January Horoscopes
by Valerie Mesa
Happy new year! This is your clean slate, compliments of the cosmos. Oh, and if you’re feeling those “new year, new me” vibes, it’s not just your imagination. Aggressive Mars, planet of energy and sex, is now traveling through warrior-like Aries, which also happens to be its sign of rulership. FINALLY. This transit is giving us that much-needed burst of energy, after more than a month swimming through the dreamy sign of Pisces. So, if you’ve been feeling ambiguous with your decisions, generally restless or perhaps low on energy, Mars in Aries is here to help you level up, and it arrived just in time for the new year. Now, aside from this complimentary cosmic red bull, there’s a whole lot happening in the sky this month, and it makes sense, considering we’re in the midst of Capricorn season. Speaking of which, there will be a new moon (partial solar eclipse) in Capricorn on Jan. 5, which also happens to be the second of the Cancer-Capricorn eclipse series, as the first took place on July 12.
On another note, however, there will also be a full moon (total lunar eclipse) in Leo on Jan. 21, which also happens to be the last of the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series, that began in August 2016. So, before I discuss the spirituality behind Cancer-Capricorn, take a moment to reflect on all that you’ve accomplished, in regards to your creativity and unique individuality, since August 2016. This is a culmination for us all, and it’s important to acknowledge your magical eclipse journey. Overall, the energy of Leo-Aquarius helped us tap into our inner child and individual light, in order to share it with the masses. If you really think about it, a lot of people experienced creative breakthroughs this year, before fearlessly sharing them with the rest of the world. In fact, Aquarius rules technology, and Instagram is a perfect example of this. Over the past two years, social media has become a plethora of artistic expression, and creative collaborations. Social networks are booming with talent, wisdom, art, and unique talent.
Now, the energy of Cancer-Capricorn is a bit different, but not any less important. This is often referred to as the access of security (Cancer) and structure (Capricorn). The energy of Cancer yearns for nourishment, and emotional security, while Capricorn strives for ambition, and self-mastery. That being said, how have you been nurturing yourself in the past six months? What have you changed in your external world, in order to comfort your inner world? The upcoming solar eclipse in Capricorn will be extra potent, as it will conjunct its planetary ruler Saturn, and align with Pluto and the south node. This is definitely intense, and with the south node present, we are being asked to release karmic energies that no longer serve us. This is the first new moon eclipse of the year, but its aspects will affect us long term. This is your cosmic quest to self-mastery. Reflect on the following: Are you being realistic with your goals? Are you being patient with yourself? Or are you pushing yourself too hard? How committed are you? Saturn is often referred to as the Lord of Karma, and this is chance to really put in the work, in order to see results.
Don’t rush the process. Stay focused.

ARIES
Are you ready for blast off? Great news, Aries: 2019 is here and your ruling planet Mars is back in your sign until mid-February. The majority of you have been struggling with low energy and restlessness, but with the red-hot planet back in your sign, you’re officially ready for battle. Think of it this way: the planet of energy, who also happens to be your planetary ruler, will be working at its full potential this month. You will be on fire, and there’s really no other way to put it. FYI: this is fabulous energy to start something new, or perhaps work on something that requires lots of stamina. Talk about starting the new year with a bang, eh? On another note, there will be a new moon solar eclipse in Capricorn, and your structured tenth house of career, reputation, and authority figures, on Jan. 5. Remember, a solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the sun and the earth, blocking or “eclipsing” the sun’s light, forcing us to explore unfamiliar territories and consider new options. Solar eclipses represent new beginnings, and despite the fear that comes with change, the universe knows what's best for you. Nevertheless, this potent solar eclipse will shake up your career sector, and for some of you, this could also include a parental figure. Moreover, for those of you who are unhappy with your current profession, this eclipse could spark some much-needed changes, that could bring long-term results. Remember, this part of your chart represents your life mission, and destiny in the world. So, reflect on the following, Aries: Are you being realistic with your goals? How committed are you to achieving success? Have you been preparing for the future? Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, and the South Node will be involved in this cosmic masterpiece, but in true Saturnian fashion, it’s important to put in the work, in order to see results. This is the first new moon eclipse of the year, and your journey to self mastery. Granted, you’re not the most impatient in the zodiac, but it’s time you learn the meaning of quality over quantity. Meaning, don’t even bother rushing through it; take your time. Mercury the messenger will be traveling through this area of your chart, and this is great for studying, paperwork, and general communication with your superiors, and in the workplace. Furthermore, electric Uranus concludes its retrograde cycle in your sign the following day, and it won’t be back for another 84 years, after it enters Taurus in March. Just thought I’d let you know, considering this is a pretty big deal. There’s more. Gorgeous Venus leaves smoldering Scorpio on Jan. 7, as it will slide into adventurous Sagittarius, and your ninth house of higher learning, and personal philosophy. Long distance love affair? Anything’s possible when the goddess of love is around, and with Jupiter close by, it’s going to be fireworks. This is a beautiful aspect for those of you looking to expand your horizons, and deepen your spiritual path. This wanderess-like energy is great for traveling, studying, and exploring different cultures, too. The sun enters Aquarius, energizing and revitalizing your eleventh house of friendships and extended network, on Jan. 20. Time to tap into your inner rebel? One thing’s for sure: you will be socializing, networking, and spreading the word on all that you’ve learned this past month. Who knows? Maybe you’ll cross paths with a new team, or tribe. Mercury joins this area of your chart on Jan. 24, so there will definitely be some conversations swirling, and perhaps some contracts to be signed. Last but certainly not least, there will be a total lunar eclipse in Leo, and your expressive fifth house of romance and creativity, on Jan. 21. This is the last of the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series, as they began back in August 2016. Speaking of which, what did you learn about your individual truth, and soul color, since then? Did you have fun? Were you greeted with children, or child-like energies? How are you sharing your creative gifts with your extended community? This is the grand finale of your colorful eclipse journey. Soak it all in, Aries.
