January: Month Ahead

Everyone you meet will be admiring and appreciating you on your daily rounds which will boost your morale. Being surrounded by obvious affection which isn't grand passion but is very morale boosting will put you in good heart for the New Year. You'll also find that Jupiter from the 5th into Aquarius for the year ahead, your chart area which rules your personal finances, will start speeding up your cash flow. Money will be easy come, easy go since your spending will soar. Try to save a little for a rainy day later on. It won't be easy but will be sensible. Your birthday Sun will also keep your vitality high and you'll be more outgoing, insisting that others pay attention. Mars will also give you an edge from your own sign so you'll stamp your foot if necessary to waken people up. You may not always be tactful but you'll make faster progress. After the 19th the Aquarius Sun heading for the Solar Eclipse and Jupiter will put you on a high, financially and in terms of optimism. Bright ideas on the 22nd should be put into gear instantly though it'll take effort and some discipline to turn the good luck around into tangible, long lasting results.

2009 comes in like a lion with the triple threat of the Sun, Mars and Jupiter powering up your stars. You continue to gear up for tremendous change, with the biggest chunk of the transformation starting this month. For starters, you’ve got the mojo of the powerful full moon on 10 January. This is activating your partnership and marriage sector. Expect some interesting drama to flare up with whomever or whatever you feel married to during this time. If this includes a business partnership, you’ll have to weigh some very important decisions this month. On the financial front, it’s wise to take a more conservative approach especially around the New Moon Solar Eclipse on 16 January. Many things will shift over the next six months, so hold off on major commitments with your money until you can regain a sense of the big picture. Mercury, the communications planet, will retrograde back into your sign on 21 January, so you’ll have a chance to re-do, rethink and revise any glitches from late 2008.
