1st January 2003 - 31st December 2003

GENERAL

During the course of 2003 Saturn and Uranus head into near perfect alignment with your sun sign thereby easing your difficulties and presenting you with opportunities to find long-term happiness and fulfilment. After several years of fluctuating fortunes life begins to even out and in consequence your faith in yourself and the future increases fourfold. Add to this Jupiter’s bullish presence on the Mid-heaven of your chart (January - end August) and you’ll have to go back over a decade to find such promising stars. Certainly, you should start as you mean to go on and re-float any beached hopes and plans and launch into open waters with new ones. Of course, life is never perfect - is it ever? - and in keeping with the unsettled state of global affairs you cannot expect 2003 to be without its little problems but at least you have the correct ammunition with which to deal with any challenge - and triumph over it.

Career-oriented Scorpios should not be disappointed with their lot: it’s not so much a case of being in the right place at the right time as of your moment having come. Promotion, professional and financial rewards and the appreciation of your abilities can be expected. And since you are a cautious sign you should fight any qualms over starting your own business or leaving a safe job to fulfil a dream. As they say, fortune favours the brave! The first half of February, late June and much of July are golden periods - and certainly times when you should have the confidence of your convictions.

The eclipses of May 16th and November 9th focus on your sign so although these dates may not precisely coincide with major life developments they are the astrological signature of them. Between now and May 2004, especially if your birthday falls on or near the 8th and 17th November, a relationship could well be the cause of any big life changes - single Scorpios could find their life partner while those who are married could be vulnerable to an extra-marital fling. Certainly, these eclipses have a ring of destiny about them and any pluses or minuses to a relationship will be revealed in all their glory.

Saturn’s passage through the ninth house of long-distance objectives (June 2003 - July 2005) will help you achieve a goal or two. This is an extremely favourable influence for any kind of academic, legal or religious study. However, legal matters could prove time consuming and costly and you cannot be sure of success with Saturn in this position. Therefore think very carefully before resorting to the courts to aid your cause.

LOVE

Your experiences of the past few years have no doubt taught you that you can stand alone - you are a survivor. You may even have convinced yourself that sex and love are not life essentials. So, who are you kidding? While these vastly improved stars will clearly help you succeed in the material world they will also enable you to find more consistency and constancy in love. Romance and relationships take top billing between mid-May and mid-June and October.

Key Dates:

STAR PERIODS: 1st - 6th July, 22nd October - 1st November

BLACK HOLES: 16th - 22nd February, 14th - 24th May.



1st January 2004 - 31st December 2004

General

If life turns out to be a huge uphill struggle, you will not be able to blame your stars. In 2004 Saturn is providing stability, Jupiter hope and Uranus some welcome changes: it is a year of aspiration, accomplishment and enjoyment. It is also a year when togetherness and team-work really count. If there are lessons to be learned, they’re likely to be encountered on foreign soil or in regard to the legal system, and March and July are the months that pack the most powerful punch. Be prepared to make inroads into new territory - it’s time you eliminated the tired and the trusted and discovered the joys of breaking the mold. In a nutshell: a year for the memory books.

Love and Relationships

Relationships are the big news for 2004. People from the past come back into your life and decisions that were previously impossible to make can now be made. The eclipses of 4th May and 28th October bring new people to your side and signal the end of a long chapter. March is the month for major romantic developments, while events in August could inspire a sudden change of heart. It may seem as if other people are changing your perceptions and your course but in truth you are emerging, like a butterfly, from a chrysalis.

Money and Work

The new spirit of innovation and individuality has its biggest effect on your career: no longer will you be prepared to stick with an unfulfilling job, you’re ready to market your talents in new directions. October Scorpios are front of the queue when it comes to sudden and unexpected career moves, and whenever your birthday, compromise is not an option. You may not get rich in 2004 but you’ll have the resources to fulfil your ambitions and your needs.

