Between Monday, December 31 and Tuesday, January 1, the transiting Moon journeys through the eighth zodiac in the constellations Scorpius. Scorpio is the elemental water sign of bravery, resourcefulness and stubbornness. The star sign is ruled over by the Red Planet Mars and the distant dwarf body Pluto. People born under the guidance of Scorpio are said to be friends in the true meaning of the word but can be secretive and jealous at times.
At the same time, the Sun moves through the zodiac of Capricorn and will remain in this transit until January 20.
Capricorn is an earth sign in the constellation Capricornus.
Astrologers believe the star sign symbolises good self-control, discipline and responsibility in all areas of life.
People born under Capricorn tend to appreciate family, tradition and music above all else.

On the downside, however, Capricorns might come across as condescending and arrogant at times.

She said: “What’s even more important is that Mars is in the sign of its rulership.

“It happens approximately once every two years when Mars enters Aries and this is a very significant position because the planet is extremely powerful.”
According to the astrologer, Mars is the planet of risk, action and personal will.
The energies radiated by this celestial body are conductive towards competition and can even escalate toward aggression if left unchecked.
Marina explained this might manifest in a desire to be better than your peers or even by actively seeking out confrontation with others over this time period.
She said: “Generally the energy is more dynamic for the next month-and-a-half – we might be more competitive, we might be braver, we might be more confident, we may also be more impatient.
“Sometimes we may confront with other people or we may be harsher in some situations.
“So, of course, it really depends on how you’re using this energy but generally speaking the energy is dynamic, the energy is really fast and the energy is very positive for new projects, starting new things, for business for sports, for taking some risks.”
