Scorpio
Born between: Oct 23rd - Nov 21st
Scorpios are emotional and passionate which ensures they have strong relationships. They are often confident and determined; yet, their emotional and secretive nature can cause them to be jealous and misunderstood.
You're in a rather secretive mood today, which is hardly unusual for a Scorpion. Yet you're also feeling rather generous, so it's a good day for buying someone a present and then keeping it a secret until you're ready to give it to them. Maybe this is the perfect opportunity to buy your beloved a Valentine's Day card or present, and then keep it on top of the wardrobe until the magic day dawns? Fortunate colours are marmalade and plum. Lucky numbers are 28 and 62.
Your thoughts turn to the past today and you'll remain in a reminiscent mood for the next couple of weeks. This is great for looking back on your life so far, perhaps with the help of some treasured photos or other keepsakes. You might even be inspired to make contact with some old friends that you've lost contact with, just to see how they are. However, think twice before getting in touch with old flames because you could be playing with fire. Favourable colours are pale green and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 5 and 45.
Once again, money has the potential to cause trouble, so treat it with respect. This time, the problems could come from your social life, especially if you're planning an outing with some friends. There could be irritable disagreements between you about how much everything should cost, with some of you opting for economy and others choosing extravagance. How are you going to resolve this? Beneficial colours are blood red and dark green. Lucky numbers are 17 and 2.
Be very careful when dealing with money today because it will be a golden opportunity for someone to behave like a petty tyrant. Let's hope it's not you! All will be well if you do what this person wants, but you'll soon notice a distinct nip in the air if you have the temerity to disagree with them. That's too bad, because you aren't prepared to be dictated to like this. Creative colours are persimmon and quartz. Lucky numbers are 15 and 17.
It's not an easy day because you're feeling rather lonely and neglected. Maybe a loved one isn't present, or they're with you in body, but not in spirit. Although you're showing a tendency to read the very worst into the situation and imagine that your relationship is on the skids, it's far more likely that the person concerned is simply busy with other things for the time being. Get involved in your own projects so you've got something to talk about when you're reunited. Inspirational colours are grey and blackberry. Lucky numbers are 39 and 34.
You're making a very favourable impression on your boss or superiors today, so keep up the good work. What's more, there's nothing contrived about this because you're feeling genuinely enthusiastic about what you're doing. If you've been trying to sort out a financial problem recently, especially if it's connected with red tape or your job, give it another go today and you might finally make some headway. Ideal colours are amber and maroon. Lucky numbers are 7 and 26.
Today's Full Moon is highlighting your career and long-term goals, and will continue to do so for the next two weeks. It's telling you to think seriously about this area of your life and to decide if you're heading in the right direction. Are you on target to achieve your ambitions or would it be better to give up and start again with something that stands a better chance of coming to fruition? You mustn't be defeatist but nor do you want to flog a dead horse. It's decision-time! Insightful colours are dark gold and royal purple. Lucky numbers are 16 and 76.
It may be Monday, but you certainly aren't raring to go. Well, you might be raring to go back to bed, but that's about it. The thought of having to go to work is the last thing on your mind right now because you're much more interested in relaxing and having fun. That's no problem if you can please yourself but you'll struggle to do your bit if you're supposed to be slogging away at work because your heart simply isn't in it. Beneficial colours are pistachio and bright yellow. Lucky numbers are 18 and 69.
You have very big ideas today and it's almost impossible to stop talking about them. However, you may have to edit some of what you say in case you accidentally reveal a secret or you exaggerate the facts and give a misleading impression. If you're writing an important letter, try to leave it for a while before putting it in the post, so you can re-read it and check that you're happy with what you wrote. Fortunate colours are mother of pearl and oyster. Lucky numbers are 18 and 46.
