The year begins with Mercury entering the sign of Capricorn, where it appears more rational, objective and strategic. Nevertheless, in the first days it will remain influenced by Neptune’s square, distorting with deceptions, slips and lack of objectivity. The full Moon in Cancer occurs on the 3rd alongside the powerful and bright star Sirius, refreshing the beneficial conjunction of August between Venus and Jupiter with this star. Located in the Canis Major constellation, it is associated with dogs, which with this moon will be more agitated and sensitive, just as we will be, especially Cancer or Capricorn.
On the 5th we will have the Venus Star Point, that is, the superior conjunction of Venus with the Sun, from that moment the planet begins a new cycle, and it becomes an evening star that, a few days later, we will be able to see in the sky just after sunset. In the sign of Capricorn, this conjunction shifts the focus toward responsible and committed relationships. The social factor and status will carry more weight in bonds, and we will also be able to count on the reliability of commitments and collaborations.
A few days later Mars will also arrive at the conjunction with the Sun, ending one cycle to begin another where the planet is revitalized. It becomes eastern with respect to the Sun and can be seen after a few days a little before dawn. With the New Year these planets also join the new resolutions with renewed energy, offering the push and enthusiasm necessary to carry them out.
On the 17th Venus enters Aquarius after refining good aspects with Saturn and Uranus, the rulers of the sign. Thus, it is preparing to focus relationships with greater freedom and detachment, prioritizing the sense of friendship. On the 18th the New Moon forms in Capricorn, closing a beautiful minor trine with Uranus and Saturn/Neptune in water and earth. These are elements of a prudent or conservative temperament, so the lunation invites us to look to the future and pursue goals with strategy and realism, carefully measuring the steps to take.
Subsequently the Sun, Mercury and Mars will enter Aquarius, and thus all personal planets will gather in this sign along with Pluto, in a quest for greater independence, open to technological and social innovations, and willing to turn the page to move forward. It seems prudent to group together, uniting people with hopes or projects similar to pool forces.
On the 26th Neptune definitively leaves Pisces, where it has moved for the last fourteen years and has been a driver of the rise of digital television platforms, the widespread diffusion of information through videos on the Internet, or the important development and opening of spiritual growth and consciousness. Neptune, which is linked to all these matters, as it moves to Aries can become more belligerent and competitive. The independent and individualistic energy of Aries does not mix well with Neptune which defends the idea that we are all one. To close the month, the conjunction of Mars and Pluto on the 27th is a celestial event of much tension that can generate violence, abuses of power and tensions from the need to control.
ARIES
The strong planetary concentration in Aquarius favors your projects and encourages you to join with others to pool forces, further improving your social interactions. Innovative and advanced ideas awaken in you, which you will want to share with others, but also the need to defend your personal space, moving away from manipulation attempts while seeking your place in the group. The entry of Neptune into your own sign (Sun or Ascendant) implies a creative or spiritual awakening, an increase in sensitivity and a greater attunement to universal forces such as love, compassion and empathy, though also confusion and disappointments. The key is to go with the flow!
TAURUS
This month the personal planets travel through Aquarius, and there will be days that are quite intense and busy at work. It is to be expected that new innovative and interesting projects arise, but you could also feel that pressure and control grow considerably. It seems necessary to catch up on technological issues, pushing forward so you do not get left behind. Neptune’s definitive arrival in Aries can be a great incentive to leave your comfort zone and the fear of lifting your feet off the ground, allowing you to open yourself to new realities and sensations, and letting yourself be inspired by music and art. The lunations of this month activate your curiosity and the possibilities of travel. Open mind to new adventures!
GEMINI
January presents itself as very interesting and stimulating for you with the possibility of traveling to different places, or with the opportunity to learn something new. In any case, it’s about expanding your mind and opening yourself to new experiences and ways of thinking or understanding life. Do not try to persuade others or impose your own views, as it could backfire. Now it is about integrating, adding and uniting forces. The Moons this month invite you to review and organize your finances and material matters, letting go of ballast and canceling debts or pending issues. With Neptune entering Aries there could begin a period of disappointments or misunderstandings with some friends. Make room in your life for new friendships!
CANCER
The full Moon this month forms in your own sign (Sun or Ascendant) and, besides bathing you in its light, allowing you to shine through your sensitivity, empathy and personal warmth, it encourages you to clarify points of friction with your partner or colleagues. Neptune moves to Aries and opens a period of confusion or doubts regarding work, though it can also redirect you toward more artistic activities or those focused on caring and helping others. The powerful Aquarian energy of this period can help you find good opportunities in shared financial matters, or through contributions from others, but you will have to think very carefully about to what extent that compromises your independence. Do not renounce your freedom!
