Horoscope:
MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
Other people have New Year’s resolutions. You have New Year’s issues.
These aren’t bad, but there’s just a lot on your plate as 2010
begins. The Sun is in Capricorn, your third house of communication. Unfortunately,
Mercury is retrograde (backward) until the 15th, making all manner of technology,
plans, conversations and messages a scrambled mess. Untangling the wires
could take considerable effort. Be patient and gracious, and it will all
smooth out.
On January 17th, expansive Jupiter enters Pisces, your fifth house of romance and creativity. Jupiter will travel through here until January 2011 (sans a short summer respite), blessing you with abundant passion, love, and excitement. A pregnancy is possible during this cycle. Rest up after the 19th, when the Sun enters Aquarius, your domestic fourth house. Return to basics and make sure your plans are built on a solid foundation. A visit with family is rejuvenating; your mother or a significant woman will play into events later this month.
LOVE & ROMANCE:
You’ve been quite the dutiful soul this year, Scorpio, holding it
together for everyone else—often at the expense of your own pleasure.
Resign from your de facto den mother post on January 17th, when
lucky Jupiter enters your indulgent, romantic fifth house. It’s all
about tapping your desires now, and if you want to be a hedonist, why not?
As long as nobody gets hurt, you’ve got carte blanche to
spend the year acting out your wildest fantasies.
On January 15th, a solar eclipse teams up with sensual Venus in Capricorn, your communication sector. Find a softer way to express yourself with your sweetie—trust us, it will help get the message through. Single Scorpios should accept invitations and blind-date suggestions from friends around this star-powered eclipse. If your love life doesn’t look exactly the way you want it to, vent…but with intention. That’s right, set aside one hour to bitch into a journal or to a compassionate friend. Let it all out until you’re empty. Then craft a vision of how you’d like to feel, what fulfills you, and any other details that help you visualize the romance of your dreams.

You may find that early relationships with men, especially your father, play into some of your relationship patterns—particularly how you handle power dynamics. At the Leo full moon on January 30th, take an honest look at this. You may even be carrying subconscious stress around from your parents’ relationship model. Let it go and create your own love story, Scorpio.
MONEY & CAREER:
January begins with a backlog of phone calls, emails and meetings—many
left over from 2009. Exciting as your New Year’s resolutions may
be, delay them until mid-month and handle the pileup first. If you own
a business, this is a good time to revamp your company’s logo, branding
or marketing materials, too. On December 31st, a lunar eclipse in your
ninth house of travel and study helped you view life through a wide-angle
lens. You may apply to school, pick up a freelance project, or consider
a long-distance move for work.
You’ll have plenty of support if you just reach into your current contact list. Old mentors and contacts resurface, thanks to Mars retrograde in your ambitious tenth house. A high-profile client or reputation-boosting assignment could arrive near the January 30th Leo full moon. A beam of the dazzling spotlight could warm your shoulders, too. Claim it, Scorpio. There’s no more being underestimated once you summon the courage to speak from your heart and be known.
HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
There’s a lot to juggle in January, and you can easily burn out if
you’re not careful. Don’t push your limits. On January 13th,
strict Saturn takes a four-month retrograde backspin in Libra, your twelfth
house of rest, healing and completion. You’ve got a toxic habit of
holding on with your teeth to people and situations that are long expired.
Even if it’s just a mustard seed of resentment that you never reveal,
it can grow a forest over your heart.
