The Week Ahead for Scorpio

Life may not be perfect but it’s pretty good with Jupiter in the driver’s seat. You need to recognize when someone or something is an asset, and instead of fretting about those things that will not fall into the palm of your hand, build on what you have. Likewise, don’t put off making an important move until you feel it is the ‘right’ time: the first six months of 2012 are the right time. Take on a challenge, stretch your boundaries and you will be setting yourself up for the future. On 5th October, Saturn enters your sign for a two-year transit: this planet is synonymous with a harvest: you get to see the results of years of efforts. There is always a learning curve with Saturn – it exposes the weaknesses in your life but it also rewards the strengths. The total solar eclipse of 13th November is another key astrological event of 2012, whether you yourself make some mighty decisions on or near this date or fate presents you with a fate-accomplis!

You are in the middle of a boom period for Scorpio nuptials and major relationship developments. If you met someone in 2011 a wedding could lie ahead, and should your love life be in shreds, don’t lose heart – Jupiter and Venus are helping you find your way to that special person. March is outstanding in its capacity to bring people together and to set the stage for happy romantic events. It is not exactly a race but you should aim to set relationships on a solid course before the end of September. After this point, your plate could be full of other things and life is will be a little more unpredictable. The full moon of 6 May could play a big part in your love life, whether it marks an ending or a beginning; likewise, the total solar eclipse in Scorpio (13 November) could prompt events of a life-changing nature, especially if your birthday falls around that date.

February begins a new and important cycle for you. Neptune has dogged your career and finances for far too long, and as 2012 progresses you will gain a firmer foothold on the ladder of success. Other people will champion you and your talents, and in a competitive situation you should be in the winners’ circle. Any losses or disappointments will be quickly overcome, and you should see any set-backs as divinely inspired. Growth could be impressive – both on the financial and professional front – but by October, progress could slow down, and there will be more obstacles in your path. Ideally, you need to stockpile your resources way before this time, and at the first sign of a problem, whether in relation to your personal situation or the global economy, take appropriate action.
