You may feel like you’re under a lot of pressure to perform at a high level at work or elsewhere in your life. Typically, you’re a warrior. But lately, you want to run away from your duties — especially on Jan. 15 when your planetary ruler, Mars, currently moonwalking in Cancer, opposes the Capricorn sun, making you pause before you react. If you need help, do not hesitate to ask. Being responsible means knowing when you require assistance.
Venus’s cosmic meetup with Saturn in Pisces on Jan. 18 affirms your status in the community. These two planets are conspiring to hype you up! Consider committing to a humanitarian endeavor that helps others grow and improve their lives. You’ll feel as though you’re part of something — and that will make you feel good.
January 18 is a prime moment to level up in your life, due to the alignment of money planet Venus and committable Saturn in the career sector of your chart. Maybe you’ll ask your boss for a raise. Maybe you’ll come up with an idea that fuels your creativity. Stay alert this week to see what opportunities come your way.
Although you’re emotionally mature, you often shy away from expressing your heart to protect yourself. On Jan. 15, when the sun in Capricorn and Mars retrograde in Cancer oppose each other, let your feelings flow. Mars retrograde is heightening your sentiments, making you want to surrender to what’s inside.
The Aquarius sun’s enigmatic conjunction with Pluto on Jan. 21 creates tension in the romantic sector of your chart. When these two planets face off, hidden resentments arise. You might find that your crush or significant other isn’t being upfront about their needs and desires. The truth always comes out at some point, so try to let matters unfold naturally. Be careful in how you proceed.
Since Venus and Saturn are illuminating the relationship area of your chart on Jan. 18, you are more inclined than ever to run off into the sunset with a loved one. You can have the happy ending you desire, as long as you’re realistic about what it entails. Knowing that there could be hiccups along the way to your fairytale ending is a more pragmatic and grounded approach to romance. Keep your feet firmly cemented even as you are whisked away.
The planetary alignment between Venus and Saturn on Jan. 18 urges you to begin the resolutions you initiated on New Year’s Day. Together, the planets of love and responsibility make for the perfect union for committing to what will make you soar on a personal level. The sun’s rousing connection with Pluto in Aquarius on Jan. 21 inspires you to keep up the hard work.
The sun’s union with Pluto on Jan. 21 in the home sector of your chart is making you wonder about your ancestry. You should create a family tree with your brood and cousins to learn more about the past and your lineage. This may spark conversations and opportunities for bonding.
Lately, you’re craving alone time and relaxation. Chilling at home is proving to be the best form of self-care — especially on Jan. 18 when the Capricorn sun aspects the nodes of destiny, motivating you to spend time under the covers with your phone set to “do not disturb.”
The last days of Capricorn season may bring social opportunities your way. Beware a confrontation on Jan. 15, when the sun shares a tense aspect with Mars retrograde, potentially bringing old acquaintances out of the woodwork. The good news is that your friends will invite you out on Jan. 17 and 18 when Neptune and the nodes of destiny harmonize with your sun sign, reminding you of who’s really in your corner.
With your solar return beginning on Jan. 19, you’ll feel on top of the world. Two days later, metamorphic and domineering Pluto’s pull on your sun sign gives you the strength and endurance to say “no” and set boundaries with anyone trying to take over your birthday plans. You should do whatever makes you happy with whomever you choose on your special day.
You’ll try to take a passive approach to conflict when the sun and Neptune, the planet of illusions, link up on Jan. 17. Confrontation might be necessary on Jan. 18 due to the planetary connection of Venus and Saturn and on Jan. 19 when Mercury and Saturn collide. Turns out, in this case, hiding away from struggles won’t lead to a resolution. Your relationships will be stronger for the conversation.
