SCORPIO 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.

After such a long, potent period of productivity, right now you would be wise to slow things down. This is more than just an effort to cool your engines and regroup your energies -- it's a mindset that will enable you to find the subtleties of life and enjoy them. Nuance is something that takes time, but it's a sophisticated idea that adds depth to your life. So curb your output today -- it's much wiser to be a thinker than a doer right now.

You've been dropping hints lately about a certain someone you've been spending all that time with: about how wonderful they are, how nicely they were gifted by the Gods in the physical, emotional and intellectual senses, etc. You've been going on and on. Now it's time to take your new god(dess) out to meet the gang, and prove that you really do have impeccable taste. Bet you just can't contain yourself, you're so darned happy about it. Might be fun to show up just a few minutes late, though -- don't they still call it 'fashionably late'?