Do something unusual and interesting today, otherwise you'll soon start to feel stale. Maybe you should abandon your usual Saturday pursuits and do something completely different for a change? You'll also enjoy visiting somewhere for the first time, so perhaps you could go shopping in a neighbouring town or district rather than your usual stamping ground. Fortunate colours are ivory and crimson. Lucky numbers are 31 and 11.
You're happiest when you can work at your own pace, without anyone breathing down your neck, telling you what to do. If you're left to your own devices like this you'll get a tremendous amount done. You could also become involved in a charitable venture right now, in which case you'll want to give it as much help as possible. Favourable colours are charcoal and cream. Lucky numbers are 17 and 48.
A loved one has an uncanny knack of getting under your skin today. They seem to be going out of their way to be difficult and obstructive, and being as contrary as possible. Maybe you should use a little reverse psychology on them by asking them to do the opposite of what you really want? There could also be a disagreement with someone over what they spend their money on. Soothing colours are silvery blue and silvery pink. Lucky numbers are 1 and 69.
During the next four weeks you'll be happiest when you're surrounded by familiar faces and places. This isn't a good time of year for being far from your own front door because it will make you feel unsettled. Right now, you gain your sense of identity from being with people that you know very well, so it's a great opportunity to arrange a big family gathering or spend more time with your closest relatives. Stabilising colours are dark red and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 4 and 19.
It doesn't seem very kind but you can't help thinking that a certain person is being completely ineffectual this Tuesday. Maybe they're mooching about like a wet lettuce so you want to shake them, they're indecisive to the point of inanity or they seem to have lost all backbone. You may also suspect their motives in behaving like this, perhaps because they want you to take over what they're supposed to be doing. Will you fall for this trick? Auspicious colours are terracotta and dark blue. Lucky numbers are 12 and 61.
If you're at work today you'll soon feel run off your feet. Maybe the phones will ring more than usual, people will keep chatting when you want to concentrate or you'll have to cope with some very awkward customers. All this is bound to raise the tension and make you rather snappy. If so, try not to take out your irritation on people who are completely blameless but who happen to have strayed into the firing line. It's not their fault! Ideal colours are cornflower blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 39 and 36.
If you know that someone isn't feeling very well at the moment or they're going through a hard time, you'll rack your brains to think what you can do for them. However, it will be a very different story if you're expected to help this person or you feel coerced into doing it, because then you won't want to do it at all. Strong colours are bright red and jet black. Lucky numbers are 39 and 67.
This is a nice, easy-going day, especially if you're with loved ones. You'll enjoy making a fuss of them and possibly even buying them a treat or gift. You're also interested in making your home feel more safe, cosy and comfortable, whether by buying some lovely cushions or carpets, or by burning some scented candles or treating yourself to a bunch of your favourite flowers. Ideal colours are burnt orange and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 32 and 12.
Your thoughts and feelings work together this Friday, which is very good news if you're chatting to a friend because you'll be very eloquent and interesting. However, watch out if you're taking part in a negotiation or discussion because, although you'll be voluble, you'll also be much more subjective and emotional than you realize. Beneficial colours are sky blue and violet. Lucky numbers are 11 and 67.
Someone is a stickler for the facts today, and they'll keep correcting you whenever they get the chance. A few minutes of this will really dampen your spirits and probably make you afraid to open your mouth. On the other hand, you may be the one who's so keen to correct another's faults, in which case you should ask yourself why you're behaving like this. Come on, what's wrong? Favourable colours are pumpkin and grape. Lucky numbers are 28 and 69.
Be careful because your emotions are in a fragile state today. You're feeling sentimental and possibly even tearful, and may keep drifting off into dewy-eyed reveries about the past. Enjoy them by all means but bear in mind that, given your current state, they may have very little to do with what actually happened. Right now, you've got a tendency to gloss over the bad bits and only concentrate on the good ones, which will be very misleading. Comforting colours are peach and dark green. Lucky numbers are 9 and 58.