Go Dates: 21st January, 17th March, 1st May, 23rd October, 12th November, 21st December

Slow Dates: 2nd February, 4th May, 31st July, 28th October, 8th November, 1st December




1st January 2005 - 30th June 2005

General

You'll make progress in 2005 but it won't be quick and spectacular. One step at a time is how you'll go, and a wonderful gain here will be balanced by a small loss elsewhere. Swings and roundabouts, but not a roller-coaster ride. For the past year Uranus has been encouraging you to bring dormant abilities to life and to make changes in your life style: this trend will continue but ideally you should start new ventures before the end of July; between August and mid-October trying to bring new things into being will have its share of obstacles. On 26th October brilliant Jupiter will enter your sign, all set to make the following twelve months a bumper-bundle period.

Love

The path to true love invariably contains a stone or two but the eclipses of the past couple of years could have produced a boulder: whether a partner has let you down or whether your hopes and expectations have been eclipsed by dreary reality, it's about time this area of your life was sorted. In many cases this means looking at your relationship history and recognizing there is a pattern, one that can be changed. April is a premium period for your love life, with some Scorpios finding true and lasting love, and others bailing out of a sinking relationship. And, if you have a 24th - 30th October birthday, destiny strikes.

Money and Work

On the 18th July, Saturn's arrival on the mid-heaven of your chart marks the beginning of a two-year period in which you will either experience more success in your chosen career, taking on greater responsibilities, even rising to the very top, or you will become thoroughly disenchanted with your lot. To a certain extent Jupiter's passage through Scorpio from late 2005 will cushion you from any serious financial or material deficiencies, nonetheless, I wouldn't recommend taking chances with your job or borrowing too heavily until 2007 is on its way out.

Home and Family

Neptune continues to influence home affairs, so especially if you have a 5th - 10th November birthday, you will need to be very fluid with domestic plans and in dealing with members of the family. Family health requires a little more care and the home itself could need some structural attention. February and August bring out the best and worst of Neptune, which means a magical family event for some Scorpios and a mysterious development, perhaps a setback of some description for others. In a nutshell, 2005 is a year in which to put your trust in the real, not the fantastic!

FAB DATES: 23rd January, 30th April, 10th June, 1st July, 30th September, 26th November.
DRAB DATES: 24th April, 1st June, 31st July, 14th September, 16th November.




1st January 2006 - 30th May 2006

General

Hallelujah! This is your time in the sun, or rather Jupiter. Until the 24th November this planet of increase will be transiting your sign, at the very least boosting your confidence but at best producing one or more experiences that make you feel on top of the world. This is the year to push the proverbial boat out, whether you assert your independence and achieve a life ambition or whether you win the glittering prizes and find that special someone. The first week of May sets the stage for a happy event and mid-November lifts a burden from your shoulders. New ventures and associations are blessed in 2006 - all you have to do is let go, and without regrets or rancour - the mid-May, mid-June and late August periods are particularly relevant in this regard.

Love

With an overall increase in happiness, your love life is the beneficiary of welcome changes. Instead of the Scorpio freeze when it comes to ironing out wrinkles in a relationship you're more communicative and less suspicious about your partner's behaviour with the result that he or she will be more generous with you. And if you're single, your chances of meeting Mr or Ms Right have increased fourfold. Early to mid-June and mid November are prime periods for Scorpio nuptials and sudden bursts of romance, however, there is a chance that a friend will prove disloyal or that a friendship will come under strain due to a romantic/marital relationship.

Money and Work

Saturn will be working away at the zenith of your horoscope for the next two years, and presenting two entirely different prospects On the plus side, the hard work of many years could pay off, in some cases by your achieving a position of power and responsibility, and the attendant salary increases. However, there is also a possibility that a company you work for will fail or that you will fail to impress an employer resulting in the loss of a long-time job. Fortunately, between now and 2008 the position of Jupiter will provide a cushion, whether this means enough money to get by on or a job that will prove far more suited to your talents and needs. August is the big month for job developments.

Home and Family

Neptune's presence in this area is both a blessing and a curse. Dreams can be realized yet so too can seemingly solid situations disintegrate. Thus, you must continue to find a balance between pursuing those dreams and accepting the fact that some things are totally out of reach. A relative could become the source of concern this year, and you must do your level best not to let a disagreement turn into a full-blown family feud. Also, although the overall trend for the year is increase, success and happiness, there will be times when you feel your fairy godmother has deserted you - take the mid-to-late January/early February period and the early-to-mid August time. The answer lies in acceptance and fortitude.




