Horoscope:
Scorpio (October 23-November 22)
March 2009
Love is in the air! The month begins with the Sun in Pisces, your fifth house of romance and creativity. Sure, Valentine's Day was last month, but better late than never. It's time for a Spring fling, either with a brand-new flame or through rekindled passion with your sweetie.
The fifth house also rules fertility, so if you're thinking of expanding your brood, baby news could be on the way. You or someone close to you has the metaphorical stork circling. The baby odds are increased by Jupiter, planet of expansion, which is spending 2009 in your family sector. It's a cycle where many people change their views on children, often through creating a more mature relationship with their own parents. So, if you're not up for diaper duty, take some extra precautions, Scorpio!
Things heat up even more mid-month, when sexy Mars enters your fifth house from March 14-April 22. You won't be able to leave the house without being checked out. Not that your slinky sign isn't used to turning heads, but you'll notice a little extra va-voom seems to be following you. That's Mars, lending you its mojo. If you're single, it's a great time to meet someone, so hang out at places where you'll find prospective partners with common interests and values.
That's all-around good news, since the rest of the zodiac is having a few extra setbacks in the love department. Venus, planet of romance, is retrograde (backward) from March 6-April 17. Retrogrades bring back the past, so you might hear from an ex, or need to rehash an old wound with your mate. Perhaps there are still a few burning embers from a painful encounter that need to be fully healed. Face the situation now, and you'll gain true closure.
An old sense of perfectionism could flare up, and you might find yourself feeling more anxious about love than usual. Venus is bringing out a few neurotic tendencies for Scorpio, along with some control issues. Try to separate between fact and fear. Your imagination may inflate little misunderstandings into huge dramas. It's so not worth it, Scorpio.
Mostly, though, the Venus retrograde will center around loving yourself—particularly your body. Venus is in Aries, your sixth house of fitness and well-being. If you're feeling that post-Winter schlumpiness, or just all-around blah, it's time for a total health makeover. You've fallen into a bad habit or two, and it's time to get serious about the impact.
Even if it's meant you don't dress up as much, or you're less expressive with your body, there's a larger toll than you think. Scorpio is a very physical sign, and you experience the world through movement and your senses. It's hard to connect to that laserbeam intuition when you're feeling distant from your body. After all, that's where the "gut feelings" that guide you live. This month, get to work on identifying any blocks, patterns or habits that come between you and a feeling of sexy abandon!
You'll get more support in this area after March 20, when the Sun moves
into Aries. Then, on the 26th, a new moon helps you start a brand-new healthy
chapter.
The sixth house also rules organization, so don't just detox your body.
Take a total approach: revamp your organization system, blast through files
and trash old papers. The kitchen is also ruled by this part of your chart,
so give yours some love. Throw out old spices, donated canned goods, and
gather some favorite recipes so you can nurture yourself with healthy,
delicious food.
Your friendships and associations come center stage near the March 11 Virgo full moon. On that day, the Virgo full moon lights up your eleventh house of group activity. Anything you started in September (at the Virgo new moon) will blossom now. A team project comes to a powerful manifestation point. Parties and networking events around this day will hold more promise than you imagine.
This full moon will form a harmonious angle to your ruler Pluto, which is in your communications sector. An online or humanitarian project gets special support, especially if it involves writing, speaking or community activism. The people you meet around this day could have a profound mark on your life, so be ready to make new connections wherever you can.
Scorpio, it's time to choose your friends wisely. Do you have enough power players in your circle? Surround yourself with the real movers and shakers. Although it's nice to be the Alpha dog in top position, maybe you've outgrown that. If so, it's time to stop being the big fish in the small pond. Let yourself be a goldfish among giant whales for a while. It will give you something exciting to grow into.
