The Week Ahead for Scorpio

21st Aug 2017 - 27th Aug 2017Not your typical week.

In this kind of astro-scape, be careful what you wish for. Or maybe that should be in the past tense – what you wished for. There is an element of fate and karma about the events that take place on and around the time of an eclipse, and while on many occasions welcome developments occur, sometimes there are upsets.

So, should you be on the receiving end of an unexpected outcome, think back carefully because you may just discover where the seeds of any current events were sown. Be philosophical about what comes or goes now. In the big sweep of time it will all work out for the best.

August 2017

The Month Ahead for Scorpio

August can be a slow month but not so this year. Even if you yourself have nothing on the agenda that requires focus, preparation and a healthy amount of anticipation events in the lives of others could have an impact on you. For some Scorpios a new job is in the pipeline, or changes at work could set you thinking where your talents and interests might be better served. For others, a change in home location is on the cards and even if this proves only temporary it could inspire a long-term move in the future. Nothing happens by chance; whether you feel blessed by events or thrown for a loop by them, they have been in the process of becoming for many moons.

The Year Ahead for Scorpio (2017)

General

One word sums up 2017 - preparation. You have roughly ten months in which to lay down the building blocks of future projects, whether you see this in terms of your love life, family or career. As soon as Jupiter enters your sign (10th October) the foundations should be in place and from there you’ll start to see your creations take shape.

The eclipses of the year fall on the axis of life-direction, so you can expect the biggest changes to occur in your career and at home base. And the periods to look out for are mid-February and all of August.

2017 is also the year of fitness. Take it slow, but you can become stronger, healthier and leaner and meaner in this year of preparation. These past few years may have seen you give up on a dream or two, but your hopes and self-belief need a reboot. Yes you can!.

Love and relationships

Life without passion is no life for Scorpio, and 2017 is all about following your passion, not only in regard to romance. Whether you have experienced rejection or a relationship has been through exceptionally hard times it is no surprise that you have lost faith in love.

But never doubt the Tinkerbell effect: believe in something or someone enough and the magic happens. June is a top month for romance and the weekend of the 23rd particularly special; November also has its romantic high spots.

While you do not want people to take advantage of you, continually putting a prospective partner through hoops is counter-productive. Your new word is believe. Likewise, being realistic about the state of a relationship is dynamic, being negative is destructive.

Work, life goals and finance

Saturn is spending its last year in the area of self-worth so you are on your way out of a cycle of decrease - less has meant less, and any growth has come at great cost. Nevertheless, 2017 is not the year to splash your cash around and put your faith in short-term gains.

Long-term investments are the way to go, whether we’re talking buying property or building your career and accepting a less than wonderful salary. Making your home work for you, whether by renting or becoming your office is an option and for a few Scorpios an inheritance will make a positive difference.

Changes at work happen suddenly, but with an excellent Venus transit of the work zone from February-through May you could achieve recognition and perform successfully in competitive situations. Preparation is all.

Celestial Tip

Put that self-destruct button under bullet proof glass and throw away the key. Do not let frustration get the better of you. Time is on your side. It may seem as if the universe is against you, but a couple of disappointments doth not a sea of troubles make.

You are on track for success and some things simply are not part of your future. Get over a set-back quickly and don’t keep re-examining it; create new pathways.

Also, don’t reject something out of hand simply because it’s foreign to you: some of the best things that 2017 produces come out of the blue and take you out of your comfort zone.
