For Wednesday, Oct. 26:

You have the unique opportunity of choosing a new beginning or continuing on your present path. The new direction could completely change your life and prove to be quite rewarding, but it also could be a lot of work, as fall 2012 could reveal. If you are single, you could meet someone quite special. If you are attached, expect to give as much as you take this year. You can count on a fellow Scorpio.