1st January 2007 - 31st December 2007

General

2006 marked the start of a twelve-year cycle: it was a year of new beginnings. Now you get to build on those foundations. 2007 is another period of growth, but whereas before you may have felt the pressure to deliver, and in tandem that there was opposition to overcome, your progress will be easier this year. Your self-esteem is on the rise, whether through the acknowledgement of your talents, the love of one special person or a general sense of being valued and appreciated. Uranus in your fellow water sign, Pisces, continues to bring out dormant abilities and your spirit of adventure could lead you into some controversial situations, especially in the pursuit of love. February and early to mid-March are full of liberating moments and events with an aura of destiny about them. You may also find the date of 6 August significant.

Love

Dreary ruts are no place for a passionate Scorpio to be embedded and thanks to the eclipses of March and August that flank the romantic axis of your horoscope your days in a deep dark hole are numbered! You are more than ready for an intense sexual exchange, and although you may find the spark comes back to an existing relationship, you will be more vulnerable than ever to an extra-marital fling. Leo and Aquarius could figure in the romantic mix this year but for a truly divine experience Pisces could have your number. The Jupiter-Pluto conjunction of 11th December could prove to be the year's biggest turning point, and the course of a relationship could be profoundly altered at this time.

Money and Work

Now that Jupiter is in harmony with Saturn in the area of ambitions your chances of career success are far higher, and you can expect to make more money this year. Don't be afraid to up your market price and to go for jobs that have previously seemed beyond your reach. The only obstacle to your unstoppable progress is the Saturn-Neptune opposition which will be in effect until early July. What you have to fight here is old patterns of belief - even an incident in the past - interfering with the attainment of your ambitions. Drop the fear - you'll more than survive this year. Investments will grow in 2007 and this is the best year of a decade to buy or sell property.

Home and Family

Having faith in your dreams and living within the confines of reality is a recurrent theme of life in general and the family circle in particular. You are half-way through a cycle in which projects that start off on a sound footing encounter mysterious problems, in some cases necessitating the abandonment of the idea. Thus, for the first half of 2007 it might be better to keep plans very fluid. Some Scorpios will be struggling with the empty nest syndrome as children head off to university while others will feel life has lost some of its meaning because members of the family have left for distant parts but a new you will come out of these changes. For a few Scorpios an unexpected pregnancy could alter your plans and, one way or another, 2007 has some real surprises up its sleeve.




1st July 2008 - 31st December 2008

GENERAL

Scorpios like to be in their own territory but you are heading into the unknown this summer, whether in terms of life experience or travel. Not for a long time have there been such opportunities to broaden your horizons. Luck plays a big role and you may well have cause to comment that you were in the right place at the right time. Indeed, this is a summer of fateful developments with August emerging as the most eventful month of 2008. In time to come you will realize what a launching pad this year was so if you find yourself setting aside an ambition or considering that there will be another opportunity to make a certain move, override your reservations and seize that moment.

LOVE

What Scorpio doesn't go all out for love? And this summer this means both overcoming the self-imposed boundaries you have created and combining romance with travel and distant places. It's time to give an old relationship a new look and to look outside your comfort zone if you're single and seeking. For some Scorpios a younger partner will resurrect feelings you had forgotten you had and cause much controversy in the process while for others a secret love affair will be out in the open. Certainly, August is a month of discoveries and transformations... Whatever the summer brings in the way of sunny days it seems your love life is hot, and, if it's not, it's time to do something about it.

WORK AND FINANCE

A total solar eclipse on 1st August could auger big changes on the job front. This is the signal for which you have been waiting if you have been looking to make a career upgrade, and should you have been resisting change of any description events will conspire to get you out of an unhealthy, going-nowhere situation. This is a premium time to add to your portfolio of skills and experience, and some Scorpios could be planning a sabbatical or seeking work in another country. Money-wise, you continue to be under very protective influences so although you may not have all you want and more any financial crisis can be averted or successfully managed.

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

Neptune's influence here is affecting everything from house sales to family relationships, and you must constantly check whether you are being realistic in your plans and expectations. To add to the problem, the professional advice you seek may not always be correct, and people might not be presenting the situation as it truly is. On the plus side, a degree of divine providence is at work so that there are blessings to be found in even the most trying of circumstances. Keep your agenda flexible throughout the summer, not only could the weather prove to be capricious but travel and holiday arrangements may need to be changed. The lunar eclipse of the 16th makes for an emotional weekend and happy-ever-after stories.


