Welcome to January, Taurus. During December, the sky lit up with a Gemini full moon. While we can’t promise anything, as this affected the part of your chart that rules possessions, welcome professional news could have come your way. However, keep in mind that assertive Mars is currently retrograde, potentially bringing slowdowns. Mars retrograde is also associated with drops in libido; however, despite this, early January looks ultra romantic. This is because on Thursday, January 2, Vesta, the asteroid of sacred spirituality, moves into Scorpio and affects your partnerships as a result. This transit sees erotic relationships taking on a divine nature. If you’re in a new relationship, it could become quite intimate around this date.
But it’s not just romantic partnerships that are affected. The next day, on Friday, January 3, lover Venus enters Pisces and affects your friendships. People who consider themselves relationship anarchists hold all relationships to be equal, regardless of whether sex is involved or not. In early January, all Tauruses feel a little like relationship anarchists!
You may feel a little frustrated about work the week of Monday, January 6, when Mars retrograde moves into Cancer and affects your communication. This could lead to slowdowns in emails. If you’re waiting on professional news, you’ll need to be patient around this date. However, when the sky lights up with a Cancer full moon on Monday, January 13, the lunation associated with results, you could very well finally get that email! Just know that the next day, Tuesday, January 14, you’re not that interested in work, as your ruling planet, Venus, squares lucky Jupiter, putting you in the mood for fun rather than hustle.
Your social life becomes a priority when the sun moves into community-oriented Aquarius, kicking off Aquarius season on Sunday, January 19. Over the next few weeks, make sure to carve out time for friends. You should also take advantage of networking opportunities that arise. You’re at your most charismatic on Saturday, January 25, when your ruling planet, Venus, trines (a favorable aspect) Mars. And on the topic of networking, once messenger Mercury moves into Aquarius on Monday, January 27, your words will drip with honey. This transit reminds you of the importance of asserting yourself and asking for what you want. Use the cosmic burst of magnetism to go after what you want while being patient, as assertive Mars is currently retrograde.
The sky goes dark with a new moon in Aquarius on Wednesday, January 29. While all of January is excellent for networking, this date is especially associated with opportunity, as new moons bring fresh starts, and this one affects your social 10th House. It’s also the Lunar New Year, ushering in the Year of the Snake. The Lunar New Year is best celebrated by spending time with friends and family, so don’t work so hard that you forget to live your life.
