When you set goals, they are almost set in stone, because that’s your nature. Has it ever occurred to you that if those goals aren’t working out, or in fact, if the circumstances in which they’re set are shifting, it’s fine to change them, and to change them midstream, or even to dump them? Give that some thought, because every once in a while, it will be the best-possible strategy.
I’ve learned how dangerous saying “I’ll try” is. Either I commit or I forget it
Being born on November 1st, particularly if it’s in the northern hemisphere, you are looking at matters of light and dark, perhaps in the world around you, the shorter days and the longer nights. But also, this is light and dark in the terms of your own nature. As a Scorpio and somebody ruled by the planet Pluto, part of you understands that elements of life either can’t be explained, or you need to step back and allow the power of nature to take over.
Yet at the same time, part of you wants to ensure that things go in the direction you want, and this is part of the battle of being a Scorpio. At the same time, however, it is crucial for you to stand back and recognize that often what you regard a ideal may not be in the best interests of you or the world around you, those who you care about, or perhaps a project.
It may be that you are being taken on a journey of discovery. What you encounter or learn as a result of that journey will benefit you in wonderful ways, will broaden your horizons, and may even help explore that dark. And that is very much part of this, because you’ll realize that by allowing yourself to be taken on that path through the darkness, you’ll get a different kind of light: the kind that will illuminate your life, now and throughout the years to come.
People say you’re perceptive, and increasingly, you realize how true that is, that there are certain things you notice that others don’t. And that capacity to spot more than others means that often, you will not only be explaining things to certain individuals, you will become their defender or their guide.
There is a portion of you that feels like if you can figure out what you should do, that is, how you should eat and how you should work out. Everything will be fine. However, ups and downs are normal—just as there is day and night. Your own energy will have its surges, and times when you need to be still. The most important thing is to honor those cycles.
When you set goals, they are almost set in stone, because that’s your nature. Has it ever occurred to you that if those goals aren’t working out, or in fact, if the circumstances in which they’re set are shifting, it’s fine to change them, and to change them midstream, or even to dump them? Give that some thought, because every once in a while, it will be the best-possible strategy.
Sometimes mistakes are a nuisance, but often they’re minor, and dealing with them requires little thought. While those you are currently facing are more complex, what you learn in the process of untangling them will answer questions or allow you to delve into issues you’ve been wrestling with for ages.
Scorpio: OCTOBER 22 – NOVEMBER 20
Ruler: Pluto

Element: Water

Compelling by nature and style, as a Scorpio—whose symbol is your namesake, the scorpion—you beguile with your mystery as much as by what you say or do. Whatever your chosen field, your insights will be unique and your capacity for intimacy compelling—perhaps influenced by your ruler, Pluto, who reigns in the underworld. Your flower is rhododendron; your spices are peppers; and your plant, blackthorn. The mysterious opal mirrors your alluring secrets.
