January 2
Mercury in Aquarius
This is a time of innovation, progressive communication, forward motion, getting plans written down and shared. Ideal for creating vision boards, Pinterest boards, journal notes, and talking about what you want to create in January. Everything might not stick (Aquarius energy can be flighty), but it can still be expressed.
January 2
New Moon in Capricorn
Gear up and get down to business. Progress can be made at this time, focus is strengthened, and ambition is at the forefront of everyone's mind. Grounding energy to balance the many ideas rushing in. Capricorn helps solidify and organize what must be done first.
January 9
First Quarter Moon
Commit to your interest, follow your desires, and take action. Less talking more doing. Keep physical energy high in order to maintain mental stamina. Planting seeds.
January 14
Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius
Petty arguments and mixed communication among friends. Mental backtracking and second-guessing. Doubting ideas. Ideas will range from genius to insane–will be hard to decipher which is which. A breakdown in or delayed technology. Potential for short-term internet and phone issues. Social media scandals likely.
January 17
Full Moon in Cancer
Intuition will be on high alert. This is a time to be near to those who are nurturing. Deep emotional wounds may become exposed–though uncomfortable, it’s healing. This is a time to fully express what you value. Can feel emotionally charged and vulnerable. Signals of an issue, life theme, or major project coming full circle.
January 18
Uranus goes Direct in Taurus
Uranus energy can be quite dramatic and intense. Don’t be surprised if something, well, surprising occurs. Uranus loves shock values and represents all things groundbreaking and innovative. That couldn’t be more different than Taurus, the sign it’s stationed in. Taurus loves the familiar and prefers slow-moving, invited change.
The tension can be felt during this time. It may be that you are eager to escape everyday routine but the environment isn’t supporting your acts of whimsy. The pull between maintaining your day job and wanting to ditch capitalism altogether will be strong now. Keep in mind long-term goals and how they support your overall life mission.
January 18
True Node Enters Taurus
The nodes of destiny enter the Taurus-Scorpio axis and will remain for the next 18 months. As a collective, we will crave connection and unity. Creative ways to work together will come about. The meaning behind collaborations will be less about monetary gain and more about the value offered to everyone involved and the overall output. This is a time to find your tribe and inspire each other.
January 19
Sun Enters Aquarius
It’s officially Aquarius season which means things are about to get weird and slightly erratic. There is a greater need for independence, purpose, and daydreaming and the airy energy encourages us to indulge in ideas and mental fantasy. On a collective level, activism and humanitarian purposes take off as we all sense the urge to champion for a greater good.
January 24
Mars Enters Capricorn
This is intense, boss b*tch energy. It’s best not to mess with others (or be messed with) when fiery Mars is in grounded Capricorn. Besides everyone being a little on edge, this is also a great time to solidify what you want the upcoming month to look like. If you have any deadline, due dates, or big demands–this will be a time to keep your head down and plow through it. Just try not to hurt anyone along the way.
January 25
Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio
Time for some deep cleaning. The last quarter moon is all about reflection and letting go while Scorpio occupies our innermost feelings (especially the ones we never share). Any resistance to growth or change will fall away. The cry for something new is heard loud and clear by the Universe. But you’ll have to be willing to let parts of you die, first.
January 25
Mercury Rx enters Capricorn
Moving from Aquarius to Capricorn, Mercury retrograde feels extra heavy now. Expect work to slow down or at least your desire to achieve much in this area will diminish. Don’t take on new projects or sign with new clients at this time. When Mercury goes direct, deals done now will prove to be unreliable. One foot in front of the other at this time. Don’t overpromise or underdeliver.
January 29
Venus goes Direct in Capricorn
Even though work has slowed, Venus gives us relief and invites us to celebrate how far we’ve come. Pressure will lighten in our relationships–personal and professional. Life starts to feel more harmonious and easygoing. The path to success doesn’t appear as daunting.
