There is no doubt that Saturn's presence in your sign all year puts some pressure on you, dear Scorpio. 2013 may be demanding at times. Nevertheless, it's also bound to be very rewarding. In many ways, you are learning to count on yourself, and your relationship with yourself of course affects all life "departments" in profound ways. The responsibilities that you have let slide in the past now are coming up for close attention, and while it can sometimes feel like an onslaught, you are more than equipped to meet the challenges. Keep in mind that those things that you've managed well in the past are now being rewarded. Saturn is karmic in nature - you are experiencing what you are due at this point in time. Saturn and your ruler are in mutual reception throughout Saturn's transit of your sign, and this can be wonderfully supportive. You may very well enjoy the process as you can feel that you're getting your life back on track. The process of getting closer to your true self will involve some restructuring of your attitudes and thinking processes. The ways you communicate with others are being overhauled, refined, and redefined. You actually have much power to persuade, lead, and defend. While in a general sense your best source of support this year is yourself, Jupiter is helping you out until June by way of some financial and/or emotional support from others, and especially from a partner or close friend. Intimacy is improved. Combining your own resources, talents, and/or money with a partner can improve your own financial outlook. The second half of the year is especially growth-oriented in more explicit, tangible ways. If you get the chance to travel, you should take it, as benefits can come through long-distance experiences and people. Creatively speaking, while your general demeanor may be on the serious side, you are discovering highly unique and creative ways of expressing yourself. You are looking for more from love - it's increasingly about intimacy as well as mystical or romantic elements. You are attracting unusual, sometimes elusive or mysterious, people into your experience. Romantic and creative opportunities soar in February and March. Money matters are mostly strong in 2013. Avoid carelessness or neglect when it comes to daily routines and health. There may be a tendency to ignore your body's needs for adequate rest, exercise, or nutrition this year, and you should be especially mindful of these things in August.
2013 Details.
Until June 25th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar eighth house. During this cycle, you may see benefits in any of the areas ruled by the eighth house--joint finances, shared resources, loans, taxes, sexuality, intimacy, healing, personal transformation, research, investigation, and psychological matters. This is a time of increased psychological understanding, intimacy, and perhaps accumulation of wealth if you manage your resources well. This is an excellent time to work on financial planning and strategy. You are more capable of helping friends and loved ones who are dealing with a crisis--you can be leaned upon. Your ability to understand and accept anything that is deep in meaning or significant is enhanced now, and you instinctively realize that the path to healing is to face your fears. Any type of in-depth study or research is likely to go well. In some cases, a significant tax refund, inheritance, inheritance, or other such benefit might arrive during this transit. Financial gains may come through a partnership or there may be an increase in a spouse's income. Sexual opportunities are likely to abound, or your focus on one partner becomes more expansive, warm, and intimate. This could be a time of purging yourself of literal or psychic "junk", as there is a sense that de-cluttering your life will be beneficial to your emotional well-being. Benefit can come through jointly held resources, loans, or taxes. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar eighth house, from January 30th to June 25th.
During this Jupiter cycle, your sense of security and/or wealth can increase through a relationship with someone special or through a partner. Sources of income might also come through counselling work or the handling of others' finances or resources. In January and March especially, you would be wise to avoid taking risks with money, and possibly even your heart and body. Otherwise it's a strong period for opening yourself up to others and for feeling more confident about your own depths.
From June 25th forward, Jupiter transits your solar ninth house. Under this influence, you may have opportunities to travel, study, go abroad, expand your horizons, and meet people who are of diverse backgrounds. You might become more intellectually curious now, and academic pursuits are likely to benefit you and run smoothly during this cycle. Business dealings, particularly long-distance ones and those involving publicity and promotion, are likely to be profitable now. Legal matters might also work in your favor, or long-standing legal problems might now be ironed out. Some of you will be seeking legal advice and find it especially helpful now. A more faithful attitude towards life in general is likely now--you tend to feel that everything will work out in the end. Authors might get published now, receive good reviews, or they could significantly expand their audience. Travel is quite possible now, whether it's business or personal. Educational and travel opportunities expand your horizons. Teaching and learning are favored now. Writing and studying flow more naturally now. This is also an excellent period for positive dealings with in-laws! Your mind is more expansive and tolerant, and you are under less stress than usual. You are less inclined to sweat the small stuff. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Watch for a tendency towards a "holier than thou" attitude.
You might consider fine-tuning your natural talents and skills with higher education or experience during this cycle. You could be putting more money into these pursuits, educational, spiritual, or travel, or there can be some import-export focus in your business right now.
