Scorpio

Perspiration You seem unable to meet those more laborious deadlines, but by 20 February you prove you're worth your weight in diamonds. Mercury gives you the voice and the insight to take as much as you give after 5 March. By the end of April, cunning tactics could put you in a position of power. Unleash your ruthless side - however much you may provoke your rivals, refuse to give away your insider knowledge. If success is what you're thirsting for, admit it - you are. You may be feeling unbeatable in May, but there are others who have subtle battle tactics themselves. Check them out but be subtle. Magically, Venus embellishes your prestige and gives you the chance to shine mid-June.

Aspiration What is it you really want? By the middle of April you know that a passion for someone or something must be fulfilled. Whether it's love's mystery or professional reality, this will be an affair to transform your life. Make a decision concerning promotion or financial gain around 16 May and you'll have the chance of a lifetime. For the rest of the month you'll have a million ideas about setting off in a very lucrative direction. Remember: you owe it to yourself to expose a few hustlers. Someone may be shocked by your revelations. Fanatical promises mean long summer nights discussing your future mid-June - or are they just lines you've read in a book? You're ready for commitment, so toss out the literature, not the feelings.
