Spiritual

Your intuition is stronger than it used to be. You’ve been using it more often and hence it’s stronger. This will come in useful throughout the year when you have to make some big decisions based on your gut feelings. If there is the slightest concern – don’t do it.

Scorpio horoscopes sign

You’re comfortable with your spirituality and where you are heading. There is, however, interference from a friend or acquaintance who thinks you should follow their pathway, and they’re going to save your soul whether you like it or not.

Connections are very important for you this coming year. It’s the saying of not what you know, but who you know. The exciting thing is, you have met the people you need and they are already working on your behalf, so expect some offers and opportunities early April with you making decisions in May. It’s important to back yourself and keep confidence levels high, especially if you’re in a service industry. It’s not just the service you deliver, but your personality and integrity that wins the day.

Love/Friendships/Family

It’s an exciting time when it comes to love with you understanding what unconditional love is, and giving that out to the world in all its forms to family, friends and lovers. Those partnered may not be sure how their other half feels, but there’ll be reassurance early in the year. Singles will tend to fall in love with idealistic people, which can be exciting but pulls you more conservative folk out of your comfort zone.

NZ Vintage: Ches & Dale: Good mates, Ches & Dale – ready for cheese and wine parties. Something everyone needs. You, too, have a plan when nobody else does.

Health/Wellbeing

You must pace yourself over summer or you’ll find that tiredness and fatigue will set in more quickly during the cooler months.

Financially, you will have more than enough.
