Today's Scorpio Horoscope from Cafe Astrology

January 23, 2026

With today's Sun-Pluto alignment, dear Scorpio, you can more clearly recognize areas of your life that need a serious update or reboot. It's a good time to focus on what needs to be left behind or upgraded and transformed. Pluto energies prefer to improve what you already have! You might channel your energies quite successfully into a home-related pursuit. This transit can also illuminate areas of resentment or overattachment. With extra insight or self-awareness, it’s easier to solve problems. You might see desires or resentments that were buried, particularly related to your personal life, family, and home matters. The Moon heads into your solar sixth house and will spend a couple of days there, and it can be satisfying to handle some loose ends. Putting in the effort towards something productive can be in the spotlight.

The Astrology of Today – All Signs

Horoscope for All on Friday, January 23, 2026

Mars enters Aquarius today and will visit the sign until March 2nd.
During this cycle, energy levels can be dynamic yet erratic. We are team players–cooperative and less concerned about personal power than in previous cycles.
We could be achieving our goals through hit-or-miss tactics.
Impersonal expression of anger is characteristic of Mars in Aquarius.
We are attracted to unconventional methods and tend to approach problems from an intellectual, detached perspective during the Mars-in-Aquarius cycle.
We tend to act only when we can entirely get behind or believe in our actions.
As such, we might spend more time thinking about action than taking it.
However, when motivated, we’re crusaders for our ideas and causes.
Mercury's parallel to Mars today lends spontaneous, forthright, and energetic elements to our communications and can prompt lively thoughts and interactions.
However, we also seek more intensity in our lives and relationships as the Sun aligns with Pluto.
We're persistent, and the need to gain more control over our lives can feel pressing.
We are strong-willed, resourceful, and focused, and we may benefit by keeping things to ourselves and not rushing forward prematurely.
This influence draws our attention to the desire for self-mastery.
A minor crisis might alert us to an area of life that requires work, improvement, and transformation.
We should guard against temperamental behavior and decision-making.
Some paranoia or extremes of thinking could be behind this.
The focus should be on recycling, updating, revising, and eliminating so that we can grow.
Unusual, intense, or dramatic happenings are possible with friends and networks.
We may be confronting issues of control and power related to individuality, equality, friendships, and group associations.
The Moon enters Aries at 8:27 AM EST, an assertive, action-oriented influence.
We recognize our need for self-direction, but we're cooperative and appreciate others.
Refueling can involve finding new inspiration, helped along by the Moon's sextiles to Mars, Pluto, the Sun, Mercury, and Venus.
The Moon is void from 8:18 AM EST, with the Moon's last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Neptune), until the Moon enters Aries at 8:27 AM EST.

January 2026 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:

January is a powerful month for learning, sharing, and connecting, dear Scorpio. You can wow others with your words, ideas, and knowledge. Love and communication tie together in wonderful ways, and an exciting new interest or project can be in the cards. This is probably the best time of year for speaking engagements, communication project launches, or simply for presenting and sharing your ideas. You may find yourself in high demand, as you are currently the go-to person for advice or good company.

You have the opportunity to smooth over troubled areas with siblings, acquaintances, and even neighbors if necessary this month. The lines of communication are open. Increasingly, your home and family life come into sharp focus as the month advances. Until then, love may be found in your own neighborhood, through siblings' connections, or through learning endeavors. You're confident and enthusiastic, particularly about a project, a course of study, an idea, or a pursuit. With others around you responding well, you feel even more motivated. You can be about expanding and growing a project, personal writings, or a connection. You can meet someone special while running an errand, in the neighborhood, on the phone, or at a class.

The Full Moon on the 3rd is a call to expand your interests and experiences, particularly if you’ve been overly focused on your personal life. You may also be dealing with unexpected transportation issues, whether local or long-distance. This Full Moon can bring a communication, learning, or transportation matter to a head or a turning point. Announcements, awards, or completed projects can generate much attention. Remember that a lot is happening in your head, and you may end up talking ahead of yourself and possibly misrepresent yourself if you’re not careful. Still, you’re passionate about your ideas and pursuits, and you're probably very excited about sharing them or stating your case. Learning is quick and easy! The motivation to learn or express yourself is strong.

While you should certainly think in big terms, avoid taking on so much that you don’t know where to begin. Excesses could be with mental pursuits and projects–you want to shine, which may have led you to take on or promise too much. Overextension is possible, and toning things down can be challenging because your desire to excel is so strong.

Especially from the 6th to the 9th, expressing yourself comes most naturally, and you attract others with your perspective, words, or ideas. Playful or gentle competition can be motivating. You might make a mental connection with someone special that’s especially notable and enjoyable. You may want to take on a challenging project or enjoy a particularly important discussion. It’s easy to become worked up about an idea or opinion, and influences now can stir your passion for a mental interest or project. Your enthusiasm to get things done, succeed, and excel is through the roof. You should probably watch for impatience and for speaking before thinking.

The month is excellent for collecting information, research of any kind, and work that involves refining and editing. With the New Moon on the 18th, you want action with learning, sharing, and connecting. It can usher in a new beginning with your daily affairs, communications, contacts, and personal interests.

