Happy New Year, Aquarius! The month opens with a full moon—a super moon, in fact—in Cancer on January 1. The vibe is going to be ultra emotional, so expect to be unusually weepy. Astrologers love talking about how aloof you Aquarians are, but when you get sensitive, it’s a big scene. Being overworked, feeling like you don’t have enough time in the day, and having a seemingly endless to-do list is going to push you to your limit. It’s time for a change!

This is a perfect occasion to make adjustments to your schedule. In addition, a climax concerning a situation at your day job is likely—perhaps a project you’ve been working on will finally be completed?

On January 6, communication planet Mercury makes a harmonious connection with Uranus, bringing you surprising news. You’ll finally feel ready to pursue an exciting idea that you may not have been able to act on a few weeks back.Things will quiet down when Mercury enters Capricorn on January 11, finding you focused less on communicating with the outside world, and more concerned with connecting to your own inner voice.

This is a wonderful time to develop your psychic abilities or to start keeping a dream journal. Pay extra attention to the psychic downloads you receive during the new moon in Capricorn on January 16. And make time for rest: Recharging your mind and body during this time is the best way you can work the energy!Both your ruling planets, Saturn and Uranus, will be busy on January 13: Mercury meets the planet of responsibility, Saturn, finding you in an ultra focused, serious, and private mood. And both Venus and the Sun will clash with Uranus on January 14: Close-minded thinking is going to be super annoying to you. You need your freedom and flexibility, and you’re no longer interested in putting up with anyone who is trying to hold you down.Sweet, sexy Venus enters your sign on January 17, which will put you in a much flirtier mood than you’ve been in lately! You’ll have an easy time winning people over—Venus is the planet of charisma, and while it’s in your sign, people will be extra charmed by you. The Sun enters your sign on January 19, bringing a boost to your self-confidence, too.Mars enters Sagittarius on January 26, highlighting the sector of your chart that rules your social life—expect to get busy connecting with people at the end of the month. Being involved in your community is important to you; while action planet Mars is in this visionary Fire sign, getting involved politically is a great way to work the energy.Mercury clashes with Uranus on January 28, which will bring some stress; however, a breakthrough, eureka moment is also likely, and a conversation that perhaps you didn’t realize needed to happen may take place. The mood will be impulsive and irritable, yet electric—fantastic shifts may take place despite the agitation in the air.A lunar eclipse in Leo arrives on January 31, the same day that Mercury enters your sign. This means the end of the month will be major for communication and your relationships. While it’s in your sign, Mercury will find you being chattier than usual, and you can also expect to enjoy a boost in mental acuity. (This will be especially welcome if you’ve been in a mental fog due to all the psychic hits you were getting over last month or so, while Mercury was moving through Capricorn.)But what about the lunar eclipse? It’s a big fucking deal, so let’s talk about it. Full moons, as we previously discussed, are tiring and emotional. An eclipse is an even more profound, more life changing event. Eclipses ask us if we’re on our right path—and if we’re not, they place us where we’re supposed to be. This can be an uncomfortable process! Full moons are times for letting go, but eclipses close the door forever. Yes, it’s stressful as hell, but eclipses put us back on our path to our destiny. This eclipse is going to be major for your relationships— a huge shift will take place around your commitments. Expect some relationships to end, but also watch out for an important culmination in a partnership, one that may bring you two closer.This isn’t just going to affect your romantic partnerships, either, really—this eclipse can affect any relationship. What’s the best way to deal on this evening? Don’t cling onto the past. You’re a forward thinking person, Aquarius, and you know that the future has endless possibilities. The eclipse will ask you: With whom do you want to explore this future? Good luck this month, Aquarius, and see you in February!
