Today's Scorpio Horoscope from Cafe Astrology

January 23, 2021

You could be feeling a bit overwhelmed or unsure where to begin or what to do to straighten things out today, dear Scorpio. However, the need to get back on track is strong with the Sun and Saturn coming together in your solar fourth house. Reminders of your responsibilities to family or those close to you are likely to arise with the Sun shining its light on Saturn's obligations, duties, and need for rules and structure. It makes sense to deal with pressures or duties instead of putting them off. Others may not be jumping to help you or to cooperate at the moment, but aim to take care of what you can independently if necessary. Positively, you can get a real push to get going or get organized, serious, and productive. If you're not yet ready to go ahead, it can be a time to commit to organizing home life or a family or home-related project. You'll feel stronger if you meet your obligations, and it's a good idea to start small and go from there.

The Astrology of Today – All Signs

Horoscope for All on Saturday, January 23, 2021

Saturn recently formed a semi-square with Neptune, and today, the Sun semi-squares Neptune and then aligns with Saturn.
We’re reminded of the constraints of time and motivated by the desire to manifest tangible results.
It’s “nose to the grindstone” time as we begin to recognize the need to work hard at our priorities.
We may feel burdened, overworked, or restricted, and possibly somewhat disillusioned, but these things motivate a fresh start.
We might also welcome some discipline in our lives. It’s a time to work on a revised plan for creating order in our lives or on an old project that requires a new commitment. Emotional energy is not enough to fuel us for the time being.
As such, we could feel sapped on a physical level. However, recommitting to goals, shouldering responsibilities, and making careful use of our resources could feed our need for structure and order in our lives and get us back on track.
We also experience a Venus-Neptune sextile, helping us cut through some of the tension. We are looking to see the best in people with this transit.
We are inclined to see the spiritual dimensions of our relationships and to treat others with increased compassion.
It also helps detach us just enough from our feelings that we’re less possessive.
The Moon leaves Taurus and enters Gemini early in the day, at 2:44 AM EST.
The Gemini Moon harmonizes with the Sun, Saturn, Chiron, and Jupiter, boosting cooperation, particularly through communications.
The void Moon continues until the Moon enters Gemini today at 2:44 AM EST.

This Month: Scorpio

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.

December 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:

You can be intent on bringing recent ideas and endeavors to life, dear Scorpio, and building or developing these projects. You want results, but you're also very willing to put in the necessary time and energy to achieve your goals. December brings on a strong practical theme. Money and business matters could need some sorting, but efforts put forth now can lead to brave new beginnings down the road and benefits to match.

The month is good for moving your plans forward, particularly those that have to do with money management and work. You're both enterprising and resourceful, and you can feel a building desire to take action on a money, work, or health matter. It wasn't very long ago that Mars was retrograde in your work-and-health sector, but is now picking up speed, refueling your motivation to get things done. You'll feel very accomplished and proud of yourself for taking charge, and as confidence builds, things seem to come together quite nicely.

With Venus in your sign until mid-month, knowing and attracting what you want into your life is straightforward. Personal magnetism rises. People appreciate your style and the traits you express naturally. This cycle puts the focus on pleasure and love.

The month is strong for developing your talents or putting them to good use. You might flesh out an idea with practical details to make it more workable or marketable.

This eclipse season encourages you to start fresh with your money or find improved ways to manage your resources. It can also nudge you toward better spending habits and more faith and confidence in your ability to take care of yourself. A new budget or plan could be in order after the Solar Eclipse on the 14th. If you're looking to earn more, this can be a time to seek out new channels. Venus helps smooth things over after the 15th, although it also encourages a bit of indulgence.

No-nonsense Saturn heads into your home and family sector on the 17th. This move pulls Saturn out of harmony with your sign and into a position of challenge. Still, it does alleviate some of the pressure or inhibition you may have felt with your everyday affairs or general outlook in recent years. From now and until 2023, matters related to the home, family, personal, and nurturing/sustenance could require increased discipline, realism, tradition, and structure. You're challenged to bring more order to your home life. Outworn or poor systems may break down now, and it's time to rebuild. While this transit has a few years to play out, you could see hints of it now with Jupiter coming into alignment with Saturn on the 21st. Saturn favors careful, responsible, slow-but-sure moves.

In a rare turn of events, Jupiter spends much of the first year of Saturn's transit in the same sector. It brings on a pleasant theme of upgrades and enhancements related to your home, family, and personal life. Living arrangements and conditions can improve.

You can do some hard work getting things straightened out around the home front, but you find joy in so doing. The responsibilities and demands of domestic life can run high, but you're working towards building a stronger foundation. You'll find that your mind unclutters as you simplify and organize things. For some, this can be the very beginnings of a business project.

You're more decisive and confident in December, although as the month progresses, your curiosity can diffuse your focus somewhat. Mercury and then the Sun head into your communications sector on the 20th and 21st. These transits encourage your desire to talk, share, learn, and connect. Getting and keeping in touch with others can benefit you. Fun new interests or exciting news and topics can figure strongly now.

