SCORPIO October 24th - November 21st

The headline news of Saturn moving away from your sign of course is significant. He moves into Sagittarius on the 23^rd  (initially for aprox 6 months) having haunted your sign for approximately 2½ years; and those in the final throes of this visitation to Scorpio are born after the 18^th. For this group there is a feeling of weight, obligation, challenge, some karma, reality checks, tiredness and also having to face what is necessary in life and bite some bullets. This can be very constructive and give long-term advantage if one faces up to the task. This particular energy is probably revisited in June-September of next year, when he returns to your sign temporarily, but it needs to be acknowledged now.  Saturn’s new sign position (getting fully underway there next late September) indicates that attention and caution are needed in the financial area in the coming few years.

Financial security is always a strong drive for Scorpios and this month is no exception as the Sun, Mercury and Venus are strong in your solar 2^nd house, and in the first half of the month many of you will find yourself addressing these issues thoroughly and successfully.

After the 10^th if born up to November 18^th your ability to combine charm with intellect is very effective and dealings with siblings can also thrive. After the 17^th if born up to November 16^th don't underestimate your insight and intellectual forensic abilities.

Before the 4^th if born after November 18^th, determination is yours as your co-ruler Mars gives intelligent guidance to all your ardent energies.

However, a little bit of a warning if born up to November 13^th, be wary that your energies may feel a little bit discordant on the domestic/family/home front and others may also feel a little discordant around you. Stubbornness and impatience, yours and others, needs to be carefully watched.

Jupiter in Leo provides a feeling of great indulgence this month if born November 13^th to 16^th. An overdose of pride, over-confidence, even possible arrogance, can be advantageous in the short term, but ultimately could be regretted. Beware complacency as well.

However after the 8^th when Jupiter moves retrograde, advantages in your life become subtler and should be appreciated as such.
