SCORPIOthe last. But on the first of January, the planets don’t suddenly change course and start singing a totally different song from the year before; those melodies carry on, albeit in a different key and at a different tempo. Old and familiar patterns gradually give way to new ones, as the planets wend their way through the zodiac.Which is a roundabout way of saying, don’t expect a dramatic difference as soon as 2021 takes off, although the week of the 25th January looks spectacular. Be patient. Things will change, and there will be the occasional random event that helps things change more quickly, but by and large, what will have the greatest impact on the year ahead, is you yourself. If you can manage your circumstances, you are set fair. Hoping your lucky star will do the job for you won’t work; your lucky star will appear when you’ve done the work!Rid yourself of the idea that the astrology is in charge of your life. It’s not. You are.Astrology’s greatest purpose is to reveal how to make the most of what we have, and to give us a map of the routes available to us in order to achieve the best in life. How we handle the weather - in other words the prevailing planetary alignments - is up to us.Hoping your lucky star will do the job for you won’t work; your lucky star willappear when you’ve done the work!GeneralThe famous Scorpio willpower is both a blessing and a curse; it gives you the determination and focus to succeed yet it also prevents you from making beautiful discoveries and getting out of ruts that are fundamentally bad for you. 2021 is all about the untried, the untested and the undiscovered.Jupiter and Saturn are both beginning new cycles, which require changes at root level. A new home base, possibly far away, or new people with whom to share it, could be part of this major reorientation, and there may well be changes in the lives of members of your family.In many ways, 2021 is a year of growth, yet it is growth that comes out of challenging circumstances. Uranus continues to be a force to be reckoned with, especially if your birthday falls in late October through early November, and November 19th’s lunar eclipse portends great things. Certainly, if you have held off from making moves in the hopes that you won’t have to make them, that eclipse will get you moving and motoring!Ruts are no place for the formidable Scorpion.
