Mental sharpness, mental health, and mental focus remain themes throughout 2019.  You have been challenged to keep negative thoughts and worries at bay, as you discipline your mind in different ways. New communication platforms and educational pursuits are in store. Not only is a subtle but transformative unlearning in effect, so too is relearning.  

The year begins with eclipses. A solar eclipse brings a new start to learning endeavors on January 5th, while a lunar eclipse on January 21st brings a shift on the work front. Many of you may be going back to school to launch an entirely new career. Fresh stimulus is likely, whether you are exploring a new professional field, or undergoing vocational training. Opportunities to increase your income and material wealth are highlighted throughout the entire year. Education could lead to greater compensation for your work and services. 

The pressure to learn and share vocational talents will be felt throughout the spring. You may be challenged to identify and amplify new trade skills, overcoming fears of rejection. Ultimately, this may lead to a new creative outlet. Writing and studying could become platforms for self-expression. 

With that said, self-expression may be misunderstood come March. Delays around creative projects are possible. This could even affect you on the romantic front if trying to find the right words to share with a lover. Upsets involving children are also likely, especially if there are arguments. 

Try not to get too discouraged if you find that creative outputs are blocked. By April, you will have identified other ways to get your message across and promote your talents. In fact, April ensures that charming words bear fruit, as relationship matters peak. 

An influence that began in 2018 will encourage you to take a more deliberate approach to cultivating intimate connections. Abrupt events and instability may color your relationship experience, but being flexible will keep you at ease. This is a year to build sturdier foundations in connections with others.

As we reach the summer months, two more eclipses bring new developments. A solar eclipse on July 2nd may encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone for educational growth and expansion, while the lunar eclipse on July 16th sees you leaving comfort behind. Enrollment in a licensing program or training could broaden your skillset. FYI, there may be some delays around enrollment starting mid-July through August. Same is true if you are moving abroad or focused on international travel; responsibilities at home could trip you up. Patience is key – all will resolve by September. 

The fall months, meanwhile, come with a lot of energy as a stellium of planets above bring focus to your career and networking. The pursuit of initiatives that encourage professional growth could lead to career advancement. If you are getting certified in a certain trade, kr launching a life-long entrepreneurial venture, it could be what leads to a new vocational path. Furthermore, you will find the support needed through certain networks should you put yourself out there.

With that said, there may be a few setbacks in November causing you to doubt yourself and your abilities. If your efforts are blocked, lean back. Forward momentum comes December in time for the final eclipse of the year. 

2019 ends with a parting gift as Jupiter begins it transit of Capricorn, where the solar eclipse will peak on December 26th. Expansion of your mind continues. You will end the year on a wiser note.
 
Happy New Year, Scorpio!

This will be a year of significant growth, Scorpio. Learning and education will fill your days. Whether you find yourself in a classroom setting, or new “on the job” training, your mind will be challenged to deepen and focus. Communication in general will require greater attention and discipline, whether you are writing your dissertation, or finishing your first novel. Your thinking, overall, will undergo a profound transformation – pay attention to mental health as this metamorphosis unfolds.

The year begins with you learning a new trade, and this will carry you through eclipse season in February. A completion of activity on the career front is highlighted. This could see you finishing up a certification, or ending your tenure at an organization to focus on higher aims. A new start on the home and family front features too. You may need to shift your attention to what matters most, including domestic activities with close loved ones.

The spring months bring busier days, with a few schedule disruptions highlighted. There may be some back and forth around a health matter, or simple delays when it comes to long standing obligations, chores, and other responsibilities. You would be wise to schedule important appointments in advance, and try to avoid any major health procedures mid-March through mid-April. The elements of your daily life will begin to move forward by the end of April.

May will be an especially important month for relationships. A new cycle in effect is set to bring changes to relational dynamics with significant others. Sudden new beginnings are possible, along with sudden endings. No matter your experience, flexibility will be required of you so that you can stand on solid ground with partners of all kinds – business or romantic.

The summer months, meanwhile, will be choppy months for us all. Three eclipses rock our world instead of just the regular two, and you, specifically, will experience obstacles on the home and family front. If you are purchasing property, dealing with renovations, or navigating domestic tension, there may be severe delays starting around June. A lunar eclipse in July will bring a hard stop to such activities, forcing you to find another way around setbacks.

Events that unfold during the months of July and August could bring a fresh start on the career front. Opportunities to expand and grow in your vocation of choice are possible, especially if you are traveling afar, or enrolling in a higher learning program. You may have to leave the comforts of “home” to broaden your experience. August will bring more minor delays involving career, but all will move forward by the time we enter the month of September.

The cosmic weather come fall will be calmer, and a re-assessment of how much you have grown since the beginning of the year will be in effect starting around mid-October through November. What new experiences have propelled you to where you are now? How can you continue to broaden your personal life, focusing on self-promotion and development? These questions will be up for review; be intentional as you begin to more firmly commit to your own personal agenda.