LEO
This month the concentration of planets in Aquarius may pose major challenges for you, especially in the realm of relationships, whether romantic, work-related or friendship. You will likely encounter considerable misunderstanding or you yourself will have difficulty understanding their behavior, but arguing will hardly help as you are likely to lose. You may want to open yourself to their proposals which can ultimately be interesting and not waste energy going against the current. Venus Star Point in Capricorn allows you to organize your tasks and routines better, enjoying the benefits of order and gentle discipline. Neptune in Aries brings you new dreams and romantic ideals!
VIRGO
The conjunction of Venus with the Sun in Capricorn favors you with a new focus in romantic relationships, which can offer you now more stability and deeper commitments. The lunations of this period also stimulate love life as well as new projects with friends. The Aquarian energy has a lot of weight this month and urges you to make changes in your habits with the aim of gaining time and freedom, though for this you will have to dare to try new things and break out of conventional routines. From now on, with Neptune’s influence in Aries, you have a great opportunity to dissolve fears, blockages or entrenched resentments. It is a great moment to free yourself from bad habits and shed ballast!
LIBRA
This month Neptune enters Aries initiating a period of confusion and lack of clarity in relationships. The experience promises to be broad, ranging from some disappointments or loss of interest, but also with the appearance of romantic loves or the arrival of clearly inspiring people. The personal planets gather in Aquarius and there will be days of a great explosion of creativity and very stimulating, pleasant moments. You will feel very seductive and you will manage to be the focus of attention. The full Moon offers you greater visibility and opportunities at work for which you will need a better organization of your time and your private life, thus achieving personal and professional fulfillment. You will have time for work, for pleasure and for love!
ESCORPIO
This month the planets in Aquarius focus on family issues or those related to the home. It may be the moment to dare to change your home or to start renovations you have been postponing. Regarding the family you must be careful that their demands do not overwhelm you too much and lead you to slam the door and disengage from everything. On the other hand, the full Moon will reveal some important truth that you will be able to understand from the heart and not only from the mind, which will in turn bring you great mental serenity. Take advantage of any opportunity to travel, near or far!
SAGITARIO
This month, the conjunction of Venus with the Sun in Capricorn opens a favorable period for the economy, in the sense of being more organized and making better long-term decisions. In general it promotes better stability. The accumulation of planets in Aquarius provides a mental energy boost that awakens your curiosity and facilitates relationships and communication with your surroundings. You will have great ideas and the need to share them, but you must be careful that the interests of some and others do not gobble up your time and energy completely. Neptune enters Aries and opens a long period of greater creativity and romance. Let go of control and let yourself be surprised!
CAPRICORNIO
The first part of the month your sign (Sun or Ascendant) commands a great prominence. Venus Star Point marks a new eight-year cycle focused on reinforcing your self-esteem and rethinking how you approach your relationships. It is a key moment to establish serious commitments, and also to improve and soften your personal image. The New Moon reinforces it, drawing attention toward new personal projects and a new way of presenting yourself to the world. Subsequently the planets move to Aquarius and set your economy in motion, with opportunities for gains but also with a greater tendency or need to spend. Moderation with money!
ACUARIO
This month the Sun enters your own sign (Solar or Ascendant) and so do the personal planets. It is your moment to shine and demonstrate your worth and your great ability to manage unconventional and very disparate matters. The last week of the month the sky advises you to be prudent and not to make precipitated nor risky decisions, since the conjunction of Mars and Pluto can be very conflictive and it is wise to handle with care and a low profile on those days. Neptune returns to Aries where it has the task of inspiring you and activating your imagination and ingenuity, though it can also fail your concentration. Watch out for slips!
PISCIS
This month the conjunction of Venus with the Sun in Capricorn and the New Moon in those signs, open a new stage as for friendships and groups but also regarding your hopes and desires which now become more realistic. The sky invites you to focus on friends who clearly show their support, screening out those who only talk but never act or are present. Regarding work groups remember that discipline and responsibility are not at odds with enjoying a pleasant environment. On the other hand, the planets in Aquarius can awaken your fears and insecurities. It is necessary not to hide worries or fears because eventually you could erupt like a pressure cooker. Do not reveal your projects yet!