The Full Moon on the 29th can point to the culmination of a project or learning endeavor. The last week of the month/year can be mentally busy as this lunation awakens feelings and awareness of your need for more learning and experience. Still, you're likely to end the year mindful of what needs doing but patient and relaxed.

This Year: Scorpio

2021 Yearly Horoscope Overview

The year 2021 brings strong attention to your domestic world and home life, dear Scorpio. Much of the year, your personal life tends to overshadow your professional life or material activities. Relationships with family can improve significantly now, although pre-existing problems might magnify before they get better.

You continue to interact with others, relate one to one, and partner in new and different ways. Through changes and surprises, you get to know yourself and your relationship needs intimately. Relationships keep you on your toes. They can sometimes be a little too erratic for your liking, however. You may very well experience a clash, whether it manifests as an inner conflict or an explicit one, between your family or needs for downtime, safety, and self-nurture and a partnership or requirements for companionship.

This can be a period for launching a new venture that sticks with you and supports you for many years to come. Flaws in your home life, domestic world, or support system are likely to surface with Saturn now in your solar fourth house until 2023, making it a necessary time to solidify, simplify, and fix problems. Jupiter helps you on the domestic front much of the year–you enjoy putting more effort into home and family.

There has been a strong and heavy focus on your communications sector in recent years. Some of this energy is long-term, continuing this year and beyond. However, the pressure is releasing tremendously with your studies, projects, personal interests, commuting, and communicating. Your daily affairs feel more comfortable to manage in 2021.

There may have been a lot of shuffling or rethinking in the worlds of work, health, habits, and routines in 2020. Ideally, you begin 2021 with all of that sorted–there are fewer obstacles in your way, and life is smoother in these areas.

You’re focusing on renovations to your personal life, home, and domestic or emotional world. Improving your living conditions, self-esteem, and comfort levels are priorities. You’re finding more joy in bringing order to your home life this year, and you’re determined to make things better.

Some of this process is very internalized–you’re getting in deeper touch with yourself, determining what you truly want from life, what childhood conditioning issues are holding you back, and just how much inner power and strength you possess. A bit of self-absorption seems necessary.

In many ways, 2021 is about establishing yourself. You’re developing practices that will benefit you many times over and for years to come. Even so, you can be very busy making adjustments and fixing problems before things run smoothly.

Projects you begin this year may very well last–the very beginnings of long-term businesses or projects might happen for you in 2021. You seek comfort and stability, but also growth and improvement, in your domestic life. Aim to get comfortable with yourself – the cosmos are fully supporting this endeavor! You’ll benefit greatly and indefinitely, but in the shorter term, it helps you open up for Jupiter’s next phase, beginning this year and developing further in 2022, when self-expression, love, and creativity are in the spotlight. New hobbies, romance, or creative and leisure pursuits can figure strongly. People are very interested in you romantically speaking, and opportunities can abound. You are pouring more of your heart and soul into what you create and share. You’ll have much of 2022 to get on this, and it all starts from May to July 2021.

The year 2021 as a whole has a relatively strong “play-it-safe” vibe for you. It doesn’t sound very exciting, but it’s likely just what you need in your life at this time! This can be a year when you’re building your inner confidence. When Jupiter moves into your romance sector, you become more psychically ready and open to share your light with others. New ways to have fun, or possibly new hobbies, enter your life now–or you might be paying more notice to these avenues from May 13 to July 28, and then again from December 28 onward.

This Year in Love: Scorpio

2021 Love Horoscope for Scorpio

Neptune continues to affect your tastes and romantic expectations, dear Scorpio, as it is your romance sector ruler and moving through its own sector. This long-term transit is nothing new to you — slowly, your tastes are evolving, refining, and romanticizing.

A subtle shift in “flavor” in your romantic life is ongoing. You’re looking for a little more color – a dash of fantasy, poetry, and romance. You’re likely to meet Neptune or Pisces “types” in your casual relationships more frequently – artists and dreamers, for example. The need to watch for romantic (and financial) illusions continues–it’s one of the sides to Neptune. However, Neptune is not forming any major stressful aspects in 2021, making it less likely to throw too much shade on your life this year.

Uranus continues its long transit of your partnership sector, and this does point to some relationship ups and downs in the committed relationship department.

The rules for partnerships need to be flexible or these relationships are not likely to survive. It does look like casual relationships fare better than committed ones again in 2021. Uranus is active this year, often clashing with Jupiter and Saturn, and this suggests that its naturally destabilizing influence can be a little more prominent than it was last year. In 2021, you’re likely to experience a clash, whether it manifests as an inner conflict or an explicit one, between your family or needs for downtime, safety, and self-nurture and a partnership or needs for companionship…cont’d

Special note concerning Covid-19

Special note:

Astrological transits continue in their cyclical ways no matter the current situation. They should always be adapted to what’s going on in your life in sensible ways. This applies at all times, but is particularly relevant now during this health crisis. During the very vital quarantines, if the planetary transits are suggesting it’s a great time to socialize, for example, it makes sense to adapt this to online socializing. Let’s be safe and protect one another through social distancing, if possible. Much love, Annie (March 18, 2020)

My heart goes out to all those experiencing difficulty. Love, Annie (April 1, 2020)

Here’s to a fun, happy, and successful day!
