Scorpio

scorpio1Janelle’s horoscope: This is a warrior year for you, little scorpion! Mars is in your sign for most of 2016. He’ll be kicking up a fuss in your first house of elf, urging you to kick @$$ and take names. But here’s the deal with Mars in Scorpio: He’s not as reckless as say Mars in Aries, nor as determined as Mars in Capricorn. He’s driven by emotion. Not necessarily emotion in the bursting into tears sense, but in the “tomorrow isn’t promised to me, do what can I do today?” sense. Death tends to freak a lot of us out, but awareness of our mortality can also motivate us to show up fearlessly in life. If you knew tomorrow wasn’t going to happen, what would you do today? What’s the thing the scares you the most? It’s probably the thing you need to do!

The first half of the month will have you gathering new information and absorbing new perceptions from many outlets—books, films, friends—before shifting gears around the 13th or 16th to focus more on activities at home. Watch out for unnecessary fighting at home, especially around the new moon on the 8th. Your Mars may kick up a fight with your family. Feel your way through conflict, and do your best to verbalize what you’re feeling.

The Virgo full moon takes place in your 11th house of hope and wishes, and you may feel an emotional pull to expand on the goals you want to achieve in the coming year. Do some free writing and creative doodling to get your mind open to creative ways to pursue your wishes. Its an action year for you Scorpio, get to it!

Dylan’s advice: We all knew that Scorpios have a bit of an intense streak, and it sounds like the Scorpios in the house might be grappling with mortality this month? That’s chill. No big. Every teen’s fave topic!!! Seriously, though—there’s nothing like pondering the mysterious void and our eventual turn to dust to get you thinking about the FUN STUFF. It’s a cliché, but yo, have you made your bucket list yet? OK, that sounds depressing—let me start over. Dear Scorpio, what are your wildest dreams, and do you have them written down somewhere? This year you’re called to kung fu your way closer to them, in mighty strokes and without any fucks given. Write them down, not just from an “after high school” or “before I’m 30” perspective, but from a view of your entire life. It sounds daunting, and a little spooky, to consider the milestones for every one of your forthcoming years on Earth…but it’s fun, and why not? It’s who you want to be. It’s what you want to live. To shred it up on this mortal plane, you’ll need a guide. Write your handbook and bravely go forth into the unknown.
