The New Moon in Capricorn arrives on 18 January, flanked by Mercury conjunct Mars in Capricorn and Venus conjunct Pluto in Aquarius (exact on 20 January). The tension between conservative and progressive forces urges you to prepare the ground for long-term projects. Try to value novelty and what is tried-and-tested equally, combine vision with feasibility, and set out the next steps in a practical way.
Image: Aquarius 20 January marks a clear shift. The Sun and Mercury enter Aquarius. Venus meets Pluto. Saturn forms a sextile to Uranus. Mars is trine Uranus and sextile Saturn. Mercury sextiles Neptune. On 21 January the Sun meets Mercury; on 22 January Mercury reaches Pluto and the Sun follows on 23 January. On that same day Mars moves into Aquarius.
Important tracks are laid during these days, setting a new course. Relationships and values deepen or call for honest decisions. Power structures also become more visible. Be clear about your intentions and do not beat around the bush. Clarity and authenticity now create trust. Beware of hidden power games.
The time is ripe for smart reforms that strengthen future viability. Plans and agreements that blend integrity with pioneering spirit now find an audience. Action shifts noticeably toward collective, networking topics. Shared goals, projects with social relevance and technological innovations come to the fore. -Astrodienst
