Comet McNaught may this year, live right up to its name and bring you plenty of nothing. There will, though, be truly plenty... and it will certainly seem like something when it is all happening!

The rare astrological omen is now passing through the sector of your sky that governs intellect and interest, commerce and communication, transport and travel, sibling synergy and peer group pressure. That's a broad field. One phrase, though, sums it all up. Things that you never have to stop thinking about. Topics that require vast amounts of concentration and conversation yet which never really resolve. Hence my suggestion that you'll encounter plenty of nothing!

Much, at the end of the year, may remain as it was at the beginning - in the physical sense. In between the two times, though, you look set to be taken on one heck of a journey during which major attitudes alter for evermore.

Think of 2007 like a lake. Calm and still, the deeper you go. Covered in wild ripples, though, whenever the wind blows. That comet heralds a big breeze for the next few months at least! It will blow away cobwebs of complacency. It will also remove dusty doubts and musty misgivings about what you are supposed to be doing with your life - and where you are supposed to be while you do it - and who with. Here comes certainty after a long phase of restlessness. Here comes a deep sense of belonging. And as for security, both emotional and material... read on!

YOUR LOVE LIFE
A mysterious force in distant space makes our entire solar system rotate. Pluto now aligns with that 'Galactic Centre'. Meanwhile, a bright comet has appeared. 2007 will be a stunning year. Here's what it means for your love life.

Pluto's historic alignment with the Galactic Centre takes place in the part of your chart that governs security. The theme of the year is 'finding your rightful place in the world'.

Prepare to move ever further from situations that have been destabilising you. You really won't have to fight to hold crucial relationships and involvements together. You will feel protected and cared for. Of course there will be times of tension too. Love is not all about cosiness and safety. It's about learning to cope with what occurs when the 'sharp edge' of your personality meets the 'cutting edge' of another person's. This is no regrettable side effect of close involvement. It's the area where the real merging magic happens. Or, at least, it is as long as both individuals are willing to learn from life and from each other. When, though, two people let precedent and tradition dominate their coexistence, they can seriously stunt each other's growth.

For example, when you want to change something in your world... but your partner doesn't want you to. Or when your loved one says, 'I've changed my mind', and all you can think of is how insistent they used to be about their previous position. Then a relationship, no matter how warm, becomes a deep freeze for the spirit.

Comet McNaught this year, though, insists that soon you will be able to speak and listen more honestly and lovingly than ever before. So whatever needs to move WILL move. And your love life will benefit enormously at every level.

YOUR WEALTH
So many awkward factors have presented themselves in 2006 that you suspect life really can't have many more difficulties left with which to challenge you this year. You are right! You have been through more than enough for a while at least.

You are moving into a phase where life, on the material plane at least, is relatively calm. I'm not suggesting that you're going to end up completely taking it easy. It's not in your nature to lay that far back. But I do predict time to draw breath after some extremely exhausting escapades - and a chance to simplify some of the hopelessly complicated situations that have arisen.

Pluto co-rules your sign, alongside Mars. Pluto moves slowly. It gets 'lapped' by Mars on the zodiac track, once every couple of years. That's what happens at the start of 2007 and it is a strong symbolic suggestion of harmony twixt head and heart and thus, a real chance to strengthen your material position. The year ends with Jupiter, planet of magnificence and munificence forming a conjunction to Pluto in the same sector of the sky. It all happens at a point that aligns with what we call 'The Galactic Centre'. For Scorpios, this heavenly hotspot happens to be in your house of money. Poor, you won't be in 2007. Uninspired you won't be either.

A new comet in your house of intelligence and invention promises a project that both pleases you and proves positively practical.
