Sunday, Feb. 12, 2012: This year you swing from light and easy to intense and focused. Sometimes people won’t know which person they will meet. If nothing else, others find you to be intriguing. You can be overly serious and push people away. Travel and education could play into your work and life. If you are single, you could meet a foreigner who will play a strong role in your life. The person you attract will be unique and enter your life in June 2012 or after. As a result of knowing this person, you will learn to understand others better. If you are attached, share more of your dreams and professional life with your sweetie. You’ll find that not only do you become more bonded, but you also can support each other while being appreciated. SCORPIO can be pushy.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
