Sagittarius, January 2018​

Taskmaster Saturn finally left your sign last month, after two-and-a-half years of keeping you disciplined—will this month be any easier?

New is your second-favorite word after big, so a fresh, brand-new calendar year makes you very happy—especially if it kicks off in a big, exciting way like 2018 does, with a super-full moon in Cancer!

Cancer is a Water sign, psychic and highly creative, though it can be a bit weepy and moody. Expect your intuitive abilities to be majorly boosted, but also to find yourself processing a lot of deep emotions and letting go of the past. It’s not like you to hold onto baggage, but you’re only human (well, half-human, sweet centaur), so even you have issues you need to let go of. This full moon will encourage you to do just that!

This full moon will bring issues concerning sex and intimacy to the fore. Last month’s full moon in Gemini found you partnering with people, and this month’s full moon will show just how deeply you can connect with and trust them. Deep secrets may be shared, and an opportunity to show how you can nurture and care for each other will likely come up. Cancer’s energy seeks to protect and nourish. Sex and trust aren’t the only complicated issues that will come up at this time—themes concerning debts, taxes, and inheritances will also arise.

Money is certainly a big theme for you at the start of this year, thanks to a cluster of planets— the Sun, sexy Venus, serious Saturn, and intense Pluto—in hardworking Earth signs Capricorn, lighting up the financial sector of your chart. Capricorn is a dry, practical sign: You might be an optimist, Sag, but now is the time for you to be more critical about how you’re spending your money, time, and energy.

Communication planet Mercury soon joins these planets on January 11, bringing even more news about finances and security. Before then, Mercury will be in your sign, putting you in a chatty mood. On January 6, it will connect with electric Uranus, bringing you some unexpected flirtations and some eureka moments around whatever creative projects you’re working on.

If you’ve been veering off your correct path, you can bet that the eclipse on January 31 will get you back on track, even if the process is uncomfortable.

January 8 is an exciting day. The Sun and Venus, both of which are in Capricorn, will connect with your planetary ruler, Jupiter. Unexpected pay-offs will finally come through! Listen to your intuition. This is a powerful time for manifesting dreams into reality. The atmosphere will be focused and productive, but there’ll a bright, confident and friendly energy in the air, too.

An especially exciting day will be January 15, when Jupiter connects with power planet Pluto, helping you meet some influential people and allowing you to tap into valuable hidden resources. A fresh start around finances and self-worth will arrive during the new moon in Capricorn on January 16—this is a fantastic time for you to cast a money spell or, more practically, to work out your budget.

Aquarius season is on the way! Venus enters this cool Air sign on January 17, and the Sun enters it on January 19, followed by Mercury on January 31. This will be a busy time for you: You’ll find yourself running around your neighborhood, meeting up with friends, catching up with your siblings, making deals, handling paperwork, and making calls. Luckily, your mental acuity will be ultra sharp—unlike it was for much of December, when communication planet Mercury was retrograde in your sign. Aquarius has a genius energy, so expect a few eureka moments later this month.

Action planet Mars enters your sign on January 26, boosting your energy and possibly making you a bit more confrontational that usual—Mars is the planet of war, after all! During this time, you’ll reconnect with your sense of purpose. Where do you want to point your arrow next, dear archer? What’s your heart calling you to pursue? Speaking of the heart, the end of the month brings a full moon even bigger than the one at the start: a super, blue, lunar eclipse in fellow Fire sign Leo, the sign that rules the heart.

Eclipses lead us to our destiny. If you’ve been veering off your correct path, you can bet that the eclipse on January 31 will get you back on track, even if the process is uncomfortable. Eclipses usually reveal shocking information and force us to see things in a new light. This eclipse in particular will bring you some much-needed (yet unexpected) perspective. If you’re in school, traveling, publishing something—or hoping to do any of these things in the near future—this eclipse will shake things up in a big way.

A new journey is ahead of you. This eclipse is likely to remove some opportunities you may have believed were absolutely crucial; however, in their place, you’ll find new quests that are better aligned with the lessons you need to learn. Good luck, Sagittarius, and see you in February!
