January’s hotspot centers in your solar third house, the site of the January 4 Moon (solar eclipse) in Capricorn. Because of its alignment with Saturn in Libra, your solar twelfth house, you should take precautions to prevent a cold or virus. Stay warm, get plenty of sleep, and eat healthy foods. This eclipse also urges caution on the road. Avoid distractions, and take your vehicle in for routine maintenance.
Travel may be in the forecast as the January 19 Moon in Cancer spotlights your solar ninth house. Nothing planned? Make reservations for a spring or summer trip, and try to squeeze in a weekend at a nearby destination this month. The Moon will also trigger your curiosity. Satisfy it with reading, Internet research, or by taking a leisure-time class.
Relationships have their high points and their low points this month. Personalities and egos will clash at times as Mercury transits Capricorn from the 13th on, and with Mars in the same sign through the 14th. But you’ll also be in sync with many when Mercury and Mars align favorably with other planets. Your social life will benefit from Jupiter in Pisces through the 21st.
Jupiter moves on to Aries, your solar sixth house, on the 22nd, where it will shine favorably on your job sector until early June. Plan ahead to make the most of this lucky transit, which could bring you nice rewards. Send out resumes if you’re in the market for a new position. One caution: over-optimism can get the best of you, so don’t take on more than you can complete.