TAURUS
How’s it going, Taurus? With the sun energizing your expansive ninth house of travel, higher learning, and personal philosophy, you’re suddenly craving spontaneous adventures, and faraway journeys. As long as you fly first class, right? Anyway, aggressive Mars is now in its sign of rulership, (Aries) and your twelfth house of karma, rest, and behind-the-scenes work. Sadly, this isn’t always the easiest of transits, as it tends to bring restlessness, passive-aggressiveness, and repercussions for your actions. Although, maybe some of you have nothing to worry about...or not? OK, I’m kidding, but on a brighter note, this could be a good time for you to spend in solitude, and perhaps get some shut-eye, Taurus love. You and I both know the past couple of months were mentally exhausting, to say the very least. Fact is, it doesn’t hurt to take some much-needed time for yourself every once in a while, right? Besides, once Mars enters your sign, you’ll be ready to go. Moreover, there will be a new moon solar eclipse in Capricorn, and your larger-than-life ninth house of expansion, and personal philosophy, on Jan. 5. FYI: a solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the sun and the earth, blocking the sun’s light, forcing us to explore unfamiliar territories and consider new options. Solar eclipses represent new beginnings, and despite the fear that comes with change, (because we all know you absolutely hate it) the universe always knows best. This potent solar eclipse will shake up your knowledge-driven and opportunistic ninth house, bringing new beginnings to your entrepreneurial side, and general philosophy. So, reflect on the following, Taurus: Are you being realistic with your objectives? Are you willing to relocate, or perhaps go back to school, if it will bring you closer to your success? How committed are you? Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, and the South Node will be involved in this celestial phenomenon, but in typical Capricorn fashion, you won’t see results, unless you put in the work. However, this is the first new moon eclipse of the year, and your journey to self mastery. Granted, you’re not big on venturing into unknown territory, but you gotta do what you gotta do, right? Don’t even think about taking the easy way out, Taurus. Something else, this celestial event can spark new publishing opportunities, for those of you working in journalism. Mercury the messenger will be traveling through this area of your chart; hence this is great for learning, traveling, and looking at the bigger picture in general. Don’t let this energy go to waste. On Jan. 7, charming Venus, your ruling planet, leaves secretive Scorpio, and slides into wordly Sagittarius, and your witchy eighth house of sex, and surrender. For the record, Jupiter is here, so this will only magnify your Venus in Sagittarius experience. Taking a walk on the wild side much? This is totally hot and steamy, but Jupiter likes things in excess, so try not to go overboard, if you know what I mean. On a brighter note, however, you could suddenly run into some inheritance money, or perhaps a financial reward through a family member, or partnership. Long story short: this means money. The sun enters Aquarius, energizing and revitalizing and illuminating your tenth house of career, and destiny in the world, on Jan. 20. Shine bright like a diamond, Taurus. Your inner rebel is ready for its big debut, and the whole world will be watching. You have a vision, and no one’s getting in the way of your success. Mercury the messenger joins this area of your chart on Jan. 24, chances are, you will be having conversations with authority figures, or your superiors in the workplace. You have a vision, and it’s time to make it a reality, Taurus. There will be a total lunar eclipse in Leo, and your fourth house of home, family, and emotional foundation, on Jan. 21. This is the last of the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series, as they began back in August 2016. Speaking of which, what did you learn about your individual truth, and soul color, since then? How are you sharing your creative gifts with the rest of the world? This is the final chapter of your sparkly eclipse story. Whether you change residences, or experience an emotional breakthrough, never forget your eclipse journey. This was all you, Taurus.
