Scorpio’s Weekly Forecast: Jan 29 – Feb 4

Scorpio, the week begins with an earthy grand trine between Mars in Capricorn, Uranus in Taurus, and Black Moon Lilith in Virgo. This transit impacts your communication style, your connections and your ideas. It can give you the confidence to apply for something you’ve had on your bucket list for a while, or begin a creative project that’s been on your mind since the decade began. You’re being invited to step up as a leader and expert in your chosen field, and to speak up about what you stand for and care about. Reach out and connect with the ones that hold similar visions as you, be that in real life or virtually.

This week is an ideal time to make new friends or even spark a new romance through the causes you believe in and through speaking up and taking a stand. Stepping outside of your comfort zone will help you feel more empowered and connected to humanity. Now that we’re in the Pluto in Aquarius era, you’re noticing yourself opening up to the world and being less of an extreme hermit. You still love your solitude, but you crave genuine connection more than usual.

Romantically, Venus’ placement in Capricorn makes you more discerning of what’s been turning you on and off. You may be under the impression that someone close to you is playing mind games with you — resist the urge to play games with them too. It’s best to either give yourself some space to do your own thing, or have a direct conversation with them if you notice any awkwardness or confusion. With no planets currently retrograde, your ability to get your point across clearly and effectively increases around this time. The main thing to remember is to not take yourself or others too seriously with Venus and Mars both in Capricorn. Sometimes you’re overthinking the situation and the other person just needs some time to figure out their own objectives before reconnecting with you.

On Friday, we experience the Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio, occurring at 6:18pm EST. This is a time of intuition, understanding, letting go and setting new intentions. A few things that can aid you in this moment of transition between the Full and New Moon is paying attention to your impulse for nurture, whether you feel like nurturing yourself, your loved ones, your home, your pets or your plants. Follow this urge to sink into comforts and spread love and warmth to others. The Moon’s transit through our sign from Thursday to Saturday is also a good time to play around with your looks. How do you want to present yourself? What first impression would you like to give? You may be in the mood to give yourself a make-over or switch up you look this weekend. View life as your movie, and you’re the main star.
