Read your sign’s 2024 horoscope to see what’s in store for you this year, or check out the Scorpio personality profile.
Welcome to your first Scorpio horoscope of 2024. January comes with a full moon that puts you in the spotlight and gives you lots of opportunities to feel cozy. During December, your horoscope begged you to make time for rest during the holiday season. Just because you may have had “days off” doesn’t mean that you got to rest. For many Scorpios, family drama (or trauma) turns the holidays into some of the most stressful days of the year. Mercury ended its retrograde on Monday, January 1. If you couldn’t during the December festivities, please try to use New Year’s Day for self-care. You deserve it. How nice does a hot bath and plenty of sleep sound?
Quite often, a Scorpio horoscope will warn against using your stinger. However, when your ruling planet, the fighter Mars, enters Capricorn and your 3rd House of Communication on Thursday, January 4, you’re encouraged to stand up for yourself. Plenty of people reading this have been told to behave far too often. The stars say that you’re allowed to have a diva fit every once in a while. So if anyone tries to take advantage of you, go ahead and whip out that stinger.
However, when it comes to arguments with your favorite people, such as romantic partners and best friends, kind and direct communication is key, even when issues arise. There are bound to be disagreements when any two (or more — shout out to throuples) people get together. But thankfully, you’re able to find the words to end an ongoing dispute with someone near to your heart during the Capricorn new moon, the lunar phase associated with fresh starts, on Thursday, January 11. This theme continues when Mercury, the messenger of the gods, moves into your 3rd House of Communication on Saturday, January 13. This could spark another disagreement, but for now, give yourself some credit for working it out. Love is beautiful and worth the times that are just straight-up hard.
With that settled, you can look forward to Aquarius season, kicking off on Saturday, January 20. You know how your horoscope already asked you to try to take a day off to recover from any holiday “days off?” Yeah, you need some more of that. See your chosen family as much as you want, but only if you’re doing something fun or relaxing that excites you. Otherwise, Scorpio, be lazy during Aquarius season. Watch TV. Wear loungewear as often as possible. And continue to sleep. You’ve been working too hard. When your second planetary ruler (the other, as you may recall, is Mars), goth Pluto, moves into your 4th House of Home and Family on Saturday, January 20, lean into your weird, introverted side.
