Hello Fellow Travelers!
January brings lots of "gets stuff done" energy in focus as the Sun, Pluto and Mercury and Venus mix it up in Capricorn the sign financial security and career until the 22nd. On the 21st Mercury goes retrograde in Aquarius for 3 weeks pointing to misunderstandings, missed details, travel delays, or just plain confusion. Check and double check correspondence as strange mistakes appear causing miscommunications and unnecessary drama. Pluto and Uranus are still working to transform all the outdated ideas of banking and obsolete cultural institutions so they are held to a higher standard that matches our modern society. Jupiter is moving backwards so we can assess if those creative projects, publishing ideas, marketing or travel plans and spiritual paths we started last summer are valid. This period is for us to see what works and what doesn't so by April 8th we know what to build on.
Post holiday blues may be a bit lessened this year with Saturn in fun loving Sagittarius and Mars in friendly Aquarius. In fact with three big planets in fire signs, we could be in for a very exciting spring and summer!
Plan for the unexpected and perhaps it'll be you starting some fires!
Begin the month with getting the work done for your career and ambitions because by the end of the month when the Sun and other planets are in Aquarius you'll be too busy with friends. Two, count them TWO new moons in Aquarius in January and February are definitely pointing to a "lets start something" energy for those Aquarians and the area in your chart wherever they land.

Taurus: January continues the expansion theme in marketing, publishing, religion and planning travel. All the work you have done in the last year towards your career will bear some fruit mid-month. Your intense inner restlessness is coming from the deepest parts of you. You may not know why you are resisting leaving old habits behind but there is a need to let go and let go now. Stubbornness in this situation doesn't help you. Lots of gatherings or group causes keep you busy most of the month and will intensify. Neptune here points to some charitable activities or maybe friends who struggle with reality needing you. You are always someone people can count on. Mercury goes retrograde on the 21st and for three weeks it affects your career ambitions or reputations. You may need to readjust, rework, reassess, repeat, redo work plans for a few weeks. Things are more difficult when Mercury moves backwards so double check everything you say or write as things could get misunderstood. The Full moon in Cancer completes what you started last June 2014 in the areas of writing, transportation, siblings and local community. You are onto a new phase now. The New moon on the 20th normally great for new starts in the area it lands is complicated because it coincides with Mercury's backward movement. So this month assess, plan, and research so when the next new moon occurs on Feb. 18th you can implement changes supported by celestial energy as well as support your life.
Look out for sudden shifts in friendships as your desire for authentic friends allows for some to leave your life too. The Full Moon on January 5th falls in your 2nd house of personal income and values. What you started back last June 2014 involving these areas is coming to completion and moving to a new phase.
Neptune has made all normally grounded Virgos more romance minded with these partners and may bring a bit of fantasy to your relations for several years. The Full Moon on the 5th brings to completion some groups affiliations, friendships or causes you started back in late June 2014. What was happening then is ending onto the next phase of understanding. On Tuesday the 20th the New Moon, Sun, Mercury and Venus in Aquarius will start another cycle and offers some supportive energy for you to begin new diets, exercise habit, a new work schedule that fits you better or maybe even getting a pet! Mercury adds some second-guessing and missed details as you figure out what makes you happy but by February 18th you will have worked out the kinks towards a healthier new you, better daily work environment or the furry addition to the family.
Libra: Sweet Libras you have been through many trials and transformations in the past few years being part of the Cardinal Cross that have affected your partnerships, home, family and personal identity. This energy is pressuring you to release outdated beliefs about what makes up a family or a partnership. We are all meant to be happy, it's a natural law and if you weren't aligned with your soul's highest good, difficult times ensue. Be open and let go of expectations set up from early in life so you are free to love and be loved. Mars is stirring up creativity, children and play until the 11th and then daily work schedules, pets and health become the focus. You may make those Dr. appointments for yourself or your furry friends. This can also show up as a period of busyness at work, lots to do. Duties and responsibilities revolve around communications, transportation, learning, writing and siblings. This is the typical time to commit to a new vehicle or make changes in how you express yourself. It possibly could come after some difficult exchanges where you see what you can do better. Jupiter is expanding your groups and friendships, which is much needed at this time for you. Mercury goes retrograde on the 21st in the area of children, play, creative projects or romance which forces you to rethink, rework, renew, or assess those areas. Commonly, situations could require you to redo mistakes, details are misunderstood or communications are spotty. It's your chance to become self aware, luckily Venus makes things easier. An opportunity for money and some beneficial experiences even with all the redoing is available until the 27th. And on the 20th when the New moon joins the Sun, Mercury and Venus for several days the energy is perfect for beginning a project or something fun. You know if you are having fun, it's easy to create abundance. Just plan to implement your new plan when the next new moon happens on February 18th.
The Full moon on Sunday, the 5th completes something in your career or reputation house that you started back in June of 2014, you reap what you sowed.
