Scorpio

General
2012 is a serious make-it-or-break-it year for you, Scorpio. You certainly worked yourself to the bone in 2011, so you deserve to rise. By autumn, get ready to face a major crossroads in your life. To be exact, you have until October to continue dabbling and experimenting, but after that, big decisions must be made. Saturn is about to take up residence in your constellation for the first time in nearly thirty years. Big Daddy Saturn rules karma, time and integrity, so expect these to be key themes from 2012 to 2015.  You’ll be tested on your value system during the last quarter of the year, so get all of your ducks in a row before then. Passing King Saturn’s tests requires great skill, but you, of all signs, are more than up to the task.
Love:
With Neptune moving back into your romance sector in February to stay for the next decade, your love life gets poetic, if not cinematic in scope. A deep, soulful connection becomes the prerequisite for any long-term commitment. You cannot and will not settle for anything less than a soul-stirring connection. Your lover becomes your muse and vice versa. The only caveat to this inspired transit is to avoid the blind delusion of Neptune. Although there is always some level of projection when it comes to “falling” in love; that doesn’t mean you have to fall blindly into a convergence with potentially destructive partners. Keep your wits about you and do your usual background check before giving your heart away blindly. There is a feeling of destiny when Neptune is in the picture, but the winds of fate can be very fickle, so stay grounded.
Career and Money:
Ambition rages on thanks to the serious influence of Saturn in your sign starting in October. You’ll be making constant bucket lists for your career goals and worldly goals in general. What mark do you wish to leave on the world before you die? What did you come to this earth to accomplish? These larger questions loom heavier than ever before. No more playing the passionate dilettante when it comes to your career. Your agenda is too large for that. With Mars exerting a strong influence in your goal sector for the entire first half of 2012, you are ready to manifest. You benefit by association with kindred spirits. Friends will play a vital role in furthering your career goals this year as well, so never underestimate the power of who you know.
Friendship:
This could be one of the most socially driven years you’ve seen in ages, Scorpio. With Mars activating your house of friendship and goals for the first half of the year, expect a majority of your life force to involve see-and-be-seen situations. It’s all for a good cause and will translate into your larger life goals. In fact, a good portion of any cocktail or dinner parties you attend will also involve your career. And with glamorous Neptune moving back into your pleasure sector in February, life could suddenly become very art-house cinema for you, dear.
Health:
With Uranus continuing to create an erratic influence in your health sector, you are being reminded how essential it is to pay special attention to your nervous system. In June, the square between Pluto and Uranus will definitely impact you on a physical level, so take excellent care of yourself all year long to boost your immunity. A major eclipse pattern takes hold of your stars this autumn, potentially weakening your health. In November, the total Solar Eclipse in Scorpio is especially intense, so amp up on the green juice and spa treatments for optimal health.
