The Week Ahead for Scorpio
Monday, 30 December – Sunday, 5 January
January comes in with a bang, not a whimper. On Friday, Mars opposes Pluto for the second time in this cycle, which may explain why life is anything but smooth-sailing and probably a tad edgy. On the plus side, this combo will enable you to get rid of the clutter of Christmas past, if not a whole lot of other items no longer fit for purpose, but, on the down side, if there are tensions between you and another person, you’re probably going to snap. Maybe you do want to start the year clean and clear, but since Mars is in retrograde, there’s almost certainly more water to flow under the proverbial bridge.

Monday, 23 December – Sunday, 29 December
Another Christmas when Santa’s elves have failed to consult the cosmic gods. These alignments are more suited to board meetings and affairs of state. Having them oversee a festive extravaganza is a bridge too far. Still, to be forewarned is to be forearmed. Venus and Uranus are at odds and although this combo can inspire fabulous surprises, especially of the romantic kind, they can trigger arguments and upsets. Do your level best to roll with the punches and keep reminding yourself that Christmas comes but once a year and there are another 300 plus days to set wrongs to rights.

The Month Ahead for Scorpio
January 2025
It’s good to start a new year with a fresh slate, and thanks to Pluto you’ll be doing a lot of cleaning and clearing! Aside from getting rid of the remains of Christmas past, you could be saying goodbye to something else that is so “last year”, and once you’ve removed the old growth, you’ll be exposing what is new and full of life. However, before you burn a bridge, make sure you don’t need it. That said, you may not have a lot of choice as to what comes or goes. The last ten days of January could be intense, even a tad uncomfortable, but it’s the old, old story, you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.

The Year Ahead for Scorpio
Life won’t suddenly change on 1 January. But it may suddenly change on 21 April. The mid-to-late April period is full of ground-breaking, potentially life-changing, alignments… January through late May is an optimum period for marriage, engagement and meeting prospective partners. If you are already happily entwined, your other half may experience success, which in turn benefits you… Just imagine Lord Pluto erupting from the underworld and kidnapping you while you were picking narcissuses on a sunny afternoon. What a shock! What? Why? That’s how astrological Pluto works, out of nowhere a situation develops which you never saw coming.