The month starts with lots of activity in your home but by the 12th the focus switches and your children, art or music goings-on or even romance gets a dose of energy. From the 28th till the end of the month you could have some lucky inspirations to make the most out of all this energy financially and supporting some passionate evenings!
Capricorn: Happy birthday Capricorn! You have been enduring the destructive and renewing power of the very long-term Pluto transit causing your inner and outer transformation. Spurts and sudden changes in your home and family life are the norm as your identity shifts. Adjust your expectations to allow for these changes and welcome them if possible. They are creating an opportunity for an authentic life, which is the dream of most people. Saturn is starting to place some heavy-duty awareness on you to stay in, cocoon or take a break from the real world. This is an important step to reconnecting to your hidden self, fears or old beliefs that are ready to be removed. Start journaling, if you haven't already or speak to someone if you encounter difficult emotions. This period of self-reflection is the end of a 29-year transit so is vital to commit to self-care and will last for 2 1/2 years. Jupiter is growing, although more slowly as he goes in reverse, your subconscious mind, sexual intimacy and partner's resources. This could show up as an inheritance, your partner gets a raise or investment or you have the urge to expand your beliefs through hypnosis or other therapies. The first half of the month brings lots of action in your house of personal income and should be lucky time as Venus passes through 3rd-26th. Maybe ask for a raise? If you do, do it before the 15th as Mercury moves into his shadow prior to going in reverse and this may confuse the discussions or details. The second half of the month highlights communications, siblings, writing and transportation (cars, bikes or feet). Mars jump starts Neptune and it makes things a bit mysterious which is good for creative writing or losing oneself in a book if that interests you but not good for large purchases. Wait until mid to late February. Your siblings, expressing yourself through speaking or writing and your local community should keep you pretty busy. The Full moon on January 5th completes what you started when the new moon was in Cancer back in June 2014. What was happening then in your partnerships or marriage? This phase has ended for now and you are beginning a new one. The new moon on the 20th holds an opportunity for you to start something in the area of personal income or values, perfect for you Capricorns! Plan, research and process but wait to implement ideas until next month on the next New Moon on February 18th.
You have lots of activity with the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Venus transiting your sign. Plus TWO new moons, one in January and again in February! Apparently the Universe is suggesting you initiate something. The first half of the month has Mars giving you a dose of fuel powered drive and by the 12th this energy shifts into your personal income or values such as self-esteem. You could find yourself focusing hard to maintain income because Saturn and Neptune are not playing nice. Or just you may have too much to do!
You may also notice friends or groups disappearing from your life either through your decisions or simply by growing in different directions. In 2 ½ years you will find out who is truly authentic to your current life. Jupiter helps lighten up partnerships so everything feels optimistic and fun. Venus brings luck and beauty to you until the 26th and makes your communications easy and fruitful. As she moves into your house of personal income on the 27th this may add some lucky energy there until next month. Complicating matters Mercury goes retrograde on the 21st alongside the New moon. You of all signs will feel this combination most pointedly. Missing details, confusion and misunderstandings are definite possibilities until February 11th. This new moon is great for initiating change in your personal identity or how you want to show yourself in the world but with Mercury going backwards, start planning, observing and compiling decisions but hold off until the next new moon to take action on February 18th.
Pisces: The month starts with Mars activating your 12th house of secrets, fears or karma bringing to light some beliefs or habits for good or bad. Pisces you are prone to losing yourself in creativity, spirituality or substances. Neptune in your own sign for many years may be mudding your mind or helping you to feel ungrounded. If this is you, work on mindfulness techniques like breathing (this is a great resource: The Little Book of Mindfulness by Dr. Patrizia Collard) or getting out into nature so you return to your five senses. If you decide to leave this dimension, make sure you leave a trail of breadcrumbs. Saturn on your Mid-heaven points to a fantastic 29-year cycle career peak! Whatever you have put energy into as far as career or reputation for the last 14 years is now bearing fruit. With this also comes great responsibility and duty so this may conflict with your desire to relax and spend time alone like many Pisces do. This will continue for 2 ½ years as you set priorities between work and personal identity. In addition, daily work is still optimistic and lucky with Jupiter in the 6th. Jupiter expands what it touches and the 6th house also covers your health, so if you do good for your body this will grow, if you are negligent about diet and exercise than excess is a possibility. The Full Moon on January 5th in Cancer marks the completion of something that started in June 2014. This area includes children, fun, love affairs and drama or art. That phase is finished for good or bad and you are moving on taking what you learned. The new Moon on the 20th coincides with Mercury retrograding on 21st plus the Sun and Venus nearby all in Aquarius and your 12th house. What you discovered from late December up until January 11th about your psyche, habits or secrets is where you will find potential soul evolvement. Use this information wisely - IT IS A GIFT. The new moon means initiating new stuff and Mercury in reverse is asking us to assess, redo, rework, renew, and observe your thought patterns or unhealthy habits in the deep recesses of your mind. You can use this is by taking your self reflection discoveries and meditating on them regularly so when the next new Moon comes again on Feb 18th so you can release what no longer serves you and make the changes permanent.
