The Sun moving into Capricorn will encourage our drive to connect with reason and take constructive action on the 4th, while also pushing us to innovate and step off the beaten path on the 13th! Successive trends that might favor renewal without overstepping limits? Be careful, however, not to impose anything on anyone and remain open to dialogue (on the 16th)! Starting from the 19th, the Sun migrates into Aquarius! This presents the opportunity to reflect on the deeper structure to be established (on the 21st) in hopes of ending the month buoyed by a wave of hope and perhaps even optimism (on the 30th)!Mercury finishes its journey through Sagittarius on the 6th, not without having sown doubt in our minds precisely on the 6th, where we may struggle to sort through unclear markers and achievable ideals! Starting on the 6th, the “messenger of the gods” enters Capricorn, tending to channel a mind seeking both stability and inspiring ideas that bring us joy (on the 19th)! An imagination that takes off, inviting us to reinvent the world (on the 23rd), and a desire to decidedly cross a threshold towards a more exhilarating vision of life on Earth (on the 26th)? From the 28th, Mercury will move into Aquarius. It will then be time to dig deeper into the subject, to explore the deeper motivations that are currently driving us to act in this way (on the 29th)!
Venus leaves Aquarius on the 3rd to enter Pisces! While the delightful planet encourages all kinds of excesses on the 14th (excessive spending, heightened desires), it will urge us to return to reason and focus on what truly matters, to prioritize reason (on the 19th), but also to foster tender, intimate, or at least respectful exchanges! Expect passionate impulses, incandescent rekindlings on the 25th, and a certain desire to spice up relationships or forge one that adds excitement to the atmosphere and breaks the routine (on the 26th)!
Mars retrograde in Leo will tend to fan the flames, rekindling and maintaining conflicts and antagonisms on the 1st. The warrior planet will re-enter Cancer starting on the 6th until April 18th, inviting us from the 12th to fight for our ideals, to defend a more progressive, visionary worldview (on the 23rd), and to invest wholeheartedly in embodying our principles as harmoniously as possible (on the 25th)! The only pitfall to avoid for our initiatives to bear fruit? Avoid coercing anyone (on the 16th, the 23rd), and prefer persuasion.
Jupiter is not very comfortable in Gemini (as it’s in exile)! While this configuration undoubtedly boosts our curiosity, our thirst to explore new avenues, and our desire to communicate (and perhaps to charm) in all directions, let’s be careful to remain clear in our intentions because while Jupiter in Gemini encourages mental flights, beware of the temptation to deceive or to rely on our exalted rhetoric to defraud! Be mindful also of the risk of being deceived and led astray! In January, while Jupiter may encourage all kinds of excesses—emotional, material, sensual, or financial—on the 14th, it should offer us a rather pleasant finale at the end of the month (on the 30th)! A promising path opening up?
Saturn in Pisces could just as well push us to turn inward, to explore our inner world, as it could lock us into constraint! It’s up to us to decide whether we prefer to free ourselves (at least internally) from beliefs that have outlived their usefulness or to endure them! In January, the austere planet will act as a moderator, bringing us back to reason whenever we tend to rush ahead without a seatbelt, heading straight for a wall! We can count on its wise counsel to encourage us to think before acting, to pause (on the 4th, the 19th), whether in love or business!
Uranus will remain in Taurus until April 2026! While this planet has the power to bring forth the creative resources of the sign and boost our potential and talents, it is also likely to overturn established codes, shake up our habits, disrupt our societies, and push us to reassess our values and our way of approaching the world! In January, Uranus will amplify our adventurous spirit, stimulate our creativity, and encourage us to take risks around the 13th, 23rd, and 26th! These risks should be calculated and carefully considered, following the retrograde of the zodiac’s free spirit that began on September 1st and will end on January 30th!
Neptune, in its home sign of Pisces (which it fully entered in February 2012), is gradually freeing us from a clan mentality and broadening our horizons on all levels—moral, ethical, and religious. However, in the case of difficult aspects with other planets, it can reveal the part of illusion, confusion, and wandering present in each of us and, more broadly, in our political, ethical, and religious systems, which are currently so painfully human. In January, Neptune could foster exchanges where a certain vagueness (not necessarily artistic) prevails (on the 6th), but it will also reignite our desire to defend our ideals (on the 12th)! Similarly, around the 17th and 26th, we will aspire to serve a cause that inspires us, to embody a vision of the world that transcends divisions and reflects a more inspiring version of human destiny!
Pluto in Aquarius is a gateway to everything! The best and the worst! Access to a world where technology and artificial intelligence could improve your daily life (especially medically), but also one where the tools that virtualize our world could disconnect us from ourselves and expose us to the temptation of excess! Let’s make sure we remain in control of our creations so they never surpass us and serve only noble purposes! In January, the "lord of transformations" may intensify certain instinctive reactions that are not necessarily positive (anger, violence, jealousy) on the 3rd, but will then offer us the opportunity to deeply reflect on what motivates our actions and reactions. A dive into the depths of our moods and instincts that is perhaps essential (on the 21st, 29th) and that could prove valuable and constructive!
Astrology: What You Need to Know
As the Moon moves at full speed in the zodiac (it travels approximately one sign in two days), we can't detail its evolution in our astral press review! However, its influence can activate sensitive points in the map of our sky... If you wish to know the Moon's position day by day, consult the ephemerides*, which will inform you about the daily position of the planets.
GMT (Greenwich time meridian): universal time to which you have to add (currently) for France one hour in winter and two hours in summer to determine at what exact moment the planet enters a new sign, crosses another planet, etc...
The planets in retrograde: The apparent movement of a planet that gives the impression that the planet stops and then starts again. This phenomenon actually results from the difference between the speed of revolution of the planet and Earth around the Sun. In astrology, a retrograde represents a force that works against the current. Generally, it corresponds to the internalization of energy. Sometimes, it means restraining evolution and recommends that the individual ask themselves about the work to be done to free themselves from the debts of the past or to exploit their potential more consciously!
Domicile of a planet: The sign in which a planet evolves in affinity (for example, Venus in Taurus). The planet then expresses its potential without constraint, freely and creatively...