GEMINI
Bonjour, Gemini babe. Despite the fact that it’s a brand new year, you’re also feeling all sorts of changes brewing within you, and all around you. (Just so you know, your gut feeling is right.) With the sun shedding its light over your eighth house of sex, transformation, and other people’s money, this is a great time to rid yourself of habits that no longer serve you. For instance, toxic situations, debt, emotional burdens, etc. In fact, Saturn, Pluto, and the South Node, are all traveling through this area of your chart, which is also why you’ve been coming face-to-face with things that leave you no choice but to surrender. Speaking of which, there will be a new moon solar eclipse in Capricorn, highlighting this area of your chart, on Jan. 5. Remember, a solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the sun and the earth, blocking or “eclipsing” the sun’s light, forcing us to explore unfamiliar territories and consider new options. Solar eclipses represent new beginnings, and despite the fear that comes with change, the universe always has your back. Nevertheless, this potent solar eclipse will shake up your intimacy zone and for some of you, this could also include someone else’s money. Are you committed to your evolution process? Are you doing what it takes to change your ways? This is your cosmic quest to self-mastery, Gemini. No one said it was going to be easy. Do yourself a favor, and don’t let this energy go to waste, as this could bring you long-term results. Before I forget, your ruling planet Mercury will also be in this area of your chart, so subliminal messaging, and reading between the lines, will be a prominent theme for you. In fact, some of you might experience an emotional breakthrough with a sibling during this time. Remember, this is all part of the process. Surrender. Release. Start again. On a another note, aggressive Mars is now in Aries, and your eleventh house of friendships circles, tribe, and extended network. This is totally your scene, Gemini. After all, you are the social butterfly of the zodiac, right? Nevertheless, this red-hot transit is bringing you a much-needed energy boost, and rest assured, you’ll be back to your old ways. For instance, socializing, coordinating, organizing, etc. Moreover, gorgeous Venus slides into Sagittarius, and your seventh house of relationships and partnerships, on Jan. 7, and while many of you prefer flying solo, this irresistible transit could bring harmony to your existing relationships, and spark charming new connections. For those of you in committed relationships, you’ll find yourself more attracted to your SO, while single Gems might suddenly crave one-on-one contact. Not that I have to remind you, but don’t rush into anything you might regret later, Gemini. Enjoy this moment, but make sure you take it day by day. Jupiter, planet of expansion, is also traveling through this area of your chart, which will only magnify the process. Meaning, you could be feeling this energy in excess. FYI: this transit also brings open enemies, so trust your instincts, Gemini. The sun enters rebellious Aquarius, and your expansive ninth house, on Jan. 20. This opportunity-filled transit will energize and revitalize the area of your chart related to travel, higher learning, and personal philosophy. This is a great time to plan a trip somewhere faraway, or perhaps learn something new. Although, in the midst of this “bigger picture” approach, you could lose touch with mundane tasks, and minor details from your day-to-day. Curious Mercury joins the sun on Jan. 24, which can help put things into perspective for you. In fact, some of you will be partaking in philosophical conversations, and expanding your horizons in general. Lastly, there will be a total lunar eclipse in Leo, and your chatty third house of siblings, thought process, and immediate community, on Jan. 21. This is the last of the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series, as they began back in August 2016. On that note, what have you learned about speaking your individual truth? How are you sharing your creative gifts with the rest of the world? This is the final chapter of your magical eclipse journey. Congratulations, Gemini.
CANCER
Cheers to a magical new year, Cancer babe. With the north node traveling through your sign, your family, sense of security, and emotional foundation have been top of mind. Speaking of which, there will be a new moon (partial solar eclipse) in Capricorn, and your seventh house of partnerships on Jan. 5, which also happens to be the second of the Cancer-Capricorn eclipse series, as the first took place in your sign, on July 12. With that being said, how have you been tending to your emotional health, and nurturing your inner world, throughout the past six months? The reason I ask is because the upcoming eclipse will bring new beginnings to your partnership zone, and area of general acquaintances. Saturn is a ruthless teacher, and just so you know, a prominent theme for you right now is boundaries. Remember, a solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the sun and the earth, blocking the sun’s light, forcing us to explore unfamiliar territories and consider new options. Solar eclipses represent new beginnings, and for you, these new beginnings can really either make or break your relationships. However, I can’t lie to you. I see a lot of you really solidifying your current relationships, so don’t be surprised if you suddenly decide to tie the knot, or run off somewhere with your boo thang. On the dark side, however, not everyone will make the cut, but you need to trust the process. The universe has your back, Cancer babe. Before I forget, Mercury the messenger will also be traveling through this area of your chart, and well, the conversations you’ll be having will be cut-throat, serious, and straight to the point. Reflect on the following, in regards to your relationships: how committed are you? Are you getting what you give, and vise versa? Get ready, because this is a theme for 2019. On another note, however, Mars will already be traveling through warrior-like Aries, and your ambitious tenth house of career, and reputation in the world. Lights. Camera. Action. Are you ready for your big debut? Fact is, you’ve got your boss babe hat on, and this red-hot transit is stimulating your desire to be recognized. So, if you’re looking for a new job, or perhaps trying to make a good impression on your superiors, rest assured, the cosmos are on your side. However, in the midst of your cosmic high of CEO-dreams, you might also run into a few misunderstandings, or conflicts, with people in authority. Take it easy, Cancer. No need to go rogue on the higher ups. Speaking of work, work, work, charming Venus leaves smoldering Scorpio, and slides into Sagittarius on Jan. 7. This harmonious energy flow will touch your responsible sixth house of routine, and day-to-day activities. Meaning, you’re finally doing something you love everyday, and if you’re working on your fitness, even better! The goddess of love is here to make things easier, and more attractive. Not too shabby, huh? Some of you might enjoy working outdoors, or going for hikes during this time, especially if you’re looking for that freedom in your work routine. The sun enters rebellious Aquarius, and your shady eighth house of sex, and intimate unions, on Jan. 20. This transit can bring transformation, sexual encounters, and for some, important life lessons. Nevertheless, this is a good time for budgeting, releasing negativity, and merging with another’s mind, body, and soul. Lastly, there will be a total lunar eclipse in Leo, and your second house of income, values, and self-worth, on Jan. 21. This is the last of the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series, as they began back in August 2016. On that note, what’s different about your self-esteem? How have you been owning your self-worth? This is the final chapter of your Leo-Aquarius eclipse journey. Pat yourself on the back, Cancer.