1st January 2008 - 31st July 2008

General

Your outlook changes in 2008. Now, this may mean that your job or home location alters or it could auger a big difference in your thinking on many of the key aspects of your life. The situations that you found so difficult over the past two years are behind you, whether they resolve themselves or your attitude to them radically shifts. It also looks to be a year when you get to see a lot more of your world both in the sense of travel and experience. Friendship and collaboration are big themes for the year, with some Scorpios devoting time and energy to a friend-in-need and others beginning a business or personal venture with an old ally. The eclipses of the 7th February and 1st August fall on the axis of life-goals so these are the dates around which to expect those lightening bolts that send you in new directions. May is your best month, August tests your mettle.

Love

There is more stability in your love life this year: new relationships develop gradually while established liaisons gain in strength and understanding. Of course, there will be exceptions... Those of you born at the beginning or middle of November are more vulnerable to sudden and violent attractions and equally unexpected splits, and the months of May and August produce the best and worst when it comes to affairs of the heart. The trick is not to expect those you love to fulfil their promises or your expectations: to err is human... The signs of Gemini and Sagittarius may well play a big role in helping you find the happiness you seek but treat people born around the 11th February and 15th August with care.

Money and Work

If you have dreams and ambitions you should pull out all the stops this year. You may have to be prepared to go it alone in order to achieve your objectives since not everyone you believed to be a supporter is in fact in your corner. Indeed, you may well suffer from people steeling your thunder or being duplicitous. The total solar eclipse of 1st August is the one to watch for big job developments and events that set you on a new course. You're not known for throwing your money around but the big temptation this year will be to spend your hard earned cash on travel and expanding the scope of your life. Something to be highly recommended in my book.

Home and Lifestyle

Water plays an important part in your life this year. Aside from spending time messing about on boats or enjoying sun and sand holidays you may decide to move near water permanently. And, on the less enjoyable side, you may have to watch out for flooding, whether through errant washing machines or Mother Nature. A member of the family could be facing divorce or the loss of a home, but think carefully before trying to help. You won't be able to rely on anyone and everyone this year but you have the resources to deal with anything and everything! Next year will be a year of expansion on the home and lifestyle front so don't fret if things don't quite fall into place in 2008.




1st January 2009 - 30th June 2009

GENERAL

You have the benefit of Jupiter's divine protection during 2009, which means no matter how tough the going gets you will come through – and with flying colours. There could be additions to the home, whether in terms of property upgrades or new members of the family, and the best things in life will tend to revolve around your nearest and dearest and the home base. You're going to have to break a few of your own rules too: life is changing big time so that old strategies and outdated belief-systems will have to be binned and replaced by more appropriate ones. A journey will prove of great significance in July or August: it may inspire thoughts of a permanent move elsewhere or what happens in a distant place will leave a powerful mark on your life.

LOVE

Good relationships take work, and sometimes it's the work you have to do on yourself that makes the biggest difference of all. And 2009 is all about doing the work of relating. Some Scorpios will be putting in the infra-structures of a new relationship, which may include include learning the ropes with step-children, while others will be adjusting to fresh developments in a partner's life, and, in general, the duty of love takes precedence over the passion. The Jupiter-Neptune conjunction, which is strongest in late May, early July and late December, promotes divine connections, in some cases bringing the right person into your life, and in others heightening the synergy between you and a partner. June is the perfect month for a wedding or reuniting with a lost love.

MONEY AND WORK

There is no such thing as a safe option in 2009. Indeed, the less dependent you are on one single institution for your money, both in terms of borrowing/saving and earning a salary, the better. You will be amazed at your ingenuity when it comes to recycling and sticking to a budget, however, you can pick up a bargain property-wise and some Scorpios will buy a primary or second home close to water. You may also inherit or come out of a dispute the richer for it. With the Saturn-Uranus opposition flanking the creative axis of your chart, getting a new business endeavour off the ground could prove difficult, and such things will be better put off until 2010. You are very resourceful, Scorpio, so even in a time of global turbulence, you will rise, like a phoenix, out of the ashes of other people's failures and mistakes...