Take a look round your home today and see if anything needs improving, such as doing some decorating or moving the furniture around. If so, you'll probably be inspired to do it yourself as soon as possible because you'll be consumed with impatience once the idea has occurred to you. You'll also be keen on working out how much money you could save by doing everything yourself. Auspicious colours are tan and navy. Lucky numbers are 9 and 57.
It's a new year and you're ready for new pastures. They have to be mentally stimulating and put a spring in your step. During the next couple of weeks you might decide to widen your circle of acquaintances or spend more time in contact with your existing friends. You could also become engrossed in a fascinating book or idea. Beneficial colours are taupe and dark red. Lucky numbers are 12 and 15.
Make the most of the next few weeks because you'll be blessed with an amazing amount of tact and discretion. You'll be astonished at the smooth way you're able to talk yourself out of tricky situations, butter people up without being too obvious about it, and generally keep on the right side of everyone. If only life were always like this! But it isn't, so enjoy it while it lasts. Dynamic colours are hazelnut and bright red. Lucky numbers are 8 and 72.
If you're supposed to be keeping something a secret you'd better take a vow of silence today, otherwise you could be dismayed when you hear yourself blurting out the very thing you were supposed to shut up about. The fact is that you'll get carried away, especially if you're holding the floor in a conversation and want to carry on having everyone's attention. You will, but for all the wrong reasons. Dreamy colours are grey and honeycomb. Lucky numbers are 39 and 12.
Today you're only really interested in doing things that have some meaning for you. Anything else doesn't appeal very much and you'll have a tendency to do it with a bad grace. If you have to do things that don't float your boat, watch your temper and count to ten if you start to lose your cool. Even then, you'll be tempted to go off pop. It's one of those days when so many things have a tendency to rub you up the wrong way. Beneficial colours are silver and grape. Lucky numbers are 7 and 22.
A great day for immersing yourself in local activities. You might want to lend your services to a neighbourhood project, especially if you hope to increase your social life at the same time. If that sounds a bit ambitious, you'll enjoy chatting to a neighbour or a local shopkeeper, even if you're talking about very trivial matters. It's making contact with one another that counts right now. Fortunate colours are champagne and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 28 and 2.
You're in the mood for some lively conversation today, especially if you're chatting to a loved one. Be prepared to talk about all sorts of unusual topics or to hear something you hadn't bargained for. If you're starting to feel a little flat now that the New Year festivities are over and your usual routine has resumed, give yourself a little treat or do something enjoyable on the spur of the moment. Beneficial colours are russet and ochre. Lucky numbers are 28 and 41.
If you're a typical Scorpio you have good money sense, and this is a great day for putting it into practice. If you suspect you spent too much money over the festive season, this is when you should grit your teeth and find out exactly how bad the damage is. Alternatively, if you've got a query about a financial matter, you'll be inspired to get to the bottom of it and find out what's going on. Fabulous colours are scarlet and navy. Lucky numbers are 40 and 29.
Take it easy because you don't have much patience today. Ideally, you should have some time to yourself because that's the best way of keeping out of hot water and avoiding trouble. There's also a chance that you might hear something that's supposed to be a secret and which doesn't exactly have you jumping for joy when the cat is let out of the bag. Fortuitous colours are opal and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 8 and 34.
A hobby or favourite pastime has plenty of appeal this Sunday, especially if you're starting to crave a little time on your own. You also have a hankering to give your brain some exercise, perhaps by reading an informative book or watching a TV programme that makes you think. If you've been wondering whether to plan a journey or holiday, someone could talk you into it now. Fortunate colours are cream and banana. Lucky numbers are 35 and 71.
Are you ready to start 2005 with a bang? You're brimming with energy and high spirits today, which is a great start to the New Year. What's more, you're feeling very sociable even if you were up half the night celebrating, so get together with friends and family or make contact with some of the people you haven't seen recently. Auspicious colours are pumpkin and lime. Lucky numbers are 20 and 65.
