Dial up the glam squad, Scorpio! This Monday the 18th, the sun blazes into Pisces and your festive, romantic, and downright flashy fifth house for a month. Winter hibernation has officially ended as you get an early rush of spring fever. Youre the sexiest ski bunny on the slopesand the most shameless of all flirts. Go ahead and let your wild side out to play. People will find your coquettish style endearing if you dont come on TOO strong. (Be fierce, not aggressive please.) If youre single, pump up the volume on your romantic efforts. Go party among the eligible, take pictures that show off your funloving personality to post on your dating profile, work with a matchmaker even. You might just find love while burning up the dancefloorthis solar powered energy is all about celebrating life to the fullest! In a relationship? You could get a dramatic second wind this week so put your creative energy towards date planning with your sweetie. Break out the cultural guide and get some lively events on the calendar like concerts, art exhibits and any event that gives you the opportunity to dress up more than usual. The fifth house is a fertile one. If youve had babies on the brain, a pregnancy could be in the offing between now and March 20; or, you could give birth to a creative brainchild that wows the world. Got kids? Theyll need more attention from you in the next month too so make sure you include lots of playtime and field trips in your busy schedule. Wardrobe! Styling! The urge for a makeover (or a breakover if you recently ended a relationship) could strike this week. Get thee to the salon before Saturday if you want to revamp your look. Otherwise, youll want to wait until March 17 to make any style transformations. Heres why: on Saturday the 23rd, expressive Mercury turns retrograde for three weeks–never a good time to play around with permanent (or even semi-permanent) changes to your style. Plans to color your hair lavender, a la Scorpio Kelly Osbourne, could leave you with fifty unwanted shades of grey to process (and reprocess); and youll thoroughly regret that tattoo you ink in a moment of misguided spontaneity this weekend. Earlier in the week, however, the sky is the limit. Fearless self-expression could even bring you fame as youre plucked for a Street Style photo for a fashion blog, interviewed for a news segment, or called to a casting for a reality show. Oh my! Mercurys retrograde turn on the 23rd could bring some ex-flames back into the picture. No, you never thought youd hear from that hunky Australian again but suddenly hes sexting you on a Saturday night. Maybe the one who got away starts showing up in your dreams, Scorpio. If it was merely bad timing that drove you apart, it wouldnt hurt to poke around and see if a reconciliation is possible. But dont go inviting drama back into your life during Mercury retrograde. If youre bored, there are better ways to get your kicks than rehashing the same dramatic love story that ends in tragedy AGAIN! If you havent been getting enough attention from your sweetie you may be prone to acting out during Mercurys backspin. Monitor this urge carefully, Scorpio, as plans to make your boo jealous could seriously backfire. Since communication issues naturally crop up during Mercury retrograde, the direct approach is best. Heres a novel concept: you could just come out and say, Baby, I need more attention. Ask nicely and you shall receive. Theres another retrograde that begins this week and one that could affect you more than most. Structured Saturn backstrokes through Scorpio until July 7 putting you through cosmic boot camp. Between all those sizzling dates and A-lister parties, youll need to make time to work on your personal development. Dont neglect your passion project or skip out on that leadership training course you signed up for. Saturns retrograde turn is a time for going deeper and discovering the blocks to your own evolution. Yes, we all wind up being our own worst enemies from time to time. Now, you must confront your inner saboteur and ferret out all the sneaky ways you disrupt your own success just as youre about to go big time. This is a fabulous time for working with a coach or trainer to really get that one-on-one counsel that focuses on you (and you alone). If youve been trying to do too much, Saturns backspin will throw on the caution light. Its time to be more selective Scorpio, giving your time to that which helps you build in the direction YOU want to go. You might even raise your rates or cut out a client who zaps your energy without giving a great ROI. Self-worth is the basis for success now, and Saturn is going to force you to recognize just how awesome you arelike it or not!

General Characteristics of Scorpio

Intense Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, planet of power and control. Pluto is a tiny powerhouse, and a bit of a mystery; in mythology Pluto was the god of the underworld. Many Scorpios are also drawn to "dark" things, and often wear the color black, or a shocking tone like red or hot pink. Like Pluto, Scorpio's power often emanates from a hidden source, even when you don't say a word. Mysterious Scorpio is the zodiac's most misunderstood sign. You're so powerful that people feel your presence, even before you've said a word! Sensitive Scorpio picks up vibes. You see every little detail, and you can read people like an open book. Once your friends get used to your high-intensity style, they know that you're fiercely loyal. Anyone who betrays you had better watch out! Like a Scorpion, you'll deliver a painful sting of revenge. Since your sign is naturally secretive, work on being more open with people. This will develop trust, and improve your relationships. Scorpio's concentration powers are amazing, but be careful not to get obsessed. Curb any jealous or possessive feelings by pouring your energy into a creative project or passion.
