Suddenly everything is more expensive. While that could mean long-term benefits on the trading floor, today you'll feel the pinch in small ways. Your coffee, bus fare or bank service charges might have you digging deeper into your pocket or changing up your routine. On the plus side, it could be the incentive you need for some bigger financial changes.
Your attention doesn't stray far from home this month, Scorpio. You might have to spend some money on your siblings or perhaps a neighborhood cause, but mostly you're content just to putter around at home, moving through your own private routine. This is a good year for that in general, but especially when Mercury, the planet of communication, goes retrograde in this sector of your chart from January 11 through February 1. Your best financial days this month are the 19th through the 22nd, but since they fall during Mercury retrograde, resist all but the most routine transactions, and pay close attention when you do make them. Otherwise, missteps and forgotten or mistaken information can cause headaches later. The New Moon in your home sector on the 26th marks an excellent time to launch a new plan regarding your home or family, and an even better time to make a purchase that seals the deal.