LEO
Happy New Year! Busy much? With the sun traveling through your responsible sixth house of routine, order, and day-to-day life, you’re really taking pride in all of your hard work, and getting organized. However, some of you are also stressing, and probably getting way too caught up on the details - take it easy, Leo. Speaking of daily routine, there will be a new moon (partial solar eclipse) in Capricorn, highlighting this area of your chart, on Jan. 5. FYI: a solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the sun and the earth, blocking or “eclipsing” the sun’s light, forcing us to explore unfamiliar territories and consider new options. Solar eclipses represent new beginnings, and despite the fear that comes with change, we need to trust the process, and know that we are divine beings. Nevertheless, this potent solar eclipse will shake up your current routine, health habits, and for some of you, your general state of mind. Are you committed to a healthy lifestyle? Are you doing what it takes to change your ways? This is your quest to self-mastery, Leo. It’s time to live your best life, but you’re going to need to work for it. BTW, when I say work for it, I’m not only referring to your job performance, I’m also talking about your mental health, and general mindfulness. For instance, if you’re someone who’s always thinking of the worst possible scenarios, perhaps it’s time you start looking on the bright side. I mean...if you’re eating unhealthy, and smoking a pack of cigarettes everyday...you catch my drift, Leo? Take care of you. For the record, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, and the South Node will be involved in this cosmic masterpiece, but in true Saturnian fashion, it’s important to put in the work, in order to see results. This is the first new moon eclipse of the year, and your journey to ascension. No pressure, right? Take your time; don’t rush the process. Mercury the messenger will also be traveling through this area of your chart, so there could be a number of things on your mind. Luckily for you, this is also a great time for sorting out the details, and making life easier in general. Remember, whatever intentions you set during this cosmic plethora of all things Capricorn, can bring you solid goodness, and long-term results. On Jan. 7, gorgeous Venus leaves smoldering Scorpio, and slides into Sagittarius. This venusian elixir will add charm to your expressive fifth house of romance, creativity, and children. Bow chicka wow wow. This is oh-so-saucy, and what’s even better is, Jupiter will be here, too. Mind you, this will only magnify the process, as Jupiter is the planet of abundance, and expansion. Now, there’s a good and a bad side to everything, and Venus-Jupiter tends to be a bit excessive. Meaning, you might want to stop yourself in your tracks from time to time, and ask yourself how much is too much? You know? No one is telling you not to have fun, on the contrary. I am simply reminding you to be mindful of all that you’re indulging in. Don’t over do it, Leo babe. The sun enters rebellious Aquarius, and your seventh house of partnerships, on Jan. 20. This will energize and revitalize your relationship zone, and highlight the me vs. we factor for you. Although, some of you will also be feeling extra smitten with your significant other, and with the idea of social interactions in general. You and your boo thang could use some alone time, don’t you think? Lastly, there will be a total eclipse of the heart (and in your sign) on Jan. 21. In case you’re wondering, this is the last of the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series, as they began back in August 2016. Speaking of, what have you learned about your individuality since? How are you sharing your creative gifts and child-like passion with your partner, and the rest of the world? Are you happy? This is the final chapter of your royal eclipse journey. So mote it be, Leo.
