Georgia Nicols' Scorpio Forecast for 2008

Matter cannot be created or destroyed, nor can it be returned without a receipt.

Your Secret Past

In the early 90s, you tried hard to create a home for yourself. You had to figure where to live -- rural, urban, or Mars -- and if you had the money, you wanted to buy land, a house, condo or a teepee. Many of you worked on repairs and renovations where you already were.

Around 1994-95, increased responsibilities with children and a desire to get in touch with what was you really wanted to do were your primary focus. You worked hard to juggle everything, and in 1999-2000, you entered the world in a more dramatic way. People noticed you! You felt powerful! You looked good! However, relationships underwent major changes. Many ended, while others began.

By 2005-06, you were strrrong like bull. This was a time of harvest. Dreams came true. Important projects were completed. You earned applause from your peers. With lucky Jupiter in your sign in 2006, your optimism and enthusiasm for life grew. These were confident years. Naturally, they weren't perfect. (The best things in life are for a fee.)

Attack from Mars!

Mars rules war and aggression. It also rules our muscles, and how we assert ourselves in all our relationships. Mars takes about two years to orbit the planet so it stays in each sign for about seven weeks. But lo! Due to a celestial dustup, Mars entered Cancer on Sept 28th, 2007 and doesn't move on to Leo until May 9th, 2008. That's over six months! (During that time it actually slips back into Gemini for a little while.) The last time this happened was 1975-76.

This unusually long journey of Mars will make you stand up for your rights, and fight for money more than usual. Not just any amount of money. This will involve shared property, or anything you hold jointly with someone else, including debt. Because Mars so closely involves your ego, you will be very affronted if you do not get your fair share of something. However, Mars is also highly sexual. And it's lengthy journey will also hugely amp your sex drive. (And you're passionate sign even on a Monday morning!) This is fortuitous because sex is your favourite hobby. (You dabble in recreational lust.)

Mars will also increase your interest in travel and exploring anything new that's a fresh, learning experience. Many of you will take courses or go back to school. It's a fascinating, delicious time because Mars gives you the energy to take a bigger bite out of life! (Crrunch)

Introduuuucing - 2008!!

The New Year Begins

This year You hit the pavement running. You're busy. You're taking short trips. You're communicating to everyone plus reading, writing and studying. You're driving a lot, and trying to be all things to all people. Enuff awreddy! However, you're earning money. And you're enjoying spending it, especially on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. (This you like.)

Home, family domestic matters and real estate deals capture your attention in February. However, you're still schmoozing pleasantly, especially with relatives and siblings. You're meeting new people. And you're still stoked about sex! (See Attack From Mars! above.) If you're shopping, did you know that Scorpio rules underwear? (Each sign rules certain aspects of clothing and the body.) Since Scorpio rules all things hidden, naturally it rules undies. Maybe you should buy something devastatingly sexy to wear? (Sounds like a plan Stan.)

Hopefully, you'll follow February's advice about buying Day-Glo underwear and peekaboo lingerie because March is all about toujours l'amour. This is the time to get away for a vacation. Love affairs, romance, parties, playful activities, entertaining diversions, as well as sports and activities with children are on the menu. You want to have fun. And at the same time, family gatherings, as well as domestic repairs and redecorating projects excite you. Sort of. (It might be sublimation for some of you.)

Spring is Sprung

Even though you still want to party (and of course, you will) guilt or some other reason is driving you to work harder and be more productive. Since you're such a strong, willful, determined sign, and you also have lots of amazing energy -- you can juggle both these areas at one-time for a while. Like Sagittarius, you work hard and party hard. You're not the type to sit around getting dusty, waiting until life gets easier.

With all this emphasis on fun, vacations, parties and romance, small wonder that you're suddenly deeply focused on partnerships and close friendships in May. Your focus is on significant others, which might also include important clients and customers. These relationships look good. Very good. This could be why you're making travel plans to blow town, or explore adventurous ways of learning something new. Because you really are. You're also excited about publishing, the media, and maybe even medicine or the law. That figures.

Many Scorpios work in medicine. And the rest are cops. Some do both. When they give you a medical examination they say, "Put your hands on the wall and cough."

Salad Days of Summer

By July, you're in serious travel mode. It's important that you do something to break free from your daily routine. You want adventure and exciting new experiences. You want to meet people from other cultures.

