Your Horoscope For January 2018

Illustration, Kiki Ljung.

January is bookended by full moons on the 1st and the 31st, and the prerequisite dramatic feels that tend to accompany them. At the same time, there’s a heavy shift from the planet Saturn moving into Capricorn, which will confront you with the consequences of your choices over the past few years. Strap yourself in for a long ride, lovers.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

Relationships are a reflection of you, and not just of the individuals you’re connected to. This month, everything changes, Capricorn, and it’s essential that you don’t retreat when things get messy. You can’t control what others feel or do, but you can manage how you respond, and what you’re willing to participate in. If you don’t like the game, don’t play, and if you don’t like the terms, change them. Be the change you wish to see in your life, my love.

Aquarius

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

It’s a new year and an excellent time to make sure that your habits are healthy and working for you. How you spend your time is a reflection of your main concerns, so pay attention to where you’re devoting your precious energies, Aquarius. You may need to spend some extra time alone to reconnect with yourself this month, especially because the full moon on the 31st is likely to have you answering to others. You can’t be a good friend to anyone else if you’re not your own BFF first.

Pisces

Feb. 19 – March 20

Everyone is shifting around you. If you’ve been grounding yourself in reaction to others, these changes will make you feel super overwhelmed and out of sorts. Don’t be surprised if you have to answer for what you care about around the middle of this month — even if it’s uncomfortable. The new moon on the 27th will be a stabilizing force, so make use of it by tending to the people and things that feed you, Pisces.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

The full moon in Cancer on the 1st is going to kick up major feels. If you don’t deal with them, they will come back at you in the shape of difficult relationship issues by the 9th. Watch out for opportunities on the 16th that can help you to make sure your life is on track to reflect your goals. If you’re making compromises that make you feel stuck, the last week of January is likely to bring up major resentments. Deal directly or be willing to work with whatever hand you’re dealt.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

It’s easy to get caught up in the details, but the start of ’18 is the time to align with the big picture, Taurus. The limitations that you’ve taken on may or may not be based in reality, and there’s only one way to find out. Don’t let your scarcity issues curtail what you’re capable of. Fear is only a good instructor when you’re in actual danger. Make it your goal to feel good about what you do instead of only doing what feels good this month.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

You can’t have your arms truly open to the future when you’re clutching onto your past, Twin Star. The first part of this month will confront you with what you desire, and what you need to let go of in order to get it. Be brave, my love, because there’s only one way to get where you want to go, and that’s with a willingness to confront the complicated parts of your actions, and the underlying issues that motivate them.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

With Saturn now in your relationship house, 2018 may feel like it’s starting off with some heaviness. Strive to look for the common themes in your relationships, and the most consistent ways that you participate in them. Saturn brings about a period of reckoning, and while that can be intimidating, it’s also clarifying. Show up for the ways that your actions aren’t consistent with your needs, and make adjustments as needed. Honouring all of your feels doesn’t require you to always act on them.

Leo

July 23 – Aug. 22

Get ready for the feels, Leo. The full moon on the 1st is going to bring up strong emotions that don’t make sense at first, but need your loving attention. Pay extra close attention to your dreams and the signs that emerge around then, as the full moon in your sign on the 31st is going to be the time for you to embody what you’ve learned. You don’t need to be perfect, but if you’re not motivated by kindness to yourself and others you’re likely to feel off no matter what you do. Heal what hurts, Leo.

Virgo

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

There are a million ways to be a creative person and this month it’s time to embrace at least one of yours. Whether you’re fed through writing, singing in the shower, parenting, or anything else, it’s important that you prioritize artistic expression in your life, Virgo. The more that your actions reinforce what gives you joy and meaning, the more inspiring it is to be alive. While that alone won’t solve your problems, it will absolutely make them easier to bear, my love.

Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

When you’re doing it right, being emotionally present without getting totally bowled over by your feels is a full-time job. This month kicks off with all kinds of emotional drama, and that’s only a bad thing if you can’t handle the truth. The best thing to do is simply show up, Libra. You can’t control what others feel or what they do, but you can be true to yourself and your commitments, even if it means having to change how you participate in your relationships, Libra.

Scorpio

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

Where are you going, Scorpio? It’s a new year and it’s time to cultivate a clearer vision of your future. With all of the emo lunar activity this month, it will be easy to get caught up in a cycle of reacting to whatever is in front of you, but that would be a waste. Remember where you wanna be so that you don’t fight for things that won’t get you there. You’re at the start of a new cycle, so kick it off right.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

It’s essential that you work toward what you value. It’s not enough to have theories about the stuff you care about; you need to also put the time into it. The first half of January will have you dealing directly with the stuff you’ve prioritized in your actions. If you don’t like what’s going on, you may need to make some major renovations to how you spend your energy and time. Don’t compromise in ways that compromise you, 'Tarius.
