Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

January 2020 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

January 2020

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until January 10th:

The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now.

You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.

From January 10th forward:

The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.

Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.

You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home.

Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Eclipses

A Lunar Eclipse occurs on January 10th:

A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.

This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar ninth house. Surprises surrounding matters of personal philosophy, faith, travel, and the higher mind may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest, for example, as a circumstance that tests your personal belief system or that requires the need to take a leap of faith, a surprising adventure that takes you beyond your normal routine, a sudden opportunity to travel or for higher learning, the publishing of a project you've been working on, and other such possibilities.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until January 4th:

Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.

During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.

Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.

You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.

From January 5-29:

Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.

You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.

In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.

From January 30th forward:

Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until January 10th:

Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.

From January 10-28:

Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.

Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.

Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.

From January 28th forward:

Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.

Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.

This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.

You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.

Overview Horoscope:

Horoscope Overview for January 2020 for Scorpio:

Your personal interests, daily affairs, and studies or learning continue to gain momentum this month, dear Scorpio. January can be a busy, communicative, and connected month for you, and while the focus changes to the home and family life later this month, it remains a dynamic period.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 10th generates much emotional and mental energy, and focusing it all can be difficult. Give yourself time to process any news or new information coming your way. This eclipse prompts you to fit more extracurricular activities into your life–it’s a time for expanding your skills and knowledge. Spreading the word–or exploration and discovery–is in the spotlight. You may have felt very much tied to your desk, neighborhood, or projects, and now answer to a call to get away, even if this is only for the sake of mental refreshment.

Still, a Saturn-Pluto alignment in your communications sector prompts the need for restructuring or a new start with your studies, communications, mindset or attitude, transportation, or projects and mental interests. You are determined to rebuild and succeed. Circumstances may be that you need to restructure, redoing something from the ground up, and while a reality check occurring now can feel intense, you have all the cosmic support for rebuilding with you in the months ahead.

It's also a time for recognizing the power of your words and your thoughts. Making changes to how you express yourself and to your everyday thought habits can be life-changing at this time. If you’ve been feeling stuck in destructive patterns, you'll now see that something has to change. Again, you have lovely support for making improvements and adjustments as the year progresses.

Your daily life can demand a lot more from you, or you might see a project or endeavor in an entirely new, very realistic light. You could be feeling the weight of your responsibilities. If you can manage to tackle matters one at a time, step by step, you will find that you sidestep the problems of feeling overwhelmed and get closer to your goals as a result. If you need to concentrate, try unplugging or otherwise tuning out distractions so that you can get to a satisfying point of progress. You might find out where you stand on a matter, and this helps clarify your next step.

Uranus turns direct on the 10th, and clarity or forward movement in a partnership can be in store. While relationships can, at times, be up and down or difficult to predict, you might come to a better feeling that you can ride with the waves rather than against them at this time.

Mars energizes your resources sector from the 3rd forward, increasing your courage or desire to take a few risks with business and money. While you should certainly be careful not to spend impulsively, this can be a good time for seeing your ability to earn or your own talents more confidently or positively. You may be directing much of your energy into seeking out security, business endeavors, settling in, or building upon what you have. Coming first or initiating new projects is less compelling now, as you'd prefer to see things through. The drive to develop, increase, or improve your resources can be strong. Still, there can also be some tensions surrounding personal finances and possessions during this transit that will continue until mid-February. Questions of ownership and values can emerge for quick handling, and it's also an active period for working through issues related to self-esteem.

A stronger need to unwind, reboot, and relax kicks in as the month advances. More focus on home and family is refreshing and much-needed later in January.