As the month progresses, making memories with family and getting some much-needed rest climb to the top of your priority list. Domestic life is likely to be animated at times, but mostly in a pleasurable way. The shift in focus begins with Venus moving into your sector of home and family on the 17th. Next, the Sun and Mercury move into this area of your solar chart on the 19th and 20th, respectively, and then Mars arrives on the 23rd. There may be emotional breakthroughs and creative problem-solving in your domestic life or inner world.

Especially in the last week of the month, there can be extra busyness and also enjoyment in your personal life. There can be valuable lessons about family, or through family. You can be mainly preoccupied with personal and domestic matters. Your interest in home and family matters is strong. Family and close friends are easy to get along with, and you are unusually open to sharing your space and thoughts with them. It’s also a good time to negotiate with family or discuss home and family matters. Clarifying your feelings can be successful.

This Year: Scorpio

2026 Yearly Horoscope Overview

The year ahead is a period for learning and manifesting, dear Scorpio. The first half of 2026 is a powerful time to hone your expertise and gain experience. You’re learning about the world around you and updating your skills.

Until June 30th, study and learn what you can while your mind is a sponge, while educational opportunities are abundant, and while good teachers or mentors tend to be more available to you. This way, you’ll be able to take fuller advantage of the career peak coming that begins as early as mid-year. There’s money here, in addition to a stronger feeling that you’re truly living life, rather than just going through the motions.

From mid-February forward, organizing your daily routines and meeting responsibilities head-on is in focus. At the same time, pressures from both Neptune and Saturn release from romantic relationships and your world of leisure and entertainment, lightening your load. These areas have been heavier in recent years, and you’re likely to feel freer to enjoy your creative and romantic world going forward.

The second half of the year is strong for finances. You’re projecting an image that shows others you truly value yourself, which can attract respect and possibly also monetary rewards. It’s a time to put yourself out there. People notice you, respond to you, respect you, and value you. You might gain recognition for your natural talents. There can be a promotion, the start of a new business or expansion of a current one, or a boost in a relationship with a parent.

Partnerships may have been a wildcard in your life for many years, but this is set to change from April 25th onward. In recent years, you’ve likely experienced experimental or alternative ways of relating, whether this was voluntary or not. You are now moving into the position to process the lessons you’ve learned about your expectations of others and what you truly want from a partnership. You also benefit from living your life according to your own values, not merely reacting to what others are –or aren’t– throwing your way. Rebelling can eventually lead you back to yourself with greater understanding, and this is where you’re at on this journey in 2026.

You’ll find people in your life less rebellious or unpredictable. Even so, some experimentation with relationships is likely to continue. Your attitude towards intimacy and finances will change over the coming years as you open yourself to new pleasures and detach from old habits, tastes, and desires. You’ll also be exploring different financial arrangements. Unexpected events and feelings are stirring regarding your intimate life, financial life, and support systems. On some level, you’re seeking more freedom with your sexuality, in your relationships, and regarding support or attachments. Freeing yourself from limiting expectations or restrictions can figure strongly now.

There can be changing attitudes toward domestic life and family this year, or your roles are evolving, and issues with control and dependency may surface. You could be more involved in or invest more in your home and family.

With your daily life, you’re bringing more ambition, common sense, and the ability to turn your plans into reality to the table from mid-February forward. It’s a powerful time to get started on a healthy lifestyle change or to discipline yourself to get a job done, and done well!

This year, you’re reaching a new understanding of your goals and believing more powerfully in your general direction. Your efforts to revamp your daily routines and pursue wellness help round out your life and create better opportunities to succeed. Good energy is with you as you bring more structure to your life without compromising your need for imagination and entertainment. It’s a time when believing in yourself, your competency, and your ability to take the lead opens up opportunities to you.

2026 Love Horoscope for Scorpio

Eclipses in 2026 continue to portend big changes in your romantic life or creative world, dear Scorpio, after some deep rumblings and stirrings.

A set of eclipses has been working its magic on your social life and romantic world for over a year, and this will continue until February 2027. You recognize needs you never knew you had, and the desire to express yourself more joyfully is in focus. Something is stirring within you–a feeling of unrest or dissatisfaction with your level of enjoyment in life–and this inner discontent demands a few changes! Passion and intensity in affairs of the heart can run rampant, and enthusiasm overflows.

As such, Eclipses fall across your romance and friendship axis until 2027, bringing changefulness and fresh-start energy to your romantic life and friendships. This year, another Lunar Eclipse occurs in your romance sector on August 28th.

Two big shifts in 2026 involve Saturn and Neptune moving OUT of your romance sector…cont’d

Special note concerning Covid-19

Special note:

Astrological transits continue in their cyclical ways no matter the current situation. They should always be adapted to what’s going on in your life in sensible ways. This applies at all times, but is particularly relevant now during this health crisis. During the quarantines, if the planetary transits are suggesting it’s a great time to socialize, for example, it makes sense to adapt this to online socializing. Let’s be safe and protect one another through social distancing, when possible. Much love, Annie (March 18, 2020)

My heart goes out to all those experiencing difficulty. Love, Annie (April 1, 2020)
