As a cautious and thorough Scorpio, you tend to regard the need to rethink plans suddenly as an indication they weren’t adequately thought out to begin with. While this is probably the case now, with so much in transition, sudden twists and turns aren’t just likely, however carefully you plan, they’re still inevitable.

For ages either circumstances or the need to be tactful have prevented a frank discussion of certain crucial matters. However, with both the communication planet Mercury and the Sun having recently met your ruler Pluto, events or possibly your own desire to clear things up have forced you to talk things over. The resulting powerful insights weren’t just a relief, they felt like a real victory.  

Although unsettling developments currently reshaping your life began in mid-December, you’re still hoping changes are temporary. They’re not. The secret? Instead of battling what’s arisen, begin asking questions. The more you learn, the sooner you’ll spot the potential, even in what seem disruptions. Initially, shedding the past won’t be easy. The world around you is shifting, often dramatically but in ultimately beneficial ways. Wait, watch and learn. The sooner you embrace the future, the more swiftly you’ll realise how exciting the unexpected can be.

After years of being unable to make changes, mostly because of lack of options, you’ve learnt to make the best of life as it is. Yet as 2021 unfolds, changes in once-rigid arrangements open the door to new possibilities. Being a cautious Scorpio, you’ll take things slowly. However, others are worryingly eager to leap in. Instead of discussing this, back off and let them try. They’ll soon realise how wise you are to wait, watch and learn. Even if you do plunge in, final decisions are unlikely to come together until Mars brings its courage and initiative to Scorpio on 30 October. That and the fresh perspective triggered by the Scorpio New Moon, on 4 November will justify instincts that said to wait, and equally, give you the courage to plunge into unfamiliar alliances and settings.