VIRGO
Shine bright like a diamond, Virgo. Admit it. You thrive during Capricorn season. You’re feeling yourself, and you’re not just imagining it either. Your Saturnian extra posh swag is over-the-top, and you can thank the sun for shedding its light over your expressive fifth house of creativity, romance, and individual truth. You better work, Virgo babe. Speaking of Capricorn, there will be a new moon (partial solar eclipse) in the same sign, shaking up this area of your chart, on Jan. 5. FYI: a solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the sun and the earth, blocking the sun’s light, forcing us to explore unfamiliar territories and surrender to new options. Solar eclipses bring new beginnings, and despite the anxiety or uncertainty that comes with change, these powerful lunations are solely bringing you closer to your soul’s truth. Moreover, this potent solar eclipse will shake up your passion zone, and for some, this could also bring children, or childlike energies. Now, before you panic, know this: yes, if you are looking to have children, pregnancy is definitely possible. However, a creative project can also be something you conceive, or give birth to. This is a fertile time for you, Virgo, and this eclipse could spark changes, that could ultimately bring you long-term results. In the meantime, reflect on the following: Are you being realistic with your passion projects? How committed are you to achieving recognition? Are you preparing for the future? Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, and the South Node will be involved in this cosmic masterpiece, but in true Saturnian fashion, it’s important that we put in the work, in order to see results. This is the first new moon eclipse of the year, and your journey to self mastery. Mercury the messenger will also be traveling through this area of your chart, so you’ll probably be in the mood for a little mental tennis, and fun-filled conversations. In fact, some of you might feel more attracted to intellectual partners during this time. Also, I know you’re a perfectionist, but don’t be afraid to grab a pen and paper, and write down some of your ideas, OK? You gotta start somewhere, right? On another note, gorgeous Venus will dazzle her way into adventurous Sagittarius, and your cozy fourth house of home, family, and emotional foundation, on Jan. 7. Domestic Virgo? Absolutely. You’ll be as passionate as ever about making your home look beautiful, and trust me, you won’t be able to resist the thought of spending the day in your humble abode. In other words, you won’t hesitate to pull a Karen Smith from Mean Girls, “I can’t go out; (cough cough) I’m sick.” The sun enters rebellious Aquarius, and your practical sixth house of health, responsibility, and routine, on Jan. 20. This will energize and revitalize your day-to-day zone, and habits in general. Funny enough, this is your house of rulership, so you won’t have any issues getting organized. Speaking of details, your ruling planet Mercury will be joining the sun in Aquarius on Jan. 24, so you’ll be mentally prepared for these Virgoan shenanigans. It doesn’t end there. There will be a total lunar eclipse in Leo, and your twelfth house of secrets, behind-the-scenes work, closure, and karma, on Jan. 21. Now, this is the last of the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series, as they began back in August 2016. Speaking of which, what did you learn about your life in the physical world vs. who you are behind closed doors during these last two and a half years? Does your soul truth align with your day-to-day life? Have you been tending to your mind, body, and spirit, Virgo? This is the final chapter of your mystical eclipse journey.
LIBRA
Hiding in your shell much these days, Libra? With the sun in Capricorn traveling through your domestic fourth house of home, family, and emotional foundation, your private sphere and emotional body are top of mind during this time. This is your nesting season, and well, there’s nothing wrong with hiding in your shell for a bit. On another note, there will be a new moon partial solar eclipse in Capricorn, and this area of your chart, on Jan. 5. Remember, a solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the sun and the earth, blocking or “eclipsing” the sun’s light, forcing us to explore unfamiliar territories and consider new options. Solar eclipses represent new beginnings, and despite the fear that comes with change, the universe knows what's best for you. Nevertheless, this potent solar eclipse will shake up your domestic zone, and for some of you, your emotional body. Moreover, for those of you who are unsettled with your current living space, home life, or perhaps a close relative, this eclipse could spark new beginnings, that could bring long-term results. Remember, this part of your chart represents your home life, sense of security, and emotional foundation. So, reflect on the following, Libra: Are you internally fulfilled? Are you tending to your emotional well being? Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, and the South Node will be involved in this cosmic masterpiece, but in true Capricorn fashion, we are being asked to put in the work, in order to see results. This is the first new moon eclipse of the year, and your journey to dependency. Again, take a second to really reflect on what makes you emotionally complete. What needs restructuring internally, before you can share it with the rest of the world? What are you afraid of? What makes you feel safe? You get the picture, Libra. Your ruling planet Venus leaves Scorpio, and slides into worldly Sagittarius on Jan. 7. This irresistible energy will charm your chatty third house of communication, technology, and immediate network. In other words, your conversations will be flowing, and you’ll be as persuasive as ever. For the record, Jupiter will also be traveling through this area of your chart, which will only magnify the process. Get ready, Libra. Your social networks are going to be buzzing! Some of you might also get out there and mingle with your local community. Before I forget, Mars is back in its home sign Aries until Valentine’s Day, and while this energy is great for staying active, and getting this done, you might also run into some heated debates within your current relationships, perhaps your significant other. Granted, there’s nothing you hate more than confrontation, but it happens to the best of us, Libra. The sun enters rebellious Aquarius, and your flirtatious fifth house of creativity, romance, and individual expression, on Jan. 20. This will feel like a breath of fresh air, literally. One, you’re an air sign, so you totally thrive during Aquarius season, and second, this energy will revitalize the area of your chart that rules your fiery passions, and inner child. Generally, this is a great time to tap into your creativity, so don’t let this go to waste, Libra. After all, you are the queen of all things gorge, right? Last but certainly not least, there will be a total lunar eclipse in Leo, and eleventh house of friendships, teams, and extended community, on Jan. 21. FYI: this is the last of the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series, as they began back in August 2016. Speaking of which, what did you learn about your creative expression, and unique individuality, during these last two and a half years? Are you being completely authentic with your tribe? This is the final chapter of your journey to self, Libra. Remember, being you is all you need to do.
