Overview

Innovative thinking can be intimidating sometimes, but try not to let it freak you out. Be open to new ideas right now -- you have the insight and wisdom to recognize a good thing when it comes along, so trust yourself. Keep your eyes peeled: If you see a crowd of people running and screaming, then go see what they were running from and screaming about. You'll learn something they'll never know. Be proud of going against the crowd. You're your own person!

Your ability to learn by trial and error is strong right now, so make a few little experimental inroads into whatever situation you want to learn about. You may surprise everyone with your findings!

It's tempting to make a radical decision or major change as the week begins, but make sure you aren't throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Try a smaller step, such as an experiment or an interim stage. Around Wednesday and Thursday, passion's in your personal stars, and something that's hidden may not be for long. If it's you who's doing the hiding, you might want to come out with it before it gets away from you! And you'll want to exercise more caution than normal on Friday and over the weekend, whether it's with people, places or things.

Even if you think that a certain situation is totally cut and dried, you are going to need to stay open to the possibility that others don't see things that way on the 1st. If you do manage to stay generally open to the perspectives of others, you could stand to gain a real insight into the topic at hand, which could well be more complex -- and richer -- than you originally thought. Do your best! By the oh-so-persuasive 5th, you are just incredibly persuasive! In fact, there's not much you can't convince others to do for you. Use your power wisely! You are in planning mode on the 9th, and you're enjoying it. By the 13th, 14th and 15th, there's almost nothing that isn't going just right! Make sure you get in a couple of nice, long swims to round things off right. Why not redecorate on the 20th and 21st? Whether it's your home or your office or your rock band's touring van, if you want to change things up, you should go for it! You must, must, must work out on the 25th and 26th. Otherwise, that aggression will find a less helpful outlet. A new relationship? Leap on in on the 29th.

Year 2012 Overview

Scorpio, 2012 is your year of reckoning! You worked yourself to the bone in 2011, and now you've hit a major impasse. You've got until October to continue experimenting with what you want out of life; after that, big decisions must be made. Saturn is about to take up residence in your constellation for the first time in nearly 30 years. This planet rules karma, time and integrity, so each of these will be key themes throughout the year. Your values will be tested during the last quarter of the year, so get all your ducks in a row by then to avoid the stress of Saturn's inquisition. The good news is that a weight is about to be lifted from your consciousness, and all the background melancholy you may have felt over the past few years should lighten up.

A major eclipse pattern takes hold of your stars in autumn 2012. November's total solar eclipse in Scorpio is sure to rock the very foundation of your life, so get ready for some major shifts in your relationships. Your life will definitely not be the same by the time 2013 rolls around. You're a butterfly and a phoenix - expect to shed some major skin this year.

This could also be one of the most socially driven years you've ever seen. With Mars activating your house of friendship and goals in the sign of Virgo, expect a majority of your energy to be engaged with a barrage of social situations. It's all for a good cause, however, and will translate into your bigger life goals; in fact, a good portion of the parties you attend will have some sort of work component behind them. And with glamorous Neptune moving back into your pleasure sector in February, life will suddenly become very art-house cinema for you.

Daily Flirt:

You're always puttering around the house, and today you may hit on some new configuration that really strikes a chord. Of course, housemates might have other ideas -- but you know you're right this time!

Daily Couples:

There may be some tension between you and your partner today. If one of you says something you don't mean in the heat of the moment, let it blow over. That outburst will help you blow off some steam.

Daily Singles:

You're in no rush to hook up with anyone -- and it's a beautiful thing. Instead of getting involved with the first person who stumbles in your path, play the field and scope your prospects. You can always dump Mr. Right, but you'll have to divorce Mrs. Wrong.

You'll pick up a new technique if you keep testing different ideas. Persistence is your best asset, but it could be used in ways that aren't constructive. Instead of complaining, do something to change the situation.
