‘On the Way to the Market’ Monogrammist L.M {{PD}}

Dear Scorpio, circumstances this coming year, through to your next birthday, will be tests of your ability to empower yourself, and also tests of what power you already hold in life. That doesn’t sound too glamorous–stressful, even–until you realize you are being handed the key to both Love and Money. Then the questions become: do you need to be more or less assertive to get what you want? What will it cost you, and what will you gain? Do you need to be cooperative or go it alone? And what are you looking for in terms of status? You need to be especially clear on this last matter, as not taking those desires into account can mean you find yourself at the end of the year unfulfilled, in spite of making the effort. Big hint: excavate what’s in your emotional ‘blind spot’, that area others can see about you that you can’t–the more you truly understand yourself, the better your choices will be. Happy Birthday, Scorpio, and good luck!

Dear Scorpio, do you feel like Love and/ or Money is looking at you in the rear-view mirror and waving goodbye? Please don’t be sad–bigger things are on their way. You’ll ‘get the message’ concerning this within the next two months, and will take delivery sometime over the coming ten months after that, in a period stretching through to your next birthday. In the meantime, stay strong, keep ambitions, goals, and dreams at the forefront of consciousness, and watch the House Jupiter is currently transiting, along with the House Jupiter rules natally, for opportunities that can help take you where you want to go. Featured Solar Return aspect: Pallas trine Neptune=in dreams and visions you’ll find wisdom. Happy Birthday, Scorpio, and good luck!

Your life will be something of an adventure this year, Scorpio. {{PD}}

What’s wise and practical may not be what the heart cries out for this coming year, through to your next birthday, dear Scorpio; you may in fact be caught between the chance for Love and the chance to be ‘smart’, between opportunities for reward and for establishing something useful, between get-rich-quick or establishing a legacy that lives on long after you’re gone. It won’t be an easy choice, or I should say, choices, as this quandary is likely to come up over and over again in various forms throughout the year. All you can do is your best, Scorpio, but here are a few Solar Return hints: be willing to act even if you’re not 100% sure of what the outcome will be; notice that power distribution and authority is not what it used to be, and make use of what you see; and be willing to wipe the emotional slate clean, including of any guilt you carry or any trespasses you’ve had a hard time forgiving–you don’t have to forget just because you forgive, and there’s protection in that remembering. Happy Birthday, Scorpio, and good luck!

You can make your dream come true this year, too, Scorpio. Thomas Cole ‘Architect’s Dream’ 1840 {{PD}}

You’re attuned to Perfect Love this coming Solar year, through to your next birthday, Scorpio, and that also makes you attuned to matters of the Houses in the natal chart ruled by Venus; if you want to achieve, profit, or find Love, this is where to look, with your chances better the more quickly you pursue them and diminishing as the months pass. As time goes on, though, your attention turns from earning and loving to creativity and perhaps to making ‘the Dream’ come true–and that could end up just about eating you whole, as all-consuming as it may be for you. This year is your big chance to co-ordinate your efforts to gain the most precious things in life with your ultimate experience of Self-expression and creative output–and if you can do it, you may just end up making your masterpiece. Happy Birthday, Scorpio, and good luck!

Paul Gauguin – Te arii vahine (The Queen of Beauty or The Noble Queen) 1896-97 {{PD}}

This year you’ll shine in relationships, in the wisdom of your choices and your guidance to others, in your acquisition and use of practical skills, in your ability to earn and to attract reward and positive attention–and you may have the most successful creative year of your life, dear Scorpio. Frankly, I’m jealous. In fact, a lot of people might be, and you’ll need to watch out for the way others’ petty emotions might interfere with your impressive and envy-inspiring trajectory. No matter how loving you are (and you will naturally radiate this, this coming Solar year, through to your next birthday) there’s always someone who wants to poke you in the eye; just know that the character deficit is theirs, not yours–at least that’s true right now. Happy Birthday, Scorpio, and good luck!

