Astrology January 2023

Aries
The first part of the month may see you fairly consumed with family. Of course many of us spend time with relatives during this time of year, but you guys have a Full Moon on the 7th, highlighting this area. This could be good or bad, depending on how you all get along, but either way realisations and breakthrough moments are possible now. All that being sorted, the latter part of January holds some really great energy surrounding your social life and it’ll be time to get out and about more autonomously. If you make the effort, you’ll be meeting people more aligned with who you are now. So look into attending gatherings of all kinds to do with what you want more of in 2023! Open doors, plant seeds to do with a few of your dreams, hopes and aspirations and watch them grow throughout the year.

Taurus
The first part of the month has a lot to do with your communication “zone”. This could be that you’ve had an ongoing and confusing conversation taking place, or that the way you express yourself has come into focus. Look for a breakthrough and a couple of Eureka moments as things become clear… Finally! The latter part of January has a fresh start, change and new beginning theme re career matters. New projects and faces at work, a new routine or the way you work could be up for discussion… or a fresh pathway/avenue may appear. The choice will be yours as to what your direction should be, but think about what you’d like ahead of time, so you’re in prime position to take advantage. There’s an Aura of being in the right place at the right time about you.

Gemini
Time, money, income, expenditure! The first part of the month may see you start the year off focused in on the business side of your life. If you’ve been going back and forth, nutting through a process? Around the 7th, look forward to some incoming information which will give you clarity and a better understanding of how you can and should proceed. Final negotiations are beginning and as we head into February you’ll be getting some well deserved traction. The last couple of weeks of January see you aligning more and more with changes you’ve recently made to your belief system and you’ll have the opportunity to start walking your talk in 2023. Foreign concepts and ideas… even possible overseas travel for work or pleasure appear around the 22nd. Take advantage! You’ll be glad you did.

Cancer
You’re usually consumed with family and friends during the Festive season, but you have a Full Moon in your Sign on the 7th (exact time below), bringing the focus fairly and squarely back on to YOU. Try to keep your diary/ schedule light for the first couple of weeks of January, as you may want the time and space to reflect on life and the direction you’d like to go toward. At the very least, start something new which nurtures and supports you, you can make this as serious or frivolous a mission as you’d like, but map it out and take the first step or two. A workshop or short course to update your talents and skills would be good use of the energy, as would signing up for a creative endeavor! You’ll be able to stretch and grow yourself throughout the year. Exciting!! Make sure you’re doing something you love.

Leo
You might have spent the holiday season in a rather reflective mood Leo, there’s been an emphasis on your more Spiritual side… Looking back and processing your beliefs about all things then vs now. A riddle or two may have floated into consciousness and the first couple of weeks this month can bring you some valuable “A Ha!” moments. It’s one of those times where things suddenly shift and fall into place, nice! The second half of January has a partnership flavour to it, which can have to do with both work and personal relationships. Fresh starts and new beginnings are possible around the 22nd and there’s a distinct romantic trend to all this too, Leo! Move a current relationship to a new level or if you’re in the market for starting something new? Take up invitations or get out and about… there’s something special in the air.

Virgo
You might find your social circle still very active and busy even though the holiday season is waning, Virgo. You guys in particular have the chance to keep the party going well into January. This is great if you worked throughout, as many of you do! Or it may be that you’ve been Chief festivity organisers &/or coordinators. Either way, it’s time to place the emphasis on YOU personally and do some of the things you’d like to, purely for yourself. If you’re planning to start a new health or fitness routine, aim for the 22nd when the New Moon (exact time below), is highly supportive of such things. The energy can offer you the tenacity you need to achieve whatever you’re pitching for. Yes! You’re good at that anyway, but you’ll have an extra aspect of ease and flow not only from the get-go, but ongoing… and who doesn’t want more of that!?

