Capricorn (Dec. 22 — Jan. 19)

The arrival of Jupiter in your chart this month is a long-term guest you will be keeping for at least a year, Capricorn. Jupiter’s arrival will provide optimism and welcomeness in your life. However, this will become apparent gradually as you are still struggling with unfinished business and unwelcomeness from last month’s drama. 

 

Aquarius (Jan. 20 — Feb. 18)

You, the people around you or your career? Aquarius, you will finally have to do something you’ve ignored for months. As nightmarish as it sounds to you, you’ll have to realign the structure of your priorities. This will be a major shift, as you haven’t allowed yourself to make the changes you’ve thought about recently. 

 

Pisces (Feb. 19 — March 20)

Jupiter, the planet of abundance and blessings, moves into your friendship and family sector; this will pave the way for rekindling wounded relationships with those who deserve to stay in your life as a positive influence. Pisces, this is the month to give yourself a fresh new start when it comes to expressing gratitude and putting effort into the relationships that matter most to you.    

 

Aries (March 21 — April 19)

Aries, this month is all about setting your milestones professionally and personally. With these milestones, you step into an authoritative role as the tenth house rules in leadership for you. January brings transformation and tenaciousness for the hardworking and ambitious Aries.

 

Taurus (April 20 — May 20) 

Taurus, the ninth house will start off your year with authenticity and honesty. If there is anything to discuss, now is your time since your new start begins with confrontation. The decade’s first lunar eclipse brings you new beginnings and change in regards to your social groups or your goals. 

 

Gemini (May 21 — June 20)

Gemini, this month is all about learning and emphasizing the importance of intangibles in your life. Although you are often focused on more materialistic aspects of your life, this new year starts off with an intense focus on where you are heading in life, both emotionally and professionally. 

 

Cancer (June 21 — July 22)

Cancer, a new moon solar eclipse from the last week of December is still following through with good luck and thrill throughout January. Although things may be somewhat unplanned or unexpected, you will work your way through each obstacle you face in the coming weeks. 

 

Leo (July 23 — Aug. 22)

Leo, your new experiences and environments may be clashing with your usual talkative nature, since you haven’t been as social as usual.

Although your calendar might look a little bit busy this month, you still maintain your enthusiasm and hope for a prosperous year. 

 

Virgo (Aug. 23 — Sept. 22)
