Surprising news may arrive on January 12 as Mercury clashes with Uranus: This may manifest in your finances or plans for the future, so keep things flexible, and don’t place any bets just yet—especially since there’s a Mercury retrograde at the end of the month, which may find you rethinking your commitments and decisions.

The sun also meets Pluto on this day, making for an intriguing moment in your social life where you might be connecting with some very powerful people.

One of the most significant days of the month is January 17, when your ruling planet Jupiter clashes with wildcard Uranus, marking an important change in direction. Jupiter is all about growth and expansion, and Uranus about freedom and innovation: Important breakthroughs are taking place.

There’s a dramatic energy in the air, and people are behaving in unexpected ways. 

Aquarius season begins on January 19! This is a quiet time of year for you, dear Pisces, where you long to retreat, and catch up on rest and quality time alone. It’s a great opportunity to get lost in a fantasy series you love—and to avoid any media that makes you feel paranoid. Mars meets Uranus on January 20, and an erratic, aggressive energy is in the air. Big, unexpected conversations or news will likely come up, but a Mercury retrograde is nearing, so we’ll see how well these surprises stick.

January 23 is busy: Mars clashes with Jupiter, Venus aligns with Neptune, and the sun meets Saturn, marking the beginning of a new journey of setting boundaries.

Sweet Venus’s connection with dreamy Neptune inspires sympathy, creativity, and gentleness in your social life—enjoy!

Surprising news and emotional breakthroughs take place on January 26 as the sun clashes with Uranus. You’ve never been too concerned about “fitting in,” dear fish, and have always felt confident in having your own style and way of thinking and doing things, but you’re especially feeling the urge to free yourself from any expectations you don’t align with right now.

The full moon in Leo lands on January 28, finding you releasing an exciting project or perhaps kicking a bad habit. January 28 also finds Venus meeting Pluto and the sun meeting Jupiter, marking the beginning of new journeys in both your social life and your private life. You’re partnering with intriguing, well-connected people, but also carving out more space for you to do inner work, explore your shadow self, and expand your spiritual connection. This is a powerful time for therapy.

The month ends with Mercury beginning its retrograde in Aquarius on January 30, which lasts until February 21. Conversations and plans that have come up since January 14 will be up for review at this time. Mercury retrograde is famous for miscommunications and delays, so avoid signing important contracts, making big purchases, or traveling if you. However, if you have an unfinished project you’ve been meaning to pick back up, or if you just want to take a break—this is a great time to do so! You’re likely to have some very interesting dreams and explore some secrets during this Mercury retrograde, too.

Good luck this month, Pisces, and see you in February!
