Sparks can fly with Venus in Scorpio, making love intense and passionate. Be careful not to keep secrets and get ready to deal with emotional baggage, especially as Mars and Pluto bring things to a head. And as Mercury moves to Capricorn and meets up with Pluto, and shortly after squares with Uranus, a serious discussion can result in firm decisions being made that can literally change your life, and suddenly. The intensity of a Supermoon and Uranus out of retrograde can force you to let go of the past and embrace the future. And as Venus moves to Sagittarius, there’s a lightness in the air to welcome in the New Year.

A situation at work can set your imagination and motivation on fire, and a new project may be just what you need now to put the energy back into your ambitious spirit. And with love, a new development can be positive, although perhaps a little disruptive, but a disruption you won’t mind. Change seems imminent, and although can be unsettling, you are evolving and the new place you are destined to move to, physically or metaphysically speaking, promises to be pretty fabulous!
Aquarius / January 20 – February 18
Venus, the planet of relationships, makes her move to your career zone, and as such, can connect you with people who can help promote your career. And as Venus also governs money, your finances could look up now, too. But don’t wait for someone else to start things off; if you can initiate a situation then you can build the momentum. Venus will then make a move to the next sign later in the month, and shift your energy from business to social, just in time to see the New Year in with friends. It is important to remember, that although at home and at the work place, there’s always a need to work in with others. But you are in control of your own life, and you are also in charge of looking after yourself, so in all the busyness of life, remember to do the right thing for yourself, because if you don’t, who will?
Pisces / February 19 – March 20
You will need to keep your finger on the pulse in many areas of your life this month, as it would seem that just about everything falls under the list of priorities now. Aim to spend quality instead of quantity time with people. If you are well organized, you will be able to achieve a great deal. Mid month, things will come together more and your hard work will be worth it, although, that doesn’t mean that the pressure will release. In fact, it may be that someone will let you down, possibly a friend, but it will be better now than later. Venus, the planet that governs relationships and finances, will move to your career zone later in the month, and will help connect you with the right people, so it’s as if one situation may fall apart but another one opens up. Your love life will demand your attention later in the month, too, and you may need to make an important decision. Life is full now and can open up for you to be better than what you think, but most likely not without a few frustrations along the way.
