Are you ready to kickstart the new year with a bang? Brace yourself for an exciting and motivating month ahead. Capricorn season is here, urging you to make resolutions and actually follow through with them. With the sun in Capricorn, you'll tackle new responsibilities with grace and elegance. And to add to the excitement, the sun will align with innovative Uranus on January 5, creating the perfect time to embrace change and explore new opportunities.
However, before you dive headfirst into the new year, be aware of a minor hiccup. Mars has been in retrograde since October 2022, and Mercury joined the retrograde party on December 29. If you've been experiencing delays in your deliveries or struggling with unexplained anger, blame it on Mr. Messenger and Mr. Mad. But fret not, as on January 18, both Mercury and Mars will go direct, bringing a much-needed sense of relief.

Embrace Change and Take the Lead
Throughout January, Jupiter will be shining its light in the confident fire sign of Aries. This powerful alignment encourages you to embrace your inner fool, take calculated risks, and create your own opportunities. Don't wait for permission; step up and lead that project you've been dreaming about. With Venus in Aquarius forming a harmonious sextile with Jupiter, positive vibes and good fortune will surround you.
Aquarius season arrives on January 20, ushering in a time of breaking free from societal norms. Dare to go outside your comfort zone and engage with people who have different perspectives. Expand your mind and challenge your beliefs.

Connect and Nurture Your Relationships
On January 6, the full moon in Cancer will awaken your emotions. Take this opportunity to unwind and reflect on how you're balancing your work and personal life. Draw a warm bath, put on your favorite playlist, and indulge in some self-care. This full moon is the culmination of the intentions you set during the new moon in June 2022. Use this time to assess what has transpired since then and consider any necessary changes.
The new moon in Aquarius arrives on January 21, inviting you to connect with your social circle and community. Take a moment to appreciate the significance of these relationships and envision how they can shape your future. Perhaps it's time to give back or check in on a friend who's been going through a tough time. Consider starting a book club or attending a local event. Set an intention, and you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.
