Scorpio, you made it through the New Moon in Sagittarius and through the Winter Solstice! Today is the first day of the week, and your six-month journey is freshly underway. You’ll find yourself pausing and thinking “You know what?” often over the next half a year. You need to focus on what is important to you and what you enjoy.

What makes you, you! This doesn’t mean to completely abandon others you care about. It simply means put more effort and focus on yourself. Those who matter and bear no ill will will still be around. You may find the end of this Year of the Snake brings you to shed your skin, and those around you who do not positively impact your life, actions, or well-being.

Today’s Moon & Sun

The Sun is in Capricorn right now, Scorpio. Since the Sun can primarily influence your ego and self, take some traits these signs offer you right now. Even though the Sun is ruled by Leo, with it being in Capricorn, it couldn’t hurt to borrow some confidence and inspiration from Leo as you start your six-month journey. Likewise, borrow some practicality from Capricorn.

The Moon is also in Capricorn today, ironically. As Mother Moon slowly creeps up into the night sky, take a moment to remember she is in her third quarter. This phase is known to radiate strong urges to let go and release. Perfect timing for you, Scorpio! The third quarter lunar phase also encourages reflection. Tonight, let your mind wander into how you can utilize these urges in an impactful way, helping you grow in a self-focused nature. Mother Moon will shift into Aquarius next.

Scorpio’s Do’s and Don’ts

Today is a great day to start journal work, or maybe start brainstorming with a pen and paper. Or pencil, if you prefer. Reign in your mind to focus, whether it be reworking a budget, creating one, or making a to-do list. You may even have some immediate situations at hand that have been racking your brain, so try working on a pros and cons list!

Take today as a way to get your body moving in a way of release, not of overexertion. A walk never hurt anyone, or a jog. However, today you will find your body, mind, and spirit will thank you for some deep crescent lunges or stretches that expand your body and energy flow. You will feel less stiff, physically and metaphysically. Sometimes you forget that your physical health and spiritual health both need attention, Scorpio.

Do’s

• make lists of things to do, and maybe even of pros and cons
• journal or draw
• read a book
• stretches or yoga.

Don’ts

• be quick to react with others
• make immediate decisions when it comes to finances
• act cocky towards others today- know the difference between confidence and cockiness
• forget your coffee or tea

Relationships and Family Daily Forecast

Today, you will find comfort in your home and familiar places. Make sure to visit a family member or a friend, or maybe even invite them over. You may feel stronger emotions today, so if you know a Sagittarius with whom you are close, honesty could bring you both closer today, Scorpio. This applies to family, friends, and even deeper relationships.

Finances and Career Daily Forecast

Don’t be quick to make a financial decision today, or this week, for that matter. Review your budget and identify areas for improvement. Equally, if you see you have extra funds in a specific area of your budget left over, do not treat them as play money for a while. Put them in your savings, or invest them in stocks or cryptocurrency. Do your research, Scorpio, before choosing where to invest these funds.

You may find yourself feeling hyper-productive in the morning, Scorpio. This won’t necessarily fade away after the morning, but you will find yourself realizing how much you have accomplished already once the afternoon comes. This does not mean bragging at work, but simply reflecting on how much you can achieve when you naturally focus.

Until Tomorrow

Today is just one day in a cycle that you will find yourself reflecting and inspecting any and all things that you are involved in or create, Scorpio. You will also slowly ease into an awareness of who serves your path with good intentions, who doesn’t, and who is simply just co-existing. The key is not to rush this process, and to also remember to not rush any decisions. Whether they are financial or related to bonds with others, take your time.

This is the beginning of the new week, just like it is the beginning of a six-month cycle of self-appreciation and reincarnating your appreciation and self-work. Take things seriously, but don’t rush them, Scorpio. Intensity will come over the next several months, so don’t wish it on yourself too early.