New learning experiences as well as "life" experiences (travel, adventures, contacts with others of a vastly different culture than yours, and so forth) are likely to emerge. Over the course of the coming year, you might have the opportunity to reach a broader audience. You might choose to learn a new language or take on other studies. Be cautious in August, however, when you could experience resistance from others, or when gossip could be part of the picture. There might also be some challenges managing your daily life during this period and you could be lured along a path that has you neglecting important duties and responsibilities.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar ninth house, from June 25th to November 6th. This transit extends into 2014.
Saturn entered your sign and your solar first house in October 2012 and will continue to transit your solar first house until 2015. Your physical body and mannerisms are a focus during this transit. Depending on your current age, it may be a time when you feel your age or accept it. This is an excellent time for beginning health regimens, diets, and the like, simply because it is a time when you look in the mirror and see yourself clearly - not only what you want to see. Your outlook on life is more serious and responsible. In the past while, you might have reached out to others in an attempt to validate yourself, looking for ways to boost your confidence. When these attempts failed, you may have felt temporarily let down and discouraged. Rest assured that Saturn will re-work these feelings, with your help of course, until you reach a point where you have a stronger sense of self. This is a year in which you can get to that point. This transit acts to transform your self-confidence in such a way that you question the source of your confidence to date, and discover a more solid base for pulling up inner strength. Saturn here acts to rip away the superficial. Illusions about the self, the body, and personal abilities will no longer be tolerated. The end result is a newfound identity and a realistic understanding of your own limitations, and your capabilities as well. In terms of career and projects, outward signs of progress may not be as forthcoming, yet the work that you do during this transit will lay a foundation for future success and progress!
Saturn conjuncts your Sun from October 2012 to October 2013. This Saturn conjunction often elicits groans and moans from those who know of Saturn's reputation in astrology, but has more productive and positive potentials than you might think. You are determined to make adjustments in your life style, your work, your home, and other areas of life. For some of you, this is not a choice, but circumstances are such that you need to reorganize. Your sense of timing and balance is superb now, and your efficiency is improved ten times over. Cleaning out closets, re-organizing the environment in which you live and work, and other such activities come to the fore. Others may turn to you for advice or recognize your competency and experience in a particular area of life. Additional training is a possibility now. Anything that requires focus and commitment benefits. Your efforts now are very constructive, and you are not inclined to want to leave any loose ends untied. You are likely to derive much satisfaction from taking care of practical concerns in your life. This is a time of long-range planning that will bring you benefits down the road. Get your affairs in order, and invest in yourself!
Authority figures or elders may be particularly helpful now, and you are more willing to humble yourself and listen to what they have to say. In fact, this can be one of the keys to your success during this period! Confronting your fears is easier now. You are taking off the rose colored glasses and seeing things for what they truly are. Communications come into strong focus for you because Saturn rules your sector of communications, learning, siblings, and transportation. More responsibilities are likely now in these areas, which should be met.
Uranus transits your sector of work, daily routines, and health this year. Uranus' presence here may throw you a few curve balls, shaking up your daily routine and perhaps your attitude towards your work and your health. At the root of this is an urge to break free from the confines of routine and some distaste for fitting into a mould. This year and in the years ahead, you are moving towards a fresh approach to how you approach your work and the daily details of your life. Irregular schedules and perhaps some disruptions and tensions are possible this year as you adjust to this influence. Your working hours may become non-traditional, or you might be moving towards a more unconventional job. You are restless with routines, and tend to answer to your own internal rhythm rather than paying attention to society's (and nature's!) rhythms. Work that is limiting or lifeless really drags you down, and you tend to approach tasks with erratic or haphazard energy--you work tirelessly at certain times, and procrastinate at other times, for example. It would be wise to find work that offers you not only variety and stimulation, but also the chance to invent and create. Progressive, part-time, or unconventional tasks hold the most appeal to you these days. You may also take an interest in alternative health methods. You would benefit greatly from yoga or other mind-body therapies now.
For those of you born early in the sign of Scorpio (October 24-29) or those with a 0 to 5-1/2 degree Scorpio Ascendant, your romantic life can become quite colorful and rich this year. You are highly romantic, but also somewhat prone to self-deception - seeing what you want to see in a lover rather than what really is. Being "in love with love" is quite probable now. Love can be very romantic for you, but it can also be complicated or downright elusive! You may find yourself falling in love with someone unattainable or attached, for example; or you might attach yourself to someone who you deem needs "saving". Use some caution in this respect. Drama in romance can be lovely, but too much of it will only leave you yearning and perhaps even heartbroken. Caution with gambling is also necessary. You are more imaginative under this influence, however, and you might take up a very artistic hobby or other creative outlet.
