Setting goals and acting on them is important. There will be those who tell you that the minute you’re clear about that goal, it is important to act on it, but a part of you as a Scorpio and a fixed sign tends to wait. But then sometimes you wait too long and the moment has passed. How do you know? The best answer is to think whether you would regret not plunging in right now. Usually that will result in you taking action right away.
Often others misinterpret my silence as agreement when I meant “No”
For you as a Scorpio, the line between what is private and spoken—that is, what you don’t discuss and what you talk about easily—is very clear: or at least it is clear to you. However, that line actually moves from day to day and even from subject to subject and mood to mood. Yet at the same time, if you’re feeling uptight or concerned, a part of you gets very grumpy and says, “Why would I talk about that to anybody else?”
There are those around you, though—it may be a family member, it may be a close friend, or it may be somebody you trust—who you will reveal more to than anybody else. Gradually, as a Scorpio, one of your journeys is being able to discuss these matters more openly with family and with friends, so they understand you better, but also so that you can begin to realize how long they’ve known and understood everything anyway.
This is the key to being a Scorpio among those who love you. While you think that what you’re hiding are deep, dark secrets that nobody understands, the fact is they do. They are just being patient with you, because they’ve known you weren’t ready to talk about it. The more swiftly you begin to discuss both concerns and your heartfelt passions, the more swiftly you will be able to enjoy time with those closest.
There are many different kinds of intimacy with others: not so much physical intimacy, although that is important, but how much you trust certain individuals. Just as the Moon goes from the sliver of the New Moon to the Full Moon and back to the sliver of the New Moon, so, too, your feelings of trust evolve.
These days, there is constant discussion about what’s good for you, food-wise. But how do you truly know what’s good for you? Well, as a Scorpio and someone who is highly intuitive, you can probably ask your body how it feels when you eat something. That will tell you far more than anyone else ever could.

Unsettling as recent events seemed at the time, you’re beginning to recognize that they were breakthroughs. True, these weren’t in the form you’ve anticipated and could take things in worryingly unexpected directions. Be patient. The more you explore and learn, the more optimistic you’ll be.
