January Horoscope 2018 – Overview
Most of the world will experience two Full Moons in January. This is sometimes known as a “Blue” Moon but actually the second (on January 31 in Leo) will also be a Total Lunar Eclipse, so will appear “Red” where it will be visible.
2018 begins with a heavy emphasis on Capricorn and the Cancer Full Moon on January 1/2. You will find yourself balancing fear and the need to control your destiny against the mystery and creativity of letting life flow unimpeded towards your true potential. Opportunities for authentic change will present themselves from the next day onwards, in Aries, a direct Uranus also brings you the courage to take the plunge and trust your own instincts.
A week later, on January 8/9 the Sun, Venus and Pluto come together in Capricorn, bringing intense and transformative energy to generate powerful ideas and concepts for beautiful creations, artifacts, relationships, even projects with the ability to create longer term fame and prosperity. The reality of your life will become more clear on January 15/16. Hidden secrets will be revealed to you, courtesy of a productive connection between Jupiter and Pluto (which repeats on April 14/15 and September 12/13). You will renegotiate your priorities and find the power necessary to make an effective transformation. This energy carries into the Capricorn New Moon on 16/17 January, where Sol and Luna combine with Venus and three other planets in the sign.
January challenges you to take control of your life, crystallizing your intentions into physical manifestation. Capricorn is the master manifester and builder through its ruler Saturn, so you will need to have a clear picture of what you desire to create. It’s even more be important to make the right decisions, authentic to your true self.
When the Sun moves to humanistic Aquarius on January 20th, all Zodiac Signs could find themselves becoming more concerned with the welfare of their tribe or larger community of friends. Your intuition plays an important role at this time so be conscious of messages from spirit.
The Lunar Eclipse with the Leo Full Moon at the end of the month enables you to see your shadow side or shadow self more clearly and identify areas of your life where negative emotions are holding you back from healing your heart. There is an opportunity to expand your capacity for love through making magical adjustments to the way you perceive yourself and others who are significant in your life.
This first month of the year is a great time to take a risk and open up your heart to love and life once more!
