Our exper t astrologer Lucy Lam reveals what your month has in store for you...
January’s planetary dance is an active one! Mars whizzes to the top of the chart, and is followed by the new Moon in Capricorn, the sign of stability. Mercury and Venus will join later in the month.
Around the 20th, things change. First, the Sun moves into Aquarius, sign of progressiveness and independence, followed a day later by Pluto, planet of transformation. This is big news. Aquarius is known for its futuristic vision, innovation and new ways of thinking, while Pluto is all about rebirth. It brings everything to the surface, leading to profound change. Science and power structures will alter, and we’ll start to recognise the connection between the spiritual and the worldly. This will influence our planet right up until 2043.
In more immediate terms, there’ll be a hot spot of a glorious full Moon this month, as Leo brings heart and energy to life, followed by Uranus moving forward in Taurus after a long spell of retrograde. It’ll bring an economic shake-up! There may also be news about creative approaches to environmental issues and earth-friendly technologies. A good way to start the year!