Libra
Whilst everyone is slowly stepping into work mode, for you guys in particular, there’s a lot of energy in your career sector right from the get-go this year! Announcements may be forthcoming in the first couple of weeks which may change your work environment. There’s a possibility of someone leaving suddenly or conversely, appearing out-of-the-blue. Either way it’ll spice things up, offer motivation and get everyone’s attention. This aside, the latter part of January has a very creative flavour to it and a distinctively playful kind of energy abounds! Plan to take up a new adventurous hobby… do a workshop which aligns with your fun side, Libra. This can be alone, partnered or with your kids and by the by, if any of you are looking to start a family? Around the 22nd would be great timing. Go for it!

Scorpio
You may find yourself contemplating the big picture re ethics, morality, right vs wrong, with your values and principles coming in to play. Mysticism, foreign places, travel, religion, faith etc are all highlighted areas for you in the first couple of weeks, bringing out your inner philosopher. Expect a couple of “A Ha!” moments around the Full Moon on the 7th (exact time below), which may see a few of your ideas and theories click into place. The latter part of the month bring in more emphasis regarding your home life and where you live. There should be opportunity for a fresh start or new beginning surrounding these matters, the effects including those you share your environment with too. It’s a nice influence, Scorpio, so spend some time working out how you’d like things to look. You should have the chance to direct the energy and get things going your way.

Sagittarius
The Full Moon on the 7th (exact time below), shines it’s light on shared resources. Things like joint finances are up for discussion and you should be able to gain some clarity and/or a plan on how to reconfigure any issues. If you’ve been waiting for others to put their cards on the table, now would be the time! Some would also say Soul Contracts fall under this banner as well, so thoughts and discussions on who owes what to whom may come up. It could be a murky subject but if you want to wade in, it can be a very cathartic, healing time. There’s an opportunity to set things up in a fairer and more straightforward way. The end of the month can see you moving around your neighbourhood, running more than a few errands than usual and the chance for a short trip might appear. All should go well… it’s an active time for you, so hopefully you’re rested up!

Capricorn
The emphasis for the first couple of weeks is on partnerships, both professional and personal. It’s probably more about you fielding rather than instigating though, so expect to be hearing a thing or two from others around the Full Moon on the 7th (exact time below). At times such as these, people suddenly speak up or reveal stances or opinions you may not have been aware of. However, there’s no need to act immediately. So if you’re caught slightly off guard, your first and best move is to slow down your response and think things through before making any moves. The New Moon on the 22nd ushers in great news and fresh energy re your career and finances. Do things differently, start a new project, take a new direction, reach out to new people… You get the idea! For here’s where your best prospects lie, Capricorn.

Aquarius
You’re wrapping up a rather heavy cycle, one that’s been ongoing for a couple of years now and though I can’t say the world will settle down and “come good” magically, the way you feel and how you perceive things shifts and becomes lighter as the year progresses… hoorah!! That’s great, as you’ll continue transforming but from a different place, in a difference stance. The New Moon on the 22nd (exact time below), is in Aquarius! Timing couldn’t be better to start putting yourself and your wants and needs first. Where you’ve felt overly obliged or burdened, you’ll find a way to extricate yourself. Your only proviso is not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I’m sure you’ll have a clear idea by now about what and who is allowed to stay and who really needs to go. Liberty. Nice.

Pisces
Creativity! If you’ve been working away at something, it’s about to reach a successful culmination. If you’ve been blocked or stuck? Get back into it around the Full Moon on the 7th (exact time below), Pisces, because you’ll be able to blast through any walls around then and see your way through to the other side. Inspiration and Eureka moments abound and the answer could prove quite straightforward and simple in the end. You’ve also got some fantastic energy surrounding your Spiritual side and practices later in January. On the 22nd there’s a fresh start/ new beginning vibe and you can direct this however you wish. What have you been drawn to lately? Get going with it now. It may require some hard work, but the eventual results will please you. They could even set you on a whole new path, so take yourself seriously!