Scorpios born October 30-31 and November 1-2 and those of you with a Scorpio Ascendant of 2-10 degrees enjoy a favorable transit from Chiron in 2013. This influence is a subtly healing one. Others look upon you with more respect, tolerance, and acceptance. You don't feel the need to prove yourself, and that feels good. You have the chance to shine, largely because you are projecting yourself with self-respect and modesty at once. You are especially appealing and charming during this transit just by being yourself. Opportunities - both personal and professional - are likely to present themselves as a result. You are not looking for credit for what you do, which frees you up to get it anyhow! Supportive and easygoing connections to others can be made under this influence.
With Pluto, Scorpio's ruler, in Capricorn for the last few years, Scorpios are more ambitious, practical, and security-minded. This trend continues in 2013 and for many years to come. Your ruler squares Uranus in May and October-November this year, and this can bring a rather rebellious streak into your personality. You don't take kindly to others telling you what to do and when to do it. There can be some challenges managing an especially hectic schedule. It can be difficult to tend to all of the details of daily life with so much to do. Distractions can be plentiful.
The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar first house all year, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through learning about your independence, personal courage, and effectiveness. You are learning to overcome any existing fears of trusting your own instincts or going it alone.
Eclipses in 2013 fall mostly in your solar first and seventh houses, and issues of personal courage, confidence, and independence come to the fore. Eclipses also alert you to the need to interact with others - either the public, or through a close partnership. For some, marriage or divorce will be an issue. For most, carving out a personal identity that includes a significant other who furthers their own personal growth will come into focus. In October, a Lunar Eclipse in Aries points you in the direction of work, health, routine, and habits.
With your ruler, Pluto, in supportive aspect to Saturn in your sign (and in mutual reception), you are in a very empowering position. You can excel and achieve, feeling powerful as you do.
You have more faith in yourself and in life itself in the second half of the year. You are reclaiming your personal power, and you insist that others accept you for who you are. Nevertheless, you are making important internal changes.
This year, there can be opportunities to spread your word and broaden your audience. Others are likely to turn to you for advice. Teaching may play a big role in your life in 2013. Authors will find a broader audience. Trips could be especially rewarding for you - they can provide a pleasant breather from pressures in your life. You have a strong interest in broadening your mental experiences in general, and finding expression of your personality through them, perhaps through higher education or exploring different philosophies of life. Some travel is quite possible this year. More involvement with your immediate environment, community, and neighborhood may also figure strongly this year. You are in the position to inspire others through what you create this year. Do your best to create something tangible out of your ideas. You are bound to reach a broader audience if you do, and the feedback will feed the flames of your own inspiration. Your creative abilities are reflected in your outlook on life and love and romance are life experiences you strongly identify with. Children may be a stronger focus this year as well. You are more effective, in general, in attempts at expressing your creativity. You have a stronger ability to hold the attention of an audience. Love, love affairs, and other social activities help to enhance a healthy self image.
Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) - 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
There is no doubt that Saturn's presence in your sign all year puts some pressure on you, dear Scorpio. 2013 may be demanding at times. Nevertheless, it's also bound to be very rewarding.

Uranus transits your sector of work, daily routines, and health this year for those born November 3-5 and whose Ascendant is 10-12-1/2 Scorpio. Uranus' presence here may throw you a few curve balls, shaking up your daily routine and perhaps your attitude towards your work and your health. At the root of this is an urge to break free from the confines of routine and some distaste for fitting into a mould.

For those born November 6-12 and with a Scorpio Ascendant of 13 to 20 degrees Scorpio, Uranus continues to transit your solar fifth house. During this cycle that has already been underway for many 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 and 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. This long-term cycle is nearing completion.
Neptune continues its transit of your fourth house, perhaps bringing some confusion about your connections to your past, family, or home life.
Scorpios born November 3-7 and those of you with a Scorpio Ascendant of 10-14 degrees enjoy a favorable transit from Chiron in 2013. This influence is a subtly healing one.

It can be difficult to tend to all of the details of daily life with so much to do. Distractions can be plentiful. As well, it would be wise to guard against risky financial moves. You might find some conflict involving your pursuit of pleasure this year. Unsettled financial matters could get in the way of your desire to indulge in extra-curricular activities. However, your strong sense of responsibility should get you on the right track.
The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar first house until August, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through learning about your independence, personal courage, and effectiveness. You are learning to overcome any existing fears of trusting your own instincts or going it alone. From August forward, the North Node is pointing you in the direction of spirituality, down time, and faith. Your path is to attempt to let go of unnecessary worry and guilt, and to trust in a larger more spiritual plan.
Eclipses in 2013 fall mostly in your solar first and seventh houses, and issues of personal courage, confidence, and independence come to the fore.

