Astro Overview for January

In the first month of the new year, the star signs are Sagittarius and Capricorn, closely followed by Aries and Aquarius. What marks the atmosphere of the beginning of the year is therefore a discreet game between the traditional and the new, between what is established and change. But let us take a closer look at how these energies manifest and with what we are expected to work with:

Mars enters Aries: perpetuum mobile

On January 1, Mars enters the sign of his diurnal domicile, Aries, from where he sets into motion the astral atmosphere of the beginning of the year from its earliest hours. Therefore, this year’s debut comes with a lot of spontaneity, courage and pioneering spirit that set us motion and open up our horizons to new things. We have to embrace this wind of change and let it carry us toward interesting new life experiences, whatever they may be.

Sun conjunct Saturn (Capricorn): omnia mea mecum porto

On the second of the month, the Sun and Saturn are meeting in the sign of the latter’s nocturnal domicile, which is why it may be that, during or around this day, we are more aware of who we are, how much we can and what our limitations are, and we see clearly how we can make that work to our advantage. In the end, no one is given more than they can, and this should make us be more optimistic.

Mercury steps into Capricorn: said and done

On January 5, Mercury steps into the sign of Capricorn, which makes us be more pragmatic over the coming weeks, frugal with words, more eager to let facts speak for ourselves. Also, our communication and socialization skills qualify now as a business card that can give us access to select circles where important decisions are made. That is why we carefully weigh everything we say and think.

Venus gets to Sagittarius: the love of change

With Venus in Sagittarius starting from January 7th, we are more open to novelty than in the previous weeks. We want our partner and us to experience new things, to discover interesting stuff together, to discuss ideas and share thoughts. We may, however, be rather fidgety in the romance department, thinking that perhaps that if we stop at a single person, we might lose the opportunity of meeting new people who could widen our horizons.

Sun conjunct Pluto (Capricorn): something is shaking inside me

During or around January 11, we may feel the conjunction between the Sun and Pluto that can produce notably important changes within us. As a result, we may believe that we stand in front of a turning point in our lives, that something insignificant will generate a chain reaction that will perhaps open some Pandora’s boxes. It is important to prepare ourselves spiritually for any kind of revelation this controversial aspect may bring.

Mercury conjunct Pluto (Capricorn): the word that changes everything

During or around January 18, the energies of another conjunction with Pluto, namely that of Mercury, are felt. Tensions may increase against this aspect, leading to internal or external manifestations. It is certain that they will find one way or another to vent out and make changes in the way we relate to those next to us. If this makes things between us and them evolve in the right direction, maybe we should not be scared of what is going to happen.

Mercury conjunct Saturn (Capricorn): left without words

During or around January 21, Mercury perfects the same astral aspect, but this time with the other tenant in the sign of Capricorn, Saturn. As a result, it may be that in the days around this date we often remain speechless, it is easier to do things that speak for us and transmit signals than to clearly what we expect from those around us. But this can lead to some confusions, especially if those around us are not necessarily emotionally inclined.

Venus conjunct Jupiter (Sagittarius): spreading the wings toward the new

The next day, Venus is the one who perfects to the same astral aspect with Jupiter in his diurnal domicile. Hence, it may be that we enjoy increased popularity at a social level and in the romance department during or around January 22, and the professional partnerships that are forgedsometime during this period are truly innovative and progressive. It is important, however, not to lose this momentum, but to use it with caution, aware of what it may bring.

Mercury enters Aquarius: topsy turvy ideas

Mercury transits the sign of Aquarius from January 24 onwards, making us focus on progress and collaboration with others, teamwork, common vision, and collective creed. This is likely to give us a few good weeks to work with the others and to lay the foundations for projects that will make the difference. But for that, we have to open ourselves more toward them, because where there is no emotional involvement, we may not rise to our full potential.

Sun conjunct Mercury (Aquarius): in me, there’s a seed that always renews itself

During or around January 29, we may feel the effects of another conjunction, this time between the Sun and Mercury in the sign of Aquarius. As a result, our social lives may follow an ascending curve, we are more likely to open up to new ideas and change something in the way we perceive people and the world around us. Some might think that we are ahead of our time, while others might think that we are just trying to shock, so it is important to do act wisely.

As it is clear from the paragraphs above, January is likely to be month in which we oscillate between the desire to maintain the present state of affairs and the desire to push our boundaries far beyond the limits of the conventional or those we have already grown used to. However, we should be aware of our limits and try not to run after changes where there is no need for them.