SCORPIO
Hi, Scorpio love. Gossiping much? Look, all I’m going to say is, be careful what you say, and to whom, OK? Nevertheless, with the sun traveling through your chatty third house of communication, thought process, and immediate community, you’re as curious as ever, exploring and putting all sorts of puzzle pieces together. (Your favorite.) Granted, I know you’re the lone wolf of the zodiac, but this is a time for siblings, co-workers, and close relatives. Funny enough, this area of your chart also rules technology; meaning, social media is definitely included. Speaking of which, there will be a new moon (partial solar eclipse) in Capricorn, shaking up this area of your chart, on Jan. 5. FYI: a solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the sun and the earth, blocking the sun’s light, forcing us to explore unfamiliar territories and surrender to new options. Solar eclipses bring new beginnings, and despite the anxiety or uncertainty that comes with change, these powerful lunations are solely bringing you closer to your soul’s truth. Moreover, this potent solar eclipse will shake up your communication sector, and for some, this could also bring learning, and teaching. For the record, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, and the South Node will be involved in this cosmic masterpiece, but in true Saturnian fashion, it’s important that we put in the work, in order to see results. With that said, are you committed to your current schedule? Are you doing what it takes to produce and/or obtain information? How are you managing your time? Listen up, Scorpio: this is the first eclipse of the year, and your journey to self mastery. If you’re smart, you’ll take full advantage of this new moon energy. On that note, I think some of you are realizing that your overall vision, isn’t necessarily in touch with your current reality. Make sense? Perhaps some of you are focused on something specific, and for whatever reason, you’re noticing that it’s still not exactly what you’re looking for. Still haven’t found what you’re looking for, Scorpio? You’re almost there. Mercury will also be traveling through this area of your chart, so there will be e-mails, lists, and general conversations swirling. Some of you might also sign contracts, and perhaps set some minor details in stone. Moreover, charming Venus leaves your sign, and slides into adventurous Sagittarius, and your second house of income, values, and self worth on Jan. 7. Cha-chinggggggg! This gorgeous energy will sprinkle its charms over your money zone, and ignite your sensual desires. In other words, you’ll be craving the more finer things in life, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, Scorpio dear. You’re going to be feeling a bit adventurous with your finances, but make sure you don’t overdo it on the splurging. (You’ll regret it later.) On another note, the sun enters eccentric Aquarius, and your fourth house of home and emotional foundation, on Jan. 20. Meaning, your “nesting season” will commence towards the second half of January. Time to get cozy, Scorpio babe. Granted, there’s nothing cozy about Aquarius energy, (not even close) but this sign just so happens to rule your domestic zone. Nevertheless, this is a good time for you to work on your inner world, literally and emotionally speaking. Your emotional well being, comfort, and family will be top of mind during this time. In fact, some of you might even consider re-organizing your humble abode. It’s 2019...don’t hang onto the things that no longer serve you, Scorpio. It doesn’t end there. There will be a total lunar eclipse in Leo, and your tenth house of career, and reputation in the world, on Jan. 21. Just so you know, this is the last of the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series, as they began back in August 2016. On that note, take a moment to reflect on the following: what’s changed in regards to your career in the last two and a half years? Is your inner world (emotions, family, household) and external world (profession, life mission) aligned? Some of you are finally sharing your beautiful eccentricities and individual truth with the rest of the world, and I couldn’t be more proud. This is just the beginning, Scorpio.
SAGITTARIUS
Can I have your autograph, Sagittarius? Fact is, you’re the celestial fave this year, considering your ruling planet Jupiter is back in your sign until December 2019. Mind you, I’ve said this a thousand times before, but it’s worth saying again, and again. Not only is Jupiter the planet of luck, expansion, and opportunity, it’s also your ruling planet, which makes this 13-month-long transit that much more special. A planet naturally works better when in its sign of rulership, so I guess you could say, you’re getting all the cosmic goods this year. However, in the midst of your high-on-life Jupiter adventure, make sure you don’t get too carried away. Your sign is notorious for doing things in excess, and you can’t deny the facts. So, enjoy yourself, and make the best of it, but stay grounded, Sagittarius love. Moreover, with the sun in Capricorn traveling through your second house of values, income, and self-worth, your finances and sensual pleasures will be top of mind. You’re pretty smart with your money, but some of you are re-evaluating everything related to your spending habits, resources, and possessions during this time, but that’s not all, There will be a new moon partial solar eclipse in Capricorn, and this area of your chart, on Jan. 5. Remember, a solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the sun and the earth, blocking or “eclipsing” the sun’s light, forcing us to explore unfamiliar territories and consider new options. Also, solar eclipses represent new beginnings, and despite the fear that comes with change, we have to remember that the universe always has our back. Nevertheless, this potent solar eclipse will shake up your money zone, and for some of you, your self-esteem in general. BTW, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, and the South Node will be involved in this celestial phenomenon, but in true Saturnian fashion, it’s important that we put in the work, in order to see results. On that note, are you being realistic with your finances? Have you been owning up to your self-worth, and really taking yourself seriously? You get what you give, Sagittarius. Just so you know, this is the first eclipse of the year, and your journey to self mastery. Also, this new moon energy could bring you solid results, but this isn’t going to happen overnight, so you best get to work. Furthermore, Mercury the messenger will also be traveling through this area of your chart, which means you might have related conversations, or perhaps come across some financial paperwork. Be realistic with yourself, and know your worth, Sagittarius. Good news: gorgeous Venus leaves Scorpio, and slides into your sign on Jan. 7. This charming energy will dazzle your sign, and well, your charisma will be on fire. Venus is coquettish, flirtatious, and obsessed with beauty, so don’t be surprised if you suddenly get the urge to splurge. It doesn’t end there, and I’m already laughing to myself just thinking about it. Remember how I said that Jupiter was traveling through your sign, bringing you abundance and expansion? Well...Venus is joining Jupiter...and all I’m going to say is, WOW. Talk about starting the year off with a bang! Venus = love, beauty, indulging in the pleasures of life, charm + Jupiter = luck, opportunity, expansion, opportunity. YOU DO THE MATH. (Insert massive heart eyes emoji here.) Moreover, the sun enters rebellious Aquarius, and your chatty third house of communication and immediate community, on Jan. 20. You’re a social butterfly by nature, but you’ll be in the mood to schmooze, gossip, and mingle with your peers. This area of your chart also rules technology, so your social media will be top of mind during this time as well. Lastly, there will be a total lunar eclipse in Leo, and your expansive ninth house of travel, high learning, and personal philosophy on Jan. 21. This is the last of the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series, as they began back in August 2016, and I can’t help but wonder, what’s different about you? What’s changed about your “bigger picture” and life panorama? This is the final chapter of your Leo-Aquarius eclipse journey, and all I’m going to say is, wow. You did it. You’re here. You’re free. I’m so glad you listened to your heart, Sagittarius.
