues to activate and energize your tenth house this month, bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. 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 perhaps even compulsive drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You always like to see practical results for your efforts and take pride in doing a job correctly, and this is a good cycle in which to show your leadership skills. Don’t, however, let your enterprising nature get interpreted as aggressiveness or insensitivity.
Highlights:
June 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!

June 10-11 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise.

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 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.

June 26 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Capricorn in your solar second house. This Lunar Eclipse can influence you for 3-6 months. 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.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
May 2010 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.
May is an excellent month for giving your close personal relationships the attention they deserve, dear Scorpio. By mid-month, tensions and communication troubles clear up. A partner is more willing to share himself/herself on deeper, intimate levels. May 13th brings a rush of positive energy to a partnership. It’s a great time for making new resolutions. Finances bring pleasant surprises this month and next, but money could be spent as quickly as they are earned if you are not careful! Your hobbies or sideline work can be especially lucrative this month.
Jupiter opposes Saturn this month, and a tug-of-war occurs between our loftier goals and dreams and with our responsibilities. When we think in big terms, or if we have the urge to expand, we confront obstacles or we are forced to face reality. Some re-structuring of our lives and of our business goals is now in order. We may be looking for new challenges, sometimes because we are forced to do so (because things are not going exactly as we had planned). We have a desire to grow and expand, but our attitude is tempered by some caution and feelings of restriction. There is no “easy fix” just now. It is best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether. Although you might encounter blocks to your plans now, it’s also a good time to revise them in a logical manner. Take steps to grow, but don’t overextend yourself at this time or you are bound to face frustrations. Occurring in your fifth and eleventh houses, this challenge is likely to play out in the areas of friendships, relationships with children, romance, and creative activities.
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector until the 11. Meaningful and harmonious relationships–both social and romantic–define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! 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. 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 moves through your intimacy sector from the 11. Intimate connections can be especially rich and meaningful during this cycle. Your magnetism revolves around mysterious fascination rather than outgoing charm. Intensity appeals in your relationships. This can also be a time in which you discover untapped resources or talents. Its a good time to work out money problems or other issues of sharing with a partner. You may get the backing you need now–financial or emotional.
Mercury is retrograde from April 18th to May 11th. 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 sixth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to work, health matters, and daily routines. Be as non-judgmental as you can with co-workers. Re-thinking the suitability of your job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you. Double-check your work. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers and health professionals; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely. Things will change once Mercury turns direct from the 11th, so you might decide to try to keep status quo until then.
Mars energizes your solar tenth house from the 18. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it’s professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.
Highlights:
May 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.
May 9-10 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 10-12 Mercury stations and turns direct on May 11th. 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.
May 13 A New Moon in Taurus in your solar seventh house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on June 12th. 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 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.
May 20-21 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 26-27 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 27 A Full Moon occurs today in Sagittarius 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 29-30 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:
April 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April
Overview.
Until the 9th, 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. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Show off your best colors now. You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether others appreciate you. 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 are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
The Sun illuminates your sixth house from the 9th. 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.
Your career is receiving strong energy this month, dear Scorpio. It’s picking up pace, and professional matters become clearer and more straightforward. You are feeling re-motivated after some confusion and lack of enthusiasm in recent months. Keeping your nose to the grindstone is a good idea now, although you tend to want to take the lead. Relationships are easygoing and satisfying. After the 18th, however, saying what you mean to a special someone could prove difficult, even if your intentions are grand. Special attention to a loved one is in order around the 28th.
Venus continues to transit your solar sixth house until the 17th. 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 moves through your partnership sector from the 17th. 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 is retrograde from April 18th to May 11th. 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 sixth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to work, health matters, and daily routines. Be as non-judgmental as you can with co-workers. Re-thinking the suitability of your job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you. Double-check your work. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers and health professionals; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars is regaining speed and moving through your solar ninth house. You are regaining energy, motivation, and enthusiasm for adventure, learning, and self-expression. This is 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. 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:
April 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.
April 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.
April 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.
April 14 A New Moon in Aries in your solar sixth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on May 13th. 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.
April 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.
April 17-18 Mercury is stationary turning retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until May 11th–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.
April 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.
April 28 A Full Moon occurs today in Scorpio in your solar twelfth house. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You’ve been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It’s time to balance your life with some down timeotherwise, you simply don’t feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It’s an excellent time to get in touch with what’s been brewing beneath the surface. A secret may be revealed.
April 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.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
March 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
March
Overview.
