Mercury’s retrograde dive in your house of secrets is both thrilling and dangerous, summoning up ghosts, both literal and figurative, ghosts, which need to be exorcised in some fashion, moving onto more peaceful planes of existence. In the realm of intimate encounters, Mercury Retrograde in kinky Gemini leads to all kinds of juicy and erotic possibilities. You’re up to the challenge but even you Scorp have your limits—know them—don’t trespass into places that are beyond your depth. In the realm of legal affairs be prepared for the unexpected. If you are a lawyer, watch out for new evidence or details that emerge in a case, or if you are simply involved in any sort of litigation, be prepared for the unknown to assert itself. This can be either good or bad, but it will ultimately not be something that happens in a void. The conditions have been created by both parties and upon further examination will make sense at the end of deliberation, but like most aspects retrograde, will catch you off guard. Uranus retreats in your house of romance and creativity. That, along with Mercury Retrograde allows you to go back in time and re-discover past loves in your life, which encompasses everything from hobbies and pastimes to precious lovers. Welcome them back with an open heart and re-live them with a passion.

All of this grunt work you’re doing now will pay off for you in the months to come, but you’d rather be the sleuth of the cosmos rather than its secretary. Have no fear, you’ll be free of this mantle soon enough, but for now, put it to good use. Get deeply into the nitty-gritty (like your taxes) and use that Scorpionic x-ray vision to find loopholes, available tax credits, obscure lines of the tax code, etc. It will definitely pay off for you. So will spending some extra time with your health. Of all the signs this month, you would benefit the most from doing an internal Spring-cleaning. Invest in a really good detox kit, chelate metals, and generally rid yourself of all the nasty little critters crawling around on the inside. You’ll have the fortitude (intestinal and otherwise) this month, so take advantage of your ability to stick with a program and the discipline that goes along with following it. You still have all that Martian energy in your workplace as well, so that grunt work won’t go unnoticed. Stay the course.

Mars gets busy in your ruling house. Sex anyone? The universe is definitely turned by what you’ve got as you become pheremone central for the rest of us. Looks and glances that come your way open to full blown invitations for deeper communion and playing in the field of sensual, magnetic delight. This is where you are the teacher and the rest of us are eager students, lapping up all we can get in more ways than one. It’s important that you consciously understand this though, because with great power, comes, well you know, more great power, but, if you don’t use it wisely, it will come back and bite you in the most sensitive parts of your life.

Scorpios, along with Taurus, Virgo, Pisces and Capricorn will flourish under the reign of Pluto in Capricorn. Scorpios are tough and many went through the Scorpio in Pluto transit back in the eighties and nineties. They’ve gone through the fire and can now assist others as they feel the heat, especially on a collective level. For Scorpio, a natural investigator, starting with this year, it’s time use those special talents for uncovering hidden truths, coaxing the mystery to be revealed and most of all, help the rest of us to understand the depths of our suffering; consult, diagnose, analyze and illuminate the darkness. It’s also a great time to write and capture your thoughts on paper. Your ability to express yourself with depth and feeling will never be more heightened than in 2008. Single Scorps looking for love don’t have to travel far from home. Your soul mate might just be a few blocks away.