This is also an excellent time to explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Many of you will enjoy taking summer courses. And so it goes.

By August, a gaggle of planets of the top of your chart shines a light on you. Parents, bosses and VIPs really notice you. You're super active with friends and groups especially in a physical way. Sporting honours will come to some of you. You'll be singled out for recognition for some reason. (Of course, it's not whether you win or lose -- it's how you look playing the game.)

Back to School

Suddenly, you're popular! This is saying something because you've already been quite popular all through the summer. Now everyone loves you and wants to see your face. Accept invitations. Get out and schmooze. Talk to people about your hopes and dreams because their responses will help you somehow. Secret affair is a little love trysts might take place now. You're passionate and you're secretive - who's surprised? (You know who you are.)

All this mad, social, swirl cannot continue. ("Kiss me, you fool.") And so it stops. You need to hide in October. You need a breather. And you need time to regroup. Popularity is one thing, but you don't want to get swallowed up. One of your challenges this year is defining that delicate balance between befriending others and yet still maintaining your individual independence. A very fine line indeed. And on top of that, what you do with your enemies? Is there no rest?

Freeze That Frame

Every year, as the Sun dips farther south, you gain in strength. Finally, it's your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. This is especially so this year because both fiery Mars and the Sun are in your sign now. You're stoked! You continue to earn money. (I like this part.) And you're still spending it on beautiful things for yourself and all your sweethearts. (This part is good, too.) You feel awfully good about yourself. Your optimism hasn't been this high for years. Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.

As the year ends, your focus turns very strongly to money. You want more of it! And you have ideas about how to do this. In fact, moneymaking ideas and financial opportunities are exciting now. You're working hard and your cash flow is active. Relations with daily colleagues and siblings are excellent. This is a good time to sign contracts or enter into negotiations. (Note: Earning money in your spare time by blackmailing your friends isn't really kosher.)

Your Mantra for 2008

My contacts with my outer world are changing my inner world - big time!

Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall

You can't have 100 best friends. We all know this. You're lucky to have one great friend! This year you're faced with how you work with groups and friends. Who's going to make the cut this year?

The thing is this: while you enjoy schmoozing with others, you also need to keep your independence and integrity. How do you integrate with the tribe and not sell out? This is verrry tricky. You definitely face new responsibilities working with others. You can't avoid this. However, if you can come to terms with the demands of others - in a skilful way -- you'll be rewarded. And you'll be happier.

Scorpio Luck for 2008

Lots of new people, friends, casual acquaintance and random contacts are going to come into your life this year. It's a bit of a whirlwind situation, but it's exciting. These contacts will expand your experience of the world as well as your ideas, attitudes, daily habits.

So many new things are coming at you from so many directions, many of you will travel more than usual or take up some kind of study or return to school. Relationships with daily contacts, siblings and relatives are so warm and convivial that you might actually benefit financially -- even through a stranger! (This is what happened to me.)

But the biggest source of luck for you this year is your state of mind. You're going to be happier, more optimistic, and more willing to entertain grand, big ideas. This is huge because your mind creates your world. First comes the thought, then comes the word. From the word, springs the deed. Then the deed slowly becomes habit; and habit eventually hardens into character.

It all begins with your thoughts!

You are your thoughts; and this year your thoughts are free of the self-imposed limitations that normally hamper your vision and your self-confidence. Naturally, along with this, your communications with everyone improve immensely. (I thought talk was cheap until I saw my phone bill.)

2008 and a Sneak Preview Ahead...

So here you are. You have achieved so much of what you wanted to do since 1999. You're really stoked about travel plans and everything to do with publishing, media, higher education, medicine and the law.

You're definitely happier this year because your frame of mind is unusually positive. This is important because when you change the way you see things, the things you see change. (Sounds crazy but it's true.)

Next year, everything to do with home, real estate, and your family scene will be happier and more joyful. 2009 is a great year to buy or speculate in real estate. From 2010 to 2013, many of you will start to dismantle much of what you created since the turn of the millennium. That's because you're going to begin an entirely new, major cycle in your life.

But do make plans for a fabulous vacation in the year 2010 because it's packed with fun, romance and pleasure. ("Oh Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet." St. Augustine.)
