The question is whether it is worth setting higher goals and taking a risk that things won’t work out. If you are in doubt about this, think back to when you faced a similar dilemma and went for it. You took a chance. And not only did you do well, you did better than you expected and had the bonus of having a tremendous feeling of victory. Take chances now and you will have the same benefits.
Sometimes listening and saying nothing is the best option
If there is any theme for your birthday, it could be “endings and beginnings.” That is because your birthday continues the winding up of one season (summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere) and the move into another: the beginning of fall in the northern hemisphere and spring in the southern hemisphere. But it is also about a battle between the ruler of the previous sign, Libra, which is Venus, and your own ruling planet, Pluto, or, indeed, Mars. In every case, this is about contrasts.
Still, as a Scorpio you prefer to live life with grace and clarity. When these challenges arise, you will tend to stick with the familiar rather than allow unsettling changes to confuse things. However, as you will increasingly realize, often those changes aren’t mere changes. They are breakthroughs that are taking you in new directions. That is very much the theme for your birthday.
While the fixed sign side of your nature is a mark of stability—and it means you know what you can expect and what others will expect from you—the greatest expectation at the moment is your willingness to begin to explore, even if it means venturing into unfamiliar territory. Once you do, you’ll not only know why, you will be glad you did.
There have often been times when you have tried to avoid the ups and downs of life. Yet as you’ve lived more, you’ve found that ups are exciting while the downs help you understand the nature of your deepest feelings far better than you would’ve imagined possible—so much so that you may even begin to embrace them.
An affection for a regimen is great, because whether it is how you eat or a form of exercise, it means you’re taking care of yourself. Yet there is a problem if it’s compulsory because you haven’t included joy. This is the trick for you; find a way to add that and not only will you feel and look great, you will blossom in your deepest heart.
The question is whether it is worth setting higher goals and taking a risk that things won’t work out. If you are in doubt about this, think back to when you faced a similar dilemma and went for it. You took a chance. And not only did you do well, you did better than you expected and had the bonus of having a tremendous feeling of victory. Take chances now and you will have the same benefits.
You have been battling certain individuals about important details, or so they seemed. Now that you’re looking back, you are beginning to realize you were sidestepping the real issue. Deep down, you know what it is. The challenge is raising it. Once you do, everything else will be easy.

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.