CAPRICORN
Happy solar return, you mystical goat, you! Oh, Capricorn. You’re such a badass. I really mean that. Also, January’s horoscope is not a pity party, on the contrary. I am simply celebrating your strength, and courage, because it is truly admirable. Speaking of strength, you’ve got a lot going on and if you’re feeling overwhelmed, confused, or concerned with your current situation, just know, this too shall pass. For the record, I know how much you love the facts, and guess what? I have actual proof as to why things have been extra challenging for you. For starters, your ruling planet Saturn has been back in your sign for over a year now, and that in itself always a bit challenging. However, that is the point isn’t it? You like doing things the right way or not at all, and this is all thanks to your structured planetary ruler, of course. Now, some of you have come face-to-face with a few challenges this past year, but nothing you can’t fix right? At the end of the day, it’s not a problem if there’s a solution, Capricorn. I wanted to point that out, as the sun is now in your sign, shedding light on all that you’ve been working on, (or haven’t started working on) and well, despite the pressure you might be feeling, Saturn is here to remind you that you reap what you sow, Capricorn dear. Speaking of which, there will be a new moon (partial solar eclipse) in your sign on Jan. 5. FYI: a solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the sun and the earth, blocking the sun’s light, forcing us to explore unfamiliar territories and surrender to new options. Solar eclipses bring new beginnings, but it’s really up to us to make them a reality. Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, and the South Node will be involved, as three of these celestial bodies are already huddled up in your sign. See? I told you I had proof. Saturn, Pluto, and the South Node? That is no joke, Capricorn. You’re growing, restructuring, and releasing all that no longer serves you. Like I said, that’s never easy, but everything is perspective, right? You’ve got this - I know you do. On that note, this eclipse will shake up everything related to your sense of self, and “I am” factor. Some of you are already experiencing the “I vs. we,” reflecting on the way you integrate yourself into the lives of others, and vise versa. However, the majority of you are doing some internal work, so let’s take a minute to reflect on the following: how have you been managing your time? Are you being realistic with your goals? How committed are you? Are you even committed at all? Think about this in regards to your personal goals, one-on-one relationships, and most importantly, the relationship you have with yourself. On another note, Venus, planet of love, beauty, and relationships, enters Sagittarius, and your secretive twelfth house of closure, karma, and behind-the-scenes work, on Jan. 7. Now, Jupiter has been traveling through this area of your chart for a while now, and I know some of you have really been craving solitude, and perhaps tapping into your dream world. For the record, I’m all for it. It’s about time you start listening to your intuition, Capricorn. I mean, it’s there for a reason, right? Anyway, back to Venus. The planet of love will be joining Jupiter in your fantasy-filled twelfth house, and subconscious world. This is magical energy, and some of you might be feeling a lot more compassionate than usual, too. However, make sure you pay attention to your dreams, because you will be receiving a number of universal downloads during this time. On another note, however, single goats might suddenly run into their soul mate, or long lost love. This transit is deeply spiritual. On Jan. 20, the sun will leave your sign and enter rebellious Aquarius, and your second house of income, values, and self worth. This will definitely change up the vibes, and if for whatever reason you’ve been feeling stagnant, or stressed, this energy will remind you of your worth, and general resources. Last but not least, there will be a total lunar eclipse in Leo, and your eighth house of sex, transformation, and shared resources on Jan. 21. This is the last of the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series, as they began back in August 2016, and I can’t help but wonder, what’s different about your values? How has your spirit evolved within the last two and a half years? This is the final chapter of your Leo-Aquarius eclipse journey, and all I’m going to say is, this is what happens when you trust the process. This was all you, Capricorn.