Until the 10th, 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 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 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.
Work and career matters are starting to move forward for you in March, dear Scorpio. After some months of delays, stalled plans, and perhaps lack of enthusiasm, you are starting to regain confidence, passion, and interest in your work. You can prepare yourself for a busy and active professional life in the next few months. For the first half of the month, however, you are able to take a break from the rigors of competition and pressure, finding more time for recreation. The 15-17 brings pleasurable surprises and attention your way.
Mars continues to retrograde this month until the 10th. It turned retrograde on December 20th and will continue to move in this apparent backward motion until March 10th. 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. Mars’ turnaround on the 10th is not a quick fix. Rather, Mars will slowly regain speed, and over the coming weeks, issues encountered during the retrograde cycle will become clearer, reaching resolution.
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house until the 23. 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 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.
Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house until the 12. 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 12-27. 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 moves through your work and health sector from the 27. 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.
Highlights:
March 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.
March 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.
March 15 A New Moon in Pisces in your solar fifth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on April 14th. 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 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! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
March 20-21 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 26-27 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 29 A Full Moon occurs today in Libra 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.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
February 2010 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
February
Overview.
Until the 8th, 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 8th, 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.
Challenges with work continue and are unlikely to clear up until mid-March, dear Scorpio. While some of you are encountering difficult circumstances on the job, most of you are experiencing loss of enthusiasm within. You might be going through the motions for the time being. You are sure to regain energy and zeal, as well as a sense of direction, next month. For now, both career and home are demanding, and it’s hard to find a balance. The 13-15 is strong for romance and creativity. February ends on a high note, with more time for recreation from the 18th.
Mars continues to retrograde this month. It turned retrograde on December 20th and will continue to move in this apparent backward motion until March 10th. 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.
Venus moves through your solar fourth house from the 3-27. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don’t wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
Venus moves through your solar fifth house from the 27. 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 enters your solar fourth house on the 23 and transits this sector of your chart into March. 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.
Highlights:
January 31-February 1 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 6-7 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 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.
February 14 A New Moon in Aquarius in your solar fourth house occurs now and affects you until the next New Moon on March 15th. 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 16-17 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.
February 21-22 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 27-28 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 28 A Full Moon occurs today in Virgo in your solar 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.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
January 2010 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, 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 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.
Career demands are heavy this month, dear Scorpio. Some decisions or plans may be on hold and projects need to be redone. While you have excellent ideas for projects now, mull them over until a better time for launching them. This year, making money can actually be pleasurable, whether it’s because you are liking what you do more, or monetizing a favorite pastime or hobby. Entertainment and leisure opportunities open up for you this year, starting in January. Your romantic life picks up speed, you’re feeling more creative, and your interests expand.
Mars continues to retrograde this month. It turned retrograde on December 20th and will continue to move in this apparent backward motion until March 10th. 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 until the 15th (it began its retrograde motion on December 26th). 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.
A Lunar Eclipse occurred on the very last day of 2009, on December 31st and at 10 degrees Cancer, and is affecting you this month. A Solar Eclipse occurs this month on January 15th at 25 degrees Capricorn. 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 December 24-January 7th and then January 8-22 [essentially from December 24-January 22].
The Lunar Eclipse on December 31st stimulated your solar eighth house. Surprises surrounding intimate matters, shared finances and resources, or financial support 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 as, for example, the need to make a financial settlement or large payment, the paying off of a loan, the loss of financial support, a change in your spouse’s status (or ex-spouse’s status if child support or alimony is given), a circumstance that calls for you to support someone, and other such possibilities. Do your best to avoid letting emotions overrule good judgment when it comes to spending or financial matters.
The Solar Eclipse on the 15th 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.
Until the 10, Venus continues to grace 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 plays in your solar third house from the 10, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style. During this cycle you are especially charming in your communications with others. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual. Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle. You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction are increased through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
Mars continues in its retrograde motion. It could be a time of questioning your zeal, energy, or enthusiasm. 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. You might feel less confident or you could simply feel more cautious now. While matters may not appear to be moving quickly or directly, they aren’t necessarily moving backwards either. It’s simply a time of slowing down and reconnecting with your own inner guide.
Highlights:
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.
January 3-4 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 10-11 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 12-13 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 14-16 Mercury stations and turns direct on January 15th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. This is especially appropriate with a Solar Eclipse occurring on the same day! As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.
January 15 A New Moon Solar Eclipse in Capricorn in your solar third house is a powerful influence that affects you for 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 20-21 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 24-25 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 30 A Full Moon occurs today in Leo 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 31-February 1 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.