Georges Seurat ‘Port-en-Bessin: The Outer Harbor (Low Tide)’ 1888

Soul, heart, mind, and common sense are all in alignment over the coming Solar year, through to your next birthday, dear Scorpio–but what does all that inner harmony bring you? Besides a magnetism that rivals the tides, you may find the mentality is burdened by a lot of ambition and an inability to think in a straight line–which means you can seem so wrapped up in yourself that you alienate others. The emotions in you run deep over the coming year, but may be kept under wraps, out of fear or a desire to suppress those feelings you’d rather not acknowledge; you may question your own motives and strength, and so may undermine what you could excel at, earning and lovin’. Happy Birthday, Scorpio, and good luck!

Though you’ll have the Midas touch when it comes to money, Scorpio, it’s important to keep relationships in mind.

Dear Scorpio, you embody the essence of Love this coming Solar year, through to your next birthday–or is that a big pile of gold bouillon shimmering all around you? You may have the Midas touch in Love or Finances, and the wisdom of Solomon as a bonus–so what could go wrong? The mind may feel like it’s been dipped in cement, and you could be so pre-occupied with your own ambitions, wants, and desires that there’s scant room for meaningful interaction with others. Too, a desire to understand your own emotional depths this year could make you come across as much more introverted than you mean to. There’s good news, though, in that the big philosophical questions you want to address will serve to shape your future Path–so there’s no way even the time you spend alone will be wasted–and don’t let your exceptional ability to attract attract attract go to waste, either. Happy Birthday, Scorpio, and good luck!

Der Zirkus – Georges Seurat {{PD}}

Welcome to the fun-house, Scorpio (if you’re a Libra born the 23rd, please see the Born Today for the 22nd). This year, through to your next birthday, may be one intense ride toward fulfillment of one or more of your goals–or at the very least, toward launching something important in your life. The good news? Your choices will be smart and likely result in reward or profit of one kind or another. The less good news? Reasoning may be flawed, which could set up problems for later (and consider that you may choose well but then delay success through poor planning). If you’re not working toward a material triumph of some kind, you may be called on (even forced) to devote a lot of time and energy to relationships, which may feel ‘new’ even when they’re not, making it all that much tougher to sort out. But, it will be an amazing year where chances are high Love or Money comes your way, and your creativity and ability to heal and make progress are tested. Happy Birthday, and good luck!

Go ahead, Libra, live it up! ‘Woman Holding Fireworks’, India, Artist unknown 19th century {{PD}}

Do you feel like you’re going to burst, dear Libra? Don’t worry, everybody does, since we’re coming up on a burst-worthy Solar eclipse. In terms of your Solar year, through to your next birthday, this schedules you for about two months of mild tension and confusion followed by a new start that is smart for you, brings positives into the life (financial, love-related, or just through expressions of what you value), and that holds the potential both to offer you some serious healing as well as the opportunity to master some unique skills that you have a genuine talent for. We also see the possibility for significant expansion of your world and just in general for ‘more’–which is the best argument ever for always trying your best and including as many good things in the life as possible–because you don’t want more of the bad or boring, do you? Happy Birthday, Libra, and good luck!

Get out there and do–you’ll find something valuable. By N. C. Wyeth,
from the 1911 edition of ‘Treasure Island’ {{PD}}

Reward, treasure, Love–whatever you want to call it–will be yours this year, dear Libra–but you’ll have to act, to choose, to decide to get it. What you do to earn it will, directly or indirectly, require a Sagittarius-flavored effort: learning or teaching, implementation of a life philosophy or the development of one by which to live, a reaching out to others, efforts to understand and/ or incorporate what’s foreign to you, religious ritual meant to lead to spiritual communion, or something dictated by the subjects ruled by Sag in your natal chart–you’ll know which one resonates for you–and the great thing is this opens up your capacity for instinctual understanding, offering a personal compass guided by your own deep connection to All That Is. But first, choose, decide, act. Happy Birthday, Libra, and good luck!
