SCORPIO: Yes, Scorpio, the first part of January is really intense—but that’s exactly how you like it. The New Year begins with your two planetary rulers in an exact opposition. On January 3, Mars and Pluto are in a testy opposition from your 10th House of Career to your 4th House of Home. This power struggle has been simmering for a few weeks, but by the time it comes to a boil, you might actually be near or at a resolution. The Sun will be in your 3rd House of Communication for the first three weeks of the year, helping you navigate tricky dialogues with people who don’t see things quite the way you do. At mid-month, the Full Moon in Cancer erupts into your 9th House of Philosophy. This could provoke an emotional encounter with a new idea that shakes up the way you’ve come to see the world. After January 20, the Sun shifts into your 4th House of Home, and the New Moon lands here at the very end of the month. This is the moment to set intentions for your domestic life for the next six months. When it comes to family, chosen family, roommates, or live-in partner, where do you want to grow deep roots?
