Scorpio Horoscope for March 2013

This is an important time, Scorpio, when you are continuing to explore your inner world, and when you have also been feeling your way into a better relationship with your own personal power. When you think that you have the capability of exerting the most control is when, paradoxically, you have the very least. Over the course of this current month, your self-expression and creativity is blazing up in a new fashion that takes your deep unconscious process into better account, recognizing that at base, not everything you do is fully conscious. You are on the way to affirming your path forward in a very different way, one that rather than the misplaced conditioning of an era that has lost its relevance to your present understanding, takes soul purpose more firmly into account.

As the month begins, you are feeling both incredibly optimistic and also reserved and cautious, which is more than just a little paradoxical; but then, the nature of the soul is paradox. You have first of all the powerful presence of Saturn in your identity sector, signaling setbacks and a sense of limitation, and renewed in strength with this month's configurations. Really, though, Saturn has been hanging out there for many weeks already so that you might be getting used to it by now. Then again, the positive presence of Jupiter in your sector of intimacy and personal evolution makes it so that you are ripe for going off adventuring and perhaps making an even overly gung ho estimation of situations so that you might have to hold yourself back at times.

The best way to use this positive side of your energy is to pay close attention to everything that happens now on the emotional level with the idea of getting into better relationship with your own inner workings. With Mercury Retrograde for this entire month and a week beyond, when you take the period of the retrograde shadow into account, you are actually in a meditative mood in any case. You are intent on reviewing your sense of self and your involvement with both the physical world that surrounds you and with significant others in your life, but both more from the standpoint of how these reflections show you who you at soul level. You have a chorus line of planetary energies flowing through your sector of creative self-expression so that you are your own primary product for the moment at least.

This is a time of taking a second look at whatever it is that you feel most completely explains what you consider yourself up to, and why, but it is also a time of intensity in terms of active involvement. Following through with what you started in mid-February or before makes perfect sense for you now, as well as doing active research on new directions. It is important to exercise discernment however as far as the impulse to stretch your wings and flow toward plans that are entirely novel; that kind of endeavor might be best reserved for mid-April after Mercury regains its lost zodiacal longitude.

Then too, this is definitely a monthly period of finding renewed inspiration in what is really important to you regarding day-to-day activities, health issues and general life direction, especially toward the end of March. It is important as you move through this tricky month that you keep your eye on the true prize, namely that you are attempting to learn and then follow your true soul-purpose agenda of greater conscious awareness and more internal growth, whatever means you take to get yourself there.