1st July 2005 - 31st December 2005

GENERAL

Mid-July marks the start of one of the most complex but fascinating periods of the past few years - a period that will last some eighteen months. With this in mind, the weeks up to the 18th July can be most usefully spent tying up loose ends and setting down solid foundations of future enterprises. Do your best to have all your ducks in a row by then since the second half of July looks to be the most important part of the summer, whether plans come to fruition or circumstances beyond your control interfere with your perfect agenda! This may not be the most laid-back summer of your existence, but at least you won't be complaining that life is dull.

LOVE

Relationships take centre stage this summer. On 28th July, sexy and feisty Mars enters the area of love and partnership and will remain there, creating sparks of one sort or another, until 17th February 2006. In September Venus joins in the fun, making this one of the premium months of the year for new romances, weddings and engagements. The weekends of 30th July and 17th September make or break a bond, and these are certainly times when you discover the weaknesses and strengths of a relationship. What you may also need to establish is the balance between being loyal and dutiful on the one hand and being romantically and sexually fulfilled on the other...

WORK AND FINANCE

Saturn will transit the area of ambitions and life-direction from this July until mid-2007, and to a large extent this should be a life-defining two years. Success is consolidated thanks to Saturn, so some Scorpios will achieve promotion, add to their reputation or broaden their influence, yet many will also discover where their efforts have been misplaced and that certain routes are no longer appropriate. It is important that you create strong bonds with employers/employees and colleagues now, and especially during the late-July-to mid-August period avoid all or nothing actions. Until October, save rather than spend should be your philosophy.

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

Scorpio usually knows precisely what it wants and tends to achieve what it sets out to do - come hell or high water - but with Neptune at the base of your chart, you may feel less sure of what you want and the plans you do make could have an irritating way of drizzling into nothing. Especially where home, family and lifestyle are concerned, you are best remaining as fluid as possible: you are in a time of transition and much water has yet to flow under the proverbial bridge. Actually, water is a big theme for the summer, whether you spend time on or near the water or you add water features to your home and attend to the plumbing! August is the month for family gatherings and major domestic developments.




1st July 2006 - 31st December 2006

GENERAL

Life is good. And if it's not, could it be that you're afraid to take a risk? Jupiter is offering you so much in the way of adventure and enrichment, but only if you're ready to take a chance and break with the past. Career and goals are the area most in need of a brave step, and developments on or near 7th and 21st August could help you make it. The summer months bring out your sunny side: your horizons are widened for personal reasons and through trips to foreign places - events on nor near the 27th July could make you particularly proud and happy. There are six months left in this peak life cycle - what are you waiting for?

LOVE

Perhaps because you've seen some success in other areas of life, you have an increased appetite for fun and pleasure, with the result that your love life is far happier - you may even be spoilt for choice. Venus will make her annual visit to your sign later in the year, so some of the big dates in your diary romance-wise are yet to come, nonetheless the summer is a terrific time for making the most of life and love: the week of 24th July is outstanding, however, August will tend to put the brakes on a relationship, either because of problems between the two of you or because of events and commitments outside the relationship.

WORK AND FINANCE

Who wants to think about work and money when the sun is out? Well, you may not relish your professional and financial responsibilities but with transits to Saturn in the most ambitious sector of your horoscope, there are decisions to be made, especially on or near the 7th, 21st and 30th August. Think long-term strategies and you won't go wrong. It will be worth taking a salary cut in order to preserve a valued position, and re-training or working with a person who/organization that you admire will pay off further down the road. Financial reward is something to look toward in 2007; for now, it's a case of patience, economy and acute judgement.

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

Neptune continues to play a big part in your domestic story, so you may find yourself veering from high hopes to disappointments, whether in relation to the family itself or plans and projects linked to property. Once again August sees the biggest developments here, and although 2006 is basically a stellar year for you, there do seem to be some hold-ups and minor set-backs to cope with here. The older generation may prove difficult to please or your time will be taken up attending to duties and responsibilities that interfere with your plans. The eclipse pattern of September augurs exciting developments in an offspring's life, or an addition to the family.
