Finance: Your due diligence pays off this week, when what appeared to be a dead end turns into something profitable. Be alert to market changes and listen to your gut, not the status quo. Never be afraid to act instinctively, even if it goes against the odds.

Work/Life: The first part of the week may be more volatile than you prefer. However, a positive scenario unfolds when you receive a good news phone call; treat this new opportunity with respect and follow through. Personnel changes may occur; they're for the best. Try some deep breathing, yoga or bicycling to let go of pent-up energy. You're filled with new ideas about how to improve yourself and get ahead, and you'll have plenty of takers in the weeks to come. Stay the course and in action, while remaining positive.

Relationships: You can see through another's nervous energy, as well as the story they would like you to believe. Stand back and allow them to make their own mistakes, as long as it's not detrimental to their health. Romantically, coupled Scorpios may be in a sweet period, though a few harsh one-liners may be exchanged. It may seem as if you are currently leading separate lives, but you still have a strong connection and commitment to one another, so make the best of your times together. Single Scorpios will have an opportunity to liven things up toward the weekend; until then, keep the midnight oil burning. Celebrate your burning desire!
