       January

      The very first day of the new year begins with some gentle energy, which may have us all feeling a little spaced out or ungrounded. The Moon is in Pisces, so for those of us who chose to spend New Year’s Eve on a retreat from the worldly bustle, this is the perfect time for contemplation and spiritual practice, such as deep meditation and Yoga, and for setting clear intentions for the year ahead. For those of us who parted company with 2019 at a party, it may mean we take longer than usual to recover. Whatever you are doing, be kind to yourself and recoup your energy, which will return full flow when Mars switches sign on 3rd January.

      Signs in the Spotlight

Image Capricorn (also its opposite sign, Cancer, to a lesser degree, until the Full Moon in Cancer on 10th January).
Image Aquarius (also its opposite sign, Leo, to a lesser degree).
Image Pisces (also its opposite sign, Virgo, to a lesser degree).
Image Sagittarius (also its opposite sign, Gemini, to a lesser degree).
Image Scorpio and its opposite sign, Taurus, equally.

      Intentions

      If you didn’t conjure up an adequately inspiring New Year’s resolution list, work on a new one now and release any fears under the Full Moon on 10th January instead – the Full Moon is such a powerful time for purification!

      Mars has been in the deep, penetrating sign of Scorpio since November 2019. This is a perfect combination for tenacity on one level and attracting soul mates on another. It’s also a time for deepening existing relationships with those who bring out the very best in us, for it’s all about chemistry and attraction that goes way beyond the physical. However, whilst Scorpio energy ‘gone right’ is forgiving, empathetic and extremely powerful, when things aren’t going well it’s prone to be stuck in the past and playing the blame game. Avoid this trait and set an intention to love yourself and release anything that causes you pain. Self-love is a far cry from narcissism; it’s a gentle inner confidence that knows you are already good enough, and are, indeed, the most powerful player in your life, with the potential to transform any area or trait that you no longer wish to work with.

      Reflect, Re-energize

      The planets’ combinations are pushing us to be serious and driven this month and will offer support to those of us who have solid goals. However, this is matched in power with serious amounts of air and fire, which energize and inspire.

      Overall, it’s vital for our well-being that we give ourselves regular breaks and take some time off to reflect on anything we need to leave behind. Our energy will be revived by the ‘Great Mother’ (nature) when Mars moves into adventure-loving Sagittarius on 3rd January. After that, we will be energized by feeding our mind with higher knowledge and becoming more philosophical. Taking walks, surfing waves or hopping on bikes to reconnect with the elements will also reboot our energy and shoot arrows of inspiration our way.

      The Aquarian influence this year is eclectic, accelerated and, at times, wild, and so to avoid burnout we must take time out from busy schedules. Our New Year vows should include being kind to ourselves and spending time with people and animals who heal and nourish our soul.

      Revolution Brings Opportunity

      Uranus, the planet that sparks revolution and change, has been in a retrograde motion (appearing to go backwards) since August last year, but finally goes direct in Taurus on 11th January. This will enable us to actualize the ideas that have been percolating away for some time; it also pushes us to become more aware of our resources and our body, and how we care for them. Pushing ourselves to extremes is not wise; finding ways to nourish mind, body and soul will set us up to achieve total soul contentment. Roll out your Yoga mat at home or in the office, plan your own class or find a fab teacher online; whatever you do, truly embrace this new year as one in which to find your balance.

      This is actually a year that will give us the opportunities to achieve our wildest dreams, but with all the Capricorn vibes at the start of this month – and throughout most of the year, thanks to Saturn and Jupiter – they won’t come easily if we haven’t worked for them.

      If we are prepared to face our shortcomings and put the work in, however, January will allow us to sow seeds that, with care and patience, will flourish just like the stunning biodynamic vineyards producing the finest grapes, all cultivated via the phases of the Moon.

      Empowerment

      The Sun shines in a sign for almost one month, magnifying and empowering the energy of that sign. Capricorn energy is magnified until 20th January and then the Sun moves on to empower Aquarius. For now, though, Capricorn energy impacts us all collectively, and the effect is even more powerful for those of us with Capricorn as our Sun sign, Moon sign, rising sign (first house), or any other major ‘stamp’, or its opposite sign, Cancer.

      This discerning yet ambitious vibe will affect us all and so we need to make sure we channel the ‘gone right’ vibe: committed, reliable and über-wise. The alternative is not very attractive: megalomania, ruthlessness and a calculating approach; think politics gone wrong. Avoid political contests and just remember that hard work and steadfastness always pay off – in one lifetime or another!

      For those of you with major stamps in Capricorn (and Cancer, to a lesser СКАЧАТЬ
