Your Horoscope For January 2020
Happy 2020!
This year’s astrology starts off with some really powerful events. Pay close attention to emotions rising dramatically with the lunar eclipse in Cancer on the 10th, and the once-in-a-lifetime conjunction of Pluto, Saturn, Mercury, and the Sun in Capricorn on the 12th. These transits are likely to confront us with some elements that have been lingering in the shadows, but now demand to be dealt with.
From the 25th onwards, things may feel a bit confusing as Venus and Mars dance with Neptune. Romance may be in the air, but avoid making decisions about what it all means around this time.
Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Between the lunar eclipse in your relationship house on the 10th, and the conjunction of your ruling planet, Pluto, and Mercury on the 12th, this month is a really big deal for you, Capricorn. Above all else, act in ways that reflect your integrity and not your situation. You may find yourself confronted with consequences from past actions or for standing up for what you believe in now. Either way, what you do (or don’t do) this month will have far reaching consequences, so act with care, my love.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
You are moving through some really deep terrain, Aquarius, and the best thing that you can do is keep on showing up. On January 24th there will be a new moon in your sign, and this is an especially good time to clarify what you want, start something new, or to confront old fears and feelings that have been holding you back. You’re on the verge of breaking through and identifying what you need to get where you want to go. Be here for it.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
January is likely to confront you with some intense emotions, but make no mistake that you can handle it, Pisces. Greet your fear with kindness and firm boundaries. In other words, take care of yourself without matching a story that justifies your feelings. Honour your hearts’ needs before coming up with a strategy for moving forward in your relationships, or at work. It’s better to arrive the right way instead of getting there quickly.

Aries
March 21-April 19
You’re not meant to know the answers this month, Aries, and that’s an uncomfortable place to be. Instead of trying to make things tidy, start off the New Year by honouring the messiness of the dynamics you find yourself enmeshed in. The best that you can do is pay attention to the evidence you have about people and situations in your life and factor that data in, moving forward.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
Sometimes the things that you want the most are pretty far removed from what you need. This month is the start to a new decade and a new year; take the time to look at what you’re trying to call into your life to make sure that will actually improve it. Seek the conditions that support you and your dreams, that can help you to be happy, and to grow into the person you want to be, instead of just trying to keep up with the Joneses.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
There are a million options of what you can do, what might happen, or where you could go, but in reality, you can only do a finite amount of things at a time. January is a time when you are meant to choose a direction, no matter how many distractions there may be to getting that done. Align yourself with the actions that reflect your priorities instead of chasing every good idea you have this month, Twin Star.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
Your relationships are likely to be a source of intensity this month as issues of power and responsibility rear their heads. Watch out for defensiveness—in yourself and in others, and strive, whenever possible, to rise to the occasion instead of doubling down on your point. If you want your relationships to thrive, it’s on you to be willing to step up when things get real, even if that means being the only adult in the dynamic.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
Sometimes when you stand up for what you believe in, you end up standing alone. Don’t let the discomfort that comes with knowing yourself stop you from honoring what’s true for you, Leo. January is likely to confront you with the choice of going along with things, or being true to yourself, and while the latter may seem like the more provocative option, that’s only true in the short term. Make moves you can happily grow into this month.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You can’t control where things go in the world, or even people’s attitudes, but you can make sure that you’re pointing yourself in the right direction. This month it’s important that you lay foundations that reflect your feelings, beliefs, and goals, even if that means stepping out on a limb and taking chances that are intimidating. Don’t let awkwardness stop you from creating a life that you actually want to be living, my love.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
You may find yourself needing to let go of someone or something that you didn’t foresee—and it’s complicated. It’s time for you to accept what others are showing you about themselves, even if it means that you need to have some hard conversations or even take some space. The key here is to be forthright about your position so that you aren’t complicit in the very problems that are making you unhappy, Libra.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
It’s OK to call a truce, to press pause, or to generally buy yourself some time this month. You may need to pivot in a meaningful way, but it’s likely that you don’t know exactly how or in what direction yet, Scorpio. It’s healthy and fair to need space and time to figure things out—what gets you in trouble is not communicating this in a clear way to the people that it directly impacts. Don’t expect others to read your mind, my love.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
While you may not get what you want this month, you’re absolutely poised to get what you need. Allow yourself to grieve when you need to, but don’t believe that the losses of today are a forbearer on what’s to come. Take pains to stay present with the good, the bad, and the TBD, even if that means being uncomfortable or sad. The way that your life will thrive requires you to be real, not that you move quickly, Sagittarius.
