Your January 2025 Horoscope for Scorpio

Once Mars moves backward into Cancer on January 6, you will be able to travel, if you’d like. Cancer is a water sign that blends beautifully with your water-sign Scorpio Sun. This is another indication that while Mars transits Cancer until April 17, you will find life far more manageable, especially regarding your career, even though he will be retrograde for part of that period (until February 23).

While in Cancer, Mars will move through your ninth house, a place in your chart that spawns personal curiosity and growth. If you cannot travel (you will soon see that the new and full moons this month will urge you to pack and go) and you have to remain home, you will still want to offer your mind diversions and intellectual stimulation. You may be working with collaborators in international settings. Alternatively, you might go back to college to finish your degree or start graduate school, or you can join a book club or sign up for creative writing classes before you begin the novel or screenplay you have in your heart.

For the first 10 days of January you will be influenced by the possibilities generated by last month’s December 30 new moon in Capricorn, 10 degrees, that lit your third house of short-distance travel. You might also need to sign papers, and if so, you can (Mercury went direct last month on December 15). I wish you could finalize the agreement at the end of February when Mars, your secondary ruler, is moving direct, not while he is retrograde as he is now. Alas, we can’t control all events in life. I don’t want you to miss an opportunity by saying you need to hold back.

You may have already signed papers months ago regarding something you are beginning now, and if so, there is a good chance that your timing was spot on. With Mars retrograde, assuming you do have to agree to terms at the December 30 new moon, which will affect you during the first 10 days of January, you may be reviewing past projects that were similar with the goal to pin down which parts of the assignment went right and which ones need to be addressed in a different way.