AQUARIUS
Are you there, Aquarius? Is that really you? I know it’s hard seeing things clearly these days, especially with all the fog. Still wearing those rose-colored glasses? Listen, Aquarius: you’ve been dealing with some karmic stuff, and you’re not alone, because it happens to the best of us. On that note, many of you have been running into people from past lives, and if you don’t know, now you know, OK? Nothing is coincidence. Sometimes you feel things out of the blue, and can’t explain why, but that’s only because it’s happened to you before. (Yes, deja vu is real.) With that said, why do you think it’s happening again? Perhaps there’s some unfinished business, or who knows, you might actually need a little refresher. OK, I’m done lecturing you, but it’s not my fault you’re so stubborn. With the sun in Capricorn energizing and revitalizing your secretive twelfth house of dreams, karma, and behind-the-scenes work, some of you are feeling as though you’re not completely in touch with reality, while others are just exhausted, both physically and mentally. Whatever the case may be, just know, this too shall pass. Capricorn season feels a bit strange, but it’s only because you’re in between worlds, preparing for your solar return, aka birthday season. Speaking of Capricorn, there will be a new moon (partial solar eclipse) in Capricorn, shaking up this area of your chart, on Jan. 5. FYI: a solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the sun and the earth, blocking the sun’s light, forcing us to explore unfamiliar territories and surrender to new options. Solar eclipses bring new beginnings, and despite the anxiety or uncertainty that comes with change, these powerful lunations are solely bringing you closer to your soul’s truth. Moreover, this potent solar eclipse will shake up your karmic sphere, and for some, this could also bring spirituality, and general closure. For the record, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, and the South Node will be involved in this cosmic masterpiece, but in true Saturnian fashion, it’s important that we put in the work, in order to see results. With that being said, this is a time for you to surrender, and really trust the universe. Which part of you in the physical world is no longer aligned with your spirit? Are you resisting change? Listen, Aquarius: no one said this was going to be easy, but I will remind you, this is the first eclipse of the year, and your journey to self. You know what to do, and I’m being sincere when I say that I want what’s best for you. Do the work, and rest assured, you will reap the benefits. Moreover, your ruling planet Uranus goes direct on Jan. 6, and well, no one likes to be retrograde, right? On another note, however, gorgeous Venus enters Sagittarius, and your eleventh house of groups, teamwork, and extended community on Jan. 7. For the record, this is totally your scene, Aquarius. This area of your chart belongs to your sign, and in typical Aquarian fashion, you’ll be ready to shmooze, mingle, and network with interesting people. In fact, knowing you, you’ll be more than ready to let your freak flag fly. Feeling rebellious much? This is all you. Guess what? The sun enters your stellar sign on Jan. 20, which means it’s time to celebrate another trip around the sun. Yay! Are you ready to party, Aquarius? The best part is, you won’t be feeling that sleepy Capricorn season haze any longer. Oh, and Mercury will join the sun in your sign on Jan. 24, so if you think you’re a witty conversationalist now, just wait until the messenger planet makes its annual pit stop over your sign. Let the intellectually-stimulating banter begin! You always have something to say, and well, the floor is yours, as per the cosmos. Last but not least, there will be a total lunar eclipse in Leo, and your seventh house of partnerships, and relationships, on Jan. 21. This is the last of the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series, as they began back in August 2016, and I can’t help but wonder, what’s different about your current partnerships? How have they evolved within the last two and a half years? This is the final chapter of your Leo-Aquarius eclipse journey, and all I’m going to say is, you’re almost there. You can do this, Aquarius.
PISCES
Look at you go, Pisces! Can I just say one thing? I am so so so proud of you for finally taking a risk, and doing what you love most in this world. Just so you know, this is only the beginning, so you can’t stop now, OK? Anyway, let’s get right into it. With the sun in Capricorn traveling through your eleventh house of teams, tribes, and extended community, you’re totally preoccupied with being friend and colleague of the year, and I don’t blame you. Make those connections, and make sure you nurture them, Pisces. Big things are coming, and I know you can feel it, too.

This potent solar eclipse will shake up your friendship zone, and for some, this could also bring new groups of people, and perhaps an exclusive membership. New job, new tribe, right? For the record, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, and the South Node will be involved in this cosmic plethora of energy, but in true Saturnian fashion, it’s important that we put in the work, in order to see results. With that being said, this is a time for you to step outside of your comfort zone, and lets yourself be recognized for your eccentricities, and gifts. (Oh, Pisces. It’s about time you know how special you are.) On that note, let’s reflect on the following: are you doing everything it takes to break free from the routine? How are you sharing your true colors with the rest of the world? BE AUTHENTIC. TAP INTO YOUR INNER GENIUS. BE YOU. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!!! Just so you know, Saturn will conjunct this eclipse, which means this could also bring you long-term results. Be smart, Pisces. You know what to do. Furthermore, gorgeous Venus enters Sagittarius, and your ambitious tenth house of career, and destiny in the world, on Jan. 7. Are you ready for your big debut? I’m not even kidding.

Now, if neither of these pertain to you, know this: your social media pages will be irresistibly charming. In other words, save those jaw-dropping thirst traps for Jan. 7 through Feb. 3. Your admirers will be watching from afar, and well, your virtual charisma will be on point, all thanks to Venus, of course. On another note, the sun slides in Aquarius, and your secretive twelfth house of closure, karma, and behind-the-scenes work on Jan. 20.
