Looking after number one is an important theme for you over the next 12 months. Scorpios are often seen as self-focused by those who know no better, yet in fact the opposite is usually true – you can get so embroiled in the lives of others that you can lose sight of yourself and your own needs. This reaches a point where you feel lost and without personal boundaries, often creating a knee-jerk reaction of you having to pull away to get yourself back together again. It just seems that unless you are a Scorpio, no one really gets this, and thinks you are being fickle or selfish.
Being misunderstood is not easy for such an emotional and empathic sign, and 2010 gives you the chance to re-affirm your personal boundaries and keep them in place. This will not isolate you, but it might put a few noses out of joint for a while. Try to ride the storm though, as your well-being is at stake.
It is time to let go of other people’s expectations and instead go deeply within to tap into what you want and need in life. Nurture your mind and change your inner dialogue to positive – be kind to yourself, support yourself and love yourself. In addition, it is time to let go of the pain from past events in order to free yourself up to embrace some new opportunities and adventures in your life. You have some long held dreams and ambitions, and maybe now is the time to re-explore them and to find a way of making them a reality.
Avoiding stress is an important focus in 2010 – finding an outlet for your energy and frustration will help, but staying in control and setting the pace of your life are the main keys to staying stress free. Honour yourself and your needs, if you need to take time out then try to find a way to take it, but don’t get lost in other people’s lives or you will struggle to find clarity or the focus needed this year.
You are the maker of your own destiny, you will never stop being empathic and caring, but sometimes you have to stand firm and look after ‘numero uno’. Don’t stay with tradition for tradition’s sake, and don’t hold onto pain – it is time to be true to your Self now.
