Your message is to let the past die so that the now can exist. By being reborn into the “now” your life can take on a new meaning and the power you so desire will be realized. Scorpio is never interested in the superficial. Scorpios want depthand meaning. They want to know what makes people tick, why they do the things they do. The Scorpio’s greatest unconscious nemesis is failure. When Scorpio discovers the power of the present moment fear is obliterated and their true nature reveals its self; Like Leo’s passionate lovers, the difference is that they speak with direction and purpose never revealing more then needed. Strategy and planning is their strength. When subconscious habits surface, to maintain relationships, personal ego drives, chips on shoulders, urges to dominant, etc. must die. Only then can the Scorpio goal be met. Venus is currently in Scorpio, use