The year ends with growing activity around money and finances. There may be some back and forth involving salary, compensation, or property matters, so wait until the end of 2018 before making any big financial decisions. A year of abundance will be underway in 2019, and you deserve it! Consider what you value, and how you are valued. You are set for a successful year, Scorpio –congratulations!

The cosmos has given you somewhat of a reprieve, Scorpio. I am sure you would agree that the past few years have brought many challenges; you have learned a great deal, and very soon, luck and fortune will be knocking at your door. All you must do is welcome them with open arms, and embrace the abundance they wish to share. But first, let’s get you through 2017!
 
The year begins with quite a bit of activity in your neighborhood and surrounding environment. You may be taking a few short trips, engaged in education and learning initiatives, or simply involved in increased communications and interactions with others. Writing and speaking engagements are highlighted – so too are trainings and workshops. This is all setting you up for a busy start to your New Year, and it comes with a few glitches and delays, courtesy of Mercury Retrograde. Obstacles may manifest as misunderstandings, mechanical breakdowns, and technological malfunctions. None of this is good or bad, dear Scorpio – it just is. These things will begin to move forward by the beginning of February.
 
February, meanwhile, is an important month that could lead to a new chapter beginning. Eclipses see you walking away from a longstanding career or profession, shifting your focus to creative projects and endeavors, even an entrepreneurial initiative. The same is true in August; eclipses bring career opportunities that could see you relocating, or simply turning a “home grown” venture into something that generates income. Of course, you must be open to all that is possible; remember luck and fortune knocking at your door? Change is inevitable, and this time it is for good.
 
As the energy of eclipses unfold throughout the year, you will also experience increased activity in your daily life during the spring. March and April see you focused on your health and well-being, along with the chores and responsibilities that make up your day-to-day. You may find it difficult to get a full grasp of all the tasks on your plate during this time, especially at work, and this could lead to excess stress and anxiety. It is equally possible that you attempt to revamp your health through fitness and exercise, but going to extremes is also possible. Be mindful of health matters and physical ailments. A common cold could become more than you anticipated, while doctors and procedures seem unreliable. May and June are months when the activities of your everyday life begin to calm. Until then, hold off on making any big decisions, primarily with regards to your health. 
 
The fall months see you gearing up for the riches I spoke of earlier. By now, career matters have been resolved, and your involvement with a new group, organization, or company feels more settled. By October, you will begin to benefit from opportunities that bring personal growth and self-promotion. Your confidence will increase as you dive deeper into a life direction that suits you.
 
The end of 2017 brings a final shift that has you more focused on mental pursuits in the form of writing, speaking, and education. 2018 looks to be your year Scorpio, and you deserve it!
 
Happy New Year, Scorpio!

The big development for you in 2015 is a poignant shift from self-discipline, focus, and the overcoming of personal fears – to reward for your efforts, increased self-esteem and knowing your worth! The past couple of years have not been easy. You have been forced to become your own authority with regards to how you choose to live your life, and in the process, you have had to get past a few ego tricks, re-examine important relationships, and dive into activities that would allow you to self-actualize. If you showed up to task with intent and purpose, you will be able to look back in hindsight, amazed by your progress! Congratulations, it’s official. You have made it through your rite of passage. You can stamp the year 2014 with a customized banner that reads: “newly transformed!”

So now what?

Well, now you have to start believing in yourself a little more. That means showing off your skills, gifts, and talents, while demanding proper compensation in both love and money. Doubts and settling are not welcome. While you may feel unsure of how to promote your authenticity, there will be enough fertile energy to motivate you, especially in March courtesy of a Solar Eclipse. Family planning may very well be a part of this energy too. Financial dealings and a values assessment require your attention if you’re buying a home, welcoming a new baby, or forging a business venture (just wait until the end of February before signing on the dotted line!).

Personal investments and creative endeavors will mostly play out on the career front, as you spend the first few months of the year contemplating your current vocation. Jupiter, the planet of benevolence, is encouraging you to grow in this area, so start thinking big; playing small isn’t welcome either. Tapping into your artistic genius will be necessary if you hope to change certain areas of life, namely anything that has to do with your sense of purpose. The spring months would be prime time to set new professional goals – May and June will be your busiest. The summer may bring setbacks, however, which will represent a time for further review. But September through the end of the year brings a meeting of minds that will support your dreams for the future.

In fact Scorpio, I would encourage you to dream big too! The second half of 2015 is all a buzz, and serves as your queue to take life to that next level. Fresh faces will appear at this time inspiring a directional shift, and you may find that elements of your daily life must now accommodate any changes set in motion. Truth be told, the need for more freedom in your day-to-day has been insatiable, as your interests in learning new subjects continue to transform your way of life. I suggest you learn to adjust; added space throughout your day would allow time for you to do more of what you love! 2015 really is your oyster. The sky really is the limit.

Happy New Year, Scorpio!
