The astrology of January is officially setting the tone for your 2025 career and financial goals, so it’s time to fine-tune your intentions and get busy. Luckily, the January money horoscope for all zodiac signs is full of opportunities to think outside the box and make solid plans for your future.
It’s Capricorn season until Jan. 19, and with the sun in this pragmatic and hardworking earth sign, it’s the perfect time to buckle down and get serious about your professional life. However, Mars is still retrograding all month, so you may find your motivation levels are lower than you’d like them to be. Instead of exhausting yourself trying to take action and push yourself to be ambitious, use this Capricorn zodiac energy to do long-term planning and lay a solid foundation for your material goals.
On Jan. 8, the mental planet Mercury joins the sun in Capricorn, giving you the power to think more practically and embrace a more business-minded approach. Now’s a good time to make shrewd decisions at work or consider safe investments that could serve you in the future. Later that week, on Jan. 13, the full moon in Cancer gently but firmly asks you to consider the balance between your work life and family life. How can you manage your responsibilities in a way that doesn’t leave you feeling like you’re falling behind?
Aquarius season begins on Jan. 19, and the sun aligns with power-hungry Pluto as it glides into this innovative air sign’s realm, giving you a competitive edge and desire to succeed that can be advantageous at work. Capricorn season was all about sticking to what’s tried and true, but with Aquarius zodiac energy at the helm, you may want to be more rebellious, cutting-edge, and unconventional in how you conduct business or manage your money.
The end of the month is the perfect time to take action on some of your more eccentric ideas, as intellectual Mercury follows the sun into Aquarius on Jan. 27. The new moon in Aquarius rises the following day, so push past your comfort zone and embrace collaborative projects at work. On Jan. 30, chain-breaking planet Uranus ends its retrograde in earthy Taurus, and its forward motion should inspire some forward-thinking, too. On the same day, the sun harmonizes with the abundant planet Jupiter, so trust that good fortune is headed your way.
