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.
