Scorpio Planetary Horoscope for January 20, 2026

The Sun's return to your home and family sector today is something that at this time each year will always see the solar spotlight shift onto home, family and onto those rituals and routines that can help you feel grounded and can bring a sense of belonging. This is always a valuable chance to get back into a routine after the holiday period or just get back to basics. As the Sun returns today, it will be to find the Moon and Venus here, with your heart, intuition, instincts and imagination already directed here. Tomorrow Mercury, the planet of communication will return and two days later, Mars will return to usher in a more proactive phase.

Planetary Love

Ahead of the Moon's return for what will be both its first visit to your romantic sector for the year tomorrow and its last before Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams leaves next week, the focus today is more on having the communication lines open. The last few days have seen the Moon and Venus, the planet of love leave your communication sector, with the Sun's departure today coming just as in his last full day Mercury, the planet of communication is making it all about having the communication lines open.

Scorpio Planets

Ruled by Pluto, the planet of transformation, power, and rebirth, Scorpio is known for its intensity and depth. Pluto gifts Scorpios with a profound understanding of the unseen forces that drive human behavior, making them naturally skilled at navigating life's complexities and intricate relationships.

When the Sun shines in Scorpio, from approximately October 23 to November 21, the sign's inherent qualities of passion, resilience, and insight are supercharged. This period is perfect for diving into deep introspection, embarking on transformative projects, and forging intense emotional connections. The Sun in Scorpio fuels an energy that encourages profound personal growth and the revelation of hidden truths.

Pluto's influence on Scorpio significantly boosts their ability to transform and regenerate. For example, when Pluto aligns with the Sun in Scorpio, it magnifies personal power and the drive for profound change, making it an excellent time to initiate major life transformations. However, a Pluto-Venus square may present challenges in relationships, requiring Scorpios to confront and heal deep-seated emotional issues.

Pluto's transits through different signs also profoundly affect Scorpio. When Pluto transits through Scorpio itself, it heralds a period of intense personal transformation and empowerment. Scorpios may feel a heightened desire to delve into their subconscious, address inner conflicts, and emerge stronger and more self-aware. This transit is ideal for breaking free from old patterns and embracing new, more authentic ways of being.

When Pluto transits through more detached signs like Aquarius or Gemini, Scorpios need to make adjustments. These periods encourage approaching transformation from a more intellectual or social perspective, prompting exploration of new ideas and innovative connections with others. Although these transits might challenge their usual depth, they offer valuable opportunities for expanding horizons and gaining new insights.

Other significant planetary influences for Scorpio include Mars and Neptune. Mars, as the traditional ruler of Scorpio, intensifies their drive and determination, encouraging them to pursue goals with unwavering focus. This aspect fosters a courageous approach to challenges and a proactive stance in achieving personal and professional ambitions. Neptune, with its dreamy and intuitive energy, enhances Scorpios' psychic abilities and creativity, inspiring them to explore their spiritual side and express themselves artistically.
