Happy solar return, Capricorn! Your gift this year? A full moon— a super moon, in fact— in Cancer, your opposite sign, on January 1! This is an important full moon for your relationships. A big climax is going to take place, and questions that have been weighing on your mind will finally be answered. Full moons are tiring, and make us feel sensitive (especially when they’re in moody Water sign Cancer), but they’re helpful in that they bring us perspective and reveal information.

Communication planet Mercury enters your sign on January 11, which will find you in a busier and chattier mood than the one you’ve been in over the last few weeks. Your mind will feel way sharper, you’ll finally move past the dreamy haze that enveloped your life while Mercury was retrograde in December.Mercury meets with Saturn, your planetary ruler, on January 13, which will find you discussing some serious ideas and important commitments. You may sign a contract or deal with some important paperwork on this date. You’ll be feeling focused; this is a perfect time to do work that requires you to concentrate!The planet of growth and good luck, Jupiter, is currently in Scorpio, expanding your social circle. On January 15, it will make a harmonious connection with power planet Pluto (which is currently in your sign!), helping you connect with influential people—make a point to network today.A new moon arrives in your sign on January 16, dear sea goat, and it will find you wiping the slate clean emotionally and seeking out a quiet atmosphere so you can be present with yourself. You’re a goal-oriented person, a planner, but all your thinking about the future can take you out of your body and leave you feeling ungrounded. Reconnect with nature during this new moon. Find a way to sink deeper into your body and your senses.

Love-and-money planet Venus enters Aquarius on January 17, and Aquarius season officially starts on January 19. Aquarius is an Air sign: It’s highly intelligent and inventive, but it has a rebellious streak. Take a risk this month—an unusual investment may lead to an exciting pay-off or a valuable learning experience. If there’s ever a time to try something new and different, it’s certainly while the Sun is in Aquarius. Venus brings blessings wherever it goes, so you can expect easy vibes around cash—at least until this month’s lunar eclipse, but we’ll get to that in a minute!Mars enters Sagittarius on January 26, finding reconsidering how you expend your energy. Mars is the planet of war, and Fire sign Sagittarius is an archer, equipped with a bow and arrow. This is a productive blend of energies! However, you may find yourself biting off more than you can chew, and thus shooting that arrow right into your own foot. You will find your psychic abilities boosted at this time—but, with your intuition so heightened, sleeping may be a little more difficult, or you may find that your dreams are much more active.A lunar eclipse in Leo arrives on January 31, the same day that Mercury enters Aquarius. You love talking about money, Capricorn, but even you may be surprised by what a big deal cash is at the end of this month! Mercury is the planet of communication, and while it’s in Aquarius, along with Venus and the Sun, it will be activating the financial sector of your chart. (On an emotional level, you can expect these planetary placements to stir up self-worth issues and highlight your desire to feel secure.) The lunar eclipse in Leo, conversely, is going to activate the sector of your chart that rules debts, taxes, and other complicated financial issues, such as inheritances, so you can expect things to be intense as hell on the financial front.Lunar eclipses are next-level full moons: even more emotional, even more exhausting, and even more life changing. In fact, you may find yourself being placed on a new path, one you weren’t expecting to walk down. Eclipses pull us out of situations and reroute us to where we need to be going; however, the process is often uncomfortable or unexpected, especially if we’ve been veering very far off our right path.This eclipse will also bring big reveals within your intimate relationships, so certainly circle the 31st on your calendar as a crucial date for your sex life. Full moons are times of release, and, again, eclipses are even more powerful. A major ending is likely to take place during this eclipse— it’s your choice whether you’re going to cling to the past, or if you’ll go with the flow of this eclipse and allow catharsis to take place.Good luck this month, Capricorn, and see you in February!