2013 Details.
Until May 12th, Jupiter continues to transit your solar seventh house, and you may enjoy benefits through marriage, serious partnerships, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, negotiations, and/or contractual agreements. This is a period in which you are more likely to establish, or solidify, a significant partnership; or you could be enhancing an existing relationship. You can negotiate more successfully than usual, and, if applicable, you are that much more likely to win in legal matters or other forms of official negotiations. Financial benefits could possibly come through partnerships. For most of you who are already partnered, you are likely to find more joy in close relationships due to a more easygoing and tolerant attitude towards others and partnering in general. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past might more easily be resolved now, and even more casual disputes are likely to be settled during this cycle. The need for freedom in your social relationships is strong, however, and if it is not forthcoming, you could feel caged in and restless. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from same. Good publicity may come your way. If your work involves the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, or you might receive good reviews, feedback, or word-of-mouth opportunities. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, or successful new ones are entered into this year. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Also, although Jupiter is generally considered a positive and happy energy, close relationships could end during this cycle, but if they do, it's generally in order to move on to a happier, healthier, more tolerant relationship. A warm, open, and honest approach to others wins you positive new relationships, or enhances existing ones.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar seventh house, from January 30th to May 12th.
During this Jupiter cycle, your sense of security and/or wealth can increase through a relationship with someone special or through a partner. Sources of income might also come through counselling work.
From May 12th forward, Jupiter transits your solar eighth house. During this cycle, you may see benefits in any of the areas ruled by the eighth house--joint finances, shared resources, loans, taxes, sexuality, intimacy, healing, personal transformation, research, investigation, and psychological matters. This is a time of increased psychological understanding, intimacy, and perhaps accumulation of wealth if you manage your resources well. This is an excellent time to work on financial planning and strategy. You are more capable of helping friends and loved ones who are dealing with a crisis--you can be leaned upon. Your ability to understand and accept anything that is deep in meaning or significant is enhanced now, and you instinctively realize that the path to healing is to face your fears. Any type of in-depth study or research is likely to go well. In some cases, a significant tax refund, inheritance, inheritance, or other such benefit might arrive during this transit. Financial gains may come through a partnership or there may be an increase in a spouse's income. Sexual opportunities are likely to abound, or your focus on one partner becomes more expansive, warm, and intimate. This could be a time of purging yourself of literal or psychic "junk", as there is a sense that de-cluttering your life will be beneficial to your emotional well-being. Benefit can come through jointly held resources, loans, or taxes. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar eighth house, from May 12th to November 6th.
Saturn transits your solar twelfth house again this year. Saturn turns 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 many 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. Health issues, generally of a psychosomatic nature, may have come to the fore. Do your best not to dwell on past failures or guilt for what you haven't done during this cycle. Detach yourself from these things as much as possible.
Saturn entered your sign in October 2012, but will not reach a conjunction to your Sun until the beginning of 2014.
The influences of Uranus and Neptune are similar to that of last year. Neptune continues its transit of 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 many 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 and 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. This long-term cycle is nearing completion.
With Pluto, Scorpio's ruler, in Capricorn for the last few years, Scorpios are more ambitious, practical, and security-minded. This trend continues in 2013 and for many years to come. Your ruler squares Uranus in May and October-November this year, and this can bring a rather rebellious streak into your personality. You don't take kindly to others telling you what to do and when to do it. It would be wise to guard against risky financial moves. You might find some conflict involving your pursuit of pleasure this year. Unsettled financial matters could get in the way of your desire to indulge in extra-curricular activities. However, your strong sense of responsibility should get you on the right track.
The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar first house until March, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through learning about your independence, personal courage, and effectiveness. You are learning to overcome any existing fears of trusting your own instincts or going it alone. From March forward, the North Node is pointing you in the direction of spirituality, down time, and faith. Your path is to attempt to let go of unnecessary worry and guilt, and to trust in a larger more spiritual plan.
Eclipses in 2013 fall mostly in your solar first and seventh houses and your sixth and twelfth houses. Issues of personal courage, confidence, and independence come to the fore. Eclipses also alert you to the need to interact with others - either the public, or through a close partnership. For some, marriage or divorce will be an issue. For most, carving out a personal identity that includes a significant other who furthers their own personal growth will come into focus. Additionally, issues of work, service, and health (both mental/spiritual, and physical), come into focus. Circumstances are such that you need to develop some healthy habits, routines, and schedules. Recognizing your personal limitations in terms of just how much you can give to others and just how much compassion and understanding you can show is essential now. It's time to structure your life. You are learning to rid yourself of guilt about under-performing. Issues of guilt, worry, and anxiety need to be managed this year.
With your ruler, Pluto, in supportive aspect to Saturn in your sign (and in mutual reception), you are in a very empowering position. You can excel and achieve, feeling powerful as you do.
