SCORPIO Overall View:
You won't easily forget 2005, Scorpio, for a host of mostly positive reasons, and 2006 will be much the same. In fact, right from the start – thanks to a burst of energy straight from Jupiter – you'll be active, busy and amazingly passionate. The best part is that just about everyone (including and especially the powers that be) will be not only open to your ideas, but also eager and anxious to know what's on your mind and in your heart. For the first two months of the year, you'll be able to talk just about anyone into just about anything – even if you've already tried and failed in the past. Keep that in mind, regardless of whether your aims are personal, platonic or professional. Basically, you'll be logically lethal until the middle of March; even then, the odder the situation, the easier it will be for you to present it to anyone and everyone as perfectly normal. Right around the solar eclipse at the end of March, you may even be able to talk someone into sponsoring a venture that will put you in charge of your own business. Needless to say, finances won't be terribly difficult for you to manage for most of 2006 – your superiors will be practically in love with you, and even more infatuated with your work performance.

Speaking of infatuation, be careful during September and October. A 'casual' flirtation could turn into something far more serious around that time. Of course, if you're single and the feelings are mutual, forget being casual – be intense! (It's your specialty, after all.) If you're happily attached, be even more intense. Your partner will be delighted to get closer to you, to listen to your deepest thoughts and secret emotions, and to share their own, as well. In addition to giving of yourself, you'll want to give back in other ways toward the end of the year. If you're inclined to spoil your loved ones with material things, especially during December, think of what your mailbox may be filled with come February. Instead of objects, fill your life and the lives of everyone around you with enriching experiences.

SCORPIO Career Profile:
Are you going to cross a Scorpio on a business deal? is your life insurance paid up? The Terminator of the Zodiac has arrived, although that "lethal" Scorpion sting isn't all it's cracked up to be. Truth be told, these strong-willed folks are happy to serve others and can be quite helpful, as long as it won't hurt them. The energetic, winner-takes-all Scorpion is mighty determined, someone who can keep their eyes on the prize and never blink. Intense, passionate Scorpios know how to live life to the fullest, and as a result, don't suffer fools gladly. They know how to zero in on important tasks, and where the art of the deal is concerned, can go for the kill. Rarely, however, will blood be spilled. Scorpios are straight shooters with lofty and important goals who are devoted to those who have earned their respect. Everyone else falls by the wayside – and that can be some scrap heap! One of the Scorpion's greatest assets is the ability to effect change, if only by sheer will. It's when this virtue spills over into impatience that the trouble begins.

You cannot miss (or dismiss) a Scorpion, even if you never quite understand them. Those born under this Sign love to create, solve and manage – both the good and the bad. It's all for a reason. They often lead by example and have an uncanny ability to devein hard truths. They also like to win. As long as Scorpions can control their aggressive, vindictive and inflexible tendencies (and the need to control in general), much can be accomplished.

The Scorpio office can be a bit macabre, but that's probably to keep guests on their toes! Scorpions are not beyond showing clients around in a Humvee, if only to make the not-so-subtle point about who's in charge. When it comes time to order lunch, Scorpions will delight in ordering red meat – rare. For everyone. Scorpions are well suited as doctors, investigators, ecologists, managers, engineers, navigators (of the Titanic?) and secret agents.

SCORPIO Love Profile:
The past year has been stimulating and fabulous, and your momentum will carry you right into even more passionate encounters in 2006. Just as having money is the easiest way to make money, you'll discover that your excess of happiness and love will attract even more delectable events and circumstances. You'll be able to tackle odd obstacles and woo even those who may have turned you down in the past. With friends, romantic prospects and lovers, you'll find that you wield ironclad logic that will convince them to let you be the one in charge. You'll feel like you're walking through fields full of admirers, which will give you an even greater feeling of confidence and sexiness. That positive feedback loop will keep you thrilled. But you'll have to be careful. All that power can be misused, so be attentive in the fall as a casual flirtation turns superheated. From teasing words to passionate avowals, you'll find a relationship transformed – it could be with your partner, with someone you're infatuated with or with someone you don't even like. So if you're involved in a relationship with someone else, or just don't like the other person, end things early. If the feelings are mutual and you're not otherwise committed, take the opportunity to dive off the deep end and embrace a seriously intense bout of attention and adventure. If you're lucky enough to be re-infatuated with your existing partner, a whole new love life will result as your intensity sets you both aflame. That confident, suave manner of yours, paired with your charmingly childish lack of pretension, will let you be goofy and playful even when you're swimming in deep waters. Your balanced relationships will be the envy of all your friends. Just rely on your knack for shaping experiences into memorable, fun adventures, and nothing will get in the way of pursuing and attaining the partner you desire.

SCORPIO Money Profile
The complex and mysterious Scorpion is the master of strange dealings. You never quite know what these folks are up to! Hopefully, something good. When the chips are down, however, Scorpio's inner strength and nerves of steel makes those born under this Sign great in a crisis. Hey, these people are powerful. Scorpions always command respect...or is that fear? Whatever the case, don't cross a Scorpion in a business deal, because it could be a fatal move – this is the Sign, after all, which rules sex, death, and money. A holy trinity indeed! Scorpions are, in a word, great where money is concerned. Many of them are self-made folk, although a surprising number of Scorpions inherit wealth. We should all be so lucky! It's easy to see that Scorpions want money desperately, however it comes. Money buys them security, freedom, and, best of all, control. That control means power, and Scorpions firmly believe the glib saying "the person with the most toys wins!" In their case, however, those toys are probably bars of gold. An unshakable conviction that they'll come out on top where finances are concerned helps Scorpios stay in the game, no matter how long or how tough. They're more than willing to make sacrifices for the grand prize. If there are reversals, Scorpios will generally suffer them well, thanks to their quiet confidence. When the going is good, though, Scorpions will remember their friends with uncommon generosity and are quick to support favorite charities. The Scorpion' temperament is well-suited to astute management of the bottom line. Scorpios are also disciplined enough to stick to a budget, and their eagle eye ensures that they'll never be shortchanged at the bank. The wily Scorpion always makes good on a debt but won't stand for debtors to be slow-pay! Control over the domestic purse strings can lead to tension in a Scorpion's relationship, making this a fight they may not want to pick. In the end, Scorpions far prefer to accumulate money rather than spend it. And they hate wasting it! Even so, there are times when nothing less than a Ming vase will do. Go figure!
