scorpio weekly horoscope

Scorpio - You end 2009 and start 2010 with a rare opportunity to make the kind of mental breakthrough that can change your life. You know that your thoughts go a long way toward creating your reality. If you've been reading this column for a while, you must believe that on some level. Otherwise you would have turned me off a long time ago. But what it would take to get you to live as if that belief were actually true? This seems to be the question Mercury retrograde in your 3rd House of thoughts is asking you. One way to explore this is by reviewing the roles you've played in life up until now. Think back to your childhood role: were you the peacemaker, the scapegoat, the abandoned one, the bully, the sensitive? Then track how your roles have evolved over the years. Who do you play in relationships, at the office, among your friends? What you're looking for in this process is perspective, which is precisely what Thursday's lunar eclipse in your 9th House is bringing your way. When you play a role, you necessarily limit yourself. (Think of the range of expression of, for instance, Captain Kirk. Or Elmo. Or Jerry Seinfeld.) Each of your roles locks you into a certain style of thinking and speaking. How much would it free your mind if you decided to expand the range of the roles you habitually play? What if you allowed yourself to play multiple roles and taught yourself to easily and effortlessly switch roles as your circumstances warrant?
