SCORPIO OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21

LIFESTYLE, CAREER AND GOALS

If you didn’t understand the nature of the last half of 2017, you’d wonder what was going on, and worry about the numerous changes, and in a bizarre range of areas of your life, that are beyond your control. Each of these is preparing you for the powerful, thrilling but, occasionally, unsettling cycle of growth that begins in October, with the move by fortunate Jupiter into Scorpio.

While you might already be aware of certain ideas, offers or possibilities, what’s best could be least expected. However, when you look back on the months of July, August and September, you’ll realise that sudden and seemingly random events were de-cluttering your life, your diary and your thinking, and making way for the extraordinary and often unexpected developments ushered in by mighty Jupiter’s presence in your sign for a year.

This brings expansion, personally, professionally, and often introduces new ideas, people or activities. Despite that, initially these could seem uninteresting, a distraction or even a disruption when, in fact, they’re about breakthroughs. Knowing that, explore every idea, encounter or offer, unlikely as it seems. At minimum, you’ll learn something. But some could transform your life, and in wonderful, if entirely unexpected, ways.

MONEY

The most important things to bear in mind during this cycle of growth and discovery is the difference between having money in the bank, and encountering ideas, offers or events that will expose you to financially worthwhile activities or links. Tempting and, indeed, logical as it is to stick with something you know, Jupiter’s presence in Scorpio, from October 10 until November 8, 2018, is about discovery, in every form. Thus, you’ll want to deal with here and now matters, then focus your time on the exploration that this cycle, which occurs only every twelve years, is about.

This focuses on departing your comfort zone and learning about profitable ideas, meeting people who, perhaps, are intimidating or force you to venture into new territory, in terms of ideas, activities or even fun.

Because this isn’t only about your finances, it’s about wealth in every area of your life – a wealth of happiness with others, and of self-worth, personally. This, in turn, fosters a zest for life that’s infectious, that makes every day exciting but, as importantly, draws others to you, individuals who’re eager to work with you, and eager to join in the process of turning exciting, and often new, ideas into profitable activities.

FAMILY AND RELATIONSHIPS

A happily settled family life and, equally, warming and supportive friendships are, clearly, fundamental to living well. Yet when things become too settled, and predictable routine replaces a capacity for spontaneity, life can lose its sparkle. This is a risk for you, as a Scorpio and somebody who enjoys getting things organised ‘just so’. During the period between July and mid-October, you’ll face sudden and seemingly random events, which will trigger changes in your personal or family routine.

Tempting as it is to do the minimum or return to those familiar habits swiftly, view this as a chance to explore. Better yet, this is preparing you, and those around you, to broaden your horizons, in terms of your habits, the places you go, what you do to relax, even your dreams.

This isn’t about a single day or reorganising the existing routine. It’s about discovering new things to do, and in those, discovering new and powerful links with those who matter most. Those seeking a long-term relationship will benefit hugely from this; in broadening your circle, you’re giving yourself new, and exciting options, ones that will be rewarding now, and in the future.

YOUR ECLIPSE BREAKTHROUGH

What initially seem unwelcome or unfair changes in your way of living or working lead to breakthroughs, and to improvements you’d previously regarded as unlikely, if not impossible.

Focus on the EXPLORATION that this cycle, which occurs only EVERY TWELVE YEARS, is about: Depart your comfort zone, LEARN about PROFITABLE ideas and meet people who are INTIMIDATING
