As powerful Mars, your co-ruler, leaves passionate Aries for slow-moving Taurus on January 6, you’ll experience quite a change of pace. You aren’t complaining exactly, but the lack of excitement will take some getting used to. It isn’t always easy for you to stop things cold turkey, so ease into this energy change as best you can.

The sun conjoins Pluto, your other co-ruler, on the fourteenth, giving you the power you always wished you had. It’s nice to be in total control of things, but don’t let it go to your head, Scorpio. Even though you’re clearly in charge of your own destiny now, it won’t last forever. Someone will come along and challenge you eventually, and the longer you’re in power, the harder it will be to lose your crown.

The full moon in fire sign Leo on January 28 is exciting and a little unpredictable. When one thing ends, you expect another to begin, but it doesn’t always work that way. Try not to have any expectations during this unpredictable lunation.

A Venus-Pluto conjunction on the same day increases your desire for love and affection. You aren’t usually emotionally needy, so this aspect can throw you off your game. Find healthy distractions to avoid thinking about what you want but don’t have.
