January 2021 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

January 2021

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until January 9th:

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.

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

Until January 24th: 

Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.

From January 24th forward: 

With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

From the 2nd to 21st:

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 the 21st 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 animate and energize your solar sixth house. Energy and initiative for work, health, and other daily activities increase. You are self-motivated when it comes to these matters. If there are disagreements and disputes that erupt on the job now, they may be due to a feeling of stress or impatience, or they could come from your desire to get things done independently. It's best to apply energy productively to completing projects that are unfinished or even to get ahead of yourself. It's a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.

Overview Horoscope:

January 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:

January is likely to begin on a busy note and end on a quieter one, dear Scorpio. You can enjoy success with communications, connecting, learning, and personal interests. As the month advances, a more profound need to enjoy the security of family or home life emerges.

Mars has spent a long time (over six months) in your work and health sector. Finally, it moves on. From January 6th to early March, Mars heats up your partnership sector.

While exciting for close relationships, you can sometimes feel you're in the hot seat with Mars opposing your sign during this transit. It’s revealing and stimulating but does require some mindfulness and self-awareness since there can be a strong inclination to project traits onto others during this period. Relationships that have been too restrictive, tense, or dull need attention now. A partner could be aggressive or cranky, or possibly merely taking the lead. Consider that a partner might be reflecting your own desire for action. While you could experience conflicts with an important person in your life, you might instead actively work on improving an alliance.

Venus moves through your communications sector from the 8th onward, enhancing your communications. Your words can get you closer to others, at least in spirit. Collaboration can be excellent, and sharing or publishing a piece of work, joining a workshop, furthering a cause, or communicating with a new friend can be in happy focus.

Relations with siblings, a partner, neighbors, or acquaintances improve in January. Good cheer and optimism can help strengthen bonds. There can be pleasant, productive, and possibly spicy conversations that motivate or inspire you. You can feel pleasantly competitive and stimulated on mental or social levels this month.

Much of January, there's likely to be a nice flow of energy and warmth between you and others, or excitement and enthusiasm for an idea or project. Your magnetism is high--transits boost your powers of attraction and communication skills this month.

Uranus turns direct on the 14th, bringing clarity or forward movement in a partnership. 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 fight them.

A theme building for you in January, set to dominate in the last week of the month, centers around home and family. There can be a lot to learn about or through family and close loved ones. Thoughts and conversations often turn to domestic affairs, the past, and family concerns.

There can be times when your need for emotional or psychic space interferes in a close relationship, or family and partnership can be draining you as they seem to clash. Erratic energy in your relationship world could impact your sense of security. Watch for hasty behavior--there could be a lot of unnecessary pressure on you to make a decision. Positively, however, you can feel a rush of new energy and courage to handle a long-standing problem. To gain freedom in one area of your life, you have to release restricting attachments and let go of the fear of instability.

The Full Moon on the 28th brings light to personal or family matters, pushing your emotions up to the surface. A home project can reach a conclusion or fruition, or a career or reputation matter illuminates. If you’ve been paying too much attention to your personal life, events occurring now remind you of your need to attend to responsibilities and outside obligations or career matters. Tackling one thing at a time is important now. Acknowledge new feelings that come to the surface, but sit with them before taking action.

You're experiencing a building desire to improve your personal life. Domestic projects, family relationships, home life, and comfort and security matters are in stronger focus. It's also a good time to consider long-term projects and endeavors, although new launches are probably best undertaken after Mercury's retrograde cycle that begins on the 30th. This is a good time for thinking about widening your normal boundaries, expanding, growing, and improving.

Mercury turns retrograde on January 30th in an area of your chart with a lot of planetary activity or focus. While, in many ways, home and family matters feel as if they’re moving forward, there can be some confusion or delays involved. For example, there can be some level of chaos or mechanical problems around the home that require your attention. Past problems can resurface for review. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time, but reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now.
