ARIES
Are you familiar with the saying, 'despite what happens today, you will continue to do tomorrow what you did yesterday'? It's not as complicated as it sounds. It's another way of saying that we can all become stuck in comfort zones, oblivious to how deep they are and repetitive our lives become when we stick with what's familiar rather than take a bold step in a particular direction. This month, you could experience brief discomfort by removing yourself from a deeply-entrenched source of comfort. However, the prize on offer by taking a bold step into the unknown will undoubtedly make it worth taking!
TAURUS
Back in August, Uranus, the planet of change and disruption, went retrograde in your sign. Its weakened state probably explains why life has felt calmer or more manageable during recent months. On January 10, it awakens from its slumber. Life might not feel noticeably more volatile or chaotic immediately, but you'll probably be in no doubt about the fact that you're pushed to introduce a significant and potentially far-reaching change in your world. You've been granted time to assess your next move in a particular area, and, during the coming weeks, look set to take that step. Trust that any sense of hope or excitement you feel is very much justified!
GEMINI
The coming weeks bring helpful and timely developments related particularly to your career, relationships, or partnerships. Perhaps, the most significant progress on the professional front relates to a proverbial ball and chain, possibly in the form of a person, that has held you back for some time. During January, you look set to free yourself from this restrictive influence. But it's the way Mars influences partnerships from January 3 to mid-February that might require careful handling, especially if money matters are the source of disputes or tension. However, a new and exciting era is about to commence. You've waited for this. You've got this.
CANCER
It will likely be the Lunar Eclipse in your sign on January 10 that shines a bright light on a relationship matter. Whether a partnership relates to love, business, or both, you look set to experience an epiphany regarding what you want and need from this or possibly any future connection. Gone are the days when you allow your needs to take second place to someone else's. If a partnership has become noticeably one-sided or run its course, then the way forward could be highlighted with crystal clarity. Also, with Mars influencing your work and day-to-day routines, remember that there are right and wrong ways of dealing with problematic people. Try to resist succumbing to anger or confrontation wherever possible.
LEO
Work and career matters receive considerable focus, possibly due to the significant and far-reaching changes coming your way this month. Although much could feel tense and frustrating at times, it's essential to accept that, despite any plans that change or whatever or whoever you must release to make yearned-for professional progress, you're putting in place foundations that promise to be much more stable. Rather than prime yourself for or become frustrated by what you lose, trust that a reassuring gain - or new direction you head toward as a result - will replace it. Expect to end the month feeling much more inspired about your professional position.
VIRGO
You could be reminded of the saying about being able to choose your friends but not your family as the month commences, mainly due to Mars influencing your emotional foundations from January 3rd until mid-February. Some Virgos could discover that a family member becomes a source of tension or antagonism during this time. However, it's also possible that something connected with your home or domestic set-up could need addressing and resolving urgently. But the word 'urgency' could also apply to other areas of your world, especially if you believe you don't have time to plan or prepare for changes you sense are coming or those that arise unexpectedly. Whatever occurs, keep your cool and remain calm because progress, security, and stability you need won't be achieved by adopting a 'headless chicken' approach.
LIBRA
There could be something 'seesaw-like' about the way career-related issues demand attention and how you must also give considerable focus to home or family-related matters this month. A Lunar Eclipse on January 10 could put you in a powerful spotlight for career achievement but might also highlight the fact that the time has come to move on to another profession that's more satisfying and inspiring. A new sense of responsibility also awaits regarding your family or domestic set-up. A family member, your abode, or anyone you share it with could require you to do a balancing act to keep both your professional life and emotional foundations stable. Fortunately, you're blessed with plenty of cosmic support this month to excel at doing so.
SCORPIO
To say you look set to experience a shift in attitude or an altered perspective on a particular matter this month is an understatement. Although the release of a strongly-held belief could feel confusing or unsettling initially, you could discover that many obstacles or restrictions you've encountered regarding your personal happiness have been self-created. However, as inspiring as this epiphany might be for you, you could find that a partnership or relationship becomes tense or volatile as a result. A partner, whether in love or business, might not be supportive of your new-found clarity. As long as you embrace the new era commencing, then anyone who's meant to accompany you on your transformational journey will, undoubtedly, be at your side.
SAGITTARIUS
Divorces and debts are apparently two things that escalate noticeably at the start of every year. For some Sagittarians, it might be necessary to deal with both, but it's probably more likely to be money matters that preoccupy your thoughts or take up considerable time during the coming weeks. You might need to be extra clever and resourceful when dealing with anything related to money, debts, taxes or inheritances. Should one source of income be removed, then another level of cleverness will need to be applied to replace it. However, that's pretty much the theme of January - how resourceful you can be when you have to be and able you are to 'think on your feet financially' when tested to do so. New and innovative ways to make and save money are on offer and all you have to do is be willing to spot and seize them.
CAPRICORN
Take a final look at certain circumstances or arrangements as the month commences because they're about to be transformed beyond recognition. You could also benefit from doing the same by looking in a mirror because the person you are on the inside is also about to experience radical change. On January 12, a rare link between Saturn and Pluto promises to destroy the structure of something in your world and rebuild it in a way that's considerably stronger and more secure. This process is bound to feel harsh or unsettling, and it could be difficult to bid farewell to what - or who - has been a source of comfort, stability or predictability for some time. However, this cosmic 'clearing of the decks' serves a helpful and timely purpose. By the end of the month, you could feel noticeably more comfortable and relieved at whatever transpires.
AQUARIUS
Whether it's a case of 'push' coming to 'shove' or you reaching the end of your proverbial tether regarding your health or physical well being, it could be apparent as January commences that you can't continue struggling in ways you have done. For some Aquarians, the word 'struggling' could be a bit harsh because it might be more appropriate to say that there's something related to your health or how you feel about yourself generally that requires closure or a fresh start. That's something the Lunar Eclipse on January 10 intends to bring. You have another chance to experience a clean slate with a New Moon occurring in your sign on January 24. Be clear in your mind about what you want to leave behind or need to start anew with and then take a confident step to make it happen - because it can happen!
PISCES
It's interesting how the link between Saturn and Pluto on January 12 affects friendships and your involvement with groups or collaborative efforts, because every Piscean could have their own story to tell about what this brings. You could feel more compassionate and supportive of a friend in need or who is experiencing a crisis. It's also possible that you could assess your contribution within a group of some kind, decide that an imbalance exists between what you give and receive and cut your losses and walk away. Either way, it could become clear during the coming weeks who is worthy of your support - and who has possibly been a drain on it or your emotional or material resources for too long. |
