Finally, there are the first signs of real movement as opposed to the false dawns of recent times.  There's been a lot of ebb and flow over the last six months, and sometimes it really has seemed as tough you've taken two steps forward and three back.  But now that momentum of slipping has stopped, the consolidation and stability has increased, and you're now getting ready top move forward from a steadier base than at any time over the last fifteen months.  Beware impatience:  the push forward is only gradual during February, picking up speed over the coming months, and if those of you at the back push too hard then those at the front may collapse.  Especially, those of you born during October are likely to be in the firing line, and only those of you who have chosen to learn the lessons of over reaching yourselves during the last six months will really benefit.  But if you're wise enough to only take the cream and know when to quit, you'll end up in a place of richness and maturity.  It is the playing of the subtle chances that makes the difference now as opposed to going for the long odds.  What you can safely say now is that the background aura of nebulous or vague confusion that has permeated much of your recent lives at a low level is now clear.  There's a flexing of the muscles, the setting of the jaw, the focus is now firmly on the advancing horizon, and there are definite signs of both impetus and movement.  Just take your time - no rush.

2012 is a year of three segments, all with different influences and potential effects on you.  During the first five months of the year, all of you in one way or another will find that your one to one interactions with others, regardless of the relationship, are going to come under the microscope.  Some relationships will grow and expand, others will contract and wither.  The middle of 2012, from June to September, is quiet if somewhat anticipatory, and the last three months of the year will be noticeable as Saturn begins a thirty month stay with you.  There's no sign of self sabotage, and no sign of you attracting inappropriate or unhealthy energy from others in any underhand or behind the scenes way.  Similarly, there's no indication of any disruption or of you having the rug pulled from underneath your feet.  And to emphasise the positive side of 2012, there's no sign of fog or mist occluding your perspective, what you're seeing and experiencing is pretty much the real thing.  During the first half of 2012 with Jupiter in your opposite sign, there's the chance of overreaching, over spending or in some other way going over the top, so moderate yourself.  During the middle part of 2012 it's time to step back and prepare yourself so that by the end of September you're in a space of efficiency and effectiveness.  It is from October onwards that the real influence of 2012 strikes home as Saturn enters your sign and starts its process of bringing structure, discipline (self imposed or otherwise) and boundaries firmly into your life.  It is a question of getting stuck in and doing things the hard way at the end of the year, because if you do this then you only have to do it once.

PLUTO is bringing the opportunity for shape shifting and metamorphosis into the lives of those born from October 28 - November 1, suggestive of caterpillar into butterfly or snake shedding its skin.  Positive chances, use them or lose them.

NEPTUNE brings a more subtle and aesthetic stance into the lives of those of you born before November 26, and encourages a more sensitive approach to life.  It's a year for developing one's artistic and sensual nature.

URANUS is not directly affecting you in 2012.

SATURN will not affect you until the latter part of the year.  However, he enters your sign on October 5, from whence all of you, but especially those born before November 2, can expect a degree more structure and discipline to enter your lives.

JUPITER will affect all of you between January and May in terms of your ability to get on with others at the one to one level without getting your buttons pushed.

MARS won't touch you until 23 August through to 7 October

VENUS is with you from 22 November to 16 December

MERCURY visits from 5-29 October, and again from 14 November - 11 December.

The Scorpio new Moon is on November 13 and the full Moon is on May 6.
