2009 Scorpio horoscope
There. More OMG HOUSE!!!!...sigh.
For all Scorpios, you are becoming more resolute, determined, and courageous in 2009. You are more able to free yourself from limiting personal habits. Relationships are improved as you feel stronger and more comfortable in your own skin.
From June 6-July 5, the cosmos are stirring up your passions in a close partnership. Some Scorpios will meet a special someone during this period. There are likely to be some tests and challenges brought to your friendships and more casual relationships in 2009, as you are weeding out all that is superficial.
Saturn continues to transit your solar eleventh house until October 29. Long-term goals for personal fulfillment come into focus and give you a sense of moving forward in a positive direction. Some added responsibilities are likely during this period, but they are not felt to be burdens. In fact, you are likely to find satisfaction in doing your share. One of the key elements of success this year involves humbling yourself to the advice of older persons, authority figures, or parents. These people are likely to help you further your goals, and a non-defensive reaction will allow you to listen and take out of it what works for you. Some of your past efforts may be rewarded now, perhaps in small but tangible ways. This is a time when you invest in yourself and in the people around you that you respect. Benefits may not be immediate, but they will surely arrive down the road. Projects begun now can have long-term benefits. Finances are likely to be quite strong and reliable now.
For those of you born from October 24-28 or with a Scorpio Ascendant of 0-4 degrees, Saturn transits your solar twelfth house from October 29 and into 2010. You may have many vague fears and anxieties that act to undermine your confidence during the course of this transit. Contemplation of the meaning of your existence, your accomplishments, and your "failures" may figure. Saturn is turning a critical eye to all that lies beneath the surface, and you are forced to do some serious "spring cleaning" of your psyche during this period. You are facing your own demons—the vague yet haunting fears that undermine you. We all have skeletons in our closet. What we don't always realize is that they can seriously undermine our happiness and well-being. Saturn sweeps through your "closet" (the twelfth house), and demands that you take a hard look at what's been hiding in there. Is this process uncomfortable? For most of us, it can be. But getting rid of outdated attachments, and examining and discarding irrational fears, is not only necessary for further growth and development—it's ultimately a huge relief. The twelfth house in some ways is a dumping ground for things we have left "undone". Saturn here wants us to sort through the junk and keep only those things that we truly need for future development. This process can be rather lengthy and it can feel very slow, but if done properly, it can be most rewarding. You tend to deal with endings rather than new beginnings during this transit, as you shed outdated attachments and unconsciously prepare yourself for Saturn's transit of the first house beginning in late 2012, when you will work diligently on your individuality and personal identity. You are markedly introspective at this time, perhaps isolating yourself from worldly activities and acquaintances in some manner. Health issues, generally of a psychosomatic nature, may come to the fore. You may be attracted to alternate ways of living, and to self-study fields, such as psychoanalysis.
Many of you will be monetizing a creative hobby.
Neptune continues its transit to your fourth house, perhaps bringing some confusion about your connections to your past, family, or home life. Uranus continues to transit your fifth house. During this cycle that has already been underway for some years, you tend towards unconventional ways of expressing yourself and your creativity. Your hobbies can be out of the ordinary, and so can your relationships with children and lovers, depending on how this cycle is affecting you. Sudden developments or surprises in your romantic life are par for the course with Uranus here. This is a time when you free yourself of personal inhibitions that may have been part of your life in the past. It's a time of more spontaneous expression. This is a playful, somewhat eccentric, position for Uranus. Casual love affairs that have grown stale may be left behind now. You may also attract unusual romances or romantic partners into your life during this cycle.
With Pluto, your ruler, now solidly in Capricorn, you are becoming more goal-oriented, less free-wheeling, and certainly more concerned about preparing for your future. For some of you, those born October 24-27 and those with a Scorpio Ascendant of 0-3 degrees, Pluto sextiles your Sun, bringing some wonderful benefits to you. Subtle yet deep changes within you affect your relationships to others, as well as the manner in which you present yourself. Your integrity is strengthened through the course of this long-term transit. It's a time to pursue the dreams, ideals, and ideas you have put on the back burner. Take creative risks, as well as personal ones, with your newfound confidence.
January's Solar Eclipse falls in your solar fourth house. In the first half of 2009, it's time to take steps to improve your family and home life. The Solar eclipse represents a cosmic nudge towards taking charge of your private life. February's Lunar Eclipse falls in your solar tenth house, and you may need to review and change your career goals. Career matters come to a head. You're called to perform, perhaps on a moment's notice, and it's best to keep your cool and do whatever you can to show your competence.
July's Solar and Lunar Eclipses fall in your ninth and third houses respectively. In the second half of the year, you will be learning to expand your horizons, either through contact with people from an entirely different background than yours, travel, or higher learning. Your personal philosophy will be changing, and this eclipse gives you a push towards adopting beliefs that truly work for you in the real world. You are learning about your need for self-expression through adventure. There may also be some sort of drama surrounding communication, modes of transportation, mobility, neighbors, or siblings.
The August Lunar Eclipse falls in your solar fourth house. Domestic conditions are illuminated with the Lunar Eclipse. House repairs, family dramas, and other such issues need serious attention. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It's time to prioritize.
